I just noticed that I no longer have a cd drive. It has been replaced with the duplicate of drive c, now listed as d:(disk1_vol1). In DOS, all is well. C is the hdd, d is the cdrom. (So doing a subst disconnect did not work.) If this was a faulty ide contoller, would I have problems in dos...

I just did a clean install of Win98 on an old custom built computer having an Asus P/I-P55T2P4 mobo w. a Western Digital 31600 HDD. After completing the install, the computer would not boot and I had to force compatibility mode disk access. This allowed me to start windows but now I show two...

Great. [blush] Its one of the original 2 pirated copies that microsoft won't allow to install (pkey starts with FCKGW). It appears the customer will need to spring for a new key, although I hate giving up on what has become a rather interesting challenge. Do you suppose an original release...

This is an interesting procedure and I am going to try it just to see if it works, but I have already extracted the product key from the client's hdd using Burrows' UBCD and keyfinder, and that is the purpose of this procedure (Amen1973), right? My goal is now to re-install windowsxp on the...

Thanks Amen. I've now got the key. Tried to re-install with another cd (remember there is no cd). Didn't accept the extracted key. I have XP cds for version 1a and sp2. This key may well belong to a a Volume Licensing installation. I am somewhat familiar with Microsoft's workaround for this...

I ran keyfinder from boot cd. Had it look in system32\config directory but program just keeps saying it can't load hive. Both "system" and "system.alt" are there. Is this not where I direct keyfinder to look?

I suspect you are referring to doing an install over top of the present install. I would have done this but the problem is, she doesn't have the product ID. When I had it up and running, I should have yanked it. The drive is accessable as a slave on another computer. Any way of extracting...

I have a customer who had brought her computer in with a failing hdd (wouldn't boot). Ran chkdsk, repaired bad sectors, etc. and got her up and running. Then, without warning, on a reboot, the mobo went dead. Without going into too many details, I replaced the mobo, but now it just hangs after...

This was very helpful. What an ingenious way of doing labels! Thanks for the link. By the way, I did do a search of the archives but missed the posting above somehow. Now, any idea how I can exclude the top 5 sellers? I do have a query listing the top 5, but I want to exclude them from the...

Is there a way I can correlate the number of labels printed for each person in one table with a "quantity" field in another table? I developed an access 2000 database for a city band to track its fruit sale. Now they would like to print off one ballot for every two boxes of fruit...

Thanks to all of you. You have been a big help. This machine will have only 1 HDD, 1 CD and a FDD. But I still don't quite understand the significance of the 3.3V listing on ATX supplies and lack of same on AT power supplies. The board I will be using can take an AT or ATX power connector...

Sorry, its 8 amps, .3 on the -12/-5 side.

I want to put together an older K6-2 500 system together. Does anyone know the power supply requirements for this cpu? Could I use an older AT Power supply having 200 watts, having 20 amps at +5v and 3 amps at +12v?
