without breaking it totally.:) Let me explain. A few days ago I accidentally ran over the DC side of the power adaptor for a Toshiba Satellite Pro, with the vacuum cleaner. This shredded part of the cable & it wasn't plugged in at the time. I have since replaced it with a new supply but wondered...

OK- are you able to install XP without your non RAID drive being present on the new machine or are you just trying to get XP going from your old drive? If the latter then this is where you may be having the issue. What you may need to do if you have an install CD is to get XP to detect the RAID...

Hi I have a perfectly OK server which I'd like to use for our intranet & other internal work. It used to be the domain controller for our old system. I'd ideally like to keep some of the data thats on the disk. However if I have to rebuild then so be it. The OS is Windows 2000 Server. The...

Hi Did you also remove any reference to the system board from your old machine before taking the drive across? If you didn't there will be conflicting info about your previous controllers, which I assume were on board the system board. XPwill need to auto detect the RAID controllers which I...

Hi all, ;) I've got an IBM Kiosk PC here that is running Win2K. The PC is not supported by anyone & it runs a touch screen application for patients to announce their arrival at the surgery. The process is not exactly taxing. However, there is a problem related to the roaming profiles installed...

Paragon Software's Total Defrag 2008 SE. Installed the above s/w from well known magazine cover disk and I should have backed (last time a couple of months ago -doh!) up all my data beforehand but of course being a trusting soul thought I had no need to do so. Anyway about half way through - I...

Hi all. I have a printer issue at work which is driving me potty. There are other issues with other printers, but if I can crack this one, I think I'll be on my way to solving the others. I work in a Doctors practice. We use a number of Brother 5140 printers. They are not connected to the...

are you doing this from a bootable cd or a floppy drive install? Is it win95 or win98? It *does* make a difference. remember, these versions of windows were in effect DOS applications ie they required DOS to either be there already or would install DOS as part of the install procedure and...

sorry, you need to be a little more specific. A log file from what Windows? an application? a utility? Lay out your problem clearly and someone here might be able to help.

I'm no expert in partitioning however, I think your main problem is that as Vista was there first (so to speak) it effectively stops you from moving it - which is what you seem to be needing to do. I don't know if long standing tools such as -Partition Magic or Partition Manager can get around...

Don't know much about this other than that the Steinberg product is supposed to be good in it's class - in which case wouldn't it be a good starting point to use the requirements for that and build beyond those minimums? Maybe even find some forums based around other users of the software - some...

Hi Sniper Yes I've run the setup routines. They install the monitor software from Belkin and put the drivers into their relevant places. The Windows Hardware detection process then requires a script file (the .inf file), provided by the hardware vendor to tell Windows where everything is and...

Only things I can think of without having the item in front of me is to try the disk management (using right click mouse button) option from My Computer/Manage. As you'll know, the manufacturer will give a "raw" unformatted figure for drive capacity. The amount actually available will depend on...

Yup Those are they and they are the right ones but sans the .inf file, which is what the Windows Hardware detection routine needs. Many thanks for your help - I'll go on searching and post the resolution (assuming I get one!) here.

Some good news and some not so good news. Good news - there are some suppliers (UK based) on EBay who supply keenly priced power supplies for leading machines. I bought a couple last year for two Acers and they're still working. Not so good news - don't have the details anymore on my Ebay...
