How to convert a (multiple) space separated text into Tab delimited (with WORD). 1) paste the columnar text in an empty Word Document 2) Start the search/replace function 2) In the search field input 2 (two) spaces 3) in the replace field input ^t (the character t preceded by ^ means a TAB) 4) run the replace until no more occurrences of the two spaces is found 5) now input in the search field ^t^t (it means two conscutive TABs) 6) leave the replace field as is 7) run the replace until no more occurrences of double TABs are found 8) if the number of spaces between the columns was ODD, there can still be occurrences of either TAB followed by a single space or of a single space followed by a TAB, to "clean them re-run the replace function once with [space]^t and once with ^t[space] in the search field 9) copy the now tab-delimited text 10) paste it to the "final" word document At this point you can (as you wish) set the TABs or select the data and convert it to a table using the TXT->Table function, specifying that the separator is a TAB If you enable seeing "hidden characters" in the WORD document (where a space is shown as a dot and a tab is shown as a right handed arrow) will help you visually analize the proceedings. Just for the record, the apparent "misalignment" you experienced is due to the fact that NOTEPAD uses a FIXED font, whilst WORD usally defaults to Times New Roman which is a PROPORTIONAL font, i.e. a font where a letter like W takes as much as THREE times the space for a letter I. jaclaz

I knew that! Now I can better understand some of your points of view. You see, I started messing with a computer back in 1981 and my first computer was a Sinclair ZX80: http://www.bostonpda.org/zx80/zx80_hardware.htm (you actually had to ASSEMBLE it!) Second one was the ZX81: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=263 (it came pre-assembled, and I even jad the 32 Kbytes RAM expansion board! When the PC came out, it even had FLOPPY DISKS! (360 Kb), I built myself an XT with a 5 Mb Hard disk... When NT 3.1 came out, I was jumping for joy! Probably that's why I am less critic than you are on some elder OS, I have actually seen the progress as it was made, always having the most recent OS on the market, whilst you started with an elder OS, after having seen what other better ones could do. No, the ORIGNAL Windows 95 was not, as said the very first release was on a bunch of floppies, by the way with the "stupid" 1680 K format, then came the CD you remember with the boot floppy, then with latest releases, ÷ 1997 (OEM Service Release version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.5, cannot remember) there was a bootable CD allright: from here: http://www.dewassoc.com/support/index.html (click on Windows95, then on Installing Windows 95) jaclaz

@daemonforce I am just curious, please do not take this as an offence, but reading your posts here and 911CD Forum, I got the impression that in your opinion: 1.DOS is crap! 2.BartPE is crap! 3.Win9x is crap! Now it seems also like: 4.Linux is crap! 5.ReactOs is crap! 6.Windows 2k is crap! fortunately, at least XP and WinPE appear not to be crap! I would be interested in something more substantial than: as a reason to say that something is crap. As a side note, you must have your calendar a bit "out of date". NT 4.00 was released in 1996 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/WinHistoryDesktop.mspx Win2k end of 1999/2000 The el-torito standard dates back to 1995: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Torito_(CD-ROM_standard) EVERY board since 1997 has el-torito compatible BIOS, at least in "mode 1" i.e. floppy image. First release of Windows 95 was sold as either 26 or 28 HD floppies or bootable CD using this standard. EVERY board since late 1999 has BOTH el-torito "Mode 1" AND "Mode 2" i.e. "no emulation". This was a requirement for the "Windows Logo Program" for Me and 2k, so every manufacturer quickly HAD to update the BIOS if not already compatible. http://www.dewassoc.com/kbase/legacy.htm#BIOS MOST later boards have all THREE modes, including "Mode 3" i.e. hard disk emulation.

