I finally got to work. I started up on WinXP CD and did a repair to installation. I got XP up and will repair the Win2K the same way. I changed several motherboards and just placed in a hard drive with a previous system on it and it always worked after the drivers were installed.

I mean, the system will boot up but, even though the ibm drive looks fine, it will not boot off the ibm drive. I know doing a clean install is always the best thing but I just have too much on my drive. Can I try a repair? Or is the a motherboard setting I am missing? It is just strange I can...

No, my current drive is the ibm with a dual boot on it. When the ibm would not boot I tried an old drive, which is also a dual boot, to check the connections. Since the old drive booted up fine, I think it must be the IBM drive.

:( I just added the ASUS P4PE into my system and a P4 2.4 from a previous AMD set up. When I boot up my IBM 40D drive I get the dual boot menu but when I try to boot as OS it crashes and re starts. When I choose Win2K it says the hard drive in not recognizable. When I swap in an old hard drive...

When I first typed the message in my mind drifted to the game by this name, which is actually better than the last Bond film.

Bestbuy.com is selling a few Bond DVDs, Dr No, Goldfinger, Goldeneye, and Tomorrow Never Dies for $12.99 with free shipping. There is box set which adds Licence to Kill and some Roger Moore duds for $74.99.

Just noticed they are selling DDR 512MB PC3200 400MHz Major Samsung for $145. I think this is lower than the most recent Anand guide price for memory this size and speed.

Before you buy check out the morrowind boards on gamespy or elderscrolls.com about the stability of the program on the xbox. On my Pc it is a royal pain but the game is good enough for me to continue with it. This game has alot of bugs.

Now it says I get a subscription to Men's Journal after the Rolling Stone. Now, a bill wont show up will it? It did not say free but "offer".

I heard that the first Archos has an electrical problem. In any case, 4 batteries? That is one heavy load. I bought a Rio CD player which can read MP3 for $75. You can get around 150-200 mp3s per CD. Best of all, when you drop it, and you will, at most you will be out $75 and not $180.

I got my order through. Funny thing, when I put my company in, they said they did not have a record of it. OK. Then it asked me to create (yes, it said create) a new company.

For a few bucks I prefer a name brand name, even in cables. Of course I would rather get cooler master Icables but I found no good deal on them. Both Googlegear and NewEgg charged $5-6 per cable for shipping.

At http://www.11cb.com you can get Vantec round cables starting at $5 for a floppy cable to $8 for 18inch ide. Best of all, if the order is over $15 you get free shipping. The prices are already lower that other sites but the free shipping clinches the deal. I ordered a gold pair of IDE and they...

I cannot find poledit. I cant figure out how this happened. I did update my via drivers and elsa card and as well as a crash in Netscape while using the java plug in. But why would this cause changes in my system policies. When I click on a control panel the denial refers to permissions or that...

Recently I cannot access my control panels or check the properties on My Computer. I run WindowsMe and it looks like my permissions got changed even though there is only one user account with full permissions. I checked for virus, ran regscan and restored a registry that pre-dated the problems...
