- Windows XP Hardware >> "Ejecting" SATA drive (mass storage device, NOT USB) using scriptI have used many tools:
deveject
devcon
removedrive
sync
all seem to work with USB drives but will not work properly with Mass
storage devices of the hard drive kind (SATA) that isn't USB.
I know the Eject Devices GUI, but i want to run this through script.
Is there any way of achieving this, or has MS made windows inccappable of
doing so? (seems kinda silly to me)
Thanks you for all responses

- Windows XP Security >> Windows explorerCan anyone tell me why windows explorer wants to access
the internet? I have windows xp home edition. I bought
this computer a year ago and windows xp home was pre-
installed along with a whole package of junk from HP.
I have since uninstalled the junk I don't use. I have
installed Sygate personal firewall, and I use Norton
Antivirus 2004.
Windows explorer (not internet explorer) is trying to
access the internet every now and then, and I can't
understand why it would need access. I have pest patrol,
adware, and spybot search and destroy and I run them at
least once a week, so I have ruled out the possibility
that any spyware or adware could be trying to phone home.
Is there a legitimate reason for windows explorer to
access the internet?
Thanks for your expert response.

- Windows XP Setup >> $$rename.txtI have many apps being copied to the d: drive of an XP laptop build.
Many of the apps have long file names. I have tried many different
ways of using the $$rename.txt and the files never get renamed to the
LFN. What am I doing wrong? Following is an example of one of the
apps.
$$Rename.txt:

\ACROBAT\
\AdobeR~1.msi

- Windows XP >> File Access ProblemHello,
My computer (Windows XP Home Edition updated 1/23/04)
will allow me to open graphics (JPEG, TIFF etc.) if I
locate and open them through Windows Explorer. However,
whenever I attempt to access them through an application,
the application locks up and closes. The lockup will
often occur simply by choosing a folder that contains
graphics files.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

- Windows XP Support >> PC won't boot with new motherboardMy Medion 8383 wouldn't power up and the local computer shop diagnosed a
duff motherboard.
I took out my HD and put a blank brand new one in before I took it to the
shop.
They fitted the new MB and said it was booting fine.
I have now connected up the original HD, so just moved the power and data
cables over from the new HD to my original.
It won't boot up. I get a black screen offering to boot nortmally, safe
mode, last good configuration, all options return to this screen. I get the
black Wiundows screen with the couloured window as it boots up.
Apart from take it back to the shop, is there anything I could try?

- Windows XP Network >> Unable to add additional shared foldersI have 2 PCs on a home network: XP Pro & XP Home. I have recovered from a
fatal crash on XP Home with a new installation. Data did survive.
XP Home accesses internet via XP Pro and works fine.
2 folders - Shared & user-a - that were previously shared, continue to be
shared. This is true on both computers. Each computer can access two folders
on the other.
I have not been able to share any additional folders, including folders that
were shared prior to the crash.
How should I troubleshoot this?

- Windows XP >> continuous boot loopI'm really hoping someone can help me. I ran a norton scan
on my home pc and it found a virus called
W32.HLLP.Spreda.B (also called savenow)It had not actually
infected my computer yet. It was quarantined. I followed
the diretions on the norton site to remove it. At the end
of the directions i was instructed to edit the registry. I
followed all directions to a t and thought all would be
well when i restarted. i was wrong. My computer isnow
stuck in a continuous booting loop. The farthest it ever
gets is the black WINDOWS XP screen that shows windows is
loading, then it makes somne noises and starts to reboot.
It does this over and over and over again without stop. I
don't know what to do!!! Is there anyone out there who can
help me? The dirctions i followed are at the link below.
