    - Formatting a bootable Hard Disk Hello! Friends: My OS is WinXP-Pro. I wish to create an identical disk (a new hard disk) to my C drive (bootable) so that when drive C crashes, I would have a back up to it. The drive letter to the new hard disk is D. I can format it with Disk Management, but was unable to make it a bootbale drive. Had tried in DOS with the command: FORMAT D: /s, but failed. Any helps? If it is impossible to do it this way as Windows prohibits to format D as a system drive, then what other ways to achieve this? Thanks. sengke Tag: Basic Volume and Dynamic Volume Tag: 324495

    - lost stuff XP Pro SP2 and a mess of updates. While in Disk Cleanup I went to the Windows Component Add/Remove to eliminate some unwanted progs. Bad idea. I've never figured out how to operate that thing properly. Anyway I lost, among other things, my Windows FreeCell game, one of the few things I ever play. Can anyone tell me how to reinstall that thing? I've found various FreeCells on the internet, but I like the original best.

    - Automated zipping command I just learnt how to create a new Compressed Folded and drag/drop several files into it, but how can I make an automated command to do the same without using the mouse? I am often zipping the same set of files. With PKZIP you could type e.g. PKZIP HEAP.ZIP THINGY.TXT CHUNK.TXT STUFF.TXT but PKZIP doesn't accomodate file names with more than 8 characters.

    - Access an XP data drive (no OS installed) using Vista Ultimate I have already taken ownership over what I was able to via the "Security" tab and it does show that I am the current owner re the admin portion of the drive, HOWEVER, physically...I am unable to view ANY directory or folders on this drive. Vista only shows a drive letter and when I click on drive...says "no access". Windows Vista recognizes only that it is a drive...but will not allow me physical access to it. This was only a slave (data drive) only. And some folders did have password protection, however, like I said...I have already changed ownership rights to the drive. I was the administrator of this "data" drive in my previous system and have all passwords, etc...it is just not allowing me to physically get into the drive to navigate around. So, what I need is clarification that there IS a way to physically access my SATA drive in my Vista system and if there are software settings I need to change in the security tabs first what are they? Will I need to put this drive back into a XP system? I would have to build or buy one...as all of my systems are currently Vista systems. then what is the best, most efficient way to get 200gb of data to my Vista system? -- John C - Midwest, USA Tag: Basic Volume and Dynamic Volume Tag: 324440

    - XP Pro SP3 Will Not Automatically Install Updates I have a client with a strange problem. XP will download the updates, but cannot install them. They always fail. If I do them manually, they will install fine. This machine was recently restarted from the ground up. I installed XP Pro SP2, then updated to SP3 using a CD created with the ISO from Microsoft. As far as I can tell, this machine has never installed an update on it's own. When I did the initial call, every update that was released from the end of May had failed. The system is set to update automatically. I got a call this morning from her stating that another update (KB951376) had failed to install. Any ideas out there?

    - Managing Multiple users on a single Windows XP machine. Is there a guide or white paper that someone can point me to that will discuss the details of how to manage multiple user accounts on a single XP PC. I need to be able to control such things as document and application access based on the user. The PC's in question had been used for the last two years by multiple persons with only a single login "administrator" . Now I want to set up multiple users and associate certain previously installed applications and folders to certain users. I have so many questions in this area. I am hoping someone has written a white paper that will guide me through the process and let me know just what is and is not possible. Tag: Basic Volume and Dynamic Volume Tag: 324417

    - Dual Core CPU I think my system is screwed up. I have a dual core CPU but when I look at CPU Usage in Task Manager I only see 1 panel. In device manager I do have 2 processors listed but under Computer I only have 1, an ACPI PC. I seem to recall when it was working that I had 2 ACPI PCs listed here. I suspected I had a problem when I tried to start a previous configuration of VMWare Server to run Ubuntu. I had that configured to use 2 processors but when I tried to get it going, it complained that it only found 1 processor and refused to start. How do I determine for sure if I have 1 or both cores working? If only 1, how do I get the other core working? I have XP Pro SP2. Thanks, Tony Tag: Basic Volume and Dynamic Volume Tag: 324413

    - XP keeps rebooting This started yesterday and I thought it might be SP3. First boot of the morning worked fine. Then I shut it down and later that morning the wife started up the machine. I have two hard drives, both equiped with XP home off the same CD. Well, it gets as far as Loading windows but never gets to the Welcome screen before rebooting. I thought it might be SP3 so I uninstalled it, windows did an update that morning, thus I removed them as well. If I unplug the slave HD, it works fine. If I switch the Slave to Master and vice versa, it boots fine. The issue is them booting together. I am sure it is probably a driver issue, but how do I find that out?

