Is there any way I can unpartition a drive? This one is partitioned in the middle of an old 40GB drive and there is ZERO data on the one side that I'd like to get rid of. I do not have any partitioning software installed on WinXP.

One of my computers (running XP Pro SP3) will not boot into Windows! I have no idea what caused this! It starts up, goes through the first part of the boot process, but will not boot into Windows, other than safe mode. When it gets to a certain point, it always reboots and starts over, never loading Windows at all. I've gone into the BIOS setup utility (Thinkpad R60), but cannot find anything to fix it there. I can boot into safe (regular, with networking, or command prompt) mode, but not into regular mode. While in safe mode I did a "System Restore", back to a restore point when the system was functioning. Yet still, it does not boot, other than…

Ok, so I´ve tried "bootcfg /rebuild", which results in a Fail, a message telling me that it´s not possible to search for windows installations and that Bootcfg can´t search the harddrive correctly. So i do chkdsk, and everything´s apparently fine. I´ve also tried the "expand d:\i386...hal.dll"-command, which results in a "can´t find file or cataloge". What to do?

My DVD drive does not read cd's. It used work occasionally but now not at all. The light goes on when the cd is inserted but then it cannot be read. I am trying to load music to my Ipod.

Good morning! I wanted to ask what the general consensus is with respect to deploying the 'latest and greatest' Windows Desktop Search software running on Terminal Server. Just to be clear - my opinion is that it really affects performance (in a negative way). Assuming that others have the same opinion is there anything that can be done (outside of removing it...). Thanks, Cary

Greetings, I have been experiencing a number of problems with Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) on my machine. At this point, I have re-installed the operating system half a dozen times with the same suspect behaviour, in spite of getting new install disks from the hardware vendor. So, now I am considering a low level format of the machine, but I am having a very hard time locating a boot disk containing the format or fdisk commands. Can anyone point me to where I could find these files, on this site, hopefully? Thank you. Jean-Pierre

morning all. In trying to resolve an Excel VBA programming issue, I was encouraged to find and install a script56.chm file. That's the actual name of the file. Go to the MS download library and type that name in, and you should call up numerous responses-- the first of which should be a link to download this file. I did so and have found that all I get is a page cannot be displayed error on the right side of the open file. The left side appears to work as normal, but I'm unable to read any of the data in the file. Since all of the contacts for MS are tied up in fee based responses, I'm hoping someone here can help. 1- my first thoughts are that…

All of a sudden, thumbnail picures under "My Pictures", have red exclamation marks or green check marks under them. When the pix open, the marks are gone, but this just started today. Any reason for this? I don't like changes and suprises. Jane

Tried searching on the web but found nothing for printing. Is there a way to print from an application to Word (like virtual printer)? Also looking for PDF to word converter. Haven't found free converters.
