Also, "fixing" bad sectors is not generally a permanant fix. Once the sectors start to go, generally more will start to go as well. If you are able to recover your data, I would not use this HDD as a primary again. Most I would do is use as a diagnostic tool if you need to test the IDE or SATA...

Ok, thanks.. Reason I ask is because I will be out of town next month and have an FTP connection set with my system. I will be doing a lot of photography, and plan to upload the images from where I am to home so I have an easier time of accessing them once home. I guess I can just leave the comp...

Well, my first question is regarding your first comment. What are the "usual" problems that you have with Windows XP? Second, it sounds like one of a few things could have happened. 1- Your computer had some sort of virus or other malware that totally screwed up your hard drive. 2- Your...

Hey all.. I am wondering if there is a way for Win XP to come out of hibernation on network activity. Say, if I were to connect via FTP to my computer to transfer some files over.. If this is possible, I'd really like to know how. Thanks! Chris

It's not a LCD. It's a flat-screen CRT.. http://viewsonic.com/support/desktopdisplays/crtmonitors/proseries/p95fplus/ Black one. Chris

Where would it tell me? Thakns :) Chris

Hello all, I was given a Viewsonic P95f+ professional monitor. However, the base is missing, and I would like to get ahold of one to replace it so I can swivel it or whatever as needed. I checked Viewsonic's site, but couldn't find anything that would help. Any assistance would be appreciated...

I'd like to find a way to lock the borders of a cell, so that when the contents of a cell are dragged from one cell to another, the contents are moved but the borders remain the same. Thanks Chris

I have a system at home that I am working on for someone, has a dual- processor setup (both AMD Athlon XP 2800+ MP's), socket A.. I need to verify that the processors work, however the dual processor board they were on is non functional. I have another Socket A board at home that works, it has...

Well, I ghosted the active partition. I'm going to use the recovery tonight, then ghost the BASIC install of it, then merge the two partitions and re-install the main Ghost file.. Hopefully this will work.. Chris

I ended up lookign further, and there was something almost too small to see, labeled PCG-FXA47 on the right side under the screen.. That pulled it up. Apparently only 7 gigs is useful for anything while the recovery software is there. I told her about it, an we figured out what we want to do...

The system is using WinXP. I thought about the cloning idea, it might work if I can use something line norton ghost.. Micker- I input the model number there and it comes up with something completely different.. a Model PCGFXA47.... IT does not appear to be the same model.. Chris

I am working on a laptop for somebody.. Model: Sony Vaio PCG-9B3L.. She had pop ups and spyware and the "usual" stuff.. Another complaint was that her HDD was running out of room, so I look at My Computer and C Drive is about 7.5 gb, drive D is 11.1 gb total space. I assume D is for the image...

Hey everyone. I have someone who needs me to go in, do a complete format and re-installation of windows. Here's the scheme we want it to be: Windows XP (home OR Pro) Admin account password protected Account w/no password for her son Limits set on what sites he can go to No allowances for...

Sam, you may want to find a discussion board where people who play the same games as you post. There, you could ask them what sort of systems they have and what the specs are. I find that before upgrading my machine that I play my games on it helps to know what other (seasoned) players use...
