    SLOW FINDING 2ND HARD DRIVE

    you probably have a cheap motherboard like ECS or something. I have that issue with ECS sometimes. If you have a cheapie motherboard then get a better one! The IDE controllers on those work most of the time but sometimes you end up with a system that has problems like that..

    Creating an EXACT replica of HDD contents.

    I personally think that ghost is the best.... but driveimage is not far behind. They both create boot disks on floppies than you can use to automate the process.. But if you want to store your backup onto CD it's easier to use Driveimage.

    How to install a new OS on a 3 OS machine?

    You know the best solution is to get this device that goes into one of your CD bays and it switches to different hard drives by selecting which hard drive to boot from. I forget what they call it.. but I had a customer who I made a computer with one of those in it. He used 4 smaller hard drives...

    Home Webserver problem

    Well for your first issue, That can be a problem.. your computer knows your router address and thinks of your site as the same.. regardless of what port you are requesting from it.

    Internet connection flaky

    yeah linksys routers can be really crappy. Netgear is a lot better.. but only if you spend the money to get a decent one. Spend at least $100 on one. I've had four linksys routers go out on me in a row. And it's always a internet connection problem. You can log into it and everything just no...

    VPN with comcast??? Please say so

    yeah go to DynDns.org there are many useful tools you'll find there. You can, just like newnetadmin said install a client that will update your IP that points to a DNS name. The client I have checks for differences every minute, and if a change is detected then it updates.

    2003 server standard istall

    FDISK cannot interfere with the hard disk in any way that would prevent any new windows operating system from booting up from the CD. Windows 2000 and above will most of the time even remove linux partitions...

    server crashes when transfering a lot of files

    Okay I've had this problem on certain systems. The system kind of gets overloaded and bogs down. It seems to have alot to do with running things in the OS.. I've had alot of success with systems like this by copying outside of windows.. using a utility like DriveImage. Or even taking the drives...

    fax service terminating

    Try another fax/modem device. It may either have a crappy driver or be a defective device totally. Replace it and see what happens.

    Windows Update

    I installed windows 2000 advanced server into my system at home that I host my site on and I did not have that problem. One thing that I can tell you through my experience, is that on some systems, the windows 2000 update site does not function well. I have 50 computers at my office that I...
