Nevermind... I found it in the BIOS.... I did try memtestx86 earlier and it was saying the timing was 1-1-1-31... But the BIOS showed more reasonable timings...

That's not really an "upgrade" now is it?

I will definately take a look at those two possibilities once I can get approval to start working on it again. Does memory timing have any effect on the image at all? And if so, is there any documentation or editorial anywhere online I can find to view its effectiveness/non-effectiveness?

Is there any programs out there that can run in Windows that will show the timing of the RAM in ns? We have a few models that aren't listed online yet that we use, so I can't get this information.

I've been having problems with my DVD drive recently. Its a Lite-ON ATAPI 16x +/- DVD-RW Dual layer drive. Suddenly, here is what it is doing: 1. Sees burned DVD-Rs as blank (such as my OPK 1.1 DVD). 2. Sees retail movie DVDs as blank* 3. Is able to read and launch PC CD-ROM game NHL06. 4. Is able to read and launch PC DVD-ROM PCGamer DVD from Zombies issue. 5. There are 3 region changes left, currently on Region 1. PC info: XP Pro VL *movies tested: Total Recall, Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life, Transformers Season 1 Disc 1. All three play in PS2. The region changes were caused previously because I have some Region 2 Transformers DVDs I watched a year ago or so. Also, this drive has already started exhibiting the "Eject of doom" issue that Lite-On drives seem to have. For example, my computer at work has a similar Lite-On drive, and it never ejects unless I use the paperclip. It has no problem reading discs. All Discs work in other players, like the PS2 or my work computer. I haven't bothered cleaning the drive because it can read other discs just fine. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

You could switch up to XP 64bit to see that extra RAM, or use WIndows Home Server.

Do you mean the box re-checks itself and you see it doing that, or that you make the change but when you go to a folder you can't see any hidden files? Are you using XP Pro or Home, and also are you on a domain or was the machine previously on a domain, or are you logging in locally?

You can at least create an EFI partition with the PE, but I'm not sure on how it all works together. Maybe this article will give you some ideas. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883390

A debate seems to have come up at my company regarding how we can't use images any longer (with Ghost) because of the different HALs in a system configuration. It seems we have gotten official word from our tech rep at Microsoft about this issue. However, this is in contrast with what is in KB309283: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309283 Which says that if ACPI is enabled, XP will automatically detect the correct HAL. But if it ends up being true that we cannot use images any longer to deploy our machines using Ghost, then I do not see where there is a difference between that and using the WDS and WinPE. With exception of Vista, you have to capture an existing XP image as a WIM, which basically makes it the same process as Ghost. Someone tell if I am wrong or there is another way.

Don't rule out your CD drive also. Do you still need a LAN driver?

I've never tried using that part of the software before. I recommend you contact Nero support. I also looked and I just kept finding your cross-posts for the most part. The help file doesn't help much. I've had good results with Nero support, perhaps they can help you out.

Are you using anything that can push an app to a client, like SMS or Altiris? Does your clients use a login script?

SOrry. Please list what you have tried so that finding a solution may be easier.

Yes, maybe search the forums? http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.msf...WzgGjzhOLjQDrTg

OK that page has the following steps: 1. Remove previous flash player versions. So check your add/remove programs. Oh try this link to the ZIP to install it. http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/t...r_9_ActiveX.zip Here's the page with the instructions. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewConten...6&sliceId=2

I think the reason why it is difficult to find license information regarding virtualized XP is because it wasn't part of the EULA. There are 2 things I have been able to determine: 1. You can use XP Pro on a VM if that XP is not running on the host or another PC. In other words, the CD Key for that copy of XP cannot be in use on any other machine or VHD. This idea is covered in the Transfer Rights portion of the XP EULA. 2. You can use XP Pro (or 2000 Workstation but not both) on a VM hosted by Vista Enterprise, as this is covered under Vista's downgrade-rights initiative.

There are different stop dates for different distros of XP, which is why you are seeing multiple dates. I don't have a list of them but the different versions are OEM, Retail, Volume License, etc. You'll still be able to buy XP in stores (retail version) after the final day because that day is sale date. So stores may still have copies floating around to get. Oh also, you should be able to get the Vista downgrade-rights XP for a little while to come also. edit: typo

I've seen this a couple times but it has been cured by a reboot. if that fails, turn off the automatic updates. It should stop it from trying to update.

Its possible to have options in the boot menu for operating systems that are not present on the system. My computer gives me to option to boot into Server 2003 Enterprise, but its not installed anymore so it wouldn't load. So you did an upgrade installation of Vista? Did you select the option to keep the existing Windows when you installed Vista? If you didn't, or don't see an additional Windows folder in the C drive, then you won't be able to do it.

Some of those are marked as protected system files, so you may have to use the attrib program to unprotect them before moving/replacing.

"Can't play" is not enough information. Post errors or behaviours.

Try adding adobe.com to the trusted sites list in the Internet Options. What is the error you get?

So far this isn't cloning properly because I am still doing something wrong. I just dropped the source image again (with ghost) and checked everything with diskpart. The second partition is listed as OEM type, but I can't find anything online to say how to create an OEM part with diskpart. List part results: PART # - TYPE - SIZE - OFFSET Part 1 - Primary - 61GB - 32KB Part 2 - OEM - 14GB - 61GB List vol results: VOL# - Ltr - FS - TYPE - SIZE - Status - Info 0 - C - NTFS - Partition - 61GB - Healthy - 1 - - FAT32 - Partition - 14GB - Healthy - hidden Detail Part 1 Type: 07 Hidden: no Active: Yes Detail Part 2 Type: 12 Hidden: yes Active: no Where can I find info to create a partition with the OEM type? Using the Extended and Logical partitions aren't going to work after all.
