    How can I convert HD from NTFS to FAT32?

    Thanks for the info. However, I just found an alternate solution--a program that could format the drive with FAT32 in Windows XP. Regards, MJS

    How can I convert HD from NTFS to FAT32?

    Following your instructions, I successfully deleted the partition. When I tried creating a new FAT partition, however, the "New Partition Wizard" only gave the option of using the NTFS file system. What now?

    How can I convert HD from NTFS to FAT32?

    I have an extra 200 GB hard drive which is formated with the NTFS file system. I wish to use it as an external drive (I have an enclosure) with the USB port of my new DVD player which can only read the FAT file system. I would greatly appreciate instructions for converting (or reformating)...

    Can new DVD Burners read old data CD's???

    The data CD's are only a couple weeks old. I called them "old" because I burned them on my old computer using old software. I did speak with HP support. The woman said that Windows XP can burn CD's using either "packet writing" or "session writing" methods, but can only read CD's that were...

    Can new DVD Burners read old data CD's???

    The DVD-Burner in my new HP Pavilion Media Center computer cannot read the data CD's (mp3 & video files) that I burned on my old Dell (Windows ME) system; I get the error message: "The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable." In addition, the new DVD burner that I put in my old Dell cannot...

    Fastest Card for a Slow Computer?

    Thank you for your responses! Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting 6200 cards to function with my system. I thought I had a corrupted driver, so I purchased and used the "drivercleaner" program to uninstall the forceware driver and remove all remnants of nVidia and ATI drivers (I...

    Fastest Card for a Slow Computer?

    I installed the forceware driver version 81.98, which is the latest one for my operating system. Both FX5200 and 6200 cards use this same nVidia driver for Windows ME. Any idea which card would perform best in my AGP 4X slot?

    Fastest Card for a Slow Computer?

    I have a 7 year old Dell Dimension 8100 desktop computer with a Pentium 4 CPU at 1.3Ghz, Windows ME, and an AGP 4x slot. I need a videocard with a DVI port to plug in my new 1680x1050 LCD monitor. Since I'm not a gamer, I tried an inexpensive GeForce FX5200 card with 256MB of 128 bit memory...

    Video Card Driver Headaches!

    I checked out the "drivercleaner" website and it says the program works with Windows XP and Vista. My OS is Windows ME.

    Video Card Driver Headaches!

    First, some history: 1. Got a beautiful new 1680x1050 LCD monitor. 2. Purchased a new nVidia GeForce FX5200 AGP card for my old computer so I could plug the monitor into the card's DVI port. [I do not play computer games.] 3. Installed the latest nVidia graphics "ForceWare"...

    Video Card Resolution Jargon

    Thanks for all the replies. I do plan to upgrade my OS AFTER I manage to transfer my important files to my new computer. I may also try a more advanced AGP video card on my Dell to see if I can get higher resolutions. I am not optimistic for two reasons: 1) nVidia says my current card is...

    Video Card Resolution Jargon

    I purchased a similar nVidia graphics card from a local store (with a return policy) to make sure I did not have a defective card. This new card showed the same resolution limitation. I just got off the phone with tech support for this card. He said that the nVidia driver WILL display...

    Video Card Resolution Jargon

    I am using 81.98, which is the latest nVidia driver for Windows 9x/ME (released 12/21/05).

    Video Card Resolution Jargon

    I did suspect that graphics card drivers would not allow one to access a resolution that exceeded the capacity of the attached monitor(s), but I was not sure. I have tried to add 1680x1050 as a custom resolution through the nVidia display menu, but I always get the message: "The custom...
