Hello,

A few things:

* You have a hardware RAID that is not managed by Windows. I think you knew this, but I am describing why Windows will not be able to manage this for those who are...

Hello,

You need to first backup your data. That is of primary concern. When you are done with the re-install process, the data will be gone.

Next, boot from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM. Go...

Hello,

Yor computer has three hard drives. When we speak of RAID and partitions, we like to use the word VOLUMES in the server world to describe how the data is stored on your computer.

Backup...

Hello,

For the others reading the thread, you may wish to tell us HOW you did it. Giving back to the forum is almost as fun as asking things. :)

Thanks,

Hello,

The driver disk thing that you describe also happens when placing Win 2000 on older SCSI drives when booting up via floppy.

Another example of getting all of the drivers together before...

Hello,

I am assuming you have on your laptop a live XP or 2000 environment.

Log in as Administrator.

Right-click on the files to edit the security. You might need to "take ownership" of...

Hello,

Hello,

My guess is that your XP Home machine does not have you authenticated properly... in other words, doesn't know who you are. You might (change that to BETTER) have firewall software...

Hello,

When booting from the XP CD, the software should ask you where to install it. In that screen, you should see the partions available listed. You should be able to delete the partition,...

Hello,

There is a way to disable the countdown, but you should make sure you have your data backed up before you make this modification. While it isn't a serious mod, if you do something wrong,...

Hello,

A Hardware Interrupt is a "message" that the hardware will give the CPU saying that attention is needed somewhere else. For example, if your CPU is adding some numbers together, and...

Hi,

What kind of system? Windows 2000? XP? If it is any one of those, be sure to logoff at night. But if the techno geek is good, you will need to delete the cookies, history, and other...

DMR --

DUH! The coffee did not kick in. I have been doing ASCII art like that since 1990. Never dawned on me that writing in that fashion would cause it.

Boy I feel dumb.

Um,

Not sure how I got smiley faces after the drive name. They are not appropariate within the context they appear. Please pardon the mess.

Hello,

I would save any data you have on those drives, and format the box clean. I would also partition that 200 GB drive into three volumes: System (C:), Applications (D:), and Data (E:). ...
