I was thinking about installing Linux so I could have a software expandable RAID 5 array. I currently use win2k3 server, and its software RAID 5, but would like to be able to expand it on the fly. I have read that expanding an array under Linux can be unstable. Anyone have any experience or...

Hello, Have PC with a via chipset and Nvidia graphics card, SP2. Everything was working fine, but today after some windows updates were installed, windows rebooted and now displays the windows splash screen, but the next screen that is displayed is blank, with just the mouse cursor. I can...

Thanks for the reply, but after some messing around, I found I could change my disks to dynamic disks, and then span them using WinXP, however Microsoft states on ...

Is there a way with XP I can access multiple hard drives as one drive without using RAID? My understanding is the RAID 0 will stripe across all drives and failure of any singal drive results in a loss of all data, on all drives. I dont want to use any other level of RAID because I have no...

Using NTFS, I have 120GB drive partitioned into a 9.7GB system drive and 102GB storage drive. For a total of 111GB, I know I lose that appx 9GB due to addressing and partition. What I dont understand is on my system drive, it reports I have 3.78GB of free space. I displayed all hidden and...

thx bcastner, thats what I was looking for!

A user was removed, but all his files, desktop settings etc. are still available. Is there a way to add the user back in like he was never taken out, so he has everything setup how he wants it?

Thanks again guys, the 256 MB stick that I had in there was bad. Failed the mem test 5 out of 5 times. I replaced it with a good 256 MB stick from a comp that has been running fine (this stick also passed the mem test 5 out of 5 time), confident that that was my problem when... *beep* The...

Hey! Thanks for the suggestions, I updated the bios, which did get rid of the ACPI errors. I also updated the VIA drivers to the latest 4in1's. Unfortunately, the reboot still occurs every five minutes :( It does not reboot if I let it sit at the boot disk MS-DOS prompt, but does reboot in...

Hello! I have a computer that reboots about every five minutes. It will not reboot if you are running a program, like winamp, but if one is just surfing the net it will reboot. I have all the power saving features turned off in XP and in the BIOS. I have XP set to NOT automatically restart...

I updated to the most recent 4in1's with no success :(

Any other settings i could try?

Thanks smah, that is what I was looking for, but did not solve my issue :( I performed the steps and found 8 hard drives that i had previously installed in the device manager. I uninstalled them all, but I still have the delay. I believe it is a disk config issue becuase BootVis.exe shows...

My bios is fine, as well as my master/slave settings on my drives. If I remember correctly, back in the Win98 days, if you installed a drive, then removed it, it would search for that drive for a default amount of time before continuing with the boot and there was just a simple *.ini edit...

Anybody have any ideas/suggestions?

I verified that my bios is set to auto-detect, and it is detecting my hard drive and 2 cdroms correctly.

Hello! I find out via another forum that VB is not the optimal code to perform this sort of action, which is probably why nobody here had a clue of how to perform this. I was told that VC++ would be needed to perform this.

I was troubleshooting multiple hard drives my XP box, now that I am done, and there is just my original hard drive in the box (I had up to four at a time), it takes 1 minute longer for my comp to boot. I verified using bootvis that the "disk" part of my bootup is taking one minute...

Anybody know how to do something like this at all?

Anybody know if I can perform this with winsock VB programming?
