It works now I've changed the drive to master. The plug is a rather tight fit next to the power plug.

My mouse used to work well but now its awful with selecting text and drag and drop. Is there any particular component that tends to go faulty? I have a smooth mat now but it used to work ok with a...

I have Windows XP and a USB to 40pin IDE cable. It works with hard drives but not CD drives. Do these cables not normally work with CD drives? It is only a cheap one.

Reinstalling all my software and getting all the settings done would have been far more work. I would still have had the big problem with the IDE controller driver. The problem with system...

About £44. Thats much less than £95 that can be paid online to Microsoft.

It looks like I'll have to get the retail version.

Some people have installed from a Dell CD on other computers and got the product key entered. I might try a fresh installation just to test it.

If I buy a OEM product that isn't for a particular...

Wikipedia says that OEM software can be sold alone from Germany.

The disk is a full license that doesn't require W2000. The fact that I upgraded from W2000 is irrelevant legally.

I read...

Its legal now in Germany to sell OEM software. If you live in another country you can have it sent from Germany.

Do you know how to do a repair installation?

It might be necessary to downgrade...

The seller said it would work. I still feel that it will.

I was looking back at the messages and there is quite a few clues about the IDE controller driver problem that no one put together. I...

Its an OEM for DELL computers with SP2. It doesn't matter if my computer isn't a DELL. I'm planning to backup and then do a repair installation from this disk.

I can't get an installation ID from my product key. Is this because I used a different installation CD? There are quite a few different ones. I've tried a few other methods that haven't worked.

I don't have a program called oobe.exe.

I had to use a different installation disk. I think the product keys only work with the disk they come with.

I'm working with my computer now. How can I get my legal product key installed? I have used one that is blocked.

The Microsoft XP driver for Promise Ultra 100 didn't work. I think someone said this once before. It does work with W2000. I will get the Maxtor XP driver installed using an old drive to get it...

I've not started with that yet. There was quite a lot of corruption on my drives that I'm fixing.

The XP firewall is off. I think I'll have to fix some things I've seen in the event viewer.

Have you had 1GB modules working or ECC? 1GBs weren't tested when the MB came out.

I've got it installed after I removed AVG and Spy Sweeper. My ADSL adapter connects to ADSL but I don't recieve a byte from my ISP. AVG didn't install correctly. Nothing was changed with the ADSL...

There isn't any more to the message. I use the /f and /x switchws as well.

I use the /r switch. I will try uninstalling AVG and Spy Sweeper.

I have used CHKDSK. Is it necessary to uninstall AVG anti-virus?

I moved my IDE cables to the motherboard and I get a different blue screen now. It says STOP: 0x7B (OXF7A61528,OXC0000034,0,0)

It hasn't worked.

I got the file deleted by moving IEs cache directory to the one its directory is in. Then I moved it somewhere else.

I've converted my FAT drive to FAT32 and removed the unallocated space. Now...

I think its unlikely theres any spyware. There is a bit of unallocated space inbetween some of my logical drives.
