- Windows XP >> convert to NTFSSomeone else built the pc and installed xp pro then handed it over to me to
continue the set up. I installed 2 programs, some data files copied from
backup. Internet dialup setup. Many setting have been tweaked. As: services
deactivated, view settings, adm and user groups.
Then I noticed that it is FAT32, not NTFS. I want NTFS. I read help about
converting, and it said that this could be done after the os is installed.
Kinda sounded like directly after, without actually saying that.
1-Can I convert to FTFS now with out messing with everything that I have
already done??
2-if yes, what are these command line convert arguments for??
/V is for Verbose mode, what is that??
/CutArea:filename specifies contiguous file in root dir place holder for
NTFS sys files, what is this??
/NoSecurity specifies the converted files and dirs security settings for
everyone, what is this??
/X forces volume dismount first if needed. All opened handles to volume
would be invalid, what is this??
Note that all these parameters are optional.
thanks much,
Paul

- Windows XP Hardware >> Duplicate USB Floppy Drive LetterI recently purchased a Imation USB 3.5 Floppy Drive.
After rebooting, Win XP assignes a duplicate Drive
letter "A". If you use the Win XP Icon to remove
hardware, when you plug the drive back in, it either
fixes the problem or creates a driver letter "B".

- Windows XP >> Windows startup problemHi Guys,
I'll get straight into it:
System - Athlon AMD64, Windows XP, service pack 2
Background:
I was away at work one day when my dad recently installed a new DVD burner
on my PC. After installation he was having problems with burning DVDs so he
jumped on the net and downloaded a trial version of Nero 8 and installed it
as he believed our version of Nero (v6) wasn't compatible. The computer was
still working fine at this stage. I don't know which site he used to download
Nero 8 and he doesn't remember either. But after he installed it i noticed
that my PC was running slowly. I remarked on that and was concerned that he
may have downloaded a corrupted / compromised version of Nero 8. I ran AVG
Anti-virus scan which turned up some results which were cleaned up fine. I
then installed a new version of SpyBot and also a new version of Ad-Aware
2007 (both downloaded from www.cnet.com). During the setup of SpyBot it asked
me if i wanted to create a new system backup. I said yes. During the
installation of Ad-Aware it asked me to make an edit to my registry which i
declined. I installed and ran Spybot with no problems and it cleaned up any
issues i had. I then tried to run Ad-Aware which kept stalling when it came
time to check cookies. I thought it may have been because i hadn't rebooted
since installation so i rebooted. Upon reboot i was again asked to make an
edit to my system registry. This time i clicked Ok. Things were still working
fine on my PC at this stage though Ad-Aware was still freezing mid-scan. I
searched for a solution on the web and found some users on a forum who
recommended going to settings and turning off the option to scan for cookies
and MRUs. I did that and started scanning and things appeared to be running
fine.
Problem:
A little while after that i got an error message that a file in MSN
Messenger was corrupted and that i should run chkdsk. I also got the same
error message from iTunes. I decided to reboot rather than run chkdsk as i
thought this might solve the problem. I rebooted but found myself at a screen
after startup saying my PC had experienced problems and Windows had not been
shutdown properly etc and gave me a variety of options for loading my OS:
safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last
known good configuration, start windows normally. I've tried every single one
of those options and each time my PC keeps rebooting never even reaching
Windows. I searched for a solution on the web and found someone suggesting
that i hit F8 during startup and choose from the various options there. I've
tried that and tried every option available and it still keeps rebooting.
This is extremely frustrating and i'm at my wit's end trying to fix it
particularly as i have several important professional and personal documents
on that PC which are not backed-up -- many of them with sentimental
importance.
I'd really appreciate any help i can get.

- Windows XP Hardware >> Free program to resize partitionI have a 250GB hard disk (232GB to be accurate) with a 38.16GB partition
containing Windows XP and an empty partition of 194.7 GB. I would like to
install Windows 2000 on the other partition but would also like to increase
the Windows XP's partition to 200GB without losing my data and install
Windows 2000 on the remaining 32 GB. I know of programs like Norton
Partition Magic and Acronis Disk Director but I do not want to pay for the
software for using it only one time. Is there any free program that can be
used and recommended a usable and functional trial would also be fine.

