easiest way is to open a cmd window and type diskpart at the diskpart prompt type a ? it will list all of the possible commands. Pick the command you want more info on and type it followed by a ? to get more info. or check out: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300415

take out the memory you added and see what happens. or run memtest or such memory tester on the system and see what you get.

Check the timeline in the unattended guide: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/13/ svcpack.inf is the earliest point after driver installs, t-13, cmdlines.txt is next at t-12

bios upgrade, check acpi settings in bios

what model of computer?

try removing the drive and plug it into your IDE controller, either the drive or the converter may have died.

The only thing I can think of from the info we have is that it is not liking the fact that you renamed the 'docs and settings' folder. Try it with the default and see what happens.

This can be done using the TWEAKUI utility from the "My Computer" tab, and just deselect the tick next to drives you want to hide. But only works for the current user. All this does is change the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NODRIVES which is a 32-bit word (DWORD). The lower 26 bits of the 32-bit word correspond to drive letters A through Z. Drives are visible when set to 0 and hidden when set to 1. Drive A is represented by the rightmost position of the bitmask when viewed in binary mode. e.g. A bitmask of 00000000000000000000010101(0x7h) The bitmask above hides local drives A, C, and E Drives hidden using the NODRIVES setting are not available through Windows Explorer, under the My Computer icon, or in the File Open\Save dialog boxes of 32bit Windows applications. File Manager and the Windows NT command prompt are not affected by this registry setting. So make a 'reg add' command or a .REG file to change it. Or write an app.

How about keeping the thread on topic. Thanks

depends upon what I'm doing and if I'm using wireless or wired network. average around 4 hours, minimum has been 3 max around 7

is this a reinstall to a drive with an existing xp install without formatting the drive?

Definitely infected with something. Get machine cleaned up first. Also you can get Process Explorer from microsoft and see if it will run instead of the default task manager http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysintern...ssExplorer.mspx

It has been awhile since I looked at the Roxio installer, but look here for some info. And look under the feature section of the MSI and see if Drag 2 disc is listed as an option and select just that one.

what does the file header look like in a HEX editor, like Hex Workshop?

Possible solutions: 0. Be sure you have enough space on you hard drive for the file to be created, hiberfil.sys size=memory size. 1. Boot to safe mode, delete c:\hiberfil.sys, reboot and try enabling hibernation. (Be sure to set windows to show all files.) 2. Uninstall Daemon tools and Alchohol burner, reboot and try again. If successful the reinstall removed software.

Nice job. I wrote a autoit script that does the clicking for you: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...;p=555535 Though this can work, most are looking for full unattended image deployments.

there are online sites that will give you your local tv listings. I have not seen something like what you get for a channel/program guide with satellite or cable.\ EDIT: I take that back looks like Beyond TV has added a Program guide http://www.snapstream.com/products/beyondtv/features.asp

there is not pretty way to cover multiple HALs except the ones Microsoft already lets you change between. If you are targetting just ACPI Uni and Multiprocessor HALs then it is no problem.

awesome

Forget the CTRL+P, not needed. When you use ALT+three it should show up on the screen as soon as you let go of the alt key. There are a handful of applications it won't work in, but that is how I posted them in my previous post. Another option is to write you file in notepad and use the character map, but that is much more annoying in my opinion.

If you want to try it yourself the cd key is in HKLM\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\digitalproductid it is reverse base24 encoded in bytes 52 through 66, which when decoded will give you 25 characters of the cd key. Possible key characters are B,C,D,F,G,H,J,K,M,P,Q,R,T,V,W,Z,Y,2,3,4,6,7,8,9. I was going to suggest trying KeyDecoder from the here but the attachment links are broken. I'll see if I can get it fixed or repost them when I get to work tomorrow.

From: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...;p=383775 Original version with only the options to get local machine information. KeyDecoder.exe Keydecoder Enterprise v2.27 - local and remote machine data collection KeyDecoder2.28e.exe Also a few other Topics or posts that had downloads in them are missing the attachment all together. there is no tag left on the pages for them.
