I'm trying to sort out a new point-of-sale terminal for a friend's cafe. These machines are an all-in-one unit, ie, a kinda Atom pc attached to...
Heads-up: Dude, you were spot-on. Seems to have been the IDE cable. I just shut the pc down then re-seated the ribbon and voyler - a no-prob...
Dude, you were right, it wasn't the boot files. I made another boot floppy using the existing files and it worked just now, following today's...
Good call, Dude, I'll try that. Didn't think of the drive being possibly problematic. I wonder, if it is ailing, whether Hard Drive Regenerator...
A desktop PC has just started to refuse to boot, with a message like "....no System Disk... ". It's done this several times over the last few...
Thanks for your help everyone. The customer has taken back the machine so I can't take it any further. But I've learnt something about the...
Mattman, as I said, 'Sarah' isn't listed as a User account. There are only 'Owner' and 'Guest' user accounts in main mode. In Safe Mode, there's...

A friend has a bunch of email addresses in an Excel spreadsheet. When he clicks them, they (naturally) open his default email client, Outlook...
OK, I'll try it. Let's see if I've got this straight: 1. I install (run) debugwiz? 2. I install (run) dbg_x86_6.11.1.404.msi (32bit)? Not...
The customer's machine that I was referring to earlier is still here and still showing the ntoskrnl error on the first boot of the day. But if I...

If, like me, you've been around the pull-it-to-bits-to-see-what-makes-it-tick side of computing for a a few years, you've probably seen this...
