OK. It is a bigger thing than I imagined..

I don't know how would you manage exactly powering up the machines remotely (I suppose the "wake-up" call is the only way), but shutting down shouldn't...

I think that this is a networking forum material.

Maybe you should consider Winbatch (http://www.winbatch.com/) for writing batch files, but I'm not sure if it is possible to use it...

First things first.. let's get rid of couple of nasties there.

If you have importaint files stored in it, you can easly retrive them. You can take out HD and put it in another PC, assuming your HD isn't fried aswell.

If your PC isn't making...

Cool.

You welcome, and welcome to Daniweb.

..and, yet, they all played dumb when ppl started to get killed in rolling SUVs.

I can imagine what would you have to pay for to keep that warranty valid. Regular services, regular oil exchages, regular tire changes, possible suspention refurnishing, engine parts replacements......

That is a modern technology today. One would think that the gadgets would improve over time. The goal of tech. advancements is to make everything last warranty + 1 day.

he, he.. welcome to the 1-year-warranty world.

I truly wish that there are no phone bills, but this reminds me of great Tesla and his attempt to distribute free wireless electric power.

Sounds utopistic.
Any high-ranking government official, that needs to sign the concession on (GSM or TV) frequency will take into consideration 1000s of employees working for real phone companies...

There's a law, atleast in Coatia, that prohibits unloyal competition. Google will never provide free or "free" service here.

If it comes to that, there will be a war, in a sense of hostile takeovers and such. They will rather buy Google shares and take over control to stop that free service than to go bankrupt for loosing...

In that case I would "buy" dozens of phones on a daily basis.
Googling on the phone... I can do that (but I never do) without buying gadgets from Google. C'mon ppl, it is a search engine, not a...

I must say Commodore 64.. Without it, most of my childhood would be different.

I got mine free... doesn't get any cheaper than this. I got it from service provider. All I pay is monthly bill. Only bad thing for me is that I signed 2 year contract, so I am obliged to pay until...

I don't think that Nokia, Sony-Errikson, Motorola, Vodafone and other phone companies and service providers will be too happy with it. I think that there is going to be a major war between current...

I can already hear it.... Intellisten, a technology that listens to your conversation and cuts in it with advertising messages, regarding the words you spoke.

I would rather pay money than be spammed by ads on a hourly basis. I imagine that free phone would come with "buy this... buy that..." bombardment.

That's another way of Google peeking into people's privacy. First they "had to know" what do you look for on the net, but now they want to know who are you talking to...

CIA will not tolerate...

Told you that changing drive letters causes problems.

The confusion with drive letters is caused by 500 Gig HD. It represents (another) primary partition on the system. By default, first letter (C) is assigned to first primary partition. Second one (D)...

If I was you, I would install windows on drive C (no repairs, no formatting) and manually install mobo drivers (as, cancel any automatic driver installation upon 2nd reboot). And don't...

You obviously deleted (a.k.a. moved from C to F) most of the files on drive C, so the setup program isn't detecting any windows installations there. I don't know exactly what is setup program looking...

You will have to disable 500 GB HD in BIOS. That way it wont try to repair it. You can also disable all HDs you have. Windows setup program can still install the windows correctly, only it wont...

He he.. pre-school age rules.

There is one thing you should have in mind:

If you have already installed VGA drivers, and your VGA has GeForce chipset, you wont be able to update mobo drivers properly. Some of them will not be...

Uninstalling software (I'm not talking about drivers) might be wise thing to do if you are not planning on formatting the drive before the Windows setup. For the disk space sake.
You will have to...

I have A8N Sli mobo, and only reason for the upgrade (apart from nForce 4 Chipset) is the socket 939. I had misfortune to buy my mobo just before the AM2 socket got released, and judging from the CPU...

Why, of why you want your D: to become E:?

You were right, I was in 5-year-old mode. I thought that I was replying to flamereaver. Sorry about that.
Anyway, my personal opinion is that there should not be any autorun.inf on local drive's...

Registry setting goes for all drives.

If the problem is with some, and not all drives, then I would suspect that those drives (I'm not talking about CD/DVDs) contain file named "autorun.inf" in...

I hate to repeat my self.

Well, here's for the 5-year-olds:

- click "run" in your start menu and type in "regedit". That should start the registry editor.
- if there are expanded branches in...

Try my advice (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/post379895.html#post379895).

You can trace the program that caused this by opening "command" sub-key of of the sub-key indicated in the...

-ignore-

There should NOT be autorun.inf in HD volume root. If you have one, delete it. Try typing this in "run" menu to reveal it:

attrib C:\autorun.inf -r -h -s

or

attrib D:\autorun.inf -r -h -s...

Did you even try my advice?

Try this:

Click "run" on your start menu and type regedit.

In "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" branch (first one from the top) find "drive" sub-branch. Easiest way to find it is to expand the branch,...

You need to set permissions on those volumes. Also, you need higher level account (administrator level is the highest).

To check whether your account is administrator one, open the control panel...
