View 5 Replies View RelatedSp3 HDD Swap - Remove The Old EIDE Drive And Boot
May 22, 2008I've purchased a WD 500gb SATA HDD to replace the near-full WD 80gb EIDE drive. My motherboard supports SATA and using XP's disk manager I've partitioned the new drive as E: and all is well with XP recognizing both drives. I've used Ghost 9.0 to export all of the data and files to the new drive, as well as making backup image files on DVD disks. The problem is when I remove the old EIDE drive and try to boot, XP hangs up and gives me the "blue screen of death". If I put the old drive back in, life's good again. I'm assuming that XP is hanging up because my SATA drive is still labeled E:, and XP's disk manager won't let me change E: to C:, or at least I can't figure out how to do it. I've got two questions: Has anyone used Ghost to export data from one disk to another disk, and is it OK to assume the transfer got all of the files required to make a boot disk? And, is there a work-around of some sort to make XP recognize my SATA drive as C: and boot from it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFax Dialing Rules - Outlook Contact Fax Numbers
Sep 17, 2005When I fax from my "Send Fax" wizard I choose a person from my Outlook contacts list ("Use Dialing Rules" box is checked), none of the Dialing Rules options seem to be able to make the fax dial a "1" before it dials the area code & phone number.
When I enter a tel or fax # in Outlook contacts by typing in the area code and number (xxx-xxx-xxxx) in the blank tel/fax field, it changes it immediately to the right form, (xxx) xxx-xxxx. BUT, it does not put the "+1" in front of the whole number to make it dial correctly when you choose this contact to fax with XP fax!! I have found that when I enter a fax or tel # in outlook contacts by clicking the button to show pop-up window where you enter the area code and tel # in separate fields, Outlook automatically puts a "+1" in front of the area code. THEN the XP fax dials correctly (1 + area code + fax #), even if dialing rules were not setup for that area code. I have a lot of cotacts with fax numbers already put in the first way I described above.

Oct 17, 2007I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question because it's not exactly a problem, but why is my system using 250 odd mb of swap file space when it's only using 67% of physical ram? I think I must have misunderstood the way it works because I thought that swap space was used when you 'run out' of physical ram, and that it was undesirable because it is alot less efficient using the hard drive for memory.

Feb 4, 2008I recently had motherboard problems with my computer.Swapped the motherboard for one given to me off a forum.The problem now is that on boot I get past the windows splash and get the BSOD.The error code was just a hex code for which google was not my friend.I could boot in safe mode (without cmd prompt or networking only), but I could not work out what the problem was.I have compounded the issue by using the XP install disc to perform a repair.All that has done is made it so i cannot boot in safe mode at all now due to the setup restriction with safe mode.I believe this is all to do with motherboard drivers that I need to fix.I probably need help in canceling the repair, and how to clean out the existing drivers.I have in the meantime installed Ubuntu to allow access to attempt repair.I would prefer not to have to do a full reinstallation if could be avoided.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMotherboard Swap On System
Aug 31, 2005My main XP Pro machine failed last night, with symptomology consistent with an actual failure of the motherboard. I'm going to try and attack it methodically tonight, but realistically I think the board will be "pining for the fjords.".I would like to take the primary disk from that machine, and cable it into the
old backup desktop machine in place of that machine's primary hard drive while I figure out what to do. That way I won't have to spend major amounts of time getting the Outlook .pst file moved and configured, not to mention all the other relatively important stuff sitting on that main machine.When I've done that in the past, that has always required a reinstall of Windows because the motherboards are totally different architectures and obviously take a different set of drivers and dlls and what have you.But I have a hunch this is not necessary if one knows the right tricks or perhaps how to run the mysterious Repair console.
Can anyone talk me through what I need to do in order to stick a hard drive with a good, running XP Pro installation onto a foreign machine? A second question: I run a small network at home cable modem into SMC .Barricade 4 port hub. The failing machine connects to the hub, as does a wireless router. I've found that when my primary machine is turned off (or in the case of this failure, is dead) that none of my networking works wired or wireless. I had to cable the backup desktop machine directly into the cable modem in order to have any connectivity. Just wired into the hub it waits forever for an IP address. I just don't understand what the main machine has to do with the networking process thought that was the job of the hub.
Swap Memory / How Much Is Needed?
Aug 18, 2009I've recently switched from Linux because it overheated my laptop. I installed Win XP SP 3. I partitioned my hdd in only 2 primary partitions, c and d. I don't know how to create the swap memory, as I did at Linux installation (at the first partioning). It appears that Windows did it already, because at Virtual Memory it says: minimum 2024 and maximum 4096 if I remember well, and allocated curently it is 2024MB. I don't know if it is ok, I didn't touch anything here. My RAM is 4 GB in Bios, but windows recognizes only 3 GB.
