Installing old hard drive in new computer
by Guest agreen_78596- 5 replies

When I use an old IDE hard drive with pre-installed Windows XP Professional, my new computer doesn't recognize it. The computer works fine if I use an empty, formatted IDE hard drive and install Windows. The hard drive came from an older computer that had a different motherboard. Is there any way I can use the old hard drive (which has all of my programs) in the new computer? Or must I format the drive and reinstall Windows? The specs for my new computer are as follows: Motherboard: M2N-SLIDeluxe CPU: AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+ Graphics card: PNY Technologies GeForce 7300 GT Memory: Corsair 2Gbyte DDR2 Twin2X

Explorer erroneously deletes file before touching any drop-down op
by Guest theodore- 2 replies
- 336 views
Occasionally (but not always) when I right click on a file name in Explorer to get the drop-down menu, the file instantly disappears. It's not in the recycle bin, or anywhere else. This system is Windows XP Pro maintained to the latest maintenance and security levels. Currently I have to do backups before I touch any files, as there is no recoverability (that I know of).

Log-on password

Hi I am using Windows XP Pro. When I purchased my laptop last year, someone transferred all my settings and files from my old laptop. I find that I have to log on as user, not Administrator. That has not been a problem. However, I now wish to change the user password and would prefer that I be the Administrator rather than the user - after all, I am the only person using my laptop and all the files are mine. Is this possible, and, if so, how do I go about it? I am terrified of locking myself out of all my files! Also, I would like to set up a guest account which my overseas friends can use when they visit. Any assistance would be most appr…

CPU Resource Question
by Guest tempgal- 5 replies

Hi -- Be gentle, please. I'm not a techie and I'm pathetically old besides. My desktop computer is a 3.0ghz P4 with 1GB ram and plenty of GBs of unused space. The OS is WinXP Pro with SP2. I've used a powered 4-port USB hub for years. Recently I bought a second one and connected the second hub to the first. I did not connect the power supply to the second hub because, when I asked the vendor's tech support representative if both power supplies needed to be plugged in, he told me no, that Windows would notify me if more power was needed. I connected a new webcam to the second USB hub. Everything seemed to work fine until I installed encoder softwar…

Restore an image
by Guest Mav- 3 replies
- 386 views
Hi, I have been thinking about drive imaging software to use for backup, but I am concerned about the ability to restore an image after a hardware failure. If I create an image with say Norton Ghost, then have a motherboard failure, and have to replace it, if I then try to restore the image, am I right in thinking Windows will need to be reactivated? Then if I am using an OEM version, the licence would not cover me for a new motherboard? If so, I then have an image that I cannot use unless I can get hold of a motherboard of the exact same make & model. I hope that is not too confusing - I think I may be a little confused here myself, which doesn…
