    Old laptop with blank hard drive and no floppy (only cd drive)

    If you have a windows 98 CD, you should be able to boot from it, say yes to cd-rom support and then pop in your win95 cd and run setup from DOS Les Gray www.creartec.com

    ASUS CUSL2 ACPI BIOS rev.1001.a

    I got one of these with a 120GB drive in it, never tried anything larger. My Bios revision is the latest one, 1004 or 5, I believe. Les Gray www.creartec.com

    Ethernet Card Fried??

    sounds like the ethernet card is gone. You can pick up a Mac compatible 10/100 card pretty cheap. Look for a Realtek 10/100 8239 chipset card, they go for about $5-10. You'll find MacOS X drivers on the Realtek website (www.realtek.com.tw). They work great. Les Gray www.creartec.com

    How to uninstall Windows 2000 on a dual-boot system

    I'd have to agree with wolluf as to wiping the drive. I periodically (once a year) wipe my drive and start again. Sure its a pain to reinstall all the apps, but you know, do that a couple of times and you really start thinking -hmm do I realy use that ever? Can't program x do that almost as...

    How to uninstall Windows 2000 on a dual-boot system

    Yes, that is correct. You can read more about Ghost at: http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/features.html THere are other programs that do the same thing, like Drive Image, I only brought up Ghost because I use it myself. The nice thing about an image is if you bungle it the...

    How to uninstall Windows 2000 on a dual-boot system

    If you have more than one drive or a CDR-W, you could use something like Norton's Ghost or another imaging program to image your 98 partition, then wipe the drive clean with fdisk/format and paste the 98 image back on. Les Gray www.creartec.com

    Motherboard or CPU?

    I'd think the motherboard is the problem. THe P4's will automatically clock themselves down if they overheat, so as to not burn up. That should give the motherboard plenty of time to boot up at least. Les Gray www.creartec.com

    A Simple Question About ADB Cables.

    ADB extensions do exist, we sell them. As S-Video cables and ADB cables are identical, see if someone in your area carries S-Video extension cables. Also I have carried the inline connectors to join two ADB cables together, but haven't recently had much call for those. They are still available...

    SCSI Questions

    DOes your SCSI card not show you a list of devices and IDs while the computer is booting. It sounds like you have two SCSI channels, 0 & 1. This is different from SCSI IDs. ALthough just as a guess I would try changing the SCSI ID of the New external tape drive and try again. Also, check the...

    eMac 700 with fried NIC port any good solution?

    Linksys, Dlink, and several others make USB - Ethernet adaptors, but none offer any Mac drivers, at least on their website. Frustrating, as for example, Dlink makes Mac drivers for their USB to Wireless Ethernet adaptors. Sigh.... Les Gray www.creartec.com
