  1. Generally speaking access is denied should be actually called "insufficient permissions". These can be either permissions related to the file (so NTFS permissions on the file or the folder containing it) or to an operation performed on its settings (Registry permissions on involved/related keys). You should check both. jaclaz
  2. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/4-TIMES-BEEP-RED-LIGHT/td-p/7451727 Power supply or graphic card?
  3. Whose source code? You posted in "Install Windows from USB" which hosts a few different tools by different Authors... jaclaz
  4. Only throwing things on the wall and see if anything sticks but for what it costs I would try both: [Keyboard] kbdhid = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid USB = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid and: [Keyboard] STANDARD = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid kbdhid = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid USB = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid and see what happens, though I remember seeing a lot of people having issues with attempts to install 2K with only USB mouse and keyboard on more modern hardware. I don't think a "working for all" solution exists, maybe - if you *somehow* manage to workaround the error - some "fully unattended setup" you may get past the text mode and hve later in the GUI a fully working keyboard, but cannot really say. Search on the board for related posts by bluebolt and tomasz86, they did a lot of work attempting to workaround similar USB keyboard issues, maybe some of those posts can provide some inspiration. jaclaz
  5. Maybe useful, maybe not: https://github.com/adang1345/PythonWin7 jaclaz
  6. Well, you are missing a large number of settings then (not only the Administrative templates/System). Check that you have all the .adm files in the right directories, this experiment to add gpedit to Home edition - as a side effect - provides all the needed info: https://www.oocities.org/kilian0072002/GPEditHome.htm This is more or less how it should look
  7. Not necessarily on that model, but sometimes leds blinking mean "cannot boot". Sometimes these bricked devices can be resurrected with some magic spells (actually fiddling with inserting the power supply, pushing the reset button in a certain sequence, etc.), since it costs nothing you can try: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=98742 jaclaz
  8. As I cannot see, as in the screenshot you selected just the "root" aka "Local computer policy". Open "User Configuration", then: Administrative Templates System Not that it will surely work, but it should be there. jaclaz
  9. @Dave-H My XP system is in italian, so I cannot make a direct comparison, but the italian version of that thing is there allright in the corresponding path to: User Configuration Administrative Templates System The one you found is in a completely different path. jaclaz
  10. @Dave-H There should be an option to disable that message, if you are running XP Professional you can use GPEDIT: https://techjourney.net/disable-unsigned-driver-installation-dialog-prompt-in-windows-xp/ jaclaz
  11. Then one could put on it this thingy here: https://www.startech.com/en-eu/cards-adapters/pex2mpex and use the Mini PCIE card I found before: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404735703284 A sort of PCI Rube Goldberg device... jaclaz
  12. Not that much of a problem with around 11 (eleven! ) fivers: https://www.startech.com/en-gb/cards-adapters/pci1pex1 jaclaz
  13. And searching for ASM061, I found this (didn't know that such small ones existed, 27mmx30mm or so): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404735703284 AND (allegedly) compatible with: Mini PCIE, I know, still nice to know these exist. Back to topic, this is yet another (tiny) one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303881951057 with full and half height brackets, with drivers back to XP. jaclaz
  14. Hmmm : 3 ports total - 1 external = 2 ports internal (and actually from the photo you can see those two internal connectors, the difference is that they are not one next to the other) I would describe it as "similar, but with an additional e-sata port" , but you are right that the stated compatibility is only for XP and Vista (though probably it can still work with the generic VT6421 drivers also in Win9x). jaclaz
  15. I think that that SYBA card is SATA 1 (1.5Gbs), not exactly "bleeding edge": https://www.newegg.com/syba-sd-via-1a2s-sata-ide/p/N82E16816124009 It has a VIA VT6421(A) chip, so you should be covered: http://toastytech.com/files/w95stuff.html jaclaz P.S.: I don't think it will be much different from this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166617600874 "Free 3 day postage Located in: Amlwch, United Kingdom"
  16. Well, you don't really *need* a router at all for your use. Besides the "obvious" solution of a wireless card, or even a USB stick/adapter with wireless capabilities[1], what you need is a device that works as client, usually they are "access points" that can be configured in various modes: Access Point Client Repeater Wireless Bridge Some routers can be configured as well in those modes, but if you want to run OpenWRT or similar, you will need a (relatively) high end devices, as OpenWRT has grown in size and devices with 4 Mb storage/32 Mb memory are not anymore supported, and 8/64 devices cannot use latest versions: https://openwrt.org/supported_devices If you want an easy life, you can have a TP-Link TL-WAxxx for 30-50 Euro, if you want a nice little thingy that can also run OpenWRT, there are some nice devices from GL-INET around the same prices, if you are a little masochistic (or you simply want to try and learn new things) you can have a Mikrotik, there are end of line devices with AC (300 Mbit/s "target" speed) wireless (which are likely fast enough for your use) that are sold for around 20-25 Euro, whilst modern, small AX devices are in the 50- 60 Euro+ range [2]. jaclaz [1] that can be a PITA with drivers depending on the OS you are running [2] and that can do *almost anything*, learning how to make them do what you want will however be a challenge
  17. These reports seem to lead to issues with some form of cache (or rather missing cache) and/or de-synchronization between device (and/or its driver) and application. It seems like the Quickmirror is attempting to send more data than the system can bear or the system cannot tell to Quickmirror that it should slow down the sending of data. The problem might be in any point of the chain, but it still smells of something software related more than hardware. On the other hand the chkdsk slowness and controller errors seem a lot like "pure hardware" error (flaky SATA cable or connectors?[1]). jaclaz [1] in the (good?) ol' SCSI times there was a saying - if I remember correctly originally proposed by Jerry Pournelle - to the effect of "when you have a disk problem check everything, but the problem is always the cable", with IDE those issues were rare (with the exception of the madness that was - for a period of time - the cable select often problematic implementation) with SATA they are far less common than SCSI in my experience, still I would try different cables.
