Thanks again, you guys are great! Regards, vidkid

Thanks. So there will be no conflict with the xp configured slave with the master vista configed drive? Sound good to me if that is the case. Now if the drives were reversed where the os is the slave and the master disk has the xp config? Regards, Vidkid

I have a xp home (was slave on old, no longer functioning computer)Have a new Vista computer with a slot for a slave. Can I just make sure the jumpers are set to slave on the xp drive, hook it up, and recover the data? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Vidkid

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I can boot up in safe mode, I can choose Administrator,then the MS banner comes up again, with choices to resolve now or resolve later, this is when my keyboard becomes inoperative. I guess my only choice is to set up that hd as a slave on another computer, and try to...

Thanks for your reply. I bought this computer at a close out sale of a computer repair place. I did not get this banner until 2 years later, and all we did was to cancel it.This lasted up until now. If I install an oem version, won't I lose all information? Thanks again, vidkid

Hello, I have swapped out both,keyboard and mouse. The keyboard only works when I hit the f8 key and arrow up and down in the menu where you can choose safe mode, go to the last known configuration etc, but when it launches MS banner come up stating I may have a counterfeit copy of window xp and...

I have a spare hd that I would like to add as a slave to my wife's win xp system, but the hd was from a win 98 machine that no longer exists. I have read the threads, so all I have to do is set the jumpers correctly, let the bios detect, and then f disk, or format that drive to bring it in...

I have been having a similar problem to designware's ps, however it is a bit different. My computer would just shut itself off from time to time,and I determined it was over heating, put it in a colder place, and left the case open..that worked for awhile,then the ps went dead, no light at all.I...

This is my secondary backup of photos/videos; .avi, .crw,.tiff,.jpg, and .pdd, from my windows xp home edition.The drive is still recognized by windows, but every time I try to access it, it gives me that error. Is this a partition problem, or just a corrupted disk problem? I would just format...

This is been happening more and more. I have to reboot 2 or 3 times to get the full desktop to show. What's going on? I have a Dell Inspiron B130 laptop with windows XP home. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, vidkid

Thanks for both of your repies. Yes, I do believe I have all the information on another external hard drive, but am not totally sure, or I would take your advice, format and reload the back up material.So, I am trying to think of a way of recovering those files, just to ck if I may have some...

I have been using an external usb hard drive as a redundant back up for my internal hard drive. For no apparent reason, when I try to access it, it asks my to format it. I guess the Master Boot Record is corrupt and needs to be restored?? I have never done this, yet there are software companies...

Linney, thanks, you were absoutely right! Did a restore, then reseated the cards back into the slots, and bingo! Thanks again, I knew you folks would come to my rescue! Cheers, Millard

My old Dell Optiplex with win xp was running fine until I moved it across the room. Now, on bootup, the p&p error comes up, and my video display 4 colors, 640x480. Device mgr list my graphics card with a yellow confilict sign, as well as my nic card. Uninstalled both, id both when booting up...

Thank you, Regards, vidkid

I have been told by NetZero that it supports win95, so I was installing merrily along when I got an error stating that I needed to go to MS and get "winsock" from them. I could not find it. Does anyone know what they are asking for other than winsock, or what I need to download from MS web site...
