  1. How long time PC was without CMOS battery ? Should be at least 20-30 minutes.

    Wow. :w00t: Where do you get that from ? Experience ?

     

    To the OP. Where does that PC come from ? Was it running fine before (that you're 100% sure of) ?

    Also please edit your 1st post as to have a relevant title. "big problem" doesn't mean much.

  2. That PC will be over 15 years old... If there is any chance they've been touched by something (mice :D, or maybe the case has been open), you could try resetting the cables that connect your hard drive and maybe an other (slave) device to the motherboard and to the power supply. Check cables at both ends. If nothing has moved, check (feel) if the disk is spinning. If not, try an other power cable. Good luck.

  3. nLite does not support changing any partitioning/format option. You'll have to check that in the XP "unattended" forum and (I believe) manually edit your Winnt.sif after nLite has produced it and before you build/burn the ISO.

  4. can copy/move files into those folders after clicking the button to make it do it anyway.

    I have difficulties understanding the meaning of this sentence. Point 4 in the provided link should have solved your problem.

    You could try this is disk space is not a problem;

    if problem directory is D:\X\ , rename (if you can, as you said you did take ownership) to D:\_X\

    Create new directory D:\X\ ,

    Copy (not move) everything from D:\_X\ to D:\X\.

    Check if problem is solved on new files. Delete old files if it is.

  5. You say you "moved" the files, this is the problem. Moved files keep original rights, copied files get new rights from the folder they are copied into.

    I've also reset permissions on everything but it still does the same permission denied thing.

    I don't know what exactly you've done there but you now need to "take ownership" of the fies that were previously protected for "any other user" only. I guess the USB drive is NTFS formated.

  6. renting does NOT make something yours

    can't believe grown up person can't understand this...

    and for the 3rd time, and hopefully last time, if-you-leave-something-on-non_your-property-don't-expect-it-to-be-secured

    Don't talk about grown ups until you get there.

    A cemetery is not "things laying around". Even a 5 year should know.

    How about someone taking the stones ...or coffins off those unguarded cemeteries? Have a barbecue in the middle of it? Please don't answer.

    How about taking crops from an unguarded field? Does it even matter if the field is rented by the farmer or his own? Please don't answer.

    What about you renting a house and someone gets in and go with your unguarded TV? Please don't answer.

    Do you not see that securing everything has a cost to society that basic education could lower? Do you realize how much extra cost in studies is lost in something as irrelevant as the locks on the doors of every type of car that is built? Please don't answer.

    There is a name for the way you're answering. Stay out this thread.

  7. Tall Emu Online Armor has been bought by Emisoft. There is still a "free" version.

    "By default Emsisoft Online Armor installs as a free fully functional 30 day trial version. After the trial period you can either choose to buy a full version license or switch to the limited freeware mode. Of course you can decide to upgrade again at any time by simply renewing your license."

    I haven't yet tried it, I still have an old version from Tall Emu running (also with limited functionalities).

  8. it acted like the Ctrl key was stuck on.

    So, is it ? Take your keyboard with both hands (PC turned off) and hold it vertically. Tap it gently few times on your desk. Watch all the crums, hair, dust fall down. Then if you can, hold it upside down with one hand and tap all keys with the back of your other hand. Check if any key is behaving differently. Retest.
