Hi Neil. Your experience is interesting. I wasn't aware of the existence of the Multibay device until this situation occurred. I'm sure you'd sell...
Unfortunately - another failure. I was pretty much expecting it as the method wasn't much different from what I'd been doing. Main difference was,...
Wildfire, thanks for your suggestions about this irritating little problem. As I said, although it isn't serious, I'd like to sort it, because...
The system is XP Pro and the media is on CD. Re the external USB CD drive, that's obviously an option. But new, they're around NZ$80. I've been...
Thanks Wildfire. But if you take a look at the Microsoft site indicated in the earlier post, it says in the '..these conditions are true'...
Tried the method I noted above and it almost worked :-) Followed the how-to then booted from the laptop hdd but it came up with the message...
Sorry about that, Wildfire. The first part of the post was supposed to be addressed to PeteC. Re his suggestion about a networked install, it's...
I dunno Wildfire. There's no OS on the target end - just a formatted 60G 2.5" drive. I'll read the links tho, you never know. Here's what I...
Thanks rsinfo. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get a USB bootable XP to work. I've tried three different methods without success. It seems to...

Thanks but I'm not sure if the USB (one-only) port is 100%. Plus I've never had much luck with booting a system from USB. Do you know of a...
Got a tricky one. A customer's Compaq nx5000 laptop has crashed and he wants me to reinstall his OS. But this model Compaq doesn't have an...
So you're saying that SIW would have revealed that the PC3200 stick had been throttled back to match the PC2100? Which was my original question....
Well..SIW is a fairly basic and dated diagnostic program and it's certainly not capable of providing an answer to my question. And I have eight...
Thanks for that:-)
Just opened up an XPPro computer (Asus P5PE-VM motherboard) and discovered that it has one 512m stick of PC3200 and one 512m stick of PC2100....
Thanks. I'll mark it as unresolvably resolved :-)
Thanks for your suggestions guys, but I tried all the usual bug fixes some time back without anything changing. It's obviously some very localized...
Hi mattman. Actually, I didn't say that the problem involves desktop shortcuts. The folder where it's most annoying, because of the time I spend...
My XPP SP3 Acer laptop has had, for several years, an irritating glitch - it won't allow me to drag and drop a file or folder onto a folder...
