In the v7.1 version, there is a section called "Disk information" where it looks at the drives. You may or may not need the GimageX_COM.dll to be loaded. I am not so good at VBScript as others, I just keep that project going, not make any code changes. Its more of a community project now. Here is the code block, obviously you can't just use this peice as the vars are declared elsewhere in the HTA file, but it may give you a start at writing your own implementation. Sub VolInfo(tmpstr1) Dim strComputer, objWMIService, colDisks, objdisk, Size, strDriveType, FreeSpace, Totalfree, Space StrComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colDisks = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk") On Error Resume Next For Each objDisk in colDisks Select Case objDisk.DriveType Case 1 strDriveType = "Unknown" Case 2 strDriveType = "Usb-Drive" Case 3 strDriveType = "Hard Disk" Case 4 strDriveType = "Network disk" Case 5 strDriveType = "CDROM" Case 6 strDriveType = "RAM disk" Case Else strDriveType = "Drive type Problem" End Select If strDriveType = "Hard Disk" OR strDriveType = "Usb-Drive" OR strDriveType = "Network disk" OR strDriveType = "RAM disk" Then FreeSpace = Cint(objDisk.FreeSpace/1073741824) Space = Cint(objDisk.Size/1073741824) TotalFree = Space - FreeSpace Size = "<TD align ='right'><B>Size: </B></TD>" & "<TD ALIGN = 'right' width='40px'>" & TotalFree & "GB / </TD><TD>" & Space & "GB</TD>" Else Size = " " End If tmpstr1 = tmpStr1 & "<TR><TD><B>" + objDisk.DeviceID & "\ " & objDisk.VolumeName & "</B><TD align='center'>" & "(" & strDriveType & ")" & "</TD><TD align='center'>" & "<B>" & objdisk.filesystem & "</B>" & Size & "</TD></TR>" Next On Error Goto 0 End Sub

Nope, no pause on the original arcade game. I hear he took 30minute breaks every now and then, but the game stayed on when he did that. This means he had to build up the extra guys so he wouldn't lose the game while he was away.

The DNS settings on your physical computer should be the ones for your ISP. The DNS Settings for the domain are in your godaddy.com control panel.

Yeah, the only reason I thought it was RDRAM was because it needed to be in pairs. Prior to Dual-Channel technology, RDRAM was the only type to my knowledge that had such a requirement. The fact that there is 168pin SDRAM PC133 AND 168pin RDRAM PC800 (for use on 133MHz FSB) adds to the confusion. However, we can easily do a comparison now as to what memory you actually need. This page has a picture of RDRAM 168pin: http://www.amazon.com/EDGE-memory-168-pin-RDRAM-103996-B21-PE/dp/B0000A58OS Main things to notice is the location of the notches (or the keying) of the edge (no pun intended) connector. These are in a different place than the memory from the ebay auction. Also, (again to my knowledge) all RDRAM has heat spreaders on them, because of the speed they run at. Only premium SDRAM came with heat spreaders. You should be able to compare the pictures to the memory in your computer to see where the notches are, and which type you actually have.

If you can have diskpart output info, then yes. List Vol command will show drive letters, file system type and size. You can use this info. Alternatively, the Imagex HTA code in my sig has VBScript that lists drives as well, and identifies the type of drive it is. The only thing wrong is that it sees mapped network drives as hard drives, but does correctly identify USB Keys as USB-Drive.

Also, I forgot, you may need to see if the remote shutdown option is disabled or not-set in Local Security Policy.

Well MSFN just has the ones that came with the forum software, and maybe some old leftover ones from previous versions. Some other sites I go to have custom ones too. Before emoticons, people would just type little faces with letters, then when forums became popular they made those faces have actual pictures. The reason why they don't appear in the codebox is because everything in there has no formatting. That way we can post code and not have the board screw it up on us. There are a ton of other ones, some people do them facing the other way like (: or O: or D: Also there are a bunch of other types like ^_^ or x_x or o_O or O_o or xD

Yeah the flash drive thing is annoying. My Win98 PC does not see those either. Stinks because I have a floppy drive, but only in that PC and my other PC doesn't have one. Man I had no idea there would be a reason to keep old books laying about. I recently recycled about 10 NT and 98 books.

It should be pretty similar to Win PE 2.x. The main differences between that and 3 are more back-end stuff.

