Okay thanks...can anyone answer my swap file question in my second post in this thread?

Okay, thank you...I forgot to ask two other questions as well. Partioning...some people say they make one for the o/s, one for apps and games, and one for data. They say then if the o/s gets trashed you just reinstall over it and the other partitions are intact. However, don't games and some...

Sure you can...Behold, man has created fire! It's easy! Just be careful...

Hello all, I have a few questions...I am doing a new install of XP (with SP1). Oh, it will be on a 200GB hd, so does anyone also happen to know if it will see it all okay? SP1 added support for drives over 137 so I natuarlly assume the XP setup would allow me to partition all of it, correct...

You know what I did earlier? I had this brand new floppy drive sitting here for about two months. I am finally putting my new system together for good, so I decided to put it in...did what you did with the flipped cable (it made sense the way I had as it wasn't folded in on itself!), and I put...

What are the exact steps to connect two computers with a crossover cable? The XP machine is NTFS and the win98 is fat 32 but I can't get them to see on another...I think it's something on the XP side as I can at least get the win98 one to show up in the network neighborhood. I want to send all...

aRCeNiTe, yeah that's my thinking as well. I didn't word my question good enough about the fans. I have the case sent up the way it was shipped. There are the two rear fans and a side fan (There is physically a fan there, but I just don't use it ). Some of the open fan mounts are one for in...

Oh,well there is no front fan...there is a thing to put one where the hard drives go but I didn't put one there...just left it the way it came...well, I also didn't plug the case's side fan in because it makes a high pitched noise that irritates me. Unless I completely missed it, I'll have to...

Hello...I recently got the Antec 1080AMG case...I'm very happy with it but still have a few dumb questions...how do you remove the front door? I think I understand how it is meant to be removed but I am thinking that it's wrong as I don't want to force it and risk breaking it. Also, the two rear...

Ok...Ummm, this is probably in the wrong forum. Does that suffice? I'm sorta new here too...ButtersStotch

Hello, I am going to be switching to a new system but am worried about the integrity of my data during the move. I want to make sure that my new system doesn't hose my current data only hd so I plan to send the data via my current computer until I then physically place the new drive in the...

Hello, I was trying to get to a website but forgot part of the name and I got one of those crappy generic search pages and a ton of pop-ups. ZoneAlarm gave me the following message under the banner of "Server Program": "Do you want to allow Distributed COM Services to act as a server?" I am...

Hello, I have a few questions about how to set up my two Western Digital drives. One will be a 200 gb drive. First, I am buying the newer version of XP with SP1 built into it. So, when I install XP will it be able to format the entire drive right away, or does the WD drive come with some...

Hello, I am thinking of buying the AIW 9700...I am getting antsy waiting for the FX benchmarks and that to come out...I'd probably go with the ATI anyways, I just would be less bummed knowing the performance difference ahead of time. Anyways, I have a few questions about the AIW. I am interested...

Sorry, my second post and I already screwed up! Anyways... Hello, I want to get another version of Windows. I would like some thoughts on all of the different versions of WinXP. I was hoping someone could tell me the differences between Pro and Home, Retail vs OEM, and Full vs Upgrade. Well...
