    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    Hello again gentlemen, I had to set my WiFi problem aside for a day or so and get back to work. Regarding your questions: It appears that the Wireless card is working as it should. Pinging 4.2.2.1 and GATEWAY gets solid replies. But pinging www.yahoo.com does not. The connection ap reports...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    BadBigBen, Thanks so much for the FREEWARE links, thought I was going to have to spend $$$$ for an ap. Regarding my WiFi card, its a EDIMAX Wireless LAN adapter model # EW7128g. It loads OK, LINK STATUS shows Normal to Strong signal, SITE SURVEY scans and gives me 5 choices and automatically...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    Greetings Gentlemen, Well, I've backed up all my Cad files on two 10gig HDDs and installed XP pro on the 80gig. I un-plugged the power cable from the 20gig and am using the 80gig for Auto Cad drawings. I'll re-connect the 20gig only when I need to run Filter Cad or PCB Auto Routing which is...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    Greetings once again gentlemen and thanks for your patience with me. Like FREESTONE, the more I study your advice the more paranoid I am becoming. Last year I acquired a dozen 10gig MAXTOR HDD's which had been used to store surveillance video at one of the hotels here in Sin City. Last night I...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    Gentlemen, Thank you so much for the confirmation and, yes, I will take your advice and burn the files to CDs. Last night I checked some of the older floppies and 3 out of the 25 I looked at wouldn't load. Regarding HDD drive failure, and the loss of my costly programs, could I merely clone the...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    Gentlemen, Of course you are right, I didn't realize that large flash drives could be obtained that cheap. I already have a 5 port USB card installed which I use for my HP all in one and my camera. So this is what I think I should do. Let me know if you agree OK? First: Install 8 or 16 gig...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    BadBigBen, Freestone, and vacunita First I want to thank you all for the great advice. Regarding backups, all my CAD drawings are backed up on floppies, at last count 357 of them. Many of these files require more than 1 floppy some as many as 4 so it becomes very time consuming to work with...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    Greetings WAHNULA, Heres my problem. When I retired, my employer allowed me to take my work station with me. It has a $1500 FILTER CAD and $2000 printed circuit AUTO ROUTING programs loaded on it. They will not work with OS's later than WIN98 and I was not allowed to take the software with me...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    Thank you for your reply VACUNITA, "You say you will be installing XP, which I take it to mean you haven't installed XP on the 80GB yet." I loaded WIN98se on the new 80gig just to make sure I could configure everything correctly. Once everything is OK I'll NUKE the drive and install WIN XP...

    Explorer doesn't recognize SLAVE

    Gateway service tech no help. The Problem: 7 yr old Gateway running Win98se with 20 gig HDD 90% full. Installed new 80 gig HDD as MASTER with original 20 gig as SLAVE. Bios recognizes both but Explorer only lists 80 gig MASTER. Configuring 20 gig as MASTER and 80 gig as SLAVE works as it should...

    IS FAT32 MASTER INCOMPATABLE WITH NTFS SLAVE?

    Gentlemen, what am I missing here? The problem: Corrupted MBR on my XP PRO desktop. Went to use the recovery console but discovered my ex-roommate apparently walked of with it. Steps I've taken so far: 1- Downloaded RECUVA application to my WIN98SE desktop. 2- Installed the XP HDD as slave. 3-...
