Correction: Try subtracting up to 1700 cylinders from your 38792 spec when entering the data into the BIOS. It could be even more. On that Maxtor the BIOS subtracts 1419 cylinders from the hardware spec to get it to work. Your mileage may vary...

This is a very sticky subject. I'm dealing with this in another way right at this moment - I'm trying to recover a FAT32 partition for a client which was attacked by the CIH virus. For those who don't know that wipes the first 2048 sectors of the hard drive, essentially destoying the data...

Sorry I haven't been around much - I broke my wrist a few weeks ago but still have been trying to keep my end up on these forums. However as of late my wrist is becoming quite uncomfortable so I have reduced my online time. I was just rebuilding my own network stack when I noticed something -...

May I add a 1/2 pennies worth? I remembered seeing this before. See: http://www.dewassoc.com/support/win98/verify_dmi_data.htm on the above you may be able to (if the system starts with a floppy - reset your boot order setting to help with this) replace the repartition and format statements...

The first thing you will want to check are the motherboard memory sockets. These sockets are made up of small, springy pins which contact the memory DIMM's pads. If you are a little too forceful while installing a DIMM you can bend one, or several, out of place enough that it will not make...

Yeah, that's normal. That Unknown device - are both entries under USB or are they in different places? The Reserve IRQ for USB setting in the BIOS should be turning on the motherboard's USB chipset - so the second Unknown Device is probably that. Turn it off in the BIOS. If Windows still...

BTW, is this CD-RW your only CD drive? If things are really being stubborn I would try disconnecting the drive inside the computer, booting into Safe Mode and deleting all IDE controllers again and then allowing Windows to reinstall the controllers. Keep the drive disconnected while you try...

Sorry, forgot you are using 2000. Testing still applies as before but must be modified to take into account no DOS mode - boot to a DOS floppy if need be. Don't print msdos.sys - get another file to print on the floppy. type config.sy>lpt1 is there is a config.sys. You need to bypass...

Make sure DIP switch #1 is set to ON - the STAR mode. Check the program and make sure it is not putting in a form feed at the end of the print (ASCI character string 12) or extra line feeds (ASCII string 10). Connect the unit directly to a parallel port and in DOS mode print something to the...

If you get the FCC number from the board we can do a FCC number cross-reference to get the manufacturer. Also, look (at what usually is) the biggest chip - that should be the controller. You may be able to find a generic driver for that chip from the chip manufacturer's web site. Your mileage...

Does Device Manager show a ECP Printer Port or just a general Printer Port? If it does not show ECP then you may have to switch modes in the BIOS setup to put the port into EPP/ECP mode. Make sure that the port is operational in it's current mode and does not have resource conflicts with both...

Try running in Safe Mode to do the Install / Uninstall routine. Also make sure that all programs are shut down in the System Tray (the little icons next to the clock). If they are not force shutdowns with CTL-ALT-DELETE. It may also help if you totally disconnect the CD-RW to try Uninstalling...

Are you using the Druid or RedHat's fdisk?? What exact error came back to you? Please report it here. Did you use Partition Magic to create a Linux partition on a pre-existing drive for the new RH install? Did you (if the option is given to you) set the RH partition type to 83 and create a...

See: thread602-304144 Many new motherboards do not store the password on CMOS - they now store it in EPROM that is integrated into the BIOS chip. See the links I provide in the above thread for details. The above thread was originally for a laptop but the same applies. Your mileage may vary...

This is what you do: Start up in DOS mode - either from the hard drive or from a bootable floppy. You will need a bootable floppy to do this anyway. This technique is for Windows 95 / 98 / 98SE / ME. If you have others different techniques apply. Since you said you have Norton, do you have...

You didn't say which 560 version you had, but here is the link for model 2640 drivers. Make sure you download all the needed files...

The simpliest way - BUT, I am not going to claim the BEST way - is to reinstall CD Creator and then uninstall it again. But this time when you run the Uninstall routine for CD Creator run it in Safe Mode. This way the 32 bit device drivers will not be in use and Windows can delete them because...

Does it go into, from the Windows Startup Menu, Command Prompt or Safe Mode Command Prompt modes? Does it start up from a floppy and give you a MSDOS C: prompt after doing so? Disconnect the hard drive and try booting from the floppy if the boot-from-floppy test fails on the first attempt...

IBM / Lexmark used to make a split keyboard that could also fold as a byproduct of that design a number of years ago. Try: http://www.tifaq.com/keyboards/adjustable-split-keyboards.html As you can see, big $$$. The Lexmark, if memory serves, was around $150 at a time when the Microsoft...

Sounds like the BIOS is not in the proper addressing mode - should be in LBA (Logical Block Address) mode - not Large. Your mileage may vary...
