I would advise against booting off a win9x bootdisk to install either 2000 or nt. that's an absolute last resort. The best thing if you can't boot of the cd, is to put the win2k disk in your machine...

Well, part of what they told you is true. Both cpu's *must* be the same type and speed. In theory you can use celerons, but boards that support it are harder to find, and dual celeron is not...

What version of cd creator are you using? I am running 4.01 on my win2k box without trouble. I have also had success with cdrwin 3.7f.

Good question. The answer lies in how nt handles fat. as you probably know, the 2gb limit under win9x is because a limit of 64k clusters, at 32k each comes up to 2gb. NT allows fat clusters of 64k...

Ok, now I see what you mean. The boot/system drive is still subject to bios limitations. This is true of any os as the bios has to boot the drive. If you have a recent motherboard or scsi controller...

you can customize network, and regional settings. but as far as hardware/drivers and windows components, no you don't have much range to customize. you can add most of the optional components post...

short answer is no. in truth, ntfs never did have a practical size limit on primary partitions. the limit was imposed by nt setup because it first made the drive fat, and converted it to ntfs, hence...

Ok. To get win2k/nt4 and win9x to act properly when using IPX, on your 9x machine, pull up the properties for the IPX protocol and enable the option for "Netbios over IPX". you will need to reboot...

First thing to check would be the BIOS setting "memory hole at 15-16m" or something to that effect. That is the most likely cause, jsut disable it and things should be ok...

The easiest way to register is to go to www.2test.com and follow the steps there for online registration. You will have to go through a process to create your user account, but after that you will...

Ok. Have you tried having each machine ping the other? If not, you have an ip address assignment problem. If they can ping, you need to setup either the wins server, or an lmhosts file. The lmhosts...

Search for that code on the microsoft knowledge base! I've seen that once before, I think it's related to a winsock problem. Check the MS knowledge base, that issue is definately addressed.

Now I see what you're saying... None of the image programs can be run from within nt so far as I know... If it were me, if the machine is that important, mirror the hard drive... Much easier...

Sort of. The drive manager program that comes with most new, retail drives can do this if you have it setup the drive. Just make sure not to install the overlay. Personally, I'd go download a demo...

AlienDyne, what nt files that can't be copied?? There are several that can't be copied while nt is running, because the os locks them, but that's why you boot from a dos disk and use something like...

Netbeui has no configuration. You install it, the client, and reboot. That's about it. For a basic file and print sharing network that's small, it works nicely. On tcp/ip though, you will need to...

First off, ntfs is not a different type of file allocation table, it is a totally different filesystem. Problems with imaging are not likely to be the filesystem, unless it is corrupted.. I've...

Go into device manager and delete the sound card. THen, before restarting go the the multimedia control panel. Go to the advanced tab. Under each of the first four listings, there will be an entry...

I don't suggest using the xcopy trick to clone win9x drives. The results can be unpredictable. The exact details of this problem can be found at www.pcguide.com
Using a program like drive image,...

When you updated the controller driver, you installed the VIA busmaster drivers, right? Whenever you install the third party busmastering drivers, it will list the ide drives as scsi. Basically, this...

You will have to use something like Symantec Ghost, or Powerquests Drive image or drive copy. You should be able to download a time limited demo of any of them. I like drive image the best...

Well, if you're an mcse, you have a technet subscription. Run a search on the microsoft knowledge base, either online or on your technet disks. There is an article that explains what most of them...

I have seen this problem a time or two. In each case the association for .lnk files had been deleted. Quick fix to try first, go to another pc with windows 95. run regedit, and under...

You want to know which gives the most effiecient storage? NTFS definately... It's scales to much larger drives then fat32, and uses more efficient cluster sizes. Plus, it's more recoverable and...

depends on your cd authoring program... In easy cd creator, in the bottom right hand pane, right click on the cd label and choose properties... Click on the second tab. Make it iso9660, and click on...