I am lost at this point.... Let see if I understand what you should have: a.) A computer that I call "local", whose name is "XXXXXX" with IP address 10.2.7.x a.1) A user account with Administrator rights in this "local" computer ("XXXXXX") called Marian whose login is "Marian" and whose password is "Yourpass" b.) A computer that I call "remote", whose name is "ERINI" with IP address 10.2.7.2 b.1) A user account with Administrator rights in this "remote" computer ("ERINI") called Marian whose login is "Marian" and whose password is "Yourpass" If you don't have the above situation, please post the corresponding information. jaclaz

I would suggest WALKING to the remote computer, log in as Administrator (or as a user with Administartive rights), create an account as "Mariam...", give to it Administrator rights, reboot computer, test if the user "Mariam..." can locally access the drive then WALK BACK to your machine and try again the connection. Once you have done this succesfully, you can try limiting the rights of the "Mariam..." user on both machines until you have left just enough needed rights. jaclaz

Well, you can hide/unhide partitions from XP with the FREEWARE MBRWIZ : http://www.geocities.com/mbrwizard/ Of course the batch file must be on the hidden partition and run at re-boot. After restoring, the same batch should re-hide the partition and re-boot again. Something like this has been discussed here between me and sisal: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...ic=14181&st=603 and following... there is even a "skeleton" of a batch file for it that also includes a kind of error checking through the "disk signature" win2k and XP put on hard disks: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...ic=14181&st=623 Of course this is tricky business, so you MUST have a boot floppy built like this: http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy33.htm with a copy of the DOS vversion of MBRWIZ or some other utility to manually hide/ubhide partitions should anything go wrong.... jaclaz

From the posted images it seems to me that: 1) you are logged in your local PC as Mariam... 2) you try to connect to remote PC 3) the Remote PC has NOT a user called Mariam..., so it DEFAULTS to Guest I may be wrong, but as said: 1) the "Mariam..." account on LOCAL PC must have Administrator Rights (after you have succeeded you can try with a non-admin user) 2) an account "Mariam..." MUST exist on REMOTE PC 3) the "Mariam..." account on REMOTE PC must have Administrator Rights You should check that on the REMOTE PC, if you login locally with the "Mariam..." account you have READ/WRITE permissions for that drive.

if termination is OK.... First thing, go here: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/s...dkey=AHA-2940UW and read what adaptec says about it. Second thing, go here: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm http://www.hitachigst.com/tech/techlib.nsf...in?OpenDocument and read what IBM/Hitachi says about it. Third thing, double check the cable you are using, try substituting it with another one. In my experience, when a SCSI device does not work, the problem is usually ALWAYS the cable. jaclaz

WHAT? 399 bucks for a cooler? You can save 10 bucks here: http://store.pcpowerzone.com/cofrcpuco.html But still seems to me a bit pricey... I would rather use the good ol' beerbox cooling: http://www.ranish.com/beerbox/ jaclaz

Well, no, from your screenshot you are doing it as ERINI\Guest. You must be Administrator (i.e. have Administrator privileges) on TARGET machine as well. If the Administrator account (i.e. the one with Administrator privileges) has NOT the same Password/Login on BOTH machines, you need to give Password/Login of the TARGET PC, otherwise you will have access denied. jaclaz

Yes, you need to have Administrator privileges. You can directly type the address of the network drive in the explorer address bar, something like: \\10.2.7.2\d$ \\OtherPC\d$ or you can use an utility such as this one (FREEWARE): http://www.softperfect.com/ http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/ jaclaz

Let's see if I can give you some hints: If you have a FAT16 boot volume (standard IDE) you can double boot Windows NT/2K/XP/2003 and DOS/Windows 98, (if it is FAT32 DOS is not possible) You can make the same with a FAT16 boot volume on a USB stick/drive. But you can also boot multiple NT/2K/XP/2003 as long as their system directory is different, and even if they reside on DIFFERENT DRIVES. So you can read my tutorial here: http://home.graffiti.net/jaclaz:graffiti.n...B/USBstick.html Or just search my posts about using BOOTPART : http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm To make the needed bootsectors and those related to BOOT.INI syntax.
