Switch AHCI to IDE
fix_hdc should work: http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=20464 I think it's in ubcd4win, which might be easier than building your own bartpe and maybe integrating mass storage drivers: http://www.ubcd4win.com/

Connect one router to another and still see devices.
What are the IP addresses and netmasks? If B is doing NAT but C has a routable address then you might be able to connect to it, but if A is doing NAT then you're probably out of luck...

Nasty Virus Help
If you don't have a win pe / bartpe disk, you could try autoruns and process explorer - some malware prevents these running based on their filename, so try renaming them if they fail to launch. Good luck!

Are MS Updates for XP really necessary?
It depends on how clever your nat router is - some will know to open related ports, but with consumer grade kit you usually have to open ports for torrents and xbox etc, if not using uPnP. Please do link to the win8 pdf - I'd like to know what /GS is. Cheers

Onboard LAN powered when PC is shutdown
There could be wake-on-lan options in the network card driver, or in the bios. Sometimes they get creative with the descriptions, like PME (Power Management Events) or "deep sleep". Or there is always the wall switch...

ping and reply network problem
How would link aggregation help? If you have managed switches then you could look at the error rates, otherwise I'd try to isolate which switches / host nics / cables are involved, and try replacing them.

Disable file locking
That's not a goal. Are you trying to back up locked files, or just experimenting with corruption?

Hard Disk Cloning/Imaging from inside Windows
If you allow yourself to use freeware third party tools, then you can make a bootable copy of a running OS from xp onwards: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adioltean/archive/2006/09/18/761515.aspx This doesn't handle junctions though, one day I'll try strarc instead of robocopy. I have boxes that copy themselves to iscsi lvm partitions, then in a disaster I can boot the copies in kvm.

Strange problem with FirstLogonCommand from Shared Network Folder
Its not losing the network access. I have already tried that with linking the network shared and then do a sleep for x seconds. But that doesnt make any difference. Something like this, after running dpinst? :check if not exist %~dp0nul ping -n 1 127.0.0.1 & goto :check Alternatively, you could try copying anything you need from z: to %temp% before running dpinst, because I still reckon that's bouncing your network.

Multi user sql server and visual studio application
A source control package will only help you share access to source code - if GNS3.exe is a third party app with no source, you're out of luck.

Strange problem with FirstLogonCommand from Shared Network Folder
Is it losing network access temporarily? You could test for e.g. if exist z:\nul then sleep for a few seconds and retry. I guess if dpinst swaps your network drivers then that would take it down for a bit.

Outlook/Outlook Express - most receivable format
Thunderbird can send both html and plain text in the same email, which would probably suit everyone. If you send your text in a jpg, they will almost certainly smell spiced pork and ham.