  18. Smart kids are smart, but when it comes to these technologies, all kids can do things you wouldn't expect. The advice the guy that runs a small phone (sales and repairs) shop around the corner gave to my mom last time, after having explained her how to change settings of her (new) smartphone was: "If you have issues, come here and we will try and solve them, if we are closed, ask the younger kids you can find, they will know how to ..." jaclaz
  19. From experience, whenever someone posts "I am facing the same issue" it means that it is a different one, with a confidence level of 99.99%. This said, something completely different was reported to happen some 8-9 years ago to a poor chap. We have got by now the idea that that particular model of Seagate drive is prone to failure (particularly if run 24h/7 in a data center), but the one Dave-H has shows none of the signs of a failing drive, so, while it may fail tomorrow, it hasn't yet. jaclaz
  20. Yep, but that is only due to February having 29 days this year. jaclaz
  21. I am also not convinced that the errors you got come from the added SATA card, the riser or some other combination of hardware /drivers. They seem to me too "specific" to be attributed to hardware issues. I have seen similar reports by people that were accessing NTFS with this (or that) version of filesystem drivers from Linux, related (directly or indirectly) to short name generation, but XP and 10 should not produce errors for this reason, other similar errors have been reported involving "NTFS resident" data, files smaller than around 780 bytes, but your files are "normal" ones. The paths you have shared are long, but not long enough to hit this (or that) limitation (that I know of), 102 characters for the path + an even longish filename won't ever touch the 255 character limit. And I don't think that the Paragon GPT driver is involved either, it should work at a "lower" level giving access to the volume, so from then on it is (NTFS) filesystem drivers that are in control. On the other hand the backup tool you have, if it uses some kind of caching/flow control or similar may (evidently in extremely rare cases) produce some kind of race condition that leads to the errors. BUT it is still not too convincing as a thesis, as - once the mis-writes of the relevant bytes happened - the error should be detected by BOTH the Windows 10 AND the XP CHKDSK. So, if it is detected on only one of the two OS, and this behaviour is consistent, it should mean that XP *somehow* writes differently from Windows 10 (and Windows 10 doesn't *like* the way XP writes in NTFS) which makes very little sense, as we would have seen tens, hundreds or thousands of similar error reports. I am really perplexed.
  22. Well, what is new is also usually old, or at least new things are not necessarily safer than old ones, unexpectedly face recognition just got a hit (in Thailand and Vietnam) JFYI: https://therecord.media/hackers-target-southeast-asia-bank-accounts-trojans-facial-recognition jaclaz
  23. But this is AudioPhysicalFingersFingerprint, it is an entirely new field. jaclaz
  24. The paper is here: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/2024-618-paper.pdf Of course everyone will start swiping with knuckles, scared by the possibility (actually extremely remote) that something like what is described in the paper actually works in the real world. A much more dangerous attack, with almost 100% success : https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4069090/Mommy-shopping-Six-year-old-Arkansas-girl-used-sleeping-mom-s-fingerprints-unlock-iPhone-buy-13-Pokemon-gifts-Amazon-total-250.html jaclaz
  25. Good now reboot to XP and run CHKDSK on it. Post results. Then reboot to 10 and run it again on 10. Post results. jaclaz
