well, the setup program doesnt give as fine grained control as fdisk, such as (for example) creating primary vs extended partitions. thus it was hiding the real problem from me, and I was unable to FIX the problem. so i opted to use a tool that *would* allow me to see and fix said problem.

thanks for the response. i took your advice and booted into a freedos-based fdisk (obtained from ultimatebootcd.com) to look at the partition table, and realized that the install had recreated the 50G as an *extended* dos partition. i recreated it as a primary and marked it as active, and...

I'm trying to reinstall XP Pro on a 500GB hard drive that originally had two partitions: 1) 50GB - this partition is what i want to wipe clean and reinstall windows on 2) 450GB - this partition is just for storage and has tons of personal files on it. I went through the blue DOS install screens...

Never mind, I answered my own question. Under the Advertising tab, there's an option to use a wrapper playlist for each file selected, in which I'm including only the requested file, with a duration: <?wsx version="1.0"> <smil> <media src="%requestedUrl%" dur="45s"/> </smil>

I'm setting up an on-demand publishing point in Windows Media Services that basically streams anything in a specified directory. I was wondering 1) if anyone knew where I could find existing plugins, and/or 2) if anyone knows how I can limit all the media files from such a publishing point to...

yep, it was still broadcasting NetBIOS in the advanced tab...turned that off so port 139 is secured. And my predecessor had never turned quickbooks off, which was the 10160 port, that's now secured. i'm unsure whether I need msrpc running (the only remote thing i'm running is remote desktop)...

In the process of trying to beef up security, I ran nmap against a Windows 2003 server to determine what ports were open. After removing any known and used services (http, wms, rdp), I'm left with all these flapping in the internet breeze: 135/tcp open msrpc 139/tcp open netbios-ssn...

We are in the process of changing our internal Microsoft network drastically, and want to avoid any potential major problems ahead of time. Currently, we have a single subnet on our local network, provided by a D-Link DI-640 router: 192.168.0.* We are in the process of changing to a Cisco 2811...

How about this, then. Our primary DNS server would be on a 66.xxx ip, and would serve up records with a 66.xxx address for each of our servers, while the secondary DNS server would be on a 71.xx ip, and would serve up records with a 71.xxx address for each of our servers. Coupled with a very...

We're trying to rebuild our network at work for fault tolerance, and I was wondering if its possible for our server DNS hostnames to answer to multiple IPs. Let me explain... We actually have two pipes coming into our building, a DSL line that the individual users are on (71.xxx.xxx.xxx), and...

in the permissions for the ftp site (right-click > Permissions), i have both the administrators group and a username specifically for this site. The administrators group has all (inherited) permissions, and the single user has explicitly granted 'Read & Execute', 'List Folder Contents' and...

ah, i guess i needed to set permissions for the home directory, when I was expecting an 'allow/deny' area within the mmc. thanks reynolwi! i've another issue now though...both locally and remotely, i can connect, but during login I recieve the error "530 User cannot log in, home directory...

gah, that was it! thanks a bunch. (its 1-based, by the way)

This is my first foray into setting up FTP through IIS (ive always used filezilla under windows, or wuftp under linux), and i'd like to limit access of this FTP site to only specific users. For instance, we have around 30+ people with usernames on our server, and they access their files over...

No, it is definately a property, as this screenshot from the object browser shows: http://img122.imageshack.us/my.php?image=itunescomac8.png Keep in mind, this isn't something I built and can change, this is the public API for iTunes. Could the property perhaps be returning some kind of array...
