- Windows XP >> XP doesn't find hard driveHello-
I used Drive Image 7 to copy the computer's hard drive to
a new drive. The data appears to have transferred
properly. Both drives (master & slave)show the same files
and folders in Explorer). I then remove the original
(master) drive , set the new drive to master and reboot.
The drive is reported correctly in the system's BIOS. But
after the Dell splash screen, I get the message that it
can't find a drive.
I put in the XP Pro CD and booted from it to the Recovery
Console. I ran CHKDSK and the drive was found and had no
errors. I then entered FIXMBR and it successfully wrote
the boot record. I tried FIXBOOT and received the message
that a drive could not be found. I'm stumped. Any
suggestions are most welcome. Thank you.

- Windows XP Security >> Auto Defrag ScriptI am looking for a way to incorporate an auto defrag into the shutdown/logoff
via group policy. The command line is:
defrag c: -f
(forces defrag of C:\)
My problem is that when I reboot or logoff, it takes forever. Now this is
not a problem at the end of the day, but during the day I can't have it.
Is there a way to have the cmd window appear when the script runs so that I
can just close it out if I don't want it to run?

- Windows XP >> How to Add ShortCut Icon to System TrayCould you please advise me to how to Add a shortcut icon to system tray
(notification area), just near the time watch display.
I found some third party software to do this, but the condition of the third
party software is that the software must be there, if we remove their
software it will not view that shortcut icon in the system tray.
My requirement is that is there any coding method OR some set up changing
method in windows XP, so that I will be able to do so.
Please advise .

- Windows XP Support >> Problem playing DVD with wmp11I have a dual boot system with Windows XP and Vista Home Premium, both
systems fully updated.
Commercial dvds will not play correctly with wmp11 on the XP system (colours
are incorrect) but does play properly on the XP system. Audio files play
fine with both systems. The hardware is the same for both systems.
My feeling is that the codec on the XP system is not working correctly. How
can I check it and, if necessary, replace it?

These tips should help:
1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection
Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a
direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all
other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:
Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/ic_firewall.
htm
2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If
the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer
Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:
Windows XP Network Protocols
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_prot
ocols.htm
3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all
computers.

Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)

- Windows XP Update >> That infamous KB936357 update for Intel chipsI haven't had any problems except perhaps an increase in red alerts in my
Event Viewer from 1 or 2 to 4 or 5/day, but that could be other factors.
My concern is that I allowed it in to both my XP Pros and my Vista Ultimate
(I triple boot) and I have a mere Pentium 4 HT @ 3ghz...not a Core-2 Duo
etc. etc.
Should I uninstall it or leave it?
The wording of the KB is nebulous saying Intel processors, particularly
Core-2 Duo. so should I be concerned or not?

- Windows XP Setup >> Ghosting Thinkpads with hidden partitionHello,
We are moving to ThinkPads and I have started playing with imaging
them. I am unable to create an image that takes the hidden partition
and adds it to the image.
When I restore the image on the same laptop, the hidden parition

Does anybody have any experience ghosting thinkpads so that the hidden
parition and the windows partition and copied to the image and when
restored, both paritions are restored?
Thanks

- Windows XP Setup >> problem with DSL and dial up modem after RegeditI spent almost 90 minutes trying to help a friend solve a computer
problem. The friend has two computers, a desktop and a notebook. They
swap a DSL direct connection by plugging and unplugging the cord to the
DSL modem. The problem is that the desktop no longer can access DSL,
or dial out with its 56k modem. The friend suspects that an improper
usage of Regedit when certain lines flagged by the antivirus program
were deleted instead of modified. Unfortunately, no backup export of
the Registry was made.
I did a cursory search for troubleshooting modems on the Internet. The
home computer was working fine one day, and then the next it was not.
So far the only symptoms are problems with the modem and DSL. The
device driver is there. Running a modem test from the Device manager
shows it there. Yet, it can not do something so simple as dialing out
using the phone dialer in the accessories folder, much less dialing up
for Internet. The error message is no dial tone. If wait for dial
tone is disabled, the modem looks like it keeps trying to dial out, but
I don't think it is doing so. (The sound is turned off.)
It may be a hardware problem, but modems rarely fail just for nothing.
There are no cats or pets to dislodge the wiring. Also the DSL modem
works fine for the notebook, but not at all for the desktop, so there
is definitely something up with the desktop. Thanks for any
suggestions. I am tempted to go for the panic button and do a fresh
install of Windows, but there must be intermediate solutions to try
before the scorched earth solution. I will do more research, but I may
be in over my head.

- Windows XP Support >> Volume controlsI just got a new PC with XP, Media Center Edition, and (ironically) I'm
having some issues with the volume control. When I go to the main
screen for it, the INput Monitor is grey and can't be controlled. I
notice that I have to choose to show either Playback or Recording, I
can't seem to have it show both sets of controls at once. Is there a
way around this?
