In all probability your partitions are not yet setup. In windows 2000/XP, go to start>run and type 'diskmgmt.msc' and press enter. In the Disk Management window, you will probably see your drive C:(127 GB) and the remaining space as Unpartitioned Space. Right click the Unpartitioned Space and click New>Logical Drive, and follow the on screen prompts

Yes, you shouldn't have any probs with such a setup.

Copying discs works better when copied to the hard drive then back to the same disc...

I agree it's better, but doing so will NOT copy the boot sector off of bootable disks. A direct disc to disc copy will make an exact replica, including boot sector.

Allright. Judging by the info youve provided, botht the hard disk and CD Drive seem to be connected ok. There seems to be a jumper conflict. Try this. Look at the jumper pins on the hard disk AND the cd rom. The hard disk jumpers should be such that the disk is configured as master, and the CD as slave(You will find the jumper settings on the drives themselves.).Configure the jumper such that:
Hard Disk (The one detected as Maxtor) is configured as master
Both CD ROMs are as slave
Next, connect one CD ROM to the same data cable as the one with which the hard disk is connected(one data cable can connect 2 devices), and coonnect the second CD-ROM to the other data cable. This should get your drives working.

Since you seem to only have command.com on your drive, format will not work, as it is executed by a file named FORMAT.COM. Also, I see that neither of your CD-ROMs are detected. So, I suggest you open up your computer and make sure that all cables, especially the data cable is firmly connected. The data cable is a broad, flat cable with a plastic thingie at the end. This plastic connector has 40 holes. Align the connector on the cable with the corresponding slot on the CD-ROM drive (use the notch on the connector for reference, as there's a corresponding notch on the CD-ROM socket). To be sure, the red wire on the data cable faces the power cable(a 4 pin, white colored connector with 2 black, 1 red and 1 yellow wire). Once the data cable is aligned, push it in until it slides in the socket. Similarly, connect the data cable to the corresponding slot on the mainboard. Also, check the jumper settings on the CD-ROM.Connect the two CD-ROMs on the secondary channel(the slot in which the hard disk IS NOT connected.). Assign one CD-ROM as master using the jumpers on the device, and the other as a slave. The jumper settings will be mentioned on the CD-ROM drive itself. Once this is done, the BIOS will display the CD-ROMs in addition to your hard disk. Now, enter the BIOS (look out for a message tlling you to press a key to enter setup), and …

Hi,
In a project I'm working on, Im supposed to display 20 track names (its a music database). Currently, Im adding the links to the tracks like so:

<a href="music/<%=rs1("artist") %>/<%=rs1("album") %>/<%=rs1("tno1") %>%20<%=rs1("Track1") %>.<%=rs1("ext") %>"><%=rs1("Track1") %></a><br>

This same line is repeated 20 times, with the number1 being replaced by 2, 3, 4, 5......till 20. Is there a loop which I can use such that the line above displays 20 times without having to type these 20 lines ?
Thanks

Hey all,

Heres the code of an ASP I'm working on...

------------------------------------begin ASP-------------------------------------

<%@ Language=VBScript%>
<%
artist=Request("artist")
album=Request("album")

Set con1 = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs1 = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")

con1.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
con1.Open (server.MapPath ("\databasecore\mediaguide.mdb"))

sql = "UPDATE artistinfo SET UserAlbumReview='"&TRIM(Request.Form("AlbumReview"))&"' where artist ='"&artist&"' and album =

'"&album&"'"
rs1.Open sql,con1
%>

<html>

<head>
<title>Add Album Review</title>
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="profile 111, default">
</head>

<body>
<form name=review method="POST" action="review.asp?done=1">
<p align="center">
<textarea rows="8" name="AlbumReview" cols="31"></textarea></p>
<p align="center">
&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="Submit"><input type="reset" value="Reset"></p>
</form>
&nbsp;</body></html>

--------------------------------------------end ASP---------------------------------

What I want is that when a user enters text in the textarea, the same should be inserted in the field named UserAlbumReview

in the database. However, this isnt happening. Nothing is inserted in the database. However, if I bubstitue a phrase in the

SQL query instead of the Request.Form statement, the string is inserted properly.ie, if I change the SQL query to

sql = "UPDATE artistinfo SET UserAlbumReview='Test Review' where artist ='"&artist&"' and album = '"&album&"'"

then the phrase "Test Review" is inserted in the database. The values for artist and album are passed as parameters. Can any of you guys please help me? Thanks in advance.

why? what if a member realises he made a mistake in the post?

