Not that I know of... there may be. I would recommend moving your .pst file to the new drive first and see where that gets you. You may have to manually move most everything.

I believe you can do this with the W2k resource kit with the ntrights.exe command combined with GPOs. M$ Site Syntax

XP boots just fine on SATA

Interesting read... "Microsoft Windows Is Officially Broken"

nmX... I was aware that there is now PC-8000, I think that the 6400 will due just fine for me, no need to get too insane. So you think I should go with the 250GB Caviar huh? You think 2 of these will be faster than a Raptor if in Raid0 on my system? ???

@rjz ... This will actually by first system I've built. I am a college grad in network security and cryptography, but never have really gotten hardcore when it comes to hardware. So far I have purchased: ASUS P5WD2 Premium mobo, P4 650 3.4/2M/800MHz, Antec performance TX640B case and a Plextor PX-740A burner. I got a 19" Samsung LCD along with a Radeon X300 SE for $300 from a friend all brand new. The only things I lack like I said are the RAM and HD. @nmX ... I have been going back and fourth like I said, I know the Ballistix has tighter timings and will most likely be the better buy since they are both almost exactly the same price. As far as the Raptors, I didn't know they weren't a TRUE SATA drive?? Is there performance loss due to the PATA/SATA conversion?? This is another thing I have been debating on as my mobo supports TCQ (Tag Command Queuing) which is supposed to give better performance than NCQ drives. So, its either the Raptor or a bigger size TCQ drive. So all in all, I am really still only stuck on which HD to get.

??? And the better RAM would be? The Ballistix?

Gaming, DVD production, video editing, lots of applications. I need a fast machine.

Hmmm... alright, that'd make sense. I just figured if everyone had it I'd be able to find it on Google ya know.

Anyone know what C:\$UpCase is?? I know its a hidden file of some sort. Maybe a temp dir for something? The past few times I've defragged this comes up as being the most fragmented file. I have a D:\ partition as well and it comes up as D:\$UpCase. Any ideas?

Have you checked for the usuals, mainly spyware? AV scan? Look at your processes in task manager and see if there's anything abnormal. Could be AV software or other 'real time' software doing something on the HD.

If I'm understanding you correctly, when you goto Start > Shut Down your computer doesn't turn off and you have to hold the power button till it kills it? I have had this happen a few times before, I just cleaned up everything, deleted temp files, ad-aware, crap cleaner, SFC /scannow and a defrag restarted and I was good to go.

Hah... good find Jeremy... if you were just listening to it and not watching it you'd think it could be classified as porn!

As far as accessing their database and being able to just see a complete list of everything they have I don't believe you can. You can however download each file directly under where the video plays. Click where says "Can't See Video? View It Here." and download it to your computer.

As far as your explanation I'm not sure about booting from a PXE network, but it would seem possible. Boot, receive the boot image off a network and continue to boot up. Actually sounds like a very good idea! I just know that all data is lost once the power is turned off from the machine. RAM disks can also be as much as a 1000 times faster than a standard HD.

Anyone else have any other suggestions? This is killing me... I need OWA to work!!

You can't type anything? I thought the only problem was that the email was sending and being received but just with an attachment.

Thats what I don't get... why do we have it if we don't use it??? Why can't we unlock the power of our own thinker???

@Elektrik - How can you see anything with that background! That would drive me crazy, lol.

LOL... right... here ya go hunny... read this, tell me what you think. Hah!

My vote is for UltraVNC as well... always worked great for me.

Right... hahahaha.

Me too... I'm using 3 different browsers sometimes and they all go to the box.... is the window itself active? Is the title bar highlighted once you open firefox? Something else set to always be on top?
