    Boot Cloned Image?

    ok so I tried to do the repair and it copies over all the files and then gets to the part where it reboots, it reboots and then just comes back to the Welcome to Setup screen instead of proceeding with the repair. There is a prompt to remove any disks in drive a: but it doesn't say anything...

    used drive image pro to clone the drive. It is the same box, it does not recognize it as bootable and after failing to find any bootable devices says insert bootable device and press enter. This made me think the drive was empty so i moved it to another tower to have a look and all the data is...

    Boot Cloned Image?

    So to "simplify" things in case my HD died I have been making a cloned image of it. Clone c: to d: my thoughts being if c: fails then just unplug it put d: in its place and voila we're back. I can see all my data and files on the cloned drive using another PC but I cannot boot from it...

    Windows 2000 and Office 97 problem

    Try changing the permissions for the user to Admin and see if it works. If it does then you know that it has to do with permissions and if it still doesn't work then it could just be the result of a different user. If you throw the Office 97 CD in the drive while you are logged in as the user...

    The adaptor is a Targus PA088 and they don't even acknowledge ever making the product. The GPS is a Trimble SV8+ and is a stand alone box that spits out serial data. If USB to serial adaptor is not a possibility then does anyone know of a better solution, being that serial ports have become...

    Targus no longer supports it. The only driver available is the one that came with it. The device works perfectly until I reboot. Once that happens the described problem occurs. What kind of PCMCIA card are you using? I have a Socket version that doesn't work at all. I have used several...
