    Windows 7 and XP Home multi boot

    Thank you both for your replies. As a precaution I have copied the Win 7 and XP boot files to a USB stick, which I have just used to reboot my system. Knowing that I can boot from the USB stick, I can then format C: drive to clear everything out if required. toolman59

    Windows 7 and XP Home multi boot

    Thanks Linney The file and folder you have referred to reside on drive C:. This does not have an OS on it, so I will format the drive containing Win 7 Beta, and in due course, when Win 7 RC expires, I presume that another format of the Win 7 RC partition plus the deletion of the folder and file...

    Broadband connection speed

    Linney The Realtek 8139/810x Family fast ethernet NIC drivers are different XP = 5.713.121.2009 (latest version) and Windows 7 = 6.110.530.2008 which most likely confirms your opinion that Windows 7 has better Networking capability. I must say that I like Windows 7. When I eventually get a new...

    File "Access denied" in Windows 7

    strongm Yes I did skip Vista. Thank you, I have found H:\users, some of the folders have an icon with a sort of shortcut arrow in the bottom left corner, none of these folders are accessible, I presume this part of the new culture I have to get used to, are these junction points also?

    Hidden System Partition after install on Dual Boot.

    BobNY Have you got the latest patch for Partition Magic 8? There is a 12MB patch that takes it to 8.01. I have just used PM 8.01 to partition a 1TB ext. HDD without any problem, this was on XP Home SP3. toolman59

    USB 2.0 and external HDD

    My experience for what it is worth regarding a USB2 external HDD is as follows. In the past week I connected up a "Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus" 1TB Ext HDD to a fairly old Athlon box with 1.5GB of memory running XP SP3. The USB2 is via a PCI Card like Bronan's, at the same time I attached a good...

    Installation of Lotus 123 Version 5

    bfr I transferred my floppies to CD some years ago. I created a folder Lotus 123 Rel 5 and then copied the contents of each disk into this folder. I then copied this folder onto a CD. It is amazing how quickly Rel 5 installs from a CD. toolman59