Let me put it this way. I have found the hard way that RDRAM was not matched in speed until DDR2 came out. To say DDR2 @ 533 is the same as RDRAM @800 as far as what I can see. I notice a different between DDR (not DDR2) speeds vs RDRAM speeds. Not so much DDR2. For me, its not "too bad" you can't use SDRAM, the timing and speeds should be noticeable for you. Do not think it would be good to go to SDRAM because it will be slower and you may end up noticing it. I am glad I did not stay with DDR for too long!

I have never gone to this site with a browser that wasn't firefox.

You should be able to connect an XP and NT PC using a crossover cable (ethernet) and set static IPs on both... The only way I know via a serial cable is to use the old LapLink app, but I do not know if they made one for XP.

Here are the 2 options:

The base memory may be there if the board supports RAID at all, not sure. I'm surprised about this 133MHz RDRAM thing, it appears that there are a version of RDRAM designed to work on the 133MHz FSB! They should still actually be the faster components instead, such as my PC has 2x 256MB and 2x 128MB but they are PC800 and run on the 400MHz FSB with Intel P4 CPU, which we know wasn't really 400MHz anyways. One thing to keep an eye on tho, is that the older RDRAM has a different pin-package (and price) than the newer, more common stuff. For example, if you just search for RDRAM you will most often find 184-pin package offerings. However the board I have does not use this kind, it uses 168-pin instead. As an example for me, in order to keep matching sets of Kingston or Samsung, I would use this option: http://www.google.com/products?q=rdram+168-pin+samsung&hl=en&aq=f The idea I could use 2x1GB sticks and 2 blanks, however these options do not exist at least right now! Also the idea of using 4x 512MB might be there, those prices are significantly lower, however most options are USED products with no warranty. If you are getting memory that is said to work with your particular system, make sure to check if Dell ever did a revision, and also that the RDRAM you are getting has the correct number of pins that you need. It would be a waste if you bought it and it was the wrong ones. I wanted to find an example of the 1GB RDRAM with 168-pin but it looks like neither google shopping nor pricewatch actually have them listed.

Motorola Surfboards (as noted above) have the ability to learn MAC Addresses. The best way to be able to hot-plug devices to this modem is to use MAC Address cloning. Otherwise, you need to cycle the power on the modem, as it is designed to allow connectivity to only 1 device at a time (the learned address) and is not smart enough to allow for dynamic connections. You may wish to get a router to use instead.

Well first off, can you RDP via your current IP address? It also looks like their service works by a program running on the server that keeps in contact with this no-ip service, so that it knows your current IP to assign your domain to. Have you also tried an nslookup for your domain? I don't know how you would do this. The DNS is not kept on your server, it is kept on no-ip's name servers I imagine. Have you tried contacting them?

Just Done a memtest, and im getting failures every other second, so i'm assuming its the memory thats faulty. But it costs more me to replace the memory that what the server is worth, waste of a server really! Hmmm... let me put things together... memory needs to be in pairs... replacement memory costs more than the system... this sounds like my old computer! Which used first-gen RAMBUS where 2x1GB sticks cost about $700 last I checked! Its a little cheaper now I think as time goes on but I have already moved on away from that (except I still have that system) now my main PC uses DDR2.

That's because the OP has made an error. There is no 965GNT board, but there is a 945GNT: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D945GNT/

Tee hee, OP = Original Poster.

Haha this thread reminds me of when I went to college to learn to repair and maintain mainframes, oddly enough that ciriculum was dropped in the last semester of my schooling, so I learned a bunch of stuff I've never had to use before!

Well what you use is totally up to you. I just use DISM and imagex for everything, but I can't use some of the other tools like vLite or such because I use this at a business. I just learned to do it with DISM and it is what I know best.

I imagine you have already disabled the IE protection service? By default Server OS will not let you access the internet, however Windows Updates should work (outside of IE) and even so, IE will tell you that the protection is turned on if you try to go anywhere. This protection will also stop you from going to "internal pages" of hardware devices such as 3Ware or Routers.

You can try restarting the Wireless Zero Configuration service. However this may be disabled if you are using a program instead of Windows to manage your wireless. If this doesn't work, maybe try using the software for your NIC to do it instead.

The stop error was not consistent from the XP CD. Your suggestion unfortunatly of creating an image for each different peice of hardware would take me back 5 years of development . I currently have 1 single image supporting 12 different laptops from various manufacturers and over 20 desktop models. Your suggestion would mean I would be supporting nearly 30 different images instead of one. In a corporate environment this is resource suicide for someone managing images. I guess it depends on how you approach it. I currently manage well over 200 XP images without a problem. Its up to you in the end how you want to do it, If Windows 7 comes out for you soon, I agree going back and redoing your XP work will be a waste of time.
