The only way I know is to restore them is by installing XP again because I tried using Software restore CD that came with the PC but no luck.I have one hard drive that is divided in 3 NTFS partitions. One of which has OS and other two partitions are data drives. If I try to format system partition in order to reinstall OS, will my other two data partitions remain intact?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing XP Pro - go to start, programs, accessories, entertainment, sound recorder. I have used this sound recorder to record a message that I wish to email to a few people. After recording the message, I save it to my desktop. I then go to my email account and attach the file that I have saved to my desktop. The problem seems to be that what I am attaching is actually the address to my desktop and not the actual recording I am trying to send. In other words, what I am sending directs to "C:Documents and SettingsDavidDesktop". Anyway, I would really like to solve this problem and send the recording that I have been trying to do. All help appreciated. Thank you.

"Another application is recording audio. Stop recording with this other application and then try to record with Sound Recorder again." I have turned off all of the start up programs, restarted my computer, and even uninstalled TotalRecorder, which I thought was causing the problem.

View 13 Replies View RelatedIf you get another hard drive cause yours is almost full and there fore messing with the virtual.memory. If you get an external harddrive is it better to move the pagefile to the new hard drive which is what I was going to do change the drive for the virtual memory, then I got thinking, in case you didn't use the external drive all the time hooked up for whatever reason they you wouldn't have a pagefile on the old one does that make sense? I thought maybe it would be better just to move a bunch of pics and music to the extenal drive and leave the virtual memory (pagefile) where it is on the old drive, or would it make any difference??

View 6 Replies View RelatedXP installed recently is working well, but there's a problem. Startup was taking a long time, and once the black screen w/ XP logo came up, it soon went away and just left a blank black screen. This time I waited, and window came up saying system would do a disk check. It did so quickly, and message said "F" drive (external Seagate 160MB HD), is FAT32. When installing XP, I chose NTFS. There are many docs & files on the external HD. In addition to installing XP, also installed Office 2003, a newer version than what the word & excel docs on external HD were created in. Previous OS was WinMe, current RAM is 512, 1 MHz processor, Dell desktop. Once system did the disk check, it stayed on that screen, so I shut down, turned off the external HD, and restarted. Everything came up fine, and very quickly. Is it possible to convert any of the files on the external HD to NTFS? Or is there a way to access, edit those files that won't conflict with my new OS?
