    FAT Backup Different Names

    When I've encountered that, I've always had to reboot and enter Command Prompt/MS-DOS mode and run chkdsk from the C:\ or C:\Windows prompt to correct it.

    Outlook Address Book

    Oops, I saw Address as Express, guess I need new glasses. As Carmilla says, it's designed that way. Was at a Microsoft seminar last week where the question came up and same answer.

    Outlook Address Book

    Your Subject line mentions Outlook Express but the body of your post says Outlook. They are different programs, Outlook Express comes with Internet Explorer and Outlook is part of Office. Outlook Express and Works use the Windows Address Book in Start, Programs, Accessories.

    Where is Boot File?

    Forgot to mention, it's the same on Win2000.

    Where is Boot File?

    But to answer the question, you have a dual-boot setup and for Win2000 and WinXP with any other OS, the boot.ini is located in the root of the C: drive, C:\boot.ini. It can be edited to change the sequence. It can be deleted so the computer won't boot at all. It can be changed in WinXP by...

    DOS Hardware Checker

    I use a couple of diagnostics that work from their bootable floppy. To do it right you'll need the loop-back plugs for the I/O ports.

    C drive partitioned

    More information about the computer is needed. Some computers are being shipped by the 'brands' with a D: partition or hidden partition containing the Restore/Recovery files and you DON'T want to lose that.

    Urgent Help,New install on new drive??

    I have a Gigabyte GA-7IXE from March 2000 and its BIOS doesn't recognize hard drives above 32GB. Could flash with a later version for up to 75GB but it's running fine with Win2000 as a spare computer.

    Sony notebook power problem

    I thought sure a town of 40,000 people would have at least 5 horses. I'm in a town of 5,000 and have many more than that, e.g. 1 horse, 5 cows, 4 calves and 2 heifers just across the road. Unfortunate for Notebook owners is that there's very few independent repair shops that can work on...

    V. Frustrating WinXP dual boot problem (not the usual)

    One thing I didn't see mentioned [or missed] is that the BIOS generally sees IDE Primary Master as the boot/system drive and reports that to Windows. Win2000 and WinXP can be installed on a second drive or a second partition but they still need to put a few files on C: when they create the...

    Accidentally typed wrong product code!

    You don't have to Register it but Product Activation has to be done. If the installation accepted the CD Key and it installed [won't if it's wrong], try the Activation.
