- Windows XP Network >> stop autodial over networkI have a shared internet connection with 2 clients
sharing it from the host. Problem is the connection tries
to dialup about one every 5 minutes if i miss it i might
have a large phone bill. Ideally i would like it to only
dial up when i tell it to connect and not even when a
client opens internet explorer or outlook. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. P.S i have disabled a service
which is meant to stop this problem but it hasnt i think
it was remote connection manager or something like that.

- Windows XP >> Windows installer appears to failHi.
I'm running Windows Installer 3.1. Just recently, after using Windows
Update, I get the Windows Installer pop-up that says "Preparing to
install..." which stays for a few seconds, then just goes away without
completing. It doesn't say what it's trying to install. Naturally, while
it's there, almost all activity on my computer stops. I've checked the
Windows Update history, and it shows all updates installed successfully. This
seems to happen almost every time I go to launch an application. Is there a
way to find out what's trying to install, and either install it or cancel it?

- Windows XP Hardware >> adding hard drives to controller card in XPEvery time I try to add a hard drive in my multiboot
system, Windows XP goes nuts although 98 boots fine. I
have a Promise ATA card with one drive c: containing
windows 98 and numerous other partitions. The MB IDE has
a second hard drive D: which has the XP OS on one
partition. When i need to work on a third drive, no
matter where I put it, XP refuses to boot. I always need
to choose 98 which is inconvenient. Is there any easy way
around this without hand editing a bunch of substitute
boot files on the c: drive?

Windows XP >> Trying to copy XP to bigger Hard Drive
Have been unsuccesful the last two days trying to copy my 20 GB XP system to
a brand new 80GB HD. I have used the Mfg disk (Maxtor) to format and copy
to new disk. Format was OK, showed 81GB. Did the file copy but system does
not boot. NTLDR is missing error which prompts you to insert OS disk and
install. I want to avoid a new install and just copy existing system. I
then tried Disk Image 7.0, did the copy, same error NTLDR is missing. Disk
Image has a copy MBR selection which I did, same result. Back in the DOS
days you could format C: /s or do a Sys C: but I thought I should be able to
get past this. What am I missing here??? Tx Mike

Windows XP >> Trying to copy XP to bigger Hard Drive
Hi,
You can xfer files from your Hard drive to a bigger or
smaller drive using Maxtor Maxblast 3.
I do it many times to backup my data and I am using XP
Pro...but it works on all op systems because it xfers via
DOS.....
Anyway, take your new hard drive and install it as a
SLAVE. Note, a Slave only..... leave your existing Hard
drive with XP as the Master. Insert your CD-ROM in to the
cd drive and make sure you BIOS is set to boot to the CD-
rom first and not your hard drive.
Once you boot and the Maxblast 3 software does its
thing.... you need to select the option that says "set up
your hard drive"..... click on that icon. Next, select
your hard drive you want to set up.... being the SECONDARY
hard drive.....click on that.... then click next. YOu
will get to a point where it asks what op system you want
to use.... click on XP
You will get various warning messages as you go along....
the important part is when you get to the option that
says, SET UP NEW HARD DRIVE AS BOOT ? " Make sure you
select that option...... you will then be able to
partition the drive and make sure you set the type of
partition (ie FAT32)......
Once the partitions are set..... and you click Next.... it
will format the drive and begin coping files "from the
boot drive"...... after the transfer is done you will
have an exact copy that is bootable.
If you have more than one partition.... after the boot
partition and files are created...(ie disk2part01) "C"
just go back to the Maxtor Utilities and select "copy
partition"..... it will then bring you to a windows
showing both drive.....a source and destination. Select
what ever partition (ie disk1part2) on your source drive
(master) and then click on the destination (ie disk2part02)
on the Slave.... click Next and it will begin coping the
files....
I just finished doing this last night and today on my 160
GB hard drive......... pls note this was kinda quick/brief
info... you will see it as you go along.

After using disk image to clone the drive, are you swapping the drives or

Windows XP >> Trying to copy XP to bigger Hard Drive
Mike I had the exact same problem posted a few lines back up. I had
tried Drive Image 7, Partition Expert and one other. I finally dug out
my old copy of Norton Ghost 2002 and it worked like a charm. It is
difficult to make a true copy of Windoews while you're still running
Windows. With Ghost you boot from a floppy and do everything in PC-DOS
or MS-DOS, your choice, but it makes a copy of Windows while nothing
is active in the Windows program.

Thanks for your description, I have wasted hours trying to find out
how to write the MBR (aka boot sector), your post gave me the crucial
step of using the manufactuers set up procedure.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Help - Failing C: Drive, how to I transfer OS to new hard disk?Why is this not straightforward?....
I purchased a Packard Bell "imedia" PC from PC World UK in about 2002. AMD
1.3Ghz. 20Gb C: drive with Windows XP home edition (OEM I assume) (SP2) and
a 40Gb D: drive added by myself a couple of years ago.
Ok, the C: drive starts reporting bad sectors and is on the way out. So I
purchased a replacement hard drive (Same manufacturer WD) 80 Gb. Then comes
the problem of transferring the OS to the new drive.
I don't have the original OEM XP disks (thanks PC world).
The new drive was installed (as a slave on IDE 2), formatted and partitioned
(NTFS) and set as drive E:
I first tried using NTBackup to backup the C drive (to the D drive), then
restoring this to E: However, NT Backup did not seem to backup and restore
every file (It missed several in the Windows\System32\Config folder). But
some hacking about with the recovery console (from an XP Home CD, not OEM) I
got these transferred across.
When I swap cables and jumpers to replace the C: drive with the E: drive, I
can get XP to display the boot.ini menu, and it will start loading the OS
Kernel, HAL and boot services. But it gets to MUP.SYS and just halts.
Having read some chat on similar problems, it seems that I shouldn't blame
MUP.SYS, it might be the next thing that loads. Trouble is, even with the
/sos switch, nothing else is displayed. Have tried safe mode etc.
I don't know if this is because the new drive/partition is labelled as E: ?
Anybody got any suggestions short of reinstalling XP and all the Apps? I
could obtain an OEM disk if absolutely necessary, but I feel frustrated that
something as common as replacing a failing system disk should prove so
painful.
Before anyone suggests using a drive image application, the C: drive seems
to have a 2Mb "unknown" partition at the start - preventing any simple
partition copy from working. I assume this is part of some
PCWorld/OEM/Microsoft anti piracy thing. Which I'm all in favour of, until
it stops me legitimately rescuing my failing system
