- Windows XP Hardware >> Replacing SCSI drive (boot) with EIDE driveI currently have a 9.1 GB SCSI HDD that works as my
boot drive. I would like to replace it with a 160 GB EIDE
HDD (on a controller card).
Western Digital drives now come with a utility to transfer all settings
from the old boot drive, to the new drive. I have already successfully transfered
all of the contents of the old to the new, but the computer refuses to boot from
it.
Steps taken so far.
1. Installed new 160Gb drive on controller card as master, temp drive letter assignement of I: (have 8 devices already attached, 2 SCSI HDD, 3 EIDE HDD,
1 SCSI CD-ROM, and 2 EIDE DVD-R's) Had to remove the extra SCSI drive for the power connector.
2. Partitioned, and formatted new drive using Western Digital drive software, and transfered all data from old boot drive to new.
3. Shut down system, removed boot drive SCSI ID 0. Re-attached old SCSI D: drive
4. Booted system and entered BIOS, changed boot options from SCSI to EIDE
saved/exited, rebooted.
System makes it through POST ok, see's all drives including new one at full capacity
(used LBA during format), but when it comes time to load Windows XP home, says system not found.
I have tried various combinations of settings in BIOS boot options to no avail.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Also tried DiskCopy v 4, no go at this station.
Thanks again

- Windows XP >> mouse sticking on tooltipsHello,
I am running XP Pro SP2 on a fast new laptop. For a few weeks all has
been good but over the last few days my cursor has been sticking
randomly when I move it over or passed an icon, link, the start bar,
anything that generates a tool tip. It's only momentary but is
beginning to become very annoying. My mouse is also new, a Microsoft
Notebook Optical Mouse 3000. This occurs even by running the cursor
across the taskbar straight after start up with no software
applications running.
I have a second similar laptop with the same setup and running
virtually the same software and even an identical mouse. The second
machine in almost a year old and does not have this problem. Swapping
the mice between machines doesn't fix the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this - does anyone know the solution?
Thanks
Shutey

- Windows XP MovieMaker >> Sound disappears in Timeline for some clips.. help!I'm running MM2 on WinXP Home on a Dell Inspiron 600m (1.7 P4-M, 35 GB free space)
I can capture video perfectly and I've spliced the clips to exactly how I want them. I've put everything in the timeline. BUT when I try playing it on the timeline, many of the clips have either no sound at all or un-synchronized sound.
I checked the audio component on the Timeline, but it looks fine. Nothing's muted, everything *looks* synched, and the individual clips play perfectly from the Collection folders. It's just once it's in the timeline or storyboard!
This happens even with just three short 10-second clips. Can anyone help? I have a project due tomorrow!

- Windows XP Setup >> ACPI ProblemsI just built a new computer based on an Athlon 64 3000+ processor, ABIT AN8
Ultra motherboard and Windows XP Pro operating system. All the other
components are also new and represent current technologies, however Windows
indentifies my computer as a "Standard PC" which is a non-ACPI HAL. I think
my equipment should support an ACPI HAL, but need help in learning how to
determine if it truly is compliant.
If it can support ACPI HAL, I believe I have to reinstall Windows and I need
to know how to make sure the correct HAL will be installed if I go through
this process.
Thanks for the help!

- Windows XP Hardware >> File system errorA WinXP HE box, riddled with malware, keeps restarting.
Iâ??ve run McAfee CLAV to clean out the malware, defrag to defrag the badly
fragmented files (which occupy 30/40GB), and chkdsk (/f from a reboot) to
check for and fix any file errors.
Then to isolate whether the constant rebooting (once every 1 to 15 minutes)
was to do with Windows or hardware, I ran the SeaTools Caldera DOS diagnostic
utility put out by Seagate. The utility ran happily for half an hour or more
with no rebooting, and it found no hardware errors, including no errors on
the surface of the drive. However it reported critical file system errors.
Questions:
1. Can anyone who has used SeaTools, confirm that the utility is accurate?
2. Should I believe SeaTools, which reports critical errors, or chkdsk,
which either missed the errors or failed to fix them?
3. If SeaTools is not lying, how do I fix the errors, without reformatting
and losing 30GB of data?
Thanks in advance.

- Windows XP Network >> cannot add or see printers although they do workI have an xp pro machine, 3.0 mghz, 1g ram, pent 4, on a 10/100 tcp/ip Lan. I
print and plot to an hp laserjet 4 plus and an hp designjet 1050c plotter.
Both are working fine. The hitch is that I wanted to check the properties for
the laserjet the other day and when I selected the "start/settings/printers
and faxes" they DO NOT SHOW. Also I am UNABLE TO ADD A PRINTER. I have
checked and the script services are started which I thought they would be as
I can print just Fine but I need to fix this. I appreciate any help I can get
on this, I have searched the newsgroups and only find fixes for NT (which I
tried to no avail). I will watch for responses here but you could also e-mail
me at : rhots995@netzero.com.
This is a new machine with xp pro sp2. I am the admin. I am the IT/CAD
manager here although my IT experiance is learn as I go. (Lucky me). We have
a mix of equipment here: 3 xp machines (mine is the only sp2), 1 ME machine
and the rest are 98se's. We have a 98se machine for a FILE SERVER. We use
LanTastic for our software to asign rights to different groups of workers. IE
the engineers don't have access to the office files etc. As far as I can see
nothing is hidden. By the way, THE LASERJET 4 PLUS IS ON A SEPARATE, STAND
ALONE PRINT SERVER, not run through the file server.
Thanks for your help,
Rick

- Windows XP Setup >> Display properties after SysPrepHello All
Has anyone seen this before?
I have a number of DELL Latitude laptops that have now
been rolled out with an XP image that has been
distributed using the SysPrep imaging method.
Once I boot the laptop up and logon with any network user
account I cannot view the Diplay Properties page properly.
Keeping in mind that we have a Group Policy in place that
hides all pages except for the 'Settings' page. We have
done this so users can change the screen size and
resolution when using projectors etc.
Local Administrator account can see all Display
Properties pages, but any user, including a user who is a
member of the local administrators group cannot see
anything in this 'Settings' tab, it is blank ???
So the Settings tab is there, but has nothing on it, i.e.
no Screen size settings, no Display resolution settings
no nothing, just a blank screen !!!
The Video chip on the DELL Latitudes is by ATI. I have
tried updating and reinstalling the Video drivers, but
nothing changes.
Do you know if this can be changed by hacking the
Registry or some other fix ???
your Help is appreciated

- Windows XP >> Startup user selection vs small-fill-in-the-blankStupid question, but I forget how to get my initial screen to log in to go
back to the XP default showing the users (with a silly icon). I was messing
with settings to get sharing working within my subnet and inadvertantly got
the settings stuck with the rectangle wherein I must fill in my user name.
(such as when one has specific domain or netware apps to take into
consideration).
So how do I get the settings back to start up to show the user's names and
icons - wherein I can click and fill in the password?
Thanks,

- Windows XP Setup >> Intermediate User having major problemI have a 5 year old Gateway , 1 gmhz, 512m Ram, Windows XP upgraded from ME.
All of a sudden when I click on Start/My Computer the icons that used to be
there showing my Plextor DVD Drive/Burner and my DVD/CD drive have
disappeared.
I have run Spybot/Lavasoft/Norton/Microsoft Beta/spyhunter and feel
resonably comfortable the machine is clean.
I have restarted over and over. I have Shut Down and turned off power from
the wall to no avail
And to add to this for some strange reason my "hide inactive icons' feature
will not function even tho the appropriate box is checked.
Anyone have any suggestions? I really would like to have the icons for my
drives show up in My computer.
