What is the best way to wipe a hard drive, loaded with Vista, clean so that I can install Windows 2000 on it?? Do I just let the Windows install disk clean and format it?? Or is there some mystical hocus-pocus that needs to be performed?? Thanks. -- The Seabat GoogleGroups filtered with extreme prejudice.

Lost my Generic Text Printer Installation
by Guest George Hester- 8 replies

Hello. I was having trouble setting my default printer to something else besides the Generic Text Printer. I finally got my normal printer installed and tried to switch the default printer to that and away from the Generic Text Printer but it just would not work. So I decided to "delete" the Generic Text Printer and that is when the troubles began. It turns out I should have "uninstalled" the Generic Text Printer. As it is I wanted to put the Generic Text Printer back in but now it will not install. I get an error. And so it will not appear in Printers off the Control Panel. So now I am stuck. Is there a way to manually uninstall the Generic Text Printer? Maybe …

Can not shut down or restart computer.

Hi. I have a windows 2K Pro machine with all of the latest patches installed. I can not restart or shut down the machine. If I choose to restart or shut down, windows goes thru it's normal routine and closes everthing and then shuts itself down, however the computer will not turn "off" or "reboot" after this step. All that is left is either a black screen or a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner. In order to shut down I have to press and hold the power button. I checked the even log and couldn't find anything telling. Perhaps it's a bios setting? Anyway, pressing the power button to shut down is not the solution I'm looki…

Windows 2000 server - $Recycle.bin
by Guest Blaine- 2 replies
- 206 views
Hello everyone, I have a windows 2000 server that is acting as a file server. It has two volumes C: (system volume) and E: (data volume). Both the C and the E volume have the normal "recycler" system folder. On the E volume, however, in my home directory, there is a file called $Recycle.bin. What is this file doing, and why is it located here? Does anyone know? The bigger question is this, is it safe to delete this file? It is 9.6 GB, which would be nice to have available for other system activities.... Any info will be appreciated.

Hi, I am looking for a utility that could track the historical development of my harddisk. I know "Treesize"... that's basically a nice tool, but lacks a historical database. "DiscScout" is pretty nice... but I wonder if there is anything else that I could evaluate ? thx

Hi guys, Does anyone know how to permit Non-Administrators to change network configuration on Windows 2000? I'd like to give end users (a member of Users group) minimum permissions. Regarding as Windows XP or later, we have only to add users into "Network Configuration Operators" group. But we cannot do that on Windows 2000. Any comments would be much appreciated Thanks in advance, - Yasuhiko

Need to delete unmanageable Badmail directory 1 2
by Guest Charles Lavin- 31 replies

Hi -- I'm trying to clean up an Exchange 2000/Win 2000 (SP4) machine prior to a migration. This server is massively bogged down and almost out of disk space. One of the biggest issues is an Exchange Badmail folder that has what are probably millions of files. It doesn't seem like the prior IT manager ever cleaned out this folder, and this machine bounces back a ton of spam a day. Any attempt to open Badmail from Explorer usually results in Explorer hanging. Actually, you won't even get that far -- opening up its parent folder usually hangs Explorer. I navigated to the Badmail folder from a command prompt. I let a dir call scroll for about 20 minut…

New Install - Lost Data
by Guest HuggieJ- 8 replies
- 379 views
Long story, short - After getting the NTLDR missing error, and trying many different repairs, I decided to reinstall Win2k. As instructed, I made a different folder with the name winnt2. I've reloaded all the updates, etc. and got the system back to usable again, but have lost all the user data that I had on the sytem. My questions are: 1) did I truly lose the data, or is it on somewhere I just can't seem to access? 2) can I access this data and move it into the new install Sorry for the ignorance. I should have tried harder to repair the NTLDR problem, but ran out of patience. -- Regards, HuggieJ
