- Windows XP >> Does the 300GB segate harddisk work on Dell Poweredge 400sc?Hi all,
Thanks a lot for many of your expert suggestions and excellent advice(please
refer to my previous posts and your kind replies).
Just before I start, I have a question about the 300GB segate harddisk, will
it work on Dell Poweredge 400sc, which is a PC bought a few years ago and I
think it's quite old?
I am currently installing a USB converter on it, so I can use it as an
external drive. I attach my plan of attack below:
I haven't started yet. I guess I will be able to format it when using it via
USB as external drive.
But then later I will need to use it to replace the current primary drive,
and serve as new C drive, and then reboot,
Will it have any troubles, according to my plan below?
Thanks a lot!
------------------------------------------
JCO and everybody,
Bad news! I've just looked at my partitions, C(OS) and D(Program Files) are
unfornately on the same harddrive. Even if I combine them into a new C
partition, it doesn't gain me anything, because both of these two partitions
are currently fully loaded. An estimate of the free space after combining is
about 50MB out of a total space of approximately 38GB.
Originally, I planned that if C, E, F are on the same harddisk, I can remove
the data files on E and F, so after combining the partitions, all the 38GB
will be for OS, so it will have a lot free space.
Now, since C and D are on the same harddisk, I cannot remove those program
files. So there is no gain.
Now I am planning to do the following:
1. Attach my new 300GB harddisk as a USB external drive to the PC;
2. Create three partition on 300GB harddisk, call them C1, D1, E1, for OS,
Program Files and Data, respectively(Please note that I have to keep the
Program Files on D, since otherwise I will screw up many applications). I am
thinking of making C1 to be 30GB (vs. the original 11GB), D1 to be 70GB(vs.
the original 27GB), and allocating the remaining space to E1 (for data);
3. Duplicate the content on C precisely and exactly onto C1;
4. Duplicate the content on D precisely and exactly onto D1;
5. Without rebooting, change the letter of C to be C2, and change the letter
of C1 to C, hence finish the swap;
6. Without rebooting, change the letter of D to be D2, and change the letter
of D1 to D, hence finish the swap;
7. Shutdown the PC. Remove that harddisk(of C and D) physically, and use the
300GB harddisk as a replacement of that very harddisk;
8. Reboot back. (Since I made exact copy of C and D partitions onto the
300GB harddisk, I should be able to successfully reboot the system).
9. The remaining are just housekeep task. I am done with joys, not with
tears!
Are the above procedures well-thought and fail-proof?
I am not sure about steps 3 and 4: C and C1 have different sizes, which
software will allow me to do an exact duplicate for partitions with
different sizes? Without having used PM, Ghost,Acronis, etc. before, I am a
little bit hesitant.
Could the experts here confirm my plan and so I will be able to jump-start?
Thanks a lot and have a great weekend!

- Windows XP Hardware >> COMM port not shutting downWin XP Home SP 1 Dell inspiron I5100 2.66G 512 M BCM V.92 56K Modem
Thank you for taking a moment to help me ... I think this question should be
an easy one .. :)
While online, dial-up, the modem or connection goes offline. Then in an
attempt to re-connect, I get the error that the port is in use .. this never
goes away, regardless of how many times I try or periods of 'wait' I provide.
Windows Troubleshooter wanted me to check the settings for PORTS under
Device Manager, but I do not have such a setting there.
How do I reset that port without having to restart the machine, or can I?
If I cannot, what are the likley causes of this so I can try to fix and or
prevent it?
Thank you.

- Windows XP Support >> iis 5.1Hi,
I am trying to set up an intranet using iis 5.1 (xp sp2) on a workgroup. If
i set the default site to anonymous access I can view the site from other
peers in the workgroup. The problem I am having is that I cant set up Windows
Authenticated Access. If I enable windows integrated access on the site and
the try to access it from another machine I get a logon input box, but no
mater which username and password I try to logon with, I get a 401.3 error
"you are not authorized to view this page".
I believe it could be a problem with the local security settings and user
accounts on the machine hosting the web service.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Network >> System hang with networkingHi,
I'm having a few users experiencing an error when opening a file in any
program (i.e. office) via the File > Open menu route. If the network is
connected/ *not* disabled, randomly the system will "hang". It will recover
after about a minute, but does not respond to user interaction during this
time. If the system is disconnected from the network or the connection
*disabled* this does not happen at all.
The machines are fresh installs of XP Pro and older installs alike. There's
no pattern other than the time involved during the hang (seems to be the
same). They are connected to a W2k domain and have two to four mapped
shares(drives) to the same box. They also are all connected to the same
printer via a queue.
I'm pondering a reinstall of the domain controller, but I'm not sure thats
the reason and am trying to rule out hardware. Actual net access otherwise
never fails. Just seems to be this file open issue.

- Windows XP Setup >> Downloading updates from NetI'm new to this email list and have just bought a new
computer with XP.
When I try to update using Windows Update and going to the
Net, all works well until I come to the license
agreement. At this point, I read the agreement, as much
as any of us does! <VBG>, and it asks me if I agree, but
there is no place to answer...no place to click, nothing.
I just close the window and it tells me I can't install as
I didn't agree to the license info.
There is nothing cruically required of me to update, but I
wanted to add something for the MVP 9.
Is there something I'm missing here? (BTW, I didn't set
up the computer and have very, very little knowledge of
how it all works, so please be very percise, if you can)
Thanks so much for any help...

- Windows XP >> XP reference book recommendationsI am looking for a reference book for windows XP. I am reasonably
knowledgeable on windows but the security aspect of XP has me a little
buffaloed. I would like a book that will explain what each setting does and
how security works. Essentially, however I am using XP Pro at home, and what
I want to do is set things up so everyone can use the computer but they have
to go through me (administrator) to install software. Open to all
suggestions. I am in Canada if that makes a difference.
Please not this is cross-posted for maximum coverage.

that didn't work, either. I went to the EA (game manufacturer) website to
see if there was something I did wrong. I had to do a manual delete from the
registry. Now when I try it, I get nothing. The Install Wizard starts up,
but then nothing happens. Once I got a "catastrophic failure" message. I
tried loading other games from different developers and got "Setup is unable
to run a program needed to proceed with the installation. Restart your
system and try again. Error 105" I have no idea as what to do. I tried
restoring to a previous state, but that didn't work. I thought it might be
the DVD/CD drive, but it reads other cds with Emails, pictures, etc. I don't
think it is gaming related, rather something I may have done during the
removal of the MOHAA series that messed up the registry or removed a program
from XP associated with the Install Wizard.