I think some of your MP3s are regular and some are MP3pro. Both have the same extension (.mp3). What you could do is install the latest version of Winamp 5. This player has support for MP3Pro. See if this helps and let me know....

Click Start>Run. In the run box, type "iexplore.exe" If IE launches, then only the shortcuts have been deleted. You can re create the shortcuts manually by creating new shortcuts with the path as %ProgramFilesDir%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.

%ProgramFilesDir% is the folder named "Program Files" in the drive in which windows is installed (Typically C:)

If typing iexplore.exe gives you an error, you have to re install Internet Explorer. Head to www.microsoft.com/ie to download IE6

Thanks. All info clear now.

No, the "FSB" is the Front Side Bus speed on the motherboard.The DDR266/DDR333/DDR400 items are the various speeds of DDR RAM available.

However, to get a better idea of what is happening (and so offer the best advice), what motherboard are we talking about here and what is it you are trying to do exactly?

What I wanted to know was what the DDR 266 etc meant. Is that the RAM Module's clock speed? I'd appreciate it if you could give me all info about RAM (What DDR266, DDR333 etc is, what PC2100, PC 3200 etc is.) All technical info there is to know about DDR RAM.

I was talking about the MSI 6712 mainboard.

I'm having a wee bit of trouble. The code is as below:

<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<%

AlbumArt=/music/Request.Form("artist")/Request.Form("album")/Folder.jpg

%>
The values of artist and album are obtained through a form. What I want is that whenever a user submits the form with, say artist as "Dream Theater" and the album as "Awake", I want AlbumArt to have a value of "/music/Dream Theater/Awake/Folder.jpg. These 3 values (album, artist and AlbumArt are then stored in a database using SQL commands. Exactly how do I go about this?

Thanks in advance.

Hey
Here's a table I got from MSI's web site

FSB\Memory DDR266 DDR333 DDR400
200 MHz YES YES NO
266 MHz YES YES YES*
333 MHz YES YES ***
400 MHz NO NO YES*

What I want to know is this:
the 200, 266, 333, 400 MHz listed in the leftmose column is the RAM's FSB speed. What does the 266, 333, 400 stand for in DDR266, DDR333, DDR400 ?

Im a bit unclear on that
Thanks

No questions asked. AMD rules (Is that a cliche'd statement or what?)

As mentioned here, the P4s are extremely overpriced. Case in point. I can get a P4 3.04 GHz with an intel original mobo for Rs 8900 (I stay in India, hence the Rupees. Current exchange rate is Rs 45 to the dollar). However, for Rs 8500, I can getthe AMD 64 2800+ with an MSI K8MM mobo. I call that a steal. I also assembled an AMD 64 2800+ based machine with the following specs for approx $650 (Rs 29200)

AMD Athlon 64 2800+
MSI Via K8MM Chipset based mobo with AGP 8X, 3 PCI, onboard graphics, sound, LAN, 2 SATA ports, VIA RAID built in and 4 USB
Samsung Flatron 17" Monitor
XFX GeForce FX 5200 GFX Card with 128 MB RAM
512 MB System RAM
Pixelview Internal TV Tuner Card with FM
Microsoft Keyboard+Microsoft Optical Mouse (bought as a Keyboard + Mouse Kit)
ATX Cabinet with 350 W Power Supply and 2 extra cooling fans
Internal Intex V92 56 KBPS Modem
Intex 2000W 2.1 Speakers with subwoofer
Sony Internal DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive (52x/32x/52x/16x)
Sony FDD
80 GB Seagate SATA Hard Disk

Oh and the system is black color.

I say AMD gives you the best performance (benchmarks prove it time and again) and the best value for money. Go the AMD way.

Can you tell me if the mobo is beeping? If not, you can be sure its dead. If it is, let me know what kind and how many it is giving. Thats the best way to diagnose potential problems.

Hey all,
Im putting together a 64 bit machine for my friend. I want to know, will all 32 bit progs run on it? Especially since I will be installing 32 bit WinXP Pro SP2 till I get a copy of the 64 bit edition. Will I have any probs?
thanks

I, too, hate those visual confirmation things. Besides, what is the biggest harm done if a bot registers on your site? What would be the advantage for a bot to do so, anyways?

One way for those visual confirmation thingies to be less annoying is if they wouldn't warp the image. What purpose that serves, I fail to understand. I personally find it annoying if I have to re enter the word just because it was too distorted to read.

In response to your question, cscgal, the biggest harm of bot registrations is wasted bandwidth, wasted disk space and wasted resources. :mrgreen:
