I use free Linux Live CD to clone XP and Vista. Don't think it has ever failed me once yet. All it takes is to have the target larger than the source. This is the thread I wrote for the Windows users. It looks long but the command is just one line. The Linux's method works for any operating...

Depending on the operating system you are using you could have a recycle bin or a trash system that save the deleted files temporarily for you. If you clear the trash bin regulartly you should get your hard disk space back.

Partition Magic is called Partition Tragic by many users who use it. It may be an unfair comment but I happen to agree especially if you use an old version. The other area to look at is I believe WD has two settings for a Master. One for it in the presence of a slave and another without a slave.

Any Linux Live CD will sort this out. Best go with Slax because it mount all your partitions, give you the root privilege (admin right in Windows term) and you can do drag and drop between ntfs partitions. Linux is a huge utility even if you do not run it as a proper operating system.

If you have a 5Gb master and a 80Gb slave the only way both run is a 80Gb master with a 5Gb slave. You cannot have both as masters in the same ribbon cable. The bios will disable one of them in order to run because it would have no idea which one it should boot first. If you have two IDE...

Can you not delete it by a Live CD without booting up the system in the hard disk? If the file reappears it may be a system-generated file and that may not be removable.

You need to install MS office 2000 in the current computer to run those programs.

I have mentioned in another thread of yours that you can install a Linux into the laptop disk when hooking to a normal desktop. Once you have one Linux inside you can download any other Linux iso file, mount it on a loop back device to expand it, copy the content of the new expanded Linux...

The simplest way I would put a Linux into a laptop currently has its hard disk out and hooked to a desktop PC. (1) Download the iso file Puppy, or DSL or Slax (2) Burn the iso into a bootable CD (3) Install any of the above as a Live CD, let its boot loader take over the MBR of the laptop...

Yep, from my experience only the Red Hat family distros use grub.conf in lieu of menu.lst. It is symbolic-linked to menu.lst. I never edit grub.conf in any of the Red Hat distros myself. To get Ubuntu booted to GUI as root, just edit /etc/gdm/gdmrc and change AllowRoot=false to...

Hi all, Always been a member of Tek-tips under the handler "bbird" in the engineering forums but think I better standardise back to the usual name I use in Linux when talking to computer people. I do drink coffee, twice a day and one cup at a time. Now you know this thread was written by a...
