How much HD space would be needed to install NT server 4.0 and all of it's service packs? Best guesses are also welcomed and more than 1 response as well.
Also, How long should it take for Pentium 4 PC running XP Pro take to boot up?
Just got a new PC, but don't like Win.7 much, everything works OK, but far too complicated for my simple needs, Still got my old legal Disk for Win. XP, and would like to copy it to a removeable Hard Drive, and use that instead. I don't want to partition my new Win.7 Disk, in case of conflicts.Does anyone know how much space a basic Win.XP Home Edition Disk takes up on a Hard Drive? I should then be able to upgrade it to Service Pack 3, to match my old one, and use that. I would then be able to go back onto my Win.7 PC, when and if I fancy it, without any problem.

I must need a ton of updates, patches, etc- how do I determine what I need in order to get current when MS's own scan says I don't need anything?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have tried 3 times to do an XP Repair Install recently - all resulting in shutting down the system with the power switch (have completed it successfully in the past), but after the reboot, the XP Repair Install only gets as far as the Progress bar Window that appears briefly before the Login Window and hangs with the progress bar continuing across the screen, but never continuing the Reinstall any further. With my WinXP Pro SP2 hard drive mounted on my Linux FC3 system with an NTFS driver installed, I copied (recursively) all of the important folders onto Linux where I can create an ISO9660 filesystem image (.iso) file (multiple CDs) that can be used to recreate the information on a new Parallel Install of WinXP Pro SP2.
While attempting to initiate a Parallel Install (in the same partition) which would necessitate a new non-existing folder,e.g. C:WinXP, instead of C:Windows for installation, it occured to me that I was not certain whether: C:Documents and Settings and C:Program Files would survive (if doing the Parallel Install in the same partition).
I am guessing that they would NOT survive - just looking for confirmation on this fact, so can anyone confirm that?
I am also guessing that for those folders to survive a Parallel Install that I would have to create a new partition in which to load the Parallel Install (Have lots of GBs on the WinXP Pro SP2 disk, however, most of the disk is partitioned for C:)- can anyone confirm that also?........

View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving a problem with the install of Service Pack 3. The update keeps picking it up but halfway through the install a popup appears to say " an additional download is needed to complete the installation.Install service pack 3 again " . Well I have installed 6 times now and the same happens every time, it doesn't say what the additional download is or where to get it from. I'm running XP which has been taking forever to start up up recently ( about 15 mins ) don't know if it's related or not?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an older server, manufacturer unknown, that was running Windows 2000 server with all the latest service packs. It was being used as a Citrix server in our environment. The server was put in before my time here and I saw that somebody had changed the C: to a M:We have since taken the server off the network and plan on using it as an internal file server. For some reason, I am unable to install a clean copy of Windows 2000 or 2000 advanced server on it.I have tried to wipe the disk clean with DBAN and KILLDISK and WIPEDRIVE but all just hang on the system.I have a Windows 98 startup disk that I was able to boot from and ran an FDISK.I was also able to format the C:.When I am in DOS and switch to the C: I type in Dir and it comes up with no files found.I checked the partitions in FDISK and it shows the Primary Partition as being active and shows the correct amount of disk space. Whenever I try to install Windows 2000 Advanced Server the system goes through the process of checking the files and gets to the point to begin installation. When I try to install the operating system, the next screen comes up saying it cannot find the hard drive.This is very frustrating as I know the C: is there as I can see it from DOS and it looks to be configured properly.

I know I can do this with Ghost and sysprep and save the images onto a hard drive and use ghost cast server to deploy. However, he wants me to make a cd of Windows to self install without the use of ghost. He thought I could make an ISO of a ghost file and that would run. I told him that would never work. Is there a way to make this work via sysprep? I have all legal licensing as this is an enterprise license.

Right-click databases -> Restore Database
I mark 'from device', click the '...' button & select 'File' in the dropdown, then brows to the file itself. Under 'select the backup sets to restore' I check the only checkbox there, then in the 'To Database' I select the name of the database in the file (a new DB name appears there as you select the file).
xp pro sp3 and all additional MS updates. New install with the same apps and its at 11.9gig. Previous installs it was 7gig. This is C partition. All my personal files, downloads, favorites, etc are on D partition. Partitions made using the xp pro install disk, just like I did on previous installs. New HDD too, using NTFS just like before. Only extra apps is skype (31.75meg) and I dont currently have Thunderbird installed, but did before.
If I click on an email link it opens outlook, even though it was not installed. I did double check add/remove programs and OE was not checked and it listed 0.0 MB. I then installed OE and after reboot, its checked but still lists 0.0 MB. Most apps listed whether checked or not list 0.0 MB. Some apps whether installed or not installed list sizes over 0.0 MB. Also, under Network Connections there is LAN or High Speed Network~Local Area Connection 3, as before(except for the 3), but now a new Internet Gateway~Internet Connection, which I've never seen before. Its properties listed uTorrent twice and Skyipe twice. Ive had Utorrent installed before, but this is my first time using Skype. Whats Internet Gateway~Internet Connection? If I un-check Skype and or UTorrent(twice), close properties, then open it back up, they are all checked again.
XP Pro SP2, all latest updates. When I reboot, I can correctly sync to a time server, but after an unknown amount of time it goes back to saying "The RPC server is unavailable" instantly after clicking Update Now, regardless of what server I tell it to sync to. I also noticed that if I view my nForce Networking Controller status, then click Properties and go to the Authentication tab, everything is greyed out. If I hit OK without changing anything (I can't change it even if I wanted to), a message pops up saying "An unexpected condition occured. Not all of your requested changes in settings could be made" and just goes back to that window. I have to hit cancel to close it

I just installed XP on a new 106GB HD. Somehow I created a primary partition of 7.81GB letter I. That left me 141.23 GB of unallocated disk space. I've already installed my OS and most of my software and other peripherals. That's obviously used most of the 8GB of the primary. The unallocated part of the drive isn't assigned a drive letter so I'm hoping that helps me. I don't need a partition or if I have to have one a small one is fine. I thought the 8GB would be good for the OS with some extra, but I'm real concerned about all that unused space. I did a google and did learn about right clicking on the unallocated side and selecting new partition and taking it from there. I was just a little concerned about making a 2nd mistake. A little frazzled as this is all within 3 hours.
