Dual boot with BiNG Win XP/SP2 3 HDDs I've lost a HDD. I cannot see the drive in either Windows Explorer, Partition Magic or BiNG. PM give me a error 100 = bad parition table, and recommended back up of effected partitions, delete them and restoring. I cannot see the drive, so doing a back up...

Thanks for the post, Linney. I'm digesting pros and cons and working my way down the list. Good info here. thanks.

HI! I have a dual boot system (win xp/pro and win98se) with multi hard drives and each hard drive has multi partitions. XP OS on disk one, partition one and 98se OS on 2nd disk partition one. I attempted to install sp2 and when I did the reboot at the end, I never saw win/sp again. (Blue...

Thank you Lenny!!! I've found a few items of interest in Doug's tweaks. :)

I welcome all posts. You have good ideas which may work. The simple ones like changing to a dif port did not work but i now know which combinations work and am able to do my buisiness. when things slow down, then i'll get into the deeper/more expensive items listed above. Right now, 'uncle...

I think that you will be happy with this freebe: http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk bulk rename utility. IT'S GREAT!

Utilities <chkdsk,dfrag etc> wil not go on forever if you do make partitions. Partitions could also make backups easier as you would be backing up smaller chunks. I broke mine up as the above user suggested and usit as suggeseted. diff partitions for diff type stuff.

Problem still not solved, but I know how to work around it. Since it does not seem to have a simple answer a;nd i have a work around, it is not low priority . I'll see what it does and report back cdogg.

Turn off FAST-BOOT or something like that, so that you can see the memory count, and drive detection... QUICK POWER ON was disabled..I enabled it to see if there was an efffect-but no changes. no memory count, did see drive detection and IRQ settings. I don't like to use cable select (CS)...

Sorry- been on vacation... (1) boot from XP/PRO install CD... I've been reading manuals, and I'm led to believe that when booting from a CD there should be a prompt 'boot from CD?' (or something to that effect) and one should hit any key to continue. It further states that not hitting any key...

BigBadBen - I use this as a server, so it's not down much. Will check jumpers first chance I get. And yes it is the combination that is a problem.. each unit works as it should when by itself.

BadBigBen - i don't understand the logic behind boot order and the drive/CD not working? could you explain plz?

i'll go the windows update route... ty

I'm running WIN XP/Home and am having trouble installing another hard drive. everything is ATA133. I have the 180gig + 20gig on one ribbon and this cable combination does not change and is not the problem (as far as i know!). The problem is with this cable: I have a 120gig + cd burner on the...

so dumping the sp2 that i d/l'd last year, getting a fresh d/l of sp2, and then installing the new sp2 would be in order. i'll give it a shot next week after my current work is done. ty

thanks for the answers guys: electronicsfreak - its kind of crowded in the case, but i took a light and looked at everything that i could find and didn't see any discolored or enlarged parts. The board is about one yr old. spy - my Lite-On DVD is primary with the Mad Dog combo drive next...

yes USB is an intermittent problem and I can live with it as it usually happens when we are closing up shop... but it'd be nice if that didn't happen. [:-P] So, can I assume [bad thing to do] that the SP2 that is released today is different/upgraded from the SP2 that was originally released...

After reading more posts, I checked my IDE cables and they have a notch, so they are correct. The Bios reads Floppy, CD-ROM, HDD. also: if i attempt to boot from an Ultimate CD boot, i get "ERROR BOOTING FROM CD/DVD DRIVE. PRESS ANY KEY..... " and on the bottom of the screen I get error msg...

Thanks for the response linney; I'll start with reinstalling the printer and then work my way down the list. I looked at your list of articles and none of them jumped out and said 'take me', so i'll work on them. I'm leary RE: SP2. I've read where it creates problems with user programs and i...
