Sysprep The System Preparation tool, Sysprep.exe, is a disk-image-based deployment tool that you can use to install identical configurations on multiple computers. You can also use Sysprep to customize and automate MiniSetup and to audit computers. You can run Sysprep as many times as you want; however, if you are using a non-volume licensed version, you can only run Sysprep.exe and the MiniSetup Wizard three times on the same operating system installation. You cannot run Sysprep a fourth time. This also applies to Riprep. On a reference computer, install the operating system and any applications that you want installed on your destination computers, and then run Sysprep. Sysprep prepares the hard disk on the reference computer for duplication to other computers. You can then run a third-party disk-imaging application. The major advantage of Sysprep installation is speed. The image can be packaged and compressed; only the files required for the specific configuration are created as part of the image. The shortened GUI-mode Setup can take five or six minutes instead of 45 to 60 minutes and prompts the user only for required and user-specified information. Because the reference and destination computers are required to have identical HALs and ACPI support, you might be required to maintain multiple images for your environment. Important Before performing disk duplication, check with your software vendor to make sure that you are not violating the licensing agreement for installation of the software that you want to duplicate.

Yep, but the man was talking about Windows processes not services.. msmsgs.exe, lsass.exe, svhost.exe, csrss.exe, smss.exe, CCAP.exe are windows processes

You can use tools from resource kit of MS Windows 2000 Server..

You should do that on the setup, otherwise it would be called a piracy..

Maybe you can contact Sony tech support It may be possible that PCMCIA slot is malfunctioning

prathapml just said that you could use Easy recovery to recover deleted files from the disk

You could try with last known good configuration..

You got a SPIM issue, click on the link to get more information.. SPIM

Did you do something before that happened (installation of some software or drivers)?

Why don't you install Fresh XP with SP2..?

Slipstream SP2 on that CD

Did you check the "allow users to connect remotely to this computer" on the remote computer?

Agreed

According to my knowledge you always need some kind of player to play any media on PC..

Can you see this disk in BIOS, have you setup jumpers correctly?

I'm having problems with my MGE UPS 300VA with serial/usb connection... Let's start from the beggining when I bought it.. I connected USB to my PC with USB cable and load windows, windows detected it and everything was working fine. I could see the state of the battery, the manufacturer information etc. Then one day when I powered my computer it stopped on P4C800 Deluxe MB screen and stayed that way until I disconnect USB cable from UPS... When windows loads I reconnected UPS and the message says: USB device not recognized or is malfuctioning.. Off course I called service for it and then service technician changed the "card" in it.. (probably USB/serial connection card ) Then it worked for some time and then again the same error, and this time service techinician told that on his computer UPS is working normally.. I brought it home and connected it and UPS was working normally??????? It worked for a month and now again the same problem.... I connected it with serial cable and then tried to install MGE app which detects this UPS through serial connection and error states that UPS cannot be detected.. It seems that this card that was changed by technician again is working problems... What should I do??

You can access your partitions by booting from XP CD and using recovery console..
