Yes, make sure not to have duplicate entries tho. I don't know how setup will react to that.

Anonymous hasn't stopped showing their faces. Besides:

It looks like the support for either of these bills has fallen through.

I see what you mean. It may also come down to the monitor and settings I use and see it differently. But to each his own.

Sounds like you want to measure the per-interface data usage?

I don't think motherboards care what speed NIC it has in it. If you decide to get Gigabit (there is absolutely no reason why you'd want 10/100 really) then make sure the speed is the same across all NICs. Do not introduce any 10/100 into that network (especially if you want to have good performance) unless you end up getting managed switches with Link Aggregation. As far as a USB 3 comparison, I can't help you there.

Well we'll just have to see how it ends up. It might come down to in 10 years, I'll be in the Windows 7 forum all the time (like the Win98 guys are in their forum) and the new guys will be like "Y U USE OLD OS?" to me.

If they are that important and you feel they should be instituted company wide, then they should be added to the domain GPOs rather than the local system. The reason for this is that it is easier to manage those settings. Say there is a problem down the road, the domain admin can easily disable that setting for testing, or even so create an OU for a pilot group that doesn't have that setting enabled/disabled.

Deleting everything wouldn't make the drive disappear from the BIOS. What model notebook is it? Have you checked the SATA setting? Some notebooks have an option for RAID, and if it is set to that, it can (sometimes) not show up in the BIOS as it normally would. If you are feeling industrious, you could reseat the hard drive.

I've noticed many typos or Engrish in BIOS screens. So I'll make this thread so people can report what ones they find. Here is the latest one, from a Clevo W170HR Battery Low Alart Beep

Well maybe we should get on the same page regarding this term "manual restart." An unexpected shutdown, such as removing all power from a booted OS, or holding down the power button to make it turn "instant-off" will cause Windows Boot Manager to come up on the next boot up. However, if your use of manual restart means restarting through the normal means ie letting Windows handle it, then no this shouldn't come up by default. How often do you get the beeps? How many beeps are there?

For your ellipse layer, is it possible to change that into a gradient that has no color in the middle to make up for the problem with the gray color appearing over the white?

Look at our Unattend Guide for XP, here you can learn how to install applications with your XP install. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/28/

When you use Windows Setup to install a custom WIM that was sysprepped with an unattend.xml, Setup ignores that XML file in there. So if you are going to use an answer file with Setup, you'll need that info in your XML. The reason being is this: When you run sysprep /unattend, sysprep takes your XML, parses it and saves it as C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend.xml. When you run setup with an autounattend.xml, Setup parses the XML and saves it as C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend.xml. It does not check to see if there is one there already. So anything in your original XML that sysprep put there gets erased.

Your main object is the WillWipeDisk setting to be True. You can see its use here:

Isn't the Metro in Win8 already being used in the Windows Phone 7 OS? Its strange that MS is using the Phone 7 design in their current advertising for Windows (Desktop) 7, and then they will use it for their UI in Windows 8? What will their advertising look like for 8? What Windows 9 UI will look like?

That seems a little extreme.

That boot manager screen (with the OS selection) is common to appear after a manual restart of the system. As for why it beeped, I am not sure. I can't recall a notebook ever beeping. Can you post what make and model of the notebook is?

Those two options are on my 2008 R2 DC, however mine has Service Pack 1 installed. Does yours?

While the ellipse layers give a polished or glass type look over the back portion (on each side) of the image, it detracts over the white portions in the middle.

I am working on a project that required me to Ghost a hard drive. We stopped using Ghost on hardware over a year ago, so our Ghost boot keys do not have drivers for newer hardware. I resolved my Ghosting issue by finding an old motherboard that worked, so this is not a great need. However this topic is about a JMicron NIC, which is in the Clevo W150HNQ notebook. First I never heard of a JMicron NIC but that is besides the point. Using the driver downloaded from Clevo's FTP site, it did include an NDIS2 folder, which was what I used to adapt into the Ghost USB key. The unfortunate thing is that the connection speed was unacceptable! So I'm posting this here in case anyone ever runs into this but I had a question. Is the link speed determined by the driver (.dos) file or can it be set by some other means, such as the protocol or system.ini?

As good as documentation can be, it is surprising how lacking it can be. The last time I got to take apart a notebook, I think it was a Compaq also, it seemed to miss a step or two a couple times during the disassembly instructions. I figured it out but after putting it back together I had screws left over.

Unless you can find otherwise, it seems to me that printer settings (much like monitor settings) are based on the particular device installation or INF used, and not something that is controlled by the user profile. You can take a look at the multiple models' registry entries and see if the setting is kept there.
