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. Read this also: http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy33.htm And the thread P4ntboy suggested: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=34&t=61384 You should be able to get what you want....

If I get it right, you have C: (Primary Active Partition) which is FAT32 where it resides Windows ME. You have D: which is NTFS where it resides XP. You somehow repaired Windows XP and you lost the option to boot into ME, but booting into XP works as expected. What you are missing is a bootsector for WinME to be added to the NTLDR menu, i.e. in BOOT.INI. You can make such a bootsector with BOOTPART: http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm 1) Download it and unzip it in a directory on your C: drive, say C:\BP 2) Under XP open a command prompt and navigate to that directory 3) Issue the command BOOTPART without parameters, it should show a list of your partitions 4) Run BOOTPART WINME C:\BOOTSECT.WME "Windows Millennium Edition" 5) Reboot, you should be able to get the choice to boot into Windows ME For reference, read these: http://forum.winimage.com/viewtopic.php?t=278 http://forum.winimage.com/viewtopic.php?t=276 http://forum.winimage.com/viewtopic.php?t=281 jaclaz

You could try the EWF filter, cannot say if it works in 2000, though. http://osf1.gmu.edu/~sfiorito/eXPinstall.htm http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=16239&hl= jaclaz

NEVER format a USB stick (i.e. flash memory) as NTFS (or, in Linux, as REISERFS) they are semi-journaled or journaled filesystem, you can WEAR OUT your stick in a few hours. Under Windows XP, you will need to use the EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) from Windows Embedded to prevent NTFS to continuously write to your stick. It is OK to use NTFS on USB Hard Disks, of course. The most compatible format is FAT16, not FAT32, as some motherboards (elder) won't boot from a FAT32 formatted stick.

@sarahC Happy it worked! @Dels You should re-read my previous post, I am bolding relevant parts: jaclaz

Actually quotes are needed when part of the arguments (i.e. for example a PATH, like C:\Documens and Settings\whatever contain a space) as it seems like there are no spaces in the path, I would try taking ALL the quotes out.... However quotes must NOT surround parameters, i.e. this line: start /wait "$systemdrive%\Install\copytodvd\sleep.exe 60" MUST be written as: start /wait "$systemdrive%\Install\copytodvd\sleep.exe" 60 but as said, will work as: start /wait $systemdrive%\Install\copytodvd\sleep.exe 60 jaclaz

Try using this proggie: DRIVEUSE http://freezip.cjb.net/freeware/ http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv/fr...re/driveuse.exe (only 7Kbytes, so it won't occupy much space) it will take SOME time to thoroughly scan your hard disk(s).
