I'd like a copy of Windows XP for a virtual machine. With XP being a number of years old and computers with it therefore reaching the end of their lives, and with some people migrating to Vista, there must be a vast number of unused XP licenses floating around out there. Where can I purchase a used copy cheaply?

Where's Waldo? Where's My D-drive?
by Guest W. Watson- 12 replies

My D-drive seems to be missing. If I go to Control Panel->System->Devices, and look at Dis Drives, I see the drive. It's a 160G WesDig IDE. The properties entry shows it's OK. However, If I go to My Computer, there is no D:. Is it possible to hide it with Tools->Folder Options. I pushed on the power connector and cable, but that didn't help anything. When I look at BIOS, it detects both the two (C&D) HDs. Comments? -- Wayne Watson (Nevada City, CA) Web Page: <speckledwithStars.net>

USB Flash Drives creation of "ghost drive" letter
by Guest Dorset- 6 replies
- 360 views
Can any help? My laptop has C,D drives,E (CD drive). I add a flash drive which shows as F. If I add one additional flash drive at the same time this shows on the Control Panel as Removable Drive G and H (with the correct name for the USB flash drive). Clicking on Properties for G shows Full and H space available. I cannot transfer data to Drive H as the messages say the drive is full. I am therefore unable to use the USB flash drive due to the extra drive which does not exist. Can anyone tell me how to instruct the XP system to recognise the USB drive and get rid of "ghost drive" G? -- Hardy Country

I have reformatted my c: drive and re-installed Windows XP Home. After the installation was finished, I tried to log on for the first time, but got this error message " you cannot log on for the domain NAME is not available" - or words to that effect, my system in not in English. Googling on the subject took me to a microsoft TechNote that talked about changing the security policy. Only, I cannot change anything, for I cannot log on, can't get in at all. Note: the owner of the computer used to be called OLDNAME. I now used NAME. I did not think changing the name would matter, as I reformatted the hd. Can someone help me to get into the system? Thanks.…
