They are internal and I rebbot every couple of days. However, I always leave one end of the USB cable plugged into the port even after I remove the external drive. This time I unplugged it as per micker77's suggestion and they are both showing up as f and g. Still do not completely understand...

I have 2 card readers in my Velocity micro tower, using XP Pro, and neither is recognized as a drive when i open my computer. There are no question marks or exclamation marks in my system folder. They used to show up as drives F and G, with my WD external showing up as H. (The WD is what I...

From the truth is stranger than fiction file. It now works. After going thru fixboot and fixmbr twice each, and bringing the drive back to the original computer, it is now recognized. Did a virus scan and it had the w32.allim virus in 4 files. This was the third fix boot/fixmbr we went thru...

Actually, I did not try the others, because this is the 4th different box I am in and the 2nd type of PC (gateway & emachine) and just does not recognize the drive in any circumstance.

I have tried a number of the options you suggested prior to writing in. The hard drive diag showed no prob. There are no usb devices attached. Still hangs at mup.sys thru safe mode, fixed MBR. just can not boot to the drive. not sure if a virus is present, or drive was hijacked. It does...

I am unable to boot to my xp home drive, the computer resets/reboots itself and when i have it set as a slave, the computer recognizes new hardware, but the drive does not show up in my computer. if i go to control panel/system/ disk drives it shows up there, but is inaccessible and it says...

Thanks for all the help folks. Sorry for the delay in answering as I am the one man tech show and it is tax season to boot. All is now well as Velocity Micro replaced all 3 machines since the mobo was changed out and that didn't help. Now we have the same basic machines but with Intel mobo's...

Can anyone explain how to rename a PC running XP Pro on a peer to peer network. The start/settings/control panel/system only renames it on the pc itself and the only user set up is the warehouse, and i do not want to set up additional users, just want to change it to another name and the...

Not sure about that norty303 and I am not really that technically sound, lol, but when the tech came to install the new mobo, he checked the connections on the usb ports and they could only be connected one way. Thanks tho for the reply.

Hi all, This may be long-winded but I really need some help. Recently purchased 3 Velocity Micro PC's with Asus MB-3.0 gig processor, Codogen 500w PS, 1 gig mushkin ram, front & rear firewire and usb ports, etc. I had them all set up and networked and all were running fine. Plugged in a WD...

Thanks cyberprof I actually copied the mapi32.dll from a clean copy of outlook onto the bad machine. This cured the problem so I didn't have to reinstall outlook, but thanks for the pst backup info. Appreciate it

I received the following message when trying to open outlook. The ordinal 36 could not be located in dynamic link library MAPI32.dll. This occurred after I set up an email account thru netscape. Prior to that, Outlook worked fine. I ran the fixmapi from the command line and then started...

Thanks dylanloh I came in to work today and actually figured it out. Each user (anyone that wanted to link to the win2k machine) had to be set up on the win 2k machine exactly as they were set up on their win 98 machine. Appreciate the quick response tho.

I have 8 computers. 4 run windows 98 and the other 4 windows 2000 pro. The 4 running win 2k pro can all see each other and share devices, printers etc. but i have now run into a problem where the windows 98 machines can not access the 2000 machines. I can map to all of them, but when I try...
