View 7 Replies View RelatedMy old computer is a Dell Optiplex GX1 Pent3 with a fresh install of Windows 2000. My brother had been using it with Win 98 and a dialup connection and all was fine. Prior to that I had it on a DSL connection. Now I want to get it back online at home where I have a cable modem and my usual computer with a DLink router.I know the router and cable are ok because I just had another XP computer on it.Nothing I do will seem to connect the Windows 2000 Pro to the internet . I tried disabling the onboard LAN connection(a 3COM 3C918 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller and installing another LAN card but that didn't work either. I also connected it to the modem without the router.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhen a memory failure corrupted the OS. Compaq runs its setup from a special partition on the HD and Ive reloaded all of that from floppies. Setup says I have a 26.2GB HD but it is 60GB, otherwise all tests pass. In setup under storage the help file says I can select the boot sequence but I cant seem to find anyway to do this?? Id like to boot from the Win 2000 CD, I did make a boot floppy set from the 2000 CD but it dies on disk2 with a "isapnp.sys corrupt". Downloaded another makeboot.exe diskette set and get the same message. The original OS starts to load off the HD but stops with an error message and only allows a reboot. Can I move this HD to a slave on an XP system and load 2000 that way and then move back and configure the different hardware? Or just boot from the CD on my other PC and install

What is it about 2000 networking that is the trick to this? I have it set up to obtain an IP address automatically. By the way it is connecting to a wireless access point, not directly to the router. The access point is piggybacked off the main router.

I have 2 computers that i need to know what is the max hard drive size. One computer is running winME and the other is running Win2000. As for the win2000 i changed the registry for 48 bit LBA support in order to see my 320gb drive. The reason why I ask is because I'm planning to purchase a 750gb or 1tb external hard drive to backup my system. I don't want to purchase it to find that the system can only see 500gb or something like that. I'm gonna post this same post in the winMe area.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing WinXP-Pro-SP2 on a Dell XPS Gen2 running at 3.4GHz with 2GB RAM. Ever since I upgraded to SP2, command mode hasn't worked properly and it's driving me bonkers. Symptoms:
(1) Many of my BAT files no longer function properly. E.g. a simple BY.BAT with only EXIT in it does nothing.
(2) Every command entered, other than DOS built-ins, gets the response: 'C:Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file... and then sometimes the command executes and sometimes it doesn't.
(3) Good old 'DOSKEY' no longer works at all. I cannot get DOS to repeat the last entered command.....

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how I can search for folders using command prompt. But it's a little more complicated then just that. I have a huge list of folders in excel and I need to search in just those folders to see if there are folders in them. is there a command I can use to search for folders in each location? I was thinking I could use excel, with the list of folders i want to search through, then write the command to each folder and paste everything into notepad and save as a bat file. Then have the results go into a text file. This sounds complicated, but any help would be much appriciated
