I am only running the Outpost Firewall. I did notice that it shows zero sent and received bytes.

So, should I be worried that there is a connection to a specific address? pawel

I was just trying out the Outpost Firewall and noticed a strange incoming connection: Application: SYSTEM Local Port: MICROSOFT_DS Local Address: LocalHost Protocol: TCP Remote Port: 2724 Remote Address: ****.bccexpo.com (I masked the first portion of the address) I have no idea...

HD1 is making these 'funny grinding noises'...plus has bad sectors....plus its an IBM Deskstar, :(

Thanks for the help, Muse. At this point I have spent too much time trying to figure this out. It would take me less time to do a clean install! That is what I am going to do...

one more last bump

Sorry, I don't think I was clear on this... Both drives are on the same controller. Let me call the drives hdA and hdB, rather than numbering them. Originally I had hdA set as Master (split 3 partitions of 10GB, C:, D:, E: ), hdB set as slave (F: G: J: 10GB each, and K: 10GB(FAT32) ). I made...

After cloning I swapped the drives and so my HD2 is now Primary Master and HD1 Slave. Now it boots fine. Thing is that the drive letters stick to the actual drives, so c:\ is no on the Slave drive. But as soon as I remover my old HD1 (that one that I need to RMA) and try to boot just from HD2...

I am using Ghost 2002. Just to make this clear....this is the setup: HD1 (dying IBM) 30GB: 3 NTFS partitions of 10GB HD2 40GB, 3 10GB NTFS partitions + 10GB FAT32 with images The clones are made from the first IBM partition and stored on the FAT32 partition on D2 . If I restore them (i tried a...

morning bump

Here is what the problem is right now: Whenever I re-image using any of the clones that I had made from my old drive the Windows hangs at boot. Instead of the Welcome screen I get a WinXP logo and it just hangs there. I did a clean WinXP install on the new HD and made a image of that. I have no...

ok, i set the partition on the new hd as active (did it from disk manager in winXP). After this i can *almost* boot from the new clone, but it hangs on the XP welcome screen

That might be the problem... sorry for the dumb question, but how do I do that?

A question regarding Norton Ghost... I have been using using Ghost for backup of my WinXP installs for quite a while now. My setup: HD1, 30GB split into 3 equal partitions, one of them WinXP HD2, 40GB used for audio/video. I would keep an image of my WinXP (and programs) and once in a...

I have read in the past about the IBM Deskstars failing for a lot of people... The other day I have noticed mine acting up. I have it 30GB split into partitions. When I try accessing the second one, the drive makes this grinding noise for a few minutes, not being able to access files. On top...
