    Hi all
    First post on this board.
    Well after Buying 2 HP computors and a packard bell .
    I decided to build me one.

    Heres what I did.
    I bought an Epox board, AMD Duron 1.1gig , 256 meg of DDR ram, Geforce2 titanium, and a case.
    I transfered my Hard Drive , Both cd drive and CD burner and Floppy over to the new machine,
    I was running XP and still am.
    The XP cd fixed all the hardware changes and I didn't loose any data. COOL!!!

    I got a Copy of Easy CD and installed it. It was a self extracting type. It self extracted to the C: Drive
    Now every time I double click the C: Drive I get this EasyCD tryin to install.
    I can Right click and just hit open , But I noticed that the AutoRun is in Bold letters.
    How do I Make it stop doing that.
    I found that and turned it off on both CD drives. But the preferences on the Hard Drive doesn't have the same Functions?
    Is this a Bios Setting?
    Thanks in advance Tom
    Sorry it so long, I just figure the more info yall had the better

    If you have autorun.inf in C:\ rename it to autorun.old. Hit F5 to refresh My Computer window.
