Could a faulty HDD be the cause of a slow system? Whenever I use Cinema 4D to build 3D scenes my system grinds to a halt. Admittedly the scenes are fairly big but on other computers it is never as bad as on mine. To see if it would help I formatted the system as there was a lot of unnecessary...

I am reformatting my HDD and I am getting a 'Your drive may be damaged' error message whenever I do a Full Format using NTFS. If I do a quick format it seems to be ok though. How can I do a drive integrity check without an operating system? I assume I need to do it from a floppy disk or CD...

If I upload a file and it is interrupted half way through would the resulting download be incomplete i.e. pieces missing or corrupted? I think it would be corrupted personally. My question stems from a problem that my client is having when uploading a Powerpoint presentation using my Content...

Can anyone suggest where I might find a book on the workings of Windows Server 2003 Web Edition? All the book available for Windows 2003 in its various flavours simply tell me that 'The Web Edition is significantly different and is NOT covered in this book.' Well if it is so different why can I...

Can someone explain Data Type lengths to me? From what I can tell the meaning of the word Length depends on the actual datatype being used. Is this correct? For instance if I use a VARCHAR of length 200 it literally means 200 characters. If I use an INT of Length 4 does this mean a maximum...

I am using a DLINK DSL 504T broadband router to supply 4/5 computers in my house and up until last week everything was fine. After trying to set up Port Forwarding on my router though I properly messed up my connection. I therefore deleted it and recreated it and ever since then none of the...

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question. If a websites Nameserver is showing as being nameserver.domain.com through the WhoIs records does this mean that any other website who's nameservers are the same will be being hosted by the same company or not? I assume that in...

I have installed Windows 2003 along with IIS and am using my ADSL connection to serve web pages. This is only really for experimentation as I realise many of the disadvantages of hosting via a normal ADSL conection. When I initially set up Port Forwarding on my router to forward Port 80...

I am trying to install a demo copy of Windows 2003 Server but whenever I reach the point where the setup finishes loading the initial files, just before you get the 'Press F8 to agree to the licence' screen the computer instantly shuts down and a two-tone alarm sound is emitted from the...

I am populating a DropDownList via a Dataset. When the user selects an Item in the DDL he is given the option of deleting this record from the Database. The problem I am experiencing is that when the user clicks the DELETE button it calls a Sub which deletes the record as the page reloads...
