technome, 02091963 Thank you for your suggestions. I went to the manufacturer's site (Hitachi) and found the program to do the low-level formatting. That did it.

technome, Oops. Sorry about that. I cross-posted it in a different forum because I didn't get any responses in the first place and I didn't know how to erase it.

technome, That's interesting, but can you tell me what is going on?

knowledgeisnetworkin, This is the only server and is not connected to any network. The network cable is unplugged.

Thank you, PJONJACK, for your response. I will try Norton program.

longlivegoku, After finishing the reinstallation, I wanted to promote the server to domain controller. When I entered a domain name, Windows refused to accept the name, saying it was alrady used and gave a suggested name which was the name I wanted followed by "0". So, I am inclined to believe...

longlivegoku My quetion is: Why does the server remember the past domain name EVEN AFTER I deleted the partition COMPLETELY and FORMAT the C drive entirely DURING THE INSTALLATION? I expected this would clear the drive, but it did not. That is why I am asking this question. I am not using...

Thank you for a prompt reply, longlivegoku. No, my question is not about DNS or about how to change computer name. I just want to completely wipe out the server's HD and start from scratch. The normal formatting procedure at the time of Windows 2003 installation does not seem to erase...

Thank you all for your thoughts.

I am building my own pc. One question that has been bothering me is which way I should install a HD. Horizontally or vertically? After all, gravity must affect the mechanism of a hard drive in the long run, and I tend to think that a vertically installed HD will get less impact of gravity, thus...

Thanks for prompt replies.

Can I pass data, say, a string, to an exe program by a command line? And if so (I hope), how can I retrieve it from inside the program? For example, suppose the program is MyProgram.exe. I would like to start it by a command line like MyProgram.exe "abc" Now, I don't know how to retrieve this...

v1b1n, Thanks for the detailed help. miles4, Since you are trying to install SATA HD on ASUS P4PE, I can help you with my own experience. 1. The first step is to make a floppy disk with Promise RAID driver. (This is the step I didn't know for long time.) Insert the CD that came with ASUS...
