View 9 Replies View Relatedmore precisely, what leads XP to decide what is removable and what isn't? Example: System 1 is a P4 built in a Shuttle SFF case with the provided MB; 1 SATA hard disk with three partitions, 1 DVD-ROM on PATA, 1 floppy on floppy channel, 1 multi-format flash reader on USB; the system sees two of the flash slots as removable storage. System 2 is an Athlon 64 built on an Epox Nvidia+ MB. 1 SATA hard disk (with two partitions), 1 SATA DVD-ROM (using a bridge adapter), 4 hard disks on PATA, 1 floppy on floppy channel, 1 multi-format flash reader on USB; the system sees _both_ SATA drives as being removable along with two of the flash slots. Either system properly sees an external hard disk on USB or Firewire as being removable.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a HP Pavilion a250Y running a Pentium 4 with WinXP Home.
The "installed" 80GB HD has had it's boot sector scrambled and will no longer boot up. I installed a second 20GB HD from a previous HP computer that I now have up and running with Win XP Home. I want to reformat the 80GB HD and would like to temporarily store data from this drive onto the 20GB HD. The main concern I have is that the larger drive is formated in NTSF and the smaller in FAT32.
Questions:
#1 Can I store the NTSF data on the FAT32 drive just to keep it protected with only the intent to transfer it back to the 80GB HD after reformating?
I have just re-installed Windows XP Professional SP2 to a blank hard drive.I have re-installed Fax console. I would like to import the sent faxes, the received faxes, and the fax address book from the old drive (which is still perfectly workable). In what subdirectory are these items to be found? What are their filenames (or what is the template for the filenames)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an application that uses the environment variable ClientName to store some information. It looks like this env. variable is set in the registry in the hkcu hive. It is set for console, is this some sort of default and can I change it? Do I have to change it here or is there a control panel somewhere that handles this setting? I first looked in the System control panel, under Environment Variables but didn't see it there at all. I want to set this to the machine name cause I have a number of identical systems and they are currently all set the same, I'd like them unique.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Win XP Pro SP2 I also have an external Lacie 250GB hard disk I want to store my Virtual PC files on. But, it is formatted at FAT32 and I can't put a file on there that is over 4GB. So, I tried to convert the drive to NTFS, but Windows won't let me do this. It keeps telling me the disk is dirty and to run chkdsk / f. Which I have done and completes fine finding no problems on the drive. Yet convert e: /fs:NTFS still does not convert the drive reporting it is dirty. What is causing this and how do I fix it? I have tons of data on the drive so I can't re-partition it as I don't want to loose that data. I need to convert it to NTFS.
View 6 Replies View Relatedcomputer has become infected with a virus. What i was going to do was reinstall XP and just start over. My mom had some word documents that she wanted to keep backed up. My question was if it would be safe to put these word files on a flash drive, or even connect my flash drive, and then put those files on the new installation. i also had nod 32 installed. should i scan the files with that before? and should i boot it in safe mode before doing the transfer?

Just discovered that along with Local Disk "C", DVD-RW "D" and "CD" E drive. I now have 4 new "Removable" drives FGHI. Dont know where they came from, but every time I start or re-start my PC the "SafelyRemove Hardware" icon appears in the right bottom of my screen. Cant get rid of it, and where did these removable drives come from???
View 4 Replies View RelatedCan you create a pagefile.sys on removable HDD's? I apparently cannot. I wanted to set an initial and max Pagefile amount of 500MB to 750MB each across all drives except C. Even though the system "seems" to have set the amount of space I allocated in the Virtual Memory section, it has created only ONE 500MB pagefile.sys on my H (fixed) drive. That amount is confirmed on the Advanced Tab for Performance Options section by the statement "Total Paging File For All Drives: 500". I have set a small initial and max amount of 2MB to 50MB on my system drive (C) which is recommended since you do not want a large swap file on the same HDD as your OS, but that does not show neither. Why did the system not create the other Swap Files? Does it have to need it before it creates it?
View 15 Replies View RelatedI have a computer used for weekly backups that will utilize a removable hard drive that gets swapped out every week for offsite storage. In this case, I will have two of these removable hard drives, only one of which will be in use at any time, swapping in and out with each other every week.Since these hard drives will also contain the OS, how do I deal with XP licensing and authentication? Since there's only *one* computer, can I install and authorize a single copy of XP (Pro) on both removable hard drives? It seems unfair I would have to buy two copies of XP if only one is going to be used on the single computer at any given time.

One is for MemoryStick, another is SD Cards, CompactFlash, etc. Would it be alright to rename these to something more recognizable at a glance? (for example, rename "Removable Disk (H)" to "SD Card") Or will it somehow mess up the way the drives read the cards?

I'm creating this topic on behalf of a friend; basically, his CD drive, his ipod, and every removable storage device is no longer showing up within Windows XP after he recently installed a program called "u3". The drives do not show up in my computer or device manager. He has since removed the program to no avail. I've never had a problem like this so I'm unsure how to diagnose it

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to use several removable hard drive bays on several PCs.Then have a hard drive with XP on it and take it with me to each machine as I need to. It does not need to hot-swap and I doubt I am breaching the Microsoft EULA because I could only use it on one PC at a time.I believe that the activation is based on points gathered from the items installed in each PC it is installed on and they would differ from PC to PC. Especially things like the NIC with it's own MAC address.
