- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Upgrading HDDHi there,
I wish to replace my 40GB Seagate HDD with a 120 GB HDD.
The operating system that Iam currently using is XP Pro.
1) Is there a way I can transfer everything (copy) from
my existing HDD to the new one, without having to re-
install Windows XP?
2) Will I need to reactivate Windows XP in that case?
3) In the vent I reinstall Windows XP in a new HDD will I
have any problems in reactivation? What information
should i provide the MIcrosoft Assistance team.
Would appreciate prompt assistance in this matter
Thanks

available for POP3 eMail filtering.
What I am missing are comparisons resp. tests between all these Anti-Spam tools.
What are the detection rates for a set of lets say 10000 typical eMails ?
How much is the percentage of false positives (=non-spam eMails which are classifed as spam)
Does someone know such a comparison web page ?

- Windows XP Support >> Icons Gone!Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum.
I did a quick search for my problem but couldn't find anything in
previous threads.
Basically, the icons for "My Computer", "My Documents" and "My Network
Places" have been replaced by the generic Windows "Unknown File" icon,
and I don't know why. I've run a virus scanner (F-Secure) with the
lastest definitions installed and it came up blank. I've not noticed
any other problems.
If anyone knows how I can get my icons back, it'd be much appreciated.

Windows XP >> Goback 3.0
I have read in many reviews for Goback 3.0 that it permits installation onto
several hard drives on one computer. I have tried many times to reinstall
Goback in the hope it will allow me to protect the extra hard drive I have
installed although at no time during the custom install does it prompt me
for protection of the second drive. Could anyone confirm that Goback 3.0 is
able to protect multiple drives in Win XP, or suggest any ways that I might
be able to fix this problem?
Many thanks

Windows XP >> Goback 3.0
I have 4 hard drives in my main computer. When I was experimenting with
GoBack 3.0, all of my drives were protected.

Windows XP >> Goback 3.0
In my experience GoBack will protect all drives it sees and has no option to
disable protection for specific drives like XP's System Restore has.

Windows XP >> Goback 3.0
Maybe it already is protecting your extra drive. Change a file there and
then, using GoBack, click on Recover Files and see if the file you changed
on your extra drive is listed there. Click on the date column so that the
most recent file changes are listed at the top.

When installing each time it produces a "summary of drives protected by
Goback" which only shows the one drive, my main C: and it will not protect
the NTFS F:.
Thinking about it now and what t.cruise said, it is compressed using the
"compress drive to save disk space" feature available on NTFS drives. Could
this be causing the problem?
Many thanks

- Windows XP Hardware >> mainboard queryHi,
My PC has died on me, and I only bought it a few months ago. I was getting
long single beeps and tried to test the RAM , but I think I've compounded
the problem now. I bent a capacitor with too much force and also the battery
doesn't fit back into place securely anymore. Now the fan and drives fire up
but no video. (FIC P4M-800T motherboard)
My question, if I want a good quality motherboard to replace my old and
possibly rebuild this thing from its partsh . What should I be looking for?
I have a P4 chip with HT and I plan to use my ATI graphics card . I will
probably need to replace my memory too with
Or is there a possibility that my motherboard can still be fixed and how?

Firewall would not start. Then i read the error message it gave me: We're
sorry. The Security Center could not turn on Windows Firewall. To try turning
on the firwall yourself, go to Windows Firewall in Control Panel. In the
Windows Firewall dialog General tab, select On (recommended) and click OK.
But the problem is when i try to do this it gives me a new message that says:
Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service
is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Conection
Sharing (ICS) service? When i click yes it says: Windows cannot start the
Windows Firewall/Internet Conection Sharing (ICS) service. So then i even
went into Adminstrative Tools and then looked at the Services. Whenever i
found the Windows Firewall/Internet Conection Sharing (ICS) service I tried
to start it and it said in yet another message: Could not start the Windows
