Do you have two physical hard drives, or is your hard drive partitioned into seperate "drives"? If it's partitioned, make sure you don't repartition it (i.e. FDISK).
I took a look at the Windows XP bootable CD (gotta love Virtual PC
) and it appears to allow you to choose a partition to install to. In that case, as long as you don't select D: as your installation target, the files on D: shouldn't be erased. Disclaimer: As always, the best plan is to have a backup on removeable media (CD-R is the most common) just in case something goes wrong.
-
The Windows XP setup program has an option for reformatting your drive IIRC. You would lose all your personal data files, though, unless you already had a backup.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here. Have fun browsing the forums

Will it maybe help if I copy the file from the Windows that works to the Windows that doesn't work?
That's the only thing I could think of
Other than doing some Googling for 'lsass.exe error' and maybe the error code (if applicable) that you are seeing. -

Hmm, that's a good idea.
I'll add it to my backburner list. -
Good idea.
I've thought about incorporating RSS into some new stuff that will be released soon, but didn't think about setting up a "feed" for the whole board.If this was implemented, it'd probably be after the "mighty IPB2.0 upgrade" (
) is complete. -
Yeah, I play Galactic Conquest and really like it.
Battlefront looks like a ripoff of GC I've only seen the original SW movies and the two newer episodes; but not the remastered original versions. I'll probably end up seeing them sometime.

Moved.

I'll get NAV tomorrow from a schoolmate, so I'll try to run that. Will post tomorrow how it went.
Alright, sounds good.

Um... File -> New Tab works for me.
Ah, but Ctrl - T (or a quick down-up swipe with Mouse Gestures installed) is much quicker.

The bootdisk you use doesn't depend on your version of Windows. I used a Windows ME bootdisk to get to DOS on a Windows XP-based machine just recently.
If you have your Windows XP setup CD, you might want to try running the "repair" installation I mentioned earlier. If you do, be sure to follow the steps on the website clsoely; there are some "gotchas" you have to watch out for.
-
You could try to repair Windows: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm. Or, you could try booting off a live CD such as Knoppix; that requires burning a CD (in Windows) though
The boot disks you found are primarily for Windows setup, AFAIK. You could try a different bootdisk and put a relevant virus removal utility (such as tools for Blaster, Sasser, or Welchia) on the disk - though I'm not entirely sure the tools will run under DOS.
-
You running a firewall? Sounds like a variant of the Blaster worm or a similiar RPC-hijacking virus such as Sasser.
Do you have a commercial anti-virus application such as Norton or McAfee? Usually they provide a DOS bootup disk that can scan for viruses from DOS, without booting Windows. (You could also use McAfee Stinger, but it requires Windows to run)
See this webpage: Why is Remote Procedure Call shutting down my computer after 60 seconds?
That page has detailed information on how to fix your problem.
Try following the instructions on the above page and doing full virus and spyware scans. I'll wager that'll fix a good deal of your problems
-
It was probably the Windows icon cache. Windows stores a copy of the recently used icons in a cache, so they don't have to be reloaded every time you view them. Sometimes the cache needs to be cleared in the case of weird problems like this.
Glad you fixed it!
:) -
That's going to be tough, I'm afriad
I've looked around and all I can find for free are NTFS readers.What are you trying to do that requires NTFS under DOS? Perhaps there's a different way to do it?
-
I believe it stands for "Western Digital Corporation".
-
WD = Western Digital, AAM = Automatic Acoustic Management
The only reason to mess with the AAM settings would be if your drive performance was really lagging and/or the drive was too loud. (As a matter of fact, I might try the Maxtor AAM utility on my Maxtor 120GB drive, it's l-o-u-d
) -
'Tis post 5900, yahoo!
-
Regarding the first, what make/model is your hard drive? Acoustic Management is a technique to trade drive performance for noise level. Sometimes (AFAIK), the performance isn't all that impaired. Ususally, you can find a tool at your hard drive manufacturer's website to disable or enable Acoustic Management.
As for the second, it looks as if Sandra thinks it bad not to provide a company name during Windows installation
You can change the text with one of the tools it mentioned. -

Rock on, Firefox! -
Quick edit of your post for language
As with any software patch, some certain configurations will have problems. I haven't had any though

I installed SP2 a month or so ago and have not had any problems at all. What types of application problems were you having exactly, Brian?
I wasn't aware of a connection limit introduced - I'll have to check up on that.
Spread Firefox!
