Legacy Windows Archive ( Read Only )

I have tried to follow the numerous microsoft help articles on this issue. My problems are as follows: 1: It is not prompting me to select a windows configuration 2: I cannot use the dir or cd options when I am in the repair console 3: When I type dir i get the following error message: an error occurred during directory enumeration I can re-install another copy of windows if I have to.. but I would really like to learn how to fix this issue. I guess I have some sickness where I have to be able to fix problems. Thanks everyone in advance

Hi Folks, I've "inherited" a 2-year-old Dell Dimension 9100 with Windows XP Pro SP2 and Office 2003. Although Norton Internet Security is current, it appears that neither Windows XP nor MS Office have ever been updated. A visit to the Microsoft Update site reveals that I require 81 critical updates (175.4 MB , 1 hour 9 minutes) to get this system up to snuff. Should I download ALL of these at once or should I install them in batches, say 10 updates at a time? Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks. Phil PS If there is a more appropriate group for this question, please advise.

Learned from various sources including the thread I started here, "Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?" Let me start with an explanation of "the Hard Way". I have a P5NSLI ASUS motherboard that supports both IDE and SATA controllers. The key word is "both". I wanted to install W2K on the STATA HD, a 320G WS SATA drive. I had some fun trying to get to a point where the OS install asked how I wanted to partition the drive. I was stumped by this window that came up in the install: ============================== 76294 MB Dis 0k on bus 0 on atapi C:NIFS(Drv1_main) 76003MB<6360MB Free D:FAT32(Drv1_extra) 290MB<237MB Free 131070MB Disk 0 at at 0? on?…

I have XP Pro, SR2 etc...all updates, use WD, and OneCare. However, OneCare remains in the RED (warning me until I'm ready to demand my $ back that my computer's AT RISK), because I have not downloaded IE7, and do my own backups monthly. Additionally, it defrags every time it performs a scan. That is not good for my HD, imho. what's going on with MS? I am only using 26% of my main drive incl all docs, programs, etc. I've had to do a clean re-install of XP Pro twice in the past year. This is getting ridiculous.

Hello When I type the IPCONFIG command on a Wireless connection, I get the following error: Windows IP Configuration An internal error occurred: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help. Additional information: Unknown media status code This only happens in the wireless mode. If I plug the laptop to LAN connection, the command works fine - gives me the IP address for both the LAN port and the wireless connection. What could be wrong? Thanks, Hassan

I have a system running XP Pro SP2 with 2 shared folders and a shared printer that the other computers in the workgroup (all XP Pro SP2) need to access. The shared folders are mapped as drives on all the other computers. We have been having a problem with the computer with the shared drives disappearing from the network along with the shared printer. If we reboot the computer it will usually reappear on the network. I have checked to see if there are any scheduled tasks that might be running that would cause the problem but there doesn't seem to be. Any help will be appreciated. TIA, Gregg

What is this that shows up in the system32 folder and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OLE? HijackThis posts in forums go unanswered and web searching reveals zilch. I'll appreciate any and all help! -- If you have not learned from your mistakes, you are doomed to repeat them!

I am experiencing a problem with one of my windows 2000 servers. Its role is file server and print server. It is running on IBM blade with SAN storage. It doesn't response during production hour and found out that I have to do a hard reboot. When booting into the server, it runs the 3 stages check (which is similar to chkdsk /F). I am able to run my server again and everything is running normal. I found Event ID: 55 "The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:" in event viewer. I have encountered this problem with different servers in different companies, but never really find out why…

I know this is the wrong Newsgroup, but IE NG's have been disabled or something. My problem is that the Temporary Internet Files for IE7 has been specified as a System Folder, but only under my profile. I have familiarity with the "attrib -s" command, but do not know how to make a folder a non-system folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you, BW

Suppose you tryed to do something but discovered you could not. You try latter and discover you can. In other words, you initially find a problem but when you try later you discover there is no problem. Situation 1 I boot partition G, which contains Wxp, and after awhile I try to run a game, which has always run before, but this time the game starts-up then the desktop appears. I try to run the game repeatedly but the results are the same. I shut-down then boot partition F where I work there for awhile. I then shut-down F and boot G. At G, I try to run the game and discover that it runs just fine. Situation 2 I boot partition H, which contain…

I have a problem which I hope someone can help me with, Starting up my computer today i logged into my user name and quickly noticed that nothing was showing up... All I saw was my wallpaper, that means I have no icons or even the bar on the bottom of my screen. :( I'm not all knowing in computers or its software especially but i believe that my files still exist as i tried to run some of them but with no luck they didn't appear to open... Wondering What can be done, Yours truly ~Me~

Re: Toolbars I downloaded the latest security updates on Tuesday. I have two user accounts, myself, and another. Whoever logs in first gets the toolbar at the bottom of the screeen, start, icons, etc. Once the second user logs in, the toolbar at the bottom is dark blue, and I can't get to anything. When I try to log off, the screen goes blank, and takes about 5 minutes to actually log off back to the first user. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just installed a new hard drive and cloned the old one. Now, while trying to stop a USB flash drive, the message pops up, "An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel file c:\winnt\system32\hotplug.dll" while using the remove icon; and the same message with "hdwwiz.cpl" when using "add/remove hardware" in CP. If I just remove the flash drive, I, of course, receive the "unsafe removal" message. Does anyone have any suggestions?
