Can anyone please tell me how i can do a file and folder backup to my DVD Burner using Windows backup Utility. I don't think it is possible because i only see the option to use CD-R media, NO DVD* media. I would like to do partcial file and folder backups with out having to drag and drop and...

Hello, Whenever i open my Documents and Settings folder, all the contents first load, then it seems as if it freezes for 30-45 seconds before i can open any folders within D&S. What can be causing this. Thanks, KMartin2004.

i just realized its formatted as FAT32 so i can't use the XP compression utility. :( So i guess i will just use the WinZip and hope every computer i run in to has it installed. Or i can keep a copy of the free version on my jump drive incase i need to install it to open my files. Thanks...

I just got a new jump drive and it does not have software for Password protection. Can anyone recommend something i can use on all XP computers that does not require installing on every computer i use. Does Windows XP have a password creator? If so how can i find it. Thanks, KMartin2004.

Is there a way to back up only the items that have been changed or editted? Can i do this with what comes wth XP Pro or do i need a third party program? Thanks, KMartin2004.

I've been chatting with someone who said he has all his programs on one drive and keeps all the saved files on a second drive. So basically anything that gets saved is on the second drive. Would this be a good idea for me to do something like this? Then i can buy an external and back up to it...

Hello everyone, hope you are all have a nice weekend. I have two 40 gig hard drives. One has XP pro on is and the other 2000 Pro. All i want to use this time is XP Pro.I want to back up all my data on both drives and reinstall everything again. Can you all offer some creative ideas on how i...

Thank you so much tf1. I thank you all for you time and info. KMartin2004.

Hello everyone. How long do you think this mobo will last me? I don't require super high performance but i like some speed. This is what i have: mobo A7N8X Deluxe cpu AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 266 RAM 256+256 Daul channel 400 3200 w/max 3gig HHD 2x40 gig on IDE VID nVidia 64mb i...

Thank you cdogg, Bcastner, and tf1 for all your info. tf1, you make it sound like it would be a bad thing to go from 512 dual channel to 1.5 single. I see that it will cut the bus in half but what does that really do to someone who like to listen to music and play a few game? More RAM with...

Hey everyone, can someone please tell me if there is a problem with mixing RAM size? For example: 256+256+128+64 if i had four slots and i out these in those slots would this be ok> I have the A7N8X Deluxe MOBO w/dual channel 400DDR 3200 it has three slots. I have 256+256 dual channel in use...

wolluf, you bring up a good point. Why would XP show as drive C? I thought the boot disk is always Drive C. Thanks, KMart2004.

Thank you Bcastner and marcs41 for your information. I will try to use this information this weekend. I'm kinda nervouse that i might do something wrong. I think i need to back up my system before i edit the .ini file. Bcastner, how safe is this without backing up my system? Thanks, KMart2004.

OK, I'm sorry, but i gave the incorrect information. I couldn't really remember. The computer was preinstalled with 2000 Pro not XP. So 2000 Pro was installed first on 1st hard dirve and XP Pro on hard drive 2. I want to keep XP and dump 2000. 2000 is on the boot disk, but i dont want to keep...
