That's a very bad example actually because movies are made of 1Gig or less .vob files . So ripping a movie to a FAT32 disc is not a problem either as long as you don't try to make it an iso.

Could try putting the old disc in the machine, recover, and image that fresh install partition to the new HDD. You'd have to edit boot.ini. Or image the whole drive to the new one then recover ?

Combos are not supposed to burn DVDs. They READ DVDs and BURN CDs. And as said before, the 4GB limit applies to files on the HDD (FAT32) not on a CD/DVD.

If it's only drivers you need, you can find them on Acer's site, for XP as well as for Vista for that model. I't be easier indeed to reimage it with her install CDs if you could find them. If it's still the original HDD, you can try reimaging from the "recovery partition" (also if it hasn't been wiped) by pressing a key combination at boot, I think it's Shift+F10 (and it first need to be enabled in Bios), but I guess their helpdesk would have told you so.

It is snot clear how you proceeded the second time. You could restart from scratch and use the (1st) last_session, then chnage only the desired option, or restart with your result files, not import anything and select only "tweaks" and your change. st method is always better but longer. 2nd method should work. Don't know what you did precisely. I've once seen a "Bad Pool Caller" BSOD but it was a hardware problem (bad RAM stick).

that limit is 4GB for a file. So there should be no problem handling those 1 or 2GB. "Nothing shows up" where ?

To my knowledge there is no straight way to do this. You'll have a few choices, you just need to understand the concept. Either you move all the data to the 1st partition then increase its size to full disk, either you move a bit to disk 1 (if there is not enough space on partition1) then proceed as well. In a few words, to get rid of a partition, you'll need to empty it first. There is NO MERGE. An excellent freeware for this is GPartEd (Gnome Partition Editor, boot CD). Search, you can download an iso.

What DOS are you running to be able to write to a 260GB partition ? Is it home brewed ?

I don't know if your company has a legal expert but maybe you should check with him what the current situation is with the work you've done untill now.

And the question is... "why does it work ??? and, is it broken ???" I don't really get it. Is it an automatic connection that you never choosed to have ? An explanation on your configuration and what was going on before is welcome.

OK, what's on your DVDs ? Any "i386" folder ? Or as we suspect few huge image files with ".gho" or ".pqi" extension ? You will probably have to extract that image and the i386 that's in it. I guess there are more simple ways to make what you want to end up with if you have a regular Vista disc and all drivers for your machine. I'm familiar with it with XP, don't know of the few files you need to keep your Vista "preactivated" are the same as with XP. +This should be moved to the vLite forum.

edited because my browser frozed and I pressed the submit button again... so it posted it twice.

I'll be the good guy this time. I believe the question is "how to ?" Just use the menu "File / Import&Export" in IE and follow the instructions to save your bookmarks to an HTML file that can be reimported in your other IE. If needed.

Welcome to the forum. This question comes every week. The search function could have saved you some registration time.

Higher resolution, less scroll bar. Bigger monitor with same resolution (like going from 17" to 19") will only get you exactly the same but slightly bigger image with exactly the same scroll bars. Of course, if your sight is not that good and you don't use the native resolution (like you'd use 1024x768 on a 17"), having a bigger monitor could allow you to be confortable with the native and higher resolution.

Start recovery console from your XP CD and use "chkdsk c: /p". Could solve your problem.

The ini file is stored in the nLite program folder (program files\nLite\presets) as well as in the root of the temporary (working) folder. For this last one, there is an option in the program to not create it (so it's not on the ISO or on the CD). About integrating things one by one, it depends on what you integrate and what you've removed already, so I think there is no clear answer for this.

Surely the Vista one is still under warranty ?

You must realize Microsoft Windows Millenium is not a freeware, don't you ? Nobody is going to send parts of it by mail to someone they don't know. Search ebay for a cheap ME disk.

Any reason you did that ? -Did you have Internet before that ? -Is there any led on the router that states Internet Connection is OK ? -Can you still connect to the router trough your computer's browser (typing the Ip in the adress bar) ?

Did you follow Jaclaz's list of advices ? Specifically #1) ?

Come on, man, can't you take reponsability for your own blatant mistake and have little laugh at yourself ? "CONFUSING" ?

I'll read that one 100 times again and come back tomorrow.

Welcome to MSFN, Forum Rules: 12. Very often we see meaningless subjects in topic title. They give no clue of what the posts are all about. For example: - Oh no! - Help - I'm mad - Please help - Question - I need your help - Hmmmm .... This should be avoided. Users should enter something more specific in topic title so that it is easier for others to help.

Thanks for your time, I didn't ask for someone to spend an hour on this . So if I understand, those background saved files can be used "as history" if the file has been saved with errors "by mistake" and this only while the file is still open. Further more, the option is no help in any of the 3 possible "after Word scenario". -you saved your document and saved yourself -Word or your PC crashed and auto-recover saves you. -you chosed not to save and are out of luck, by your own stupidity (he's not a friend ).