- Windows XP >> dpvsetup error when running voice setupi found an old article that has the exact problem i'm
having but it just states to turn up the hardware
excelleration for the voice output. I can't go any
higher. Upon reinstalling windows xp pro it fixed the
problem. Then i downloaded all the service packs and
such and not AGAIN i have the same problem. I always get
error code 80004005 after the message. It has disabled
my mic with voice programs and i do not wish to reinstall
xp again because i do not know which update breaks it for
me. I have tried several sound cards but that doesn't
seem to be the problem, cause i get the same error no
matter what i'm using. Any ideas?
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> XP Pro driversI have a sony Mavica dig camera, i can download pictures on my laptop that is
using XP home, but not on tower that is using XP Pro. The camera seems to
start connecting and is given a drive letter, however if I select that drive
I get the message "G:\ is not accessible -- incorect function". When the
camera is connected both XP Pro and XP home list 6 commonn drivers. XP Home
but not XP Pro, list dvmcdb.sys, pwd_2k.sys. XP pro but not XP home lists
InCDPass.sys and InCDRm.sys. Should I copy the drivers used by XP Home over
to the XP Pro?? Or is there a setting in XP Pro I need to change?? The
install software for the dig camera is incompatable with XP so the downloaded
drivers came from microsoft.

Can someone please explain to me exactly how to stop my log on screen from

very irritating!
Thanks and much appreciated.

- Windows XP Update >> WindowsXP fails to start after Automatic UpdateIn the afternoon of 2006-04-13 the download manager installed new updates. I
delayed the restart until evening, whereafter WindowsXP failed to start (both
"services.exe" and "lsass.exe" with "Application Error: The application
failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).").
When looking at WindowsUpdate.log it seems as the following updates were
downloaded: KB911565, KB912812, KB890830, KB911562, and KB908531.
Is there any way to either
- undo/uninstall the updates or
- fix the problem
from within the console after booting with the setup CD and choosing the
repair option?
Kind regards

- Windows XP Setup >> Welcom screen gone...I just reformatted my HD and re-installed XP Pro. In the
process I inadvertently set it up for a domain (because I
had been installing XP at work and that's what I do
there!). But this computer is at home and not on a
network.
Now, I cannot get the welcome screen to come up and it
appears to be because I'm "assigned" to a domain. How do
I undo that?
(The welcome screen is the opening window that shows all
the users with their little icons and you pick which one
to logon.)
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Support >> deleting logical disk using disk managementi would like to use disk management to delete my D: drive which is listed as
a logical drive and has most of the hard disk space. to the best of my
knowledge, I did not set it up this way. If I delete it, will my computer
just recognize drive c with all the hard disk space available? Basically, C
drive has 14 G space with 11 G used, the D: drive has approx 36 G of Free
space. Wanted to burn a dvd and kept getting error that there wasn't enough
space .... i'm assuming that the program was looking for space on the c
drive. I needed 5 G space and only 3 G was available on C. Can anyone help,
i'm a novice and just wanted to use dvd burn to copy my movies. any insight
will be appreciated. Thanks All.

- Windows XP >> UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUMEHad a power failure yesterday and when I rebooted I got the "sorry you
have a problem" screen followed by the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME screen.
I could not go anywhere!
I called DELL tech support and did the following which resolved the
problem:
1) Installed Windows XP istallation disk into cd drive
2) Started computer and pressed F12 during startup
3) Select option #4 IDE.... followed imediately by hitting any key
4)Push key "R" at next command
5) At "C" prompt Type: CHKDSK /R (space between K and front
slash)
6) This test/repair take approx 45 minutes
7) upon completion, type "exit"
My computer rebooted and all was repaired, no files/data lost.

- Windows XP >> Auto printers in the printer sectionHi,
When you connect a Windows XP System to a network you start getting printers
with Auto in front of them. Some are good and show as connected others
don't work.
1: Why do they show up
2: How do you stop them from showing up on the PC
3: I assume that you can just delete them and connect to your printers
normally
Thanks for your help

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> Update destroyed my system ( temporarily)I make a habit of Updating Windows XP whenever a new
security issue is known. I installed the newest update (
August 2004) on the date of this message. Everything
appeared OK but when I attempted to turn on the computer
the next day all the Icons on the desktop were gone. I
restored to a point before the Update and It is now ok.
Should I reinstall this update? Was it the cause of this
issue? Does the update survive even the restore? I lost
time and productivity repairing this.

- Windows XP Support >> CPU Usage Peaks at >95% upon switching usersI have what I hope is a simple problem. I have Windows XP Professional.
When one person logs off the computer and another person logs on, the
explorer.exe peaks at greater than 95% when viewed from the windows task
manager, thus slowing down all other applications when using the computer.
The only way I found to stop this is physically turn off, then turn on the
computer... which has become an annoyance. However, recently I have needed
to turn the computer off and on several times so explorer.exe does not go up
to almost 100% CPU Usage. Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this
problem?
Thanks and very grateful,
Carl
