@Batuhan ImDisk serves me well. If you need some special emulation, you can try Alcohol 120%.

Welcome to MSFN. It was not difficult to find a filehippo download page, but it plainly states, “the free version contains adware from third-party partners.” Malwarebytes could perhaps take care of that, but the page further states, “While DAEMON Tools Lite can be considered safe to use, there are concerns around a service called MountSpace that the developers introduced to capture user data.” A quick search indicates that the software has had a bad reputation for years, so I will post no link and instead suggest that you look for alternative.

Idk, i wouldnt switch to eclipse anyhow, althought his switch might be due to the rules here that make it hard for communication and testing of the extended kernel

In my my case this is not of any concern, because Windows XP is a Virtual Machine, with only read access to a shared folder on a Linux partition. In case something goes terribly wrong, I just replace it with a backup. This is nothing compared to the vulnerabilities in Windows XP itself. I've tried that, but it only gave me a headache, haha.

I suspect you may have too many Server 2008 updates. For whatever reason, win32 has not chosen to support the “January 2020” update level (which I assume is where greenhillmaniac’s repository stops). I would like to know what @burd says (since he has actually done it: I’m just an interested reader running Vista x86), but I think you should install only the Server 2008 updates pointed out by R3n. Edit: While I appreciate the reaction, burd’s next post convinces me that I was mistaken.

(offtopic) I don't have MailNews, so I can't answer that unfortunately. But you might consider using Notepad++ for viewing/editing complex text files, like source code. Version 7.9.2 is the last version that runs on Windows XP. Comes with Italian language file as well. :

Nah. StartIsBack++ 2.9.13

Done!

I have tested your approach, but DELTREE seems to ignore attributes. Afterwards Windows recreated Recycle Bin as expected, but was NOT 'seen' as empty by Windows on my system, although it was empty actually. After 'emptying' everything was fine. So there must be some administration outside the Recycle Bin. Can't find it! See my screenshots: http://imgur.com/gallery/ATh81qo BTW the two deleted files had both attributes RAH, One started with a dot, one with '~'. Can not be seen on the screenshots. After my experiment I took a look in the Microsoft MS-DOS 6.2 Technical Reference (1993). On page 177 I found: 'The deltree command deletes all files contained in a directory or subdirectory, regardless of attributes.'

TRIM and garbage collector are two different things, and the alternative tools that supposedly support TRIM commands do not work as intended. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/04/ask-ars-my-ssd-does-garbage-collection-so-i-dont-need-trim-right/ I know that XP will run fine with any SSD brand if you don't care about its degradation over time, they are able to re-write thousands of GB's after all. as a side note, Acer recently got into the SSD market but their SSD don't even have a custom made utility. https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/27/22405943/acer-ssd-solid-state-drive-nvme-pcie-m2-biwin-storage-ram

I bought 1tb wd black mobile hard drive to my 2006 laptop running Windows XP professional (HP Compaq nc6320) . Depending from use it may be needed. For example I got truckloads of movies, videos, music, games, software on mine also multiple virtual machines. I like that laptop for being "tank" (strong, thick and durable case), size of it and weight. Hard to find modern laptop that is as durable without breaking bank

Maybe you are yourself the Magician? The real (good?) question might be "Does it make sense to use a top-performing SSD on a SATA II bus?" Or would using an el-cheapo "normal" SSD be more than enough? And do you really-really *need* a 500 GB SSD (on an old laptop)? jaclaz

then how can I use samsung ssd with my Windows 98 computer . SSD or hdd wont need driver, however interface it is connected (sata, m2, msata) needs magician atleast on my experience offered drive health and ability trigger trim to ssd but modern SSD got good garbage collector built in so trim is not neccessary and crystaldiskinfo shows drive health as well

@kasfruit, I respectfully disagree. The question was ''Can my 2006 Laptop use Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD?'' NOT ''Can my 2006 Laptop use Samsung Magician?'' To my knowledge, Magician is NOT required in order to use the 860 EVO SSD. Magician might offer some extra optimizations, but they are not required. Please explain, with appropriate references to Samsung documentation, if I am mistaken. While I have used the Samsung 850, 860, and 870 SSDs, it has always been with Win 7. I have not used any SSD with XP, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Cheers and Regards

''Can my 2006 Laptop use Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD?'' NO it can't. The last version of Magician utility for XP does only support the 850/950 SSD

Thanks!!! it works perfectly!!
