- Windows XP Support >> can't install fax--file copy errorI had this file copy error before when I tried overinstalling xp and
everyone said it's a hardware problem. But then I reformatted and did a
clean install and everything was ok, and I could overinstall after that. So
it's apparently a software problem. I'm just giving this background info so
no one jumps to the conclusion that it's a hardware problem. Well, I tried
adding the fax software from Add/Remove Windows components and it prompted
for the disk. I put in the disk and it went to the i386 folder but gave a
file copy error. I extracted the files to my hard disk with Winzip but still
not able to copy. How do I figure what's causing it?

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows XP Licensing QuestionWhat's the big difference between the full versions at the top of this list,
and the OEM versions at the bottom:

I have a computer running Windows XP with a illegal Product Activation Code.
If I purchase a Windows XP OEM version, will the code with it always work
with my puter?
Or do I need to make sure it has an OEM version of XP installed first,
before ordering an OEM CD and license and it being not what I need?

- Windows XP >> Unable to create a Network Setup DiskThe Network Wizard gives me the following error message 'The wizard has
detected that this computer has no floppy disk drives or other removeable
media. You need such a device to create a Network setup Disk'
However I have recently installed a DVD/CD writer (Philips DVDR1648K/00) as
a slave to an existing DVD ROM which normally works fine. I've checked the
driver etc... If I view via 'My Computer' it states that a DVD-RW Drive is
installed, in properties it has a 'recording tab' although the 'hardware tab'
only lists the manufacturer as (Standard CD-ROM drives). If I cannot sort
this is there a way of creating a Disc without the Wizard ?

- Windows XP Network >> Home networkI have 4 computers using HPNA (home phone network adaptor) and a router.
I set up a home network (titled HOME) on all computers.I have 2 problems.
1. Everytime a computer is rebooted I have to re-set up the home network on
that computer. Why is it losing the network setup?
2. I seem to be unable to share one of the printers on the network - a
Canon Pixma ip4000. I went into printers and faxes and selected share
printer. But I cannot see this printer from any of the other computers. Any
ideas why I can not see this printer on the network?

- Windows XP >> XP hard diskHi
I need some info about cloning a XP hard disk.
I have a 9 GB HDD (Fujitsu) with XP Pro on it. I don't have original
installable/Key as I got the HDD from a friend when he upgraded his
PC.
After extensively using my PC (leaving it on for long durations for
batch runs etc), it seems the HDD is close to the end of its usable
life. It makes a strange grinding noise sometimes. I am afraid my all
phd work and thesis might be lost if this HDD crashes.
I have a spare 20GB HDD and plan to transfer everything from XP-HDD to
new one. Since I have installed many software programmes, I just wish
somehow if I can just clone the old XP HDD 'AS IT IS' to new HD drive.
Reinstalling everything will be a sure impossible task and I guess it
will require a lot of time. (plus I even don't have XP pro installable
cds)
Can it be done reliably? I looked at similar posts, but most of the
suggestions seem to be trial/not-sure-to-work type. Some comments say
Ghost works for win'98, some say it doesn't for XP.
I will highly appreciate any help, advice.
Thanks in advance

- Windows XP Support >> How to solve "Unlock Computer" problemI'm running 3 Windows XP Pro computers in a home/office environment. Two of
the systems (B and C) are in another area for the office so I usually access
them via Remote Desktop.
Occasionally one of these systems (computer B) will display a dialog box
with the title Unlock Computer. Inside the box it says "This computer is in
use and has been locked" It shows the user name and a blank window for the
PW which I must enter.
This only happens on this one computer. What's the cause and how do I
correct it? Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Note - I'm the only person using all computers.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Athlon 2500 + Processor & NF7-S V2.0 MBI have flashed my BIOS to newest version. I have made some adjustments in
BIOS to CPU to get rid of RAM errors etc.
I just downloaded an update for SATA from MS for my RAID controller. There
is also an update for processor AMD K7 that I have not yet loaded. I do
have Athlon 2500 + and in RAID BIOS utility the BIOS & CPU are listed as
unknown.
Does the AMD K7 processor update apply to my Athlon 2500 + Barton?
Also I noticed that whey I restart XP Professional the general system
properties screen says Athlon (tm) XP--when I shut down the PC completely &
then boot back into XP the same screen will sometimes show only Athlon (tm)
without the XP? This is one reason why I was wondering if I needed the
update for the processor.
Any info would really be appreciated!

- Windows XP Setup >> Backup is way too hugeHey Guys,
I have a external HD of 80G. Less than 10G is being utilized. When I try to
back it up, it tells me that the backup is too big for the volume. What is
making it so huge?
When I backup my C drive - 24G in a 60G HD - I get the same message. It says
the backup is 48+G, which it cannot handle. I'm sure I'm doing something
wrong but can't seem to figure out what it is.
Thaks for any help

- Windows XP Support >> Outlook Express Wizard, or Manual Transfer?Has anyone used this, and any comments?:
http://www.outlook-express-backup.com/index.html
I sort of hate to use something (if only once) that I am not going to buy
for continued use.
Or, should I go here?
http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/backup/clone.htm
I'm doing a clean install (repartition, etc.) of XPHome from Dell's
reinstall CD on my laptop. My OE has only one identity. If I use the
instructions at insideoutlookexpress, I would make the backup on the
laptop's drive, and then copy to a USB external drive, wipe the laptop
drive, reinstall XP on the laptop drive, and then move the outlook
express backup back from the USB external drive to the laptop.
In the past, I've just saved out (exported) the dbx and address book,
then moved back to the reinstalled Outlook Express on the laptop.
I'm doing this for my daughter, and I don't want to mess up.
Thanks,
Bruce

- Windows XP Security >> Similar to User Accounts Post below.I have a similar issue to rocknroll's post from 3-9. We purchased a cheaper
computer for our 5 year old son that included XP Home edition. He somehow
got into the controll pannel and assigned a password to the XP Welcome screen
and has no idea what he entered in there. I am trying to get by the password
screen.
I have tried to get to the safe mode but for some reason the F8 key does not
work during the boot sequence. I have tried to restore the machine to a
previous date but the F11 key does not work. I had to replace the standard
connection keyboard with a USB keyboard because there is an issue with the
standard keyboard port.
This machine has very little data on it and I would be willing to reinstall
all the programs in order to get by the welcome screen. Any help would be
appreciated.

How can I do this? I run through the XP "new install"

files/folders left over from my previous Win98
installation. I want to completely erase everything from
this drive so I have a fresh starting point for XP.
I don't know how to reformat a drive?
If I do, will my CD drive recognize the XP disk or do I
need to worry about copying CD drivers?
