I installed an internal SATA drive. Now the "Safely remove hardware" icon is always in the system tray with an option to remove this hard drive.
How can I get rid off in this menu? It does not make sense to remove an internal drive; nor does it to remove the system drive.
Thanks!
a few years ago, Maxtor has "Acoustic Managemnet" and provide a tool to change the setting.
The tool is now gone. Do they still do the same with the new Maxline SATA drives?
Thanks!
I used MaxBlast 4 Windows to clone a boot partition to a new drive. XP SP2 boots successfully and things seem to work. However, I noticed a couple of problems afterward.
1. All adobe apps needs re-activation
2. Quite a lot icons disappear. For example, all office files
3. Those shortcuts...
I used MaxBlast to copy the boot partition to the new drive. It books fine. However, a few shortcuts lost their icons, mainly the microsoft office ones. Properties on the shortcut has the icon button greyed out.
Anyway to rebuild them properly?
Thanks!
Which software can be used to clone an IDE hard drive to SATA hard drive?
The IDE HD is 160GB with about 40 GB data (incl. XP installation). The target is a 250GB SATA (OEM with no software). I would like to make a 100GB partition on the target drive and copy the IDE drive.
Which software...
I just upgraded to A64. A stupid question:
How can I adjust CPU speed? Cool'n'Quiet is heavily advertised. But I can't find any information about how to adjust the settings.

What is the best way to move XP from a PATA drive to SATA drive?
My plan is to use repair installation. My main concern is the F6 floppy during XP CD bootup. Do I have to have a floppy? Will a CD or USB flash drive do?
Thanks!
How can I make a bootable USB flash drive? I have the disk image for floppy and the motherboard supports boot from USB.
What about those special bootable disk like mem-test 86?
Thanks!
I had red dot/short-line appearing on the screen when I move or resize a window. It also happens in other situations such as simple line-by-line scrolling, but not page up or down.
I've cleaned the card and its fan, replugged its cable. But it did not help.
When I turn off hardware...
I kept having problem with red dot/line appearing on the screen when scrolling. I wonder if there is a fix via some BIOS update. Thanks!

How do I set up IntelliPoint 5.2 to scroll one page at a time with the wheel?
I used to change it in TweakUI. But now every time it reboots, it resets to 10 lines at a time. I've gone with every tab in Control Panel -> Mouse. What can I do?
Thanks!
When I put in a CD or flash drive, XP will pop up ask me what to do. I normally choose sth like "Open folder" and "Always". This will work most of time. However, some time later, seems to be after I change the drive letter, it no longer asks me or open the folder. The insertion of the disc...
I tried to go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Privacy -> Advanced. Set both cookies to "Accept" or "Prompt". But it does not help. It always rejects cookie without prompting. I can't log in any where.
Any suggestion on what went wrong?
Thanks!
My PC admin has disabled the USB Mass Storage. Plug in a USB flash drive and it won't show up in My Computer. The device manager shows the drive with a yellow mark. Trying to reinstall driver leads to access denied message -- I do have local admin right.
How can I enable the USB flash drive...
When a MP3 file is selected, the status bar will show some information about the file, incl. artist and album. However, it does not show title. Is there a way to enable it?
Is there any way to set up time-based power scheme? Or is there any utilities to do that?
For example
9am-5pm: always on
10pm-9am: enable stand by
Thanks!
