- Windows XP >> LaCie USB External HD ProblemI recently purchased the above product, but when I try to format it in
NTFS on my desktop (Windows XP SP2) I get the error, "The operation
did not complete because the partition or volume is not enabled. To
enable the partition or volume, restart the computer." It still
doesn't work when I restart the computer. It DOES work on my wife's
laptop, so I know the drive works.
I found a thread in this group that may help if I was able to
communicate with either party but I have been unsuccessful:

Is anyone available to help me with my new external Hard drive?
It is a 235 GB external disk and after repeated tries to format and
partition it in Disk Manage to NTFS I keep getting the following
error
message: "The operation did not complete because the partition or
volume is
not enabled. To enable the
partition or volume restart the computer."
I restart and go back to disk manage and get the same message. The
drive is
visible in Disk Manage but as RAW not NTFS.
This operation was done on my home computer. On my office computer
the
partition/format on the disk works fine and I was even able to move
files on to the disks.
I would be very happy if someone would have any ideas?

Hi Himanshu. Yes the jumpers are set properly. The disk works on
other
computers and I can even move files onto it.
On my computer I cannot format and partition to NTFS. I keep getting
the
message "The operation did not complete because the partition or
volume is
not enabled. To enable the partition or volume restart the computer."
Any other ideas?

- Windows XP >> Empty Device Manager...Among other problems.
So on Tuesday I grudgingly decided to download and install WinXP's Service
Pack 2, after downloading a collection of updates; after SP2 was installed, I
then DLed some additional updates that appeared afterwards (I suppose they
were SP2-centric.)
Then the problems started. First I could no longer open Aol 9.0; it kept
stating that it had to install files necessary for connection, and that I may
or may not have to reboot afterwards. This was stuck in a loop - Agreeing to
let it install, and reboot, did nothing. Uninstalled, then reinstalled Aol a
number of times, even tried a previous version (8.0) to no avail. That's
about when I noticed that the 'My Networks' selection from the Start menu was
GONE. Under the Control Panel, I opened up Network Connections, and it was
completely EMPTY.
How odd, thought I.
Looking around on the 'net (I connect via cable modem, which thankfully
managed to be unscathed,) I found a solution (or so I thought) involving
corrupt adapers - OEM.inf files with 0 bytes in them. Went through that, so
that's no problem now. Tried again - Still nothing under Network
Connections, and Aol still gives me problems.
So, then I uninstalled SP2 entirely, grudgingly leaving the SP2-related
hotfixes alone (They whined that such-and-such programs wouldn't work, so I
left 'em there for now.) And this, did not help either. About this time, I
noticed my Device Manager under System Properties was EMPTY.
How unsettling, I thought.
Looking around the 'net further, I found a couple solutions - Make certain
Plug-n-Play was still active, for one. Checked that - It's set to Automatic,
and its status is Stated, so I surmise that is not the problem. Another one
involved Permissions - Again, this is not the problem either, as it's all set
up fine and there's nothing missing there. I also found the 'apropos'
malware suggestion... Followed the process to safe mode, installed the
program, Ran This.bat, and reboot back to Windows... Nada.
So, this leaves me to wondering... What the heck do I try now? Uninstalling
SP2's hotfixes? Go down the list of the other hotfixes, uninstalling one by
one 'til Device Manager returns and I can open Aol again? System Restore
seems to refuse to run, and I would -really- rather not create 8 restoration
discs so I can format the drive. Any help would be vastly appreciated!
- 14
- Windows XP >> Windows Media Player 9Whenever I try to open my media player I get the "An
internal application error has occured" message. (There
is no error number on the message) This started about a
week ago and I haven't been able to figure it out or find
any help yet. While surfing the net looking for help I
discovered that many others are having this exact same
problem. Some of these people were able to resolve their
problem by downloading windows script from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-
95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en . That didn't work for me.
Many of the others with this problem said they had a
virus, but I scan every day for viruses and haven't found
any viruses. I've tried system restore, uninstalling and
reinstalling WMP9, and everything else I could think of.
Any help would really be appreciated!!! My email is
above. Thanks.

Windows XP >> CD Writing to 95 from XP
Hi
Only experience I've had with unreadable CD (Homemade) is
with the age of the reading CD player. Most 8X or slower
cannot read the homemade CDR's.A non CD recorder cannot
read a CDRW period.
Hope this helps

What have you tried to write it with? If with XP's own burning or one
of the 'mastering' packages - Nero or Easy CD, then any failure to read
on a different machine (unless the CD Drive there is *extremely* old),
is a matter of media used. CD-R dyes vary and the burner has to burn
just enough to get maximum contrast between 'on and off' and then the
reader has to be set to see somewhere in the middle of the resulting
range as indicating the change over. So try different brands of CD-R.
CD-RW may be a different matter - a drive to read those has to be
'Multiread' capable and there is a good chance the drive on a Win95
machine is not.
But older machine will not read disks burned with the InCD or DirectCD
facilities - like a big floppy, on a CD-RW, unless there is a udfread
program installed.

- Windows XP Security >> Security help in XPI've deployed and upgraded my client's workstation to XP Pro. Its not

achieve the
following:
a) Create a folder that has many sub-folders, but no users (except for
Administrators)
to delete any file or folder
b) Users are allowed full access to printers, scanners, driver install, etc.
I use Power Users as the group for the users. I created the folder in a) and
limited the
deletion of files to Administrators only. However, I found out that by doing
so, the
user are not able to rename folders such as in the case when they create a
new sub-folder.
How do you overcome this?
I added Load and Unload drivers in the Local Security polices to include
Power Users.
But they are still unable to view installed printers/scanners. How do I
overcome this?
