FBDIMM - Did not know that! Thank you very much!!! I learn at least one new thing every day.

Cerb, Thanks for responding, that makes sense. I'm running Win7 64bit and the ram that is in there is a mix from what came originally (2x512) plus the other stuff I had laying around. I'll try looking at Crucial and Kingston.

I have an old Dell that is running DDR2 with 3GB PC5300 ram (2x512 + 2x1GB). I searched a bit on Newegg as well as ebay trying not to spend too much because after a certain point it would just make sense to dump and upgrade everything. Anyway, I saw this on ebay...

All, Thanks for your advice! I think I'll format my newer larger drive for backup for around the house in NTFS, and keep one or two of the smaller ones in FAT32 for the occasional other stuff. Great advice and words of experience. :-)

I just started gathering up my old HDs to use for file backups. I am running WinXP Home SP2, and have a generic external IDE to USB cable to connect my IDE HDs via USB. I thought I should reformat my old HDs to NTFS instead of the old FAT32, but I have seen some web articles saying that WinXP...

Hi, I just struggled with the exact same problem for weeks. I found the solution that worked for me here: http://groups.google.com/group/microsof...10026628?sa=X&oi=groupsr&start=0&num=3 In my case it was the lowerfilters key Good luck!
