    Re-boot message over and over and over

    Dave, Good plan I make to many mistakes in the heat of battle. Redoing the system is such a major pain. As soon as this gets straightened out Ghost your system then the pain of a reinstall goes down to about 15 minutes. I support a number of nonprofits and have gone to making Ghost CD's and...

    Win98 wrong subnet

    This could be being caused by the 2000 PCs. Win 2000 likes to act as the DCHP server. I found this out the hard way when I hooked up my laptop Win 2000 to a very stable lab network of Win 98 machines. When I disconnected my laptop all manner of wierd things happened. The solution for me was to...

    System BIOS Won't Recognize My Western Digital 100G 7200RPM Drive

    Limiting the cylinders is usually done by putting a second jumper on the drive to fool the bios into thinking the drive is physically smaller in MB smaller than it really is. You still have the same mother board and only changed the processor. That's what makes this so strange. Do you have...

    System BIOS Won't Recognize My Western Digital 100G 7200RPM Drive
