My hard disk has been replaced on my Toshiba laptop and I now need to use my ASR diskette and backup set. I have used the Toshiba Recovery CD and my new hard disk is as supplied from the shop with XP pre-installed. How do I use the ASR set to get it back to where it was before it crashed...

Satellite Pro 6100 running XP Professional. It will no longer boot from HDD. If I go into BIOS I can see on page 2 that it has no primary hard disk but I cannot get the cursor into that box to change the setting. Any one know how to fix it?

I have W2000 servers with a network of XP workstations. I recently applied SP4 to the W2000. Workstations have been SP1 since the installation. I have a script file that copies files from one server to another. This runs at the proper speed if run locally on the server or on any of the...

I have some slightly elderly Solo 2550 laptops that were delivered with W98 on them. I have got NT4 running on them with the aid of the drivers I found on the Support CD version 4.1. However the setup in the modem folder does not achieve the desired result. It installs the built-in modem...

My understanding of clocks and time in Unix is not complete. I am aware there seem to be three: 1. The BIOS clock time 2. The system time as calculated by Unix from BIOS clock 3. The environment time as adjusted by the TZ settings. What is the recommended method for ensuring a consistent...

I'm running 5.0.6 on a Compaq ML370 with DLT SCSI tape. My overnight backup script run from cron starts as follows: " T=/u/phswin/nightlog.log echo "`date` Starting tape backup" >>$T tape reset 2>>$T sleep 30 echo "`date` tape rewind" >>$T tape rewind 2>>$T sleep 30 tape...

I have copied many hundreds of documents from an old system running NT4 SP-5 with Office 97 onto a machine running XP Pro SP-1 with Word 2002 SP-2 from Office XP. A significant number of the documents take up to 30 seconds to open on the new machine. Many of perform them correctly. I have...

I have a cron script that worked perfectly on an earlier machine with DAT tape that intermittently fails on my new Compaq ML370 with SCSI DLT and 5.0.6. The script starts echo "`date` Starting tape backup" >> logfile tape reset sleep 30 tape rewind sleep 30 tape status and...

I have a small network based on W2K Server SP3 acting as DC in Active Directory and only 2 of the users (Mike & Pete) have Dial-in permission. These users are also restricted to logging in on their own machine - Mike on Laptop1 and Pete on Laptop2. The machine restriction works correctly...

Can I set up a W2000 server to provide a NTP Time Service to non-Windows boxes? How do I chack whether it is running and on what port? I have read the KB article on W32Time and set the registry keys to say it is a ReliableTimeSource and LocalNTP but cannot see it from a Unix box. I am getting...

I've read the threads and the Microsoft knowledge base article and I can't get it to work! I've set the W32Time registry keys to specify that it is a ReliableTimeSource and that it should always start the LocalNTP server. I use "ntpdate w2000.domain.org.uk" and it reports that it is...

I am running a SCO 5.0.6 server with SAMBA as a simple application server on a Windows network with W2000 on the Domain Controller and XP Pro on the workstations. I need to be sure that both servers are running at the same local time even when the clocks change and I do not trust both operating...

I rebooted the system from a telnet session on a pseudo terminal and now I've lost the login prompts on the console. I last made this mistake 5 years ago and I've forgotten the simple trick to get them back. Please can someone remind an old man :-)

I have broken my calendar service and it fails to start with a fatal error and the following in calsrvrlog: "ERRNO = 9, T_ERRNO = 0, ISERRNO = 117 unable to open '/usr/lib/sco/oadb/caldata/event' database files" and yes I have changed my system locale since I installed! Do I need the...

I have broken scologin and cannot see where! The story so far – I installed SCO5.0.6 and supplement 5.06a and all was well. I then tried to get SAMBA working and it was short of a library. I turned to SCO Skunkware and tried a few selective installs but it didn’t bring the library in so...

Does anyone know where I can download it from or else let me have a copy? It is no longer in SCO's ftp library.

ta110746 which tells me how to install SLS APP336C on OpenServer 5.06 running FoxBASE but stresses how important it is to also follow the instructions in ta110515 which is necessary to enable foxBASE to recognise year 2000 as a leap year. I've tried searching the Knowledge Base but I'm doing...
