    Samsung SSD and SATA BIOS setting

    Goom - you didn't happen to enable RAPID mode too, did you? These number increases look a lot like RAPID mode was turned on. I have not run any Samsung EVO SSD in anything other than ACHI mode so I can't speak to that.

    Batch file not quite running right.

    This line looks suspect: set LogPath=\\Bridata\user drives\JeffWset LogFileExt=.log You probably meant: set LogPath=\\Bridata\user drives\JeffW set LogFileExt=.log

    Samsung SSD EVO and RAW warning

    This note has appeared in all five or so installations of EVO drives I've done in various systems so it isn't isolated to just your install. A poorly worded warning or note at best. It is either saying OP won't use any RAW partitions and will be taking space from your last formatted partition or...

    monitor goes blank after memory upgrade

    No one has mentioned it, and the age of the motherboard seems like it may make it a candidate, so I will suggest it. JTILL, examine your motherboard for bad capacitors. If you don't know what they look like, go here for just some examples. There are plenty of images to be found on the web...

    The error was: "DNS name does not exist." (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

    heh, thanks. Nothing like cross-postings. At least the DCDIAG suggestion was ontrack.

    Perhaps DCDIAG and NETDIAG would help diagnose your issue? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776854(v=ws.10).aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321708 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/265706/en-us

    WIndows 98SE shows instead of XP Home Edition

    @edfair Just so you don't feel alone, Ed, I too read the entire post, and some parts more than once. And no, I'm not into S&M :-) @kjv611 You are rightly concerned about moving an image to a different motherboard. Acronis supplies a separate add-on, used to be called Universal Restore, but now...

    WIndows 98SE shows instead of XP Home Edition

    Find someone who knows how to use Acronis, Ghost, or <insert your favorite image software tile here>. Have them image your entire old drive onto the new 600GB drive. Notice I say IMAGE, not copy. Insert new drive into your system and continue with your years quests of unlocking the other three...

    WIndows 98SE shows instead of XP Home Edition

    I'm sorry if I missed this, but is the original ATA drive still in its original, bootable state, as it was prior to this Dell fiasco? If so could you not purchase an external USB drive large, install your your original ATA drive in the PC, use a product like Acronis True Image, create an image...

    E-Mail Archive mailbox on a second server

    Are you able to send a mail message to the archive mailbox (assuming you did not hide it from Exchange address lists)?

    E-Mail Archive mailbox on a second server

    Via System Manager, did you assign the secondary server's mailbox as the archive target in your primary server's database properties (General tab)?

    WIndows 98SE shows instead of XP Home Edition

    What software did you/are you using to migrate the older drive partitions to the newer drive?

    Outlook cannot open some folders or perform some functions

    It may help to try isolating the issue to your Outlook client or your Exchange account. Do you have another laptop or PC where you can set up Outlook with your Exchange account and try the failing operations?

    Can't open network files

    We had a similar issue awhile back that was caused by Microsoft's Office Validation tool, which has subsequently been fixed by a newer release of the tool. Your symptoms sound similar to ours, though I believe our problem was isolated to Excel files. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2570623

    Files lager than 2GB

    Your troubleshooting has at least isolated it to a Vista environment. Are your Vista environments updated to latest patches?
