I am looking for any recomendations for an External Drive Enclosure that will allow me to Plug both an Internal either ATA or SATA and 5.25" drive such as an DVD-Burner and plug into any usb or firewire port, I prefer usb for compatibility reasons.
My Idea here is to be able to cary around in my car (mobile service tech) this case and be able to have access to both data on the hard drive and have access to a DVD-Burner all in one external case.
I have looked high and low but can only seem to find an case that will do one or the other, but not both.
Any recomendations?
Many thanks,
MrChris

In windows if I have a file on my desktop that has for example 20 charectors in the file name somewhere after like the 10 or so charector it will add a ........ after it until I click on the file itsself.
Can I change it (like maybe in the registry) so it will show longer file names without having to click on the file itsself?
Thanks,
MrChris

I have the multiple CD version. I only downloaded the 2 CD's from Microsoft, I did not download the MSDN bundle, allthough I can if need be. I do not have access to the DVD version.
The thing is. I have created the ISOs for both CD's but when I start the install about 10mins into it it asks me for "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 ENU - Disk 1" but it does not take. I think but am not sure it may have to do with the volume lable.
I downloaded these from Microsoft via This link (login required).
Thanks,

Do you mean like these CD Codes for Windows XP?

Thanks,

Umm. No. NLite will not remove Windows Product Activation or Convert Windows XP Home Edition to Professional Edition or vise versa. However you if you dig around on this forum you will find a posting on how to convert Windows XP Home to Pro or really what determins the media version.

use the winxp/2003 command line shutdown.exe it will allow you to shutdown a local xp/2003 machine or a winxp/3004 machine on the network. Asuming you have permissions to do so. I think shutdown.exe is part of the Windows 2003 Resource Kit Here.
Hope this helps,

I just downloaded Streets and Trips 2006 from (Login Required) https://licensing.microsoft.com/eLicense/L1033/Default.asp but after I extract the SFX to a folder and create and ISO the install from CD1 starts but when It asks for the CD2 (Run CD) it is not seeing it for some reason. Everything on CD2 looks fine. I have created many ISOs and even tried to install it from a local folder with same results. And it doesnt even give me the option to point to a path for CD2 just an insert CD window and OK.
Can I maybe combine the 2 CD's into a single DVD?
Any Ideas?
Many thanks,
MrChris

Yes, There is plenty of free space, about 70GB! And I am mainly needing to get the Standby option back. But hibernation would also be nice.

XP SP2 all windows updates
Toshiba Satellite A55-S306 Laptop
I noticed the other day that the option to use standby was greyed out. It used to work but not anymore. Also when I go into power options in control panel If I enable hibernation and close the power options and go back into it its disabled again. All ACPI options are enabled in my BIOS. What the Fo?
Many Thanks,
MrChris

Well first and formost we would need to know a little about the drive and how you are plugging it into the new system. As well as what do you mean when you say "I have a computer that's board is fried" Are you talking about the Hard Drive controler on the Mobo, the Hard Drive Controler on the Drive itsself, or the mobo in the old system? Also what type of drive is it? IDE/SATA/SCSI/MFM/RLL/USB ect..... Also what type of format/file system is on the drive in question? It would help if you could be a little more helpful on some details,

Just wanted to let you all know (who has a DigitalPersona Biometric Finger Print Scanner) that I found a psudo way to make it work in Firefox 1.x. I use my DigitalPersona Scanner on a daily basis but thought it only major downfall is that It didnt support Mozilla. I HATE Internet Explorer and I use Firefox and now I can use them both and finaly ditch IE (Kinda sorta).
There is an extension that will allow you to view Tabs in an Internet Explorer Tab inside Firefox 1.x.
Tha extension for firefox can be found Here
I have not tried it with the one that Microsoft version of the Scanner but I supose it will work as well.

vmware just lauched a vmware tool that allows you to launch vmware machines without vmware installed
VMware player is more or less vmware workstation without the ability to create VM's. And WMware Player does require being installed.
But thanks for the tip.
MrChris
Are there any other Win32 based VM Emulators other than vmware,msvirtual machine, or qemu that is worth the effort?

OK Here goes it!
I have VMWare v5 and I love it a tone. But......
VMware needs to be installed and it is quite a thick application and depending on the PC I am on I may not be able to install vmware for licesening reasons and lack of admin rights on the host box.
I have an external usb exclosure with a 60GB drive in it, powered by USB cable. I would like to be able to walk up to just about any windows pc (asuming its has at least 512MB ram) and launch an exe file to open a VM emulator and start my windows xp machine right from my usb drive without having to install anything on the host pc.
Currently I am using qEMU with a nice little GUI frontend but qEMU lacks of speed even with the accelerator module enabled.
I am commonly going to internet caffe's to do some work and dont always have the apps I need at hand, but do on my vm machine.
Any I deas, or recomendations?
Thanks,
MrChris

External Drive Enclosure to support both 5 1/4 and 3.5" Drives
in Hard Drive and Removable Media
Posted · Edited by MrChris
Thanks for the reply,
I looked at all 3 pages but none of them (from what I can see) will support both a 5 1/4" and 3.5" drive at the same time and allow me to plug the external case into a USB or Firewire Port on a PC.
