Thanks TonyT. Oh, so I'm not going batty, then :-) The full path SHOULD be there in the script. As you say, maybe the "Bizdocs" folder is...
In a friend's office, this batchfile copies the folder Bizdocs from drive E on computer1 to drive D on computer2. xcopy E:\Bizdocs\*.*...
Thanks again TonyT. OK, it looks like he wants to go down that track, so the hardware will probably be a D-Link DNS-323 enclosure, with a couple...
Thanks TonyT, sounds a good scheme. How will you do the 'grabbing from the home pc'? I may need to do the same if my friend opts to take the NAS...
Thanks TonyT - I'll give that a try. Thanks also about the backup info, ie the NAS box. I was wondering about that option, so I'll talk to the...
Got a machine with a hard drive that seems to be in a very odd format. Anyone know of a program, flopy or CD, that would recognize all, or maybe...
Thanks again for your input, Wildfire. Following your suggestion I was able to find out how the backups are driven. MSTask.exe is running on the...

Hi all. I'm using my Acer XPPSP3 laptop to test some applications that require microphone input. But all I'm discovering is that the mic input...
TopFarmer, that's an interesting suggestion, to delete the boot.ini file altogether. It didn't occur to me. However, I've given the PC back to...
Hi all. Hope you guys don't mind me posting a question about a Win2K Boot.ini here. I'm trying to upgrade a Win2K installation to XP, so I hope...
A friend tried to set up a multi-booting program (System Commander, I think) on a 40gb hard drive. He tells me that he got XP installed OK but...
Thanks Evan, but I'd already tried those fixes. However, it's sorted now - turned out to be a corrupt icon cache. The cache was in /Documents...
Some friends unwisely gave their teenage son free rein on their Acer laptop. I've fixed most of the damage but I'm having trouble getting the...
OK, job almost done. Here's a summary of how I did it, in case someone else finds it useful. It's a little different from what we discussed...