    - MMC?? After booting to my Slave Hard Drive (a clone of the Master), I decided to do some cleanup there. I tried Defrag, but it wouldn't open and gave me an error window, saying MMC (Microsoft Management Console, as I recall it) was not available or I didn't have access to it. I own this whole system and don't share it with anybody, so one would think that I might not be denied access to MMC. Not that I asked for access or knew it existed..... Yes, I can defrag it as the F-Drive while running C:, but is this MMC thing something that I ought to fix? Like, it's a clone to use as a replacement when the Master dies, and then I'd sure want full capability. Tag: Basic Volume and Dynamic Volume Tag: 324376

    - Offline files - Working offline, what is going on? I have a couple laptops that are giving me fits. Windows XP Pro SP3 and up to day. This was happening long before I installed SP3 File server is 2003 Server. They keep going "Off line". There's a little pop-up balloon that pops up and says: "Offline files - Working offline You are no longer connected to 'MyServerName'. You can continue working normally. Click this icon to view status." I've made this setting change: Windows Explorer\Tools\Folder Options, Offline Files tab, Advanced button. Set to "Never allow my computer to go offline. I found this information is NewGroup past, but don't know if it's relevent: This is 100% the SMB signing bug inhtroduced with XP SP1. The workaround was contained in KB article #331519, but Microsoft just recently yanked the article with no word, and has provided no substitute fix. Call MS, quote the article, and get it fixed. It has to do with turning off all digital signing on your 2k domain controller. At one point I thought it was because they had their wireless NIC on at the same time their LAN NIC was on, but that doesn't seem to be it. I also thought it might be Symantech's antivirus, but we tried disabling that and the laptop still goes in to offline mode. Anyone have an idea what I should be looking for to resolve this???

    - Unable to write to my NEC DVD_RW ND-3550A I can read a previously written cd or dvd but cannot write to a blank disk (cd/dvd)in the D drive. When attempting to write to the drive containing a blank CD I get an error message that there isn't a disc in the drive. Properties says that the free space and used space on the cd in the drive are zero. I can read the drive using Image Burn and it gives the correct amount of space used/available. I can also burn to the drive using Image Burn. This would preclude a defective drive. Am not sure when the problem occurred. By that I mean that I have not used the drive for a month or so and during that period something such as an new program could have changed the registry in such a manner as to prevent writing/recognizing a blank cd in the drive. Trouble shooting thus far: Based upon an MVP suggestion I changed the upper and lower filters in the registry to upperfiltersold and lowerfiltersold. Following this change I was able to read a CD, however I still cannot burn a CD. Prior to the change I could not read a previously recorded CD. The mvp suggestion was directed to another writer/poster and I had no direct communication with the mvp. The forum I was monitoring is: forums.microsoft.com/msdn. You might ask, why didn't I chat with the MVP... good question.. the answer is that I did not have my newsreader active until today, hence could not post. Also tried a system restore... but for some reason or another the OS will not restore..(restore is enabled) which makes me think that my problems are not just related to the driver/drive issue... The usual suspects for messing up the registry are Canon, Kodak, Itunes, Quicktime, Adobe photoshop and PhotoStudio. My problem is that I don't know how to go about isolating the above suspects as being the culprit of if indeed they might Note. Read in the one the Microsoft newsgroups.. don't ask which one.. the Kodak easyshare is notorious for messing up the registry.. Anyway I certainly will appreciate any information/solution that might be offered.

    - I need to password protect my pc at startup I have XP Home on my PC at work. I need to protect my computer so NO ONE else can get on to it. I know someone has been coming into the office after hours and on weekends and reading my emails and looking at files. Personal emails have been read and then marked unread but when I click them typically the person sending has "send a receipt" when opening emails and on Mondays I'm not getting that message if I reply to an email and the sender again replies then I do get that. Also when looking at properties on files it will say when it was last accessed and it will be a time I was not at work. So... How do I make my computer secure? Is using windows logon with a password secure enough so no one else can get on my pc? Is there a better way to protect my machine? Thanks in Advance!

    - Problem with "System Tray or task bar?"... Having a problem with what I think is called the system tray or task bar. Located at the right it is where most application icons are located. When I log on not all the icons appear. Perhaps 50% appear. If I log off and then on again they all appear. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Basic Volume and Dynamic Volume Tag: 324273

    - Deploy Windows setting Hi all, How could I configure/deploy/pre-set the same set of "View" settings in "Folder Options" to all users/all new users in a XP Pro machine? Should I manually tweak the registry or should something like the group policy be used? If so, what are the respective registry keys or which mmc should be use. Thanks for advise.

    - Re Failure to boot in Safe Mode Further to my earlier messages:- My machine is running XP Pro SP3, and I recently changed my disc over to be connected via a PCI card "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Controller". This was necessary as the motherboard does not support large discs in the bios. The system loads OK in normal mode, but will not load in Safe Mode. It gets to the state where I see a display of the drivers being loaded, but then drops back to the initial loading sequence. Further, if I try "last good", I'm pretty sure that a program error of some sort occurs (I see a quick flash of a blue screen with what looks like some error message), and again the machine drops back to the initial loading sequence. How can I diagnose these problems (I guess they are connected). I don't seem to have the option of a bootlog for the Safe mode, and, if I set it on in the boot init file, surely it will also be on for the normal load following, and overwrite the data I want to see! PS I have checked that I have the most recent driver for the board (dated 2007). Tag: Basic Volume and Dynamic Volume Tag: 324267
