Dig in and have fun. Welcome to MSFN X[a]ViEr^

Been looking around with no success. Did run across a nice utility that does it all for W2K and XP. Should work with W2K3 and XP unless the kernel has a different name and location. Have a look see at this: BootIt Next Generation What do you think?

Office 2003 Add-in: Office Web Components Microsoft Office Web Components are a collection of Component Object Model (COM) controls for publishing spreadsheets, charts, and databases to the Web.

LMAO @ hand gestures. My wife says I do that all the time even though I do not realize it, lol.

PornLoader, nah not really. I was waiting for that to come up. That would apply to older hard dries like 5400 rpm, ata 33 (even 66), Non-ATAPI CD drives, but todays newer 7200 rpm drives on a FSB 100 or 133 running ATAPI CD drives won't make a big difference anymore. But you are right about it if all the hardware met those exact specifications.

Howdy

- begin comment. This from the publisher's web site site about the menu: DVD-CLONER can copy the MENU of the DVD movie with perfect quality and it supports most DVD BURNER brands that you might find on market. The trial version will only copy 1/5 of the DVD. The full version has no restrictions. - end comment. I use DVDXCopyXpress 2.1 and it does 9 out of ten DVDs without fail. The platinum edition is supposed to do menus, but my friends who use it often turn-out broken backups. Somewhere along the line the DVD freezes most of the time. To get around the menu problem I use SmartRipper, DVD Shrink, and Nero 6. No menus, but a working backup of the movie everytime. It would be nice to test DVD-Cloner, but not possible with a trail version. The full/registered is $59.99. Yikes! Has anyone used this yet? Sounds promising. Thanks Smivy

Like this: HD 0 Primary Master on IDE 0 CD-RW Secondary Master on IDE 0 HD 1 Primary Slave on IDE 1 CD-RW Secondary Slave on IDE 1 Cable 1: Now you have the Boot Hard Drive ( HD 0 Primary Master) and the CD-RW (Secondary Master) on the same cable. Cable 2: Now you have HD 1 Primary Slave and the CD-RW Secondary Slave on the same cable. So, when you transfer data from HD to HD the data is not transfered on the same cable. Also, when transfering data from CD to CD the data is not transfered on the same cable. This configuration is bottleneck free. Keep in mind the physical location of all devices when transfering data from one device to the other and the end result is a smooth data transfer. Also, elimnates the swap file thrashing while the Windows Operating System on the primary master Hard Drive is executing the commands. All of my PCs at work and home supporting one floppy drive, two hard drives, and two CD drives are configured in this manner. This is pretty much an industry standard. The second hard drive in most systems is used for an extra storage drive. In some cases it is used as a web server. Say you plan to store your files on the second hard drive and burn them to CD frequently. It makes logical sense to burn from a drive that does not contain the Operating System to a CD Drive on a seperate cable. You will achieve constant data throughput meaning fewer buffer underuns and fewer coasters. This will also be the solution to those who us Nero In-CD that have been experiencing problems with packet writing. Edit. Some people refer to IDE Channels as 1 nd 2 vs 0 and 1. Yes, in large towers you will need one or two longer cables, 32 in works fine in most cases, excuse the pun. Look ahead and you will see that if you replace the IDE boot drive (Primary Master) with a SCSI Hard Drive on a SCSI Bus that you have more ways to configure your drives.

Glad we could help. Welcome to MSFN

Like Tinker suggested. HD to HD on separate IDE channels when moving files from HD to HD as this streams the data without congestion on one cable. This configuration will also allow you to make one-to-one CD images because the CD Drives are on seperate cables, again without congestion. The idea is to create a bottleneck free system.

Sometimes you have to be disconnected from the internet for that to work to include shut down all programs that are accessing OE like an anti-virus application. Try it in safe mode.

Happy B'Day my friend. Man your catching up with me. Make you feel old

front page looks interesting. will have to check it out later.

All good. You guys are really good at this stuff. One of my fav threads.

Try disabling Norton AV so that it does not load when you cold boot the server and if that solves the problem then it is the old problem with NAV and the IP addresses. In that case you will have to re-assign the addresses.
