Thank you kind friends for your suggestions. The way to do it is to find the recovery set of CDs for a different machine (I found HP/Compaq) and they include an op sys CD and then you can do it according to the book. The Tosh is now working, I'm using it now. What you are expected to do if...

My hard disk has been replaced on my Toshiba laptop and I now need to use my ASR diskette and backup set. I have used the Toshiba Recovery CD and my new hard disk is as supplied from the shop with XP pre-installed. How do I use the ASR set to get it back to where it was before it crashed...

Thanks. Is there any way I can get into the box and tell it to try again because it did work today just the once out of many, many tries?

Satellite Pro 6100 running XP Professional. It will no longer boot from HDD. If I go into BIOS I can see on page 2 that it has no primary hard disk but I cannot get the cursor into that box to change the setting. Any one know how to fix it?

I have W2000 servers with a network of XP workstations. I recently applied SP4 to the W2000. Workstations have been SP1 since the installation. I have a script file that copies files from one server to another. This runs at the proper speed if run locally on the server or on any of the...

Thank you but I have indeed tried there. I've even tried with Gateway Technical Support. The modem is the on-board optional modem chip and the only info in the spec is "V90 56 KB data/fax modem (Lucent chipset)". Gateway's own setup routine on their System CD calls it an...

Why do you want to do it? I was told there is nothing to be gained when the OS is NT as it does enough caching and forward reading of its own to remove the need to defrag. Anyone know the truth?

I have some slightly elderly Solo 2550 laptops that were delivered with W98 on them. I have got NT4 running on them with the aid of the drivers I found on the Support CD version 4.1. However the setup in the modem folder does not achieve the desired result. It installs the built-in modem...

The problem is solved!! I turned off opportunistic logging as recommended in this thread thread68-434924

If only!! :-) I used to have in the past and then I did do a practice and I thought it was all OK. I just got worried when I saw people planning to spend money in case I had missed something. I'm getting old and turning into a worrier! Going into semi-retirement in France very soon and...

I'm worried! I use cpio - what problems do I have in store in the event of disater?

My understanding of clocks and time in Unix is not complete. I am aware there seem to be three: 1. The BIOS clock time 2. The system time as calculated by Unix from BIOS clock 3. The environment time as adjusted by the TZ settings. What is the recommended method for ensuring a consistent...

Thank you for the suggestion BUT all the tapes are identical AND the tape is inserted at the end of the normal working day - say 17:00 - and the script doesn't run until 23:00. I wonder whether the command doesn't work properly on modern Compaq SCSI DLT drives and I should just leave it out! It...

I'm running 5.0.6 on a Compaq ML370 with DLT SCSI tape. My overnight backup script run from cron starts as follows: " T=/u/phswin/nightlog.log echo "`date` Starting tape backup" >>$T tape reset 2>>$T sleep 30 echo "`date` tape rewind" >>$T tape rewind 2>>$T sleep 30 tape...

I have copied many hundreds of documents from an old system running NT4 SP-5 with Office 97 onto a machine running XP Pro SP-1 with Word 2002 SP-2 from Office XP. A significant number of the documents take up to 30 seconds to open on the new machine. Many of perform them correctly. I have...

crontab entry is 0 23 * * 1-5 /u/mikej/tape.nightly I don't think I've got xntpd running unless it is installed by default. Sadly I can't get on to the machine from here to check.

I have a cron script that worked perfectly on an earlier machine with DAT tape that intermittently fails on my new Compaq ML370 with SCSI DLT and 5.0.6. The script starts echo "`date` Starting tape backup" >> logfile tape reset sleep 30 tape rewind sleep 30 tape status and...

I have a small network based on W2K Server SP3 acting as DC in Active Directory and only 2 of the users (Mike & Pete) have Dial-in permission. These users are also restricted to logging in on their own machine - Mike on Laptop1 and Pete on Laptop2. The machine restriction works correctly...

Thanks. If I'm forced down this path I'll start there.
