    Question about lifting weights

    Most any of the heart rate monitors do well enough for a beginner. I'd stick to a two-piece unit: strap that goes around the chest & a watchband for the display. The strictly watchbands that monitor your rate at the wrist will be less accurate.

    What's the best mp3 player to use while working out?

    I'm quite happy with my Diva Player. It's not the cheapest out there but it sounds good & has shown to be fairly durable even after being dropped on the treadmill & flying off into another treadmill. It can also act as a removable storage device for other types of files.

    Question about running...

    I wouldn't worry about your knees. Knee degregation doesn't happen over night. If you start having chronic pains- slow down, change your jogging style or type of material you jog on, try different shoes, and if all else fails, go visit a sports doctor.

    Question about lifting weights

    Try a split routine to let each muscle group recover: Push day- chest, shoulders, triceps, stomach Leg day- legs, stomach Pull day- back, biceps, forearms, stomach Rest day- don't do anything except lift the remote repeat. And larger muscle groups (like quads, chest, back) you want to get...

    How to copy all files including active W2K files?

    Try Ghost with a removable HD bay (they're like $15-20) Makes a perfect image & you can go hide it upstairs under your bed. Works great for me!

    99% system usage

    How much memory does "system" take up? And if you're playing videos, I take it that you have other programs installed? I'd run MSCONFIG and try to stop all programs from loading from the start to see if that would do it- or maybe safe mode would do that as well???

    Remote Desktop?

    Terminal Services works great as well.

    Win2K AD File Restore

    I have 2 domain controllers- I am planning on wiping out one of them (my file server) and rebuilding it. When I restore my data files (not the OS system files), will I get to keep my same security (and shares??) that was on those files before? Is the SID stored in the AD itself?
