Aug 13, 2005I have setup a second hard drive for data storage only (no OS) and have allocated all availables space under a single extended partition to make future expansion as painless as possible. I have divided the extended
partition into three logical partitons, whose volume labels are now highlighted in blue in My Computer. The same happens to all files and folders that are now stored in these logical partitions.
Multi Partition Boot / Multi OS Install
Jan 11, 2006Recently I reinstalled the OS on my computer. It was shipped with Windows XP HE SP2, but I formatted and put Win98 onto the system. Needless to say, it froze up at the Windows splash screen. So, I uninstalled it and put XP back on. My question here is, is there any possible way to put Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows XP all on one hard drive, and it work? I know how to partition the hard drive accordingly for the deed, it's getting the computer to actually run 95, 98, and 3.1. I'm cheating fate here, since I know 3.1 probably won't run on my 32-bit structure system, but it's worth a try. My system is a Dell Dimension 4700 with 3.0 gHz CPU, 256 mb of RAM, and an nVidia 64 mb video card.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMulti User Logon Access To Certain Files Programs
Feb 9, 2006setting up more than one user logon for windows xp home edition w/ sp2 installed (using fat32). What I would like to acheive (if possible) is to limit my teenagers (2) access to certain files and programs. More specifically programs such as windows explorer (including right-click on START button), access to the "RUN" command, control panel, and other system controlling programs. I have searched on C-Net and microsoft, finding bits and peices but not all together in 1 post and not a step by step. I am not afraid to edit the registry.Also I do not want to convert this comp to ntfs (unless there is a way to back up a massive amount of data without a cd/dvd burner, as I am under the impression that a re-install of XP and reformatting of hard drive is required to switch to ntfs). What would be ideal (and maybe easier to do?) would be to have teenage-user1 and teenage-user2 logon bring up only a desktop with no taskbar and/or START button, thus allowing only access to the programs that I shortcut to the desktop (this thought just occurred to me while typing this).
These children are 15 and 16 and are smart enough to type a google search for password/registry/command prompt hacks and crackers and such. I haven't seen anything in regaurds to what I am looking for all on 1 system or complete in 1 post/step-by-step. Possibly I am not typing the correct search words, but seems alot of text for a search ( am not typing "the" "and" etc. and am using/trying as many buzzwords as I can think of...) and I get no way too much irrelavent and sometimes confusing info or no matches at all. I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill with how I want to do this, as it probably has been done before, if so a link(s) would be much appreciated as would any advice from "seasoned/in-the-know" users/programmers.

Nov 29, 2006How many of you here use multi languages on the PC? I am having a BIG PROBLEM with the Language Tool Bar. I've been using English an Japanese on my PC and this never happened.I used the Microsoft Office 2003 Language Setting to "add" Japanese and it's been running fine. But today, all the sudden, the Language Tool Bar disappeared. Language Tool Bar = The bar appears automatically on the screen when you are using multi languages on the PC.If the Language Tool Bar is in inactive, it's restored on the Left-Bottom of the screen. Eng for English, Jp for Japanese. So I tried removing the settings and re-added, re-started, nothing happened. Also I tried Control Panel, Regions and Language Setting, added Japanese (it was already added), nothing happens.In fact, if I see the current settings, there are English and Japanese there! I tried Spybot and Ad-aware to see if any problem. Then re-started, result, same. Updated IE to 7.0, result, same.I didn't change any settings today, no new downloads or installations before this problem occurred.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow To Performance With Multi Users?
Aug 17, 2005I have to do a complete wipe and reinstallation of XP. It runs slow,reasons unknown. Anyway, on the old system, we had 2 users, both with administrative privileges. I need to know whether multiple users will cause the performance to drop in a major way. I understand the answer is yes IF both users remain active with programs running. But, we close our programs and log off completely when we switch users. Will multiple users on a system bog it down if only one user has programs running and the other user is logged off?

Apr 4, 2006I have a compact laptop bought second hand but has problems.
1) Firstly when it is switched on it asks to choose between either windows 98 or windows 2000 pro (the one i want to use)
2) On loading up windows 2000 it works fine however when i try to use many options such as; volume control, disk cleanup, msconfig, majority of .exe files etc it says "access to file denied" or "cannot find the file "xxx". make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available" - this is despite the file it is looking for being the one I want to use.
3) On searching futher I noticed that in my computer along with the usual WINDOWS directory. I have 2 other operating system folders in their entirity. WindowsNT and Windows 98 - I think that having all systems on my computer must be reason for it not working
4) I have tried to uninstall windows 98 using its own uninstall program however get the message "cannont find "xxx" etc
5) I have a feeling the windowsNT is just cd contents and ahs not been setup properly and could therefore simply deleted but I ahve not done so just in case
6) If i begin the laptop ion windows 98 much more works, including sound etc, however the uninstall still does not.
7) Misc problem - I cannot install any more programs when running windows 2000.
Booting Multi Operating Systems
Jan 19, 2005Everything was lovely with my boot.ini file,I have XP Home, XP Pro, Longhorn and Windows 98SE. All on one hard drive, different partitions, of course.I installed Windows ME ( not sure what gave me that brilliant idea)and now my boot menu is messed up. It initially eliminated 98 and put Windows ME there, so I added 98 back, but if I choose 98 it still goes to ME, which is on an external hard drive. I installed ME by booting with a 98 bootdisk with cdrom support, and installed ME to the external drive.Is there any way of getting my 98 boot option back? 98 is still on my main drive, I can see it, I just can't boot to it

Aug 7, 2007how System Restore works in a multi-boot environment? (I am not concerned with Vista, but with WinXP only).If I have O/S A and B, and I perform a System Restore in O/S A, is there any possibility that O/S B will also get rolled back to the same date? In O/S A, should I allow System Restore to monitor the O/S B partition, or should I switch off System Restore on that drive?
