    Cyclic Redundancy

    lol, thanks a lot man!

    Cyclic Redundancy

    Okay! Case closed, think I've answered my own question about drive letters!... Here's how I got it working: 1. Used Partition Magic's PQBoot to set the copied XP as bootable (don't know if this is necessary?) 2. Detach all drives apart from the one with the copied XP. (this seems to avoid...

    Cyclic Redundancy

    lol! It's strange - 'all I really wanna do' is clone this XP onto a new drive - I can safely remove the old copy once it's done. I've been able to do this very succesfully in the past using Ghost to copy a WHOLE disk. The problems seem to start when you copy *partitions*, not the entire...

    Cyclic Redundancy

    Tried the "gdisk /mbr 1" after removing the old drive and didn't get very far. Computer comes too a halt at the DOS page that shows installed devices (after the drive listing) I've found that I CAN log on to this copied XP in Recovery Console from the XP CD - does this mean there's some...

    Cyclic Redundancy

    What a palarva! Ok... well, I think my problem with booting the copied OS is probably this drive letter thing. Unfortunately, the only solution suggested by MS is to edit the registry through a network, which I don't have. Is it possible to edit the registry through the recovery console...

    Cyclic Redundancy

    Okay please forgive me but I need a bit of an idiots guide to this cos I've messed it up and had to do Windows repairs on the copied OS partition a few times. All I know so far is: 1. Copy all OS and program partitions to new drive. When I've tried to boot from the new drive in the past it...

    Cyclic Redundancy

    Well... Partition Magic + Ghost so far, but they wouldn't touch the dodgy partition, all I could do in the end was delete it after I got what data I could off it. Any1 got any tips on copying the OS?

    Cyclic Redundancy

    Okay, managed to recover what I could from the messed up partition, (thanks to everyone, including thos at the 'recovery' forum who helped). However, answers have been thin on the ground there to my latest questions and I thought you might have some ideas. Here's the latest news :)-...

    Text size

    Wierd... some themes have bigger text sizes in Explorer than others, even when they're set to 'Normal' size fonts. What is going on?

    Text size

    How can I change, specifically, the text size of Explorer windows without changing the other text sizes? ie. without changed to 'Large Fonts' I have been going through all the settings in 'Advanced Appearance' but cannot find the one that changes this! (takes forever) Cheers, Bill.

    Missing drive

    Thanks a lot guys, gpalmer711 got it, for some reason the drive was disabled in TweakUI. I think the drive letter had changed or something, the player took that letter and then dissapeared. It's an iRiver H120 by the way, I well recommend them! Cheers Bill.

    Missing drive

    This is related to another problem I've been having (I think)with a dodgy drive. thread528-867265 Since this happened my USB2 HD mp3 player isn't working quite as it should on this machine (works fine elsewhere) Basically you can still access it, but it doesn't show in 'My Computer', or...

    Telephony

    (Basically to get a cheap rate I'm dialling a massive 0800 no, then a PIN, to access.)

    Welcome screen gone

    Thanks guys, and sorry, should have made that a little clearer - Computer has two users on it, but we're getting the 'Windows 2000' style login, instead of the easier to use (for the kids at my school) 'Windows XP' style, one-click and you're in Welcome screen. Cheers

    Telephony

    Okay, sorry! Any way I can do this using the Call-Card feature or something? I can't see any options but perhaps there's a work-around?
  17. Present

    Telephony

    I already have a massive directory of numbers from my mobile phone etc so it would be impractical to change them all by hand if that's what you mean.

    Welcome screen gone

    I've tried turning it on or off in the Administrative tools, doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Telephony

    I want to set up O2003 to use a different dialing prefix (for cheap rates) when I dial a mobile (cell-phone) number - any way I can do this? At the moment it seems to have only local + international options.
