linney, thanks for the links, so much good info in there, some I am familiar with, some I have yet to learn. Bill, thanks for bringing up the point of the registry entries the software requires. Duh, I didn't think of that little point! ha I'll skip the idea about setting aside a separate...

To be very specific, I'm not currently, nor in the recent past, having any problems with malware, spyware, trojans or anything of the sort. I just want to know if putting the OS on one partition by itself, programs on another, and data on another is a good thing and if it works. I assume it does?

I guess I'm too ignorant at this point, linney. I don't know anything about pagefiles and such. I'll have to learn more. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi linney, I went into culture shock going directly from Windows 95 to XP a couple of years ago. For a while I really dreamed about dual booting 98 and XP, but since I have learned to love (for the most part, except I still can't FIND things occasionally) XP, I wouldn't consider it now. I...

I tried to reformat and reinstall Windows XP for my cousin last weekend and got the exact same scenario as m9d. I realize the boot order needs to be changed, as my cousin's boots to C first. My concern is if I reinstall from the disk, what is this thing about the newer version on the drive as...

Thanks for the tips, linney. I tried all three. Unfortunately, they didn't work, but I learned some new ideas about the index service anyway. I noticed something weird during the procedure, though. When I restarted the service, under the Total Docs column, it has 17734, and under the Docs to...

I reformatted and repartitioned my machine last week (have done this twice before), and I just noticed the indexing service isn't working this time. It is enabled in Services, the check boxes (in Properties) for allowing indexing service to index the local drives are checked, and I've been...
