    Auto Disk wipe

    I figured out how to do what I wanted and the answer was in something I already have. We use ghost and it comes with a utility called gdisk. It will unpartition and repartition and format rather quickly. Of course I expanded on it a little. I added some tools to the batch file: This disk does...

    Auto Disk wipe

    Thats is true Ed!! You'd be amazed (or maybe not) at the stuff left on the HD. I rarely have had a machine come back formatted. I guess they trust us!! --Chris --Chris

    Auto Disk wipe

    Hi Roger, Thanks for replying. We actually use ghost to put an image on the machines. Usually when it comes off a rental we put it back on the shelf. When that particualr unit gets rented again we ghost what-ever OS they need onto it and install any extras they want, IE Office, Netscape ect...

    cd writer buffer underrun

    Wow, there is a lot of great info here. I learned alot!! OK, now my 2 cents. This may also help. I've have success tweaking my system settings. By changing to a perminate swap file, tweaking the vcache settings, lowering my burn speed and crossing my fingers, I was able to burn a cd :) --Chris

    CD-ROM - 'drive not ready'

    Hi, Yes, if that is the only device on the secondary controller, the jumper should be set to master. If after you set the jumper it still does that, I'd question the ribbon cable next. After you check those things and it still doesn't work, I'd start questioning the drive. Or more specifically...

    Auto Disk wipe

    Hi, I work for a Computer Rental Company and deal with numerous computers everyday. I was wondering if there is a utility that I could put in a batch file that would wipe a HD clean when it comes back off a rental. The quicker the util, the better. Thanks --Chris

    Switch settings for a HP Kayak XA PII/266

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the switch settings on the above machine. I went to HP's website and they won't give out that info. They don't want me to break my machine I guess. I want to put in a faster processor, which I already have. It's a PII/333. I'm a techie, and the only thing I...

    IE 5.5 sp2 not prompting for download

    Try re-setting the defaults in tools/Internet options/ Advanced / Restore all defaults. I had something flaky like that happen to me also. Re-installing didn't help me, but restoring the defaults did. Hope this helps. --Chris

    Norton Ghost Problems

    Hi, I had a thought also on this problem. I was wondering if it was the way the CD was being burned. I use EZ CD Creater 5 and I was having an issue with seeing cd's in dos at first. To solve the problem I changed the burn method from CDrom XA to CDrom and also the file system from iso9960 to...
