First thanks all fro getting me over this. Hi Phil, am from glum Basingstoke!!

Thanks for that I got a bit further but it throws up another message as follows; Could someone please enlighten me to "dismount", I only associate that with horses!!! but seriously I would like to know of my next move without mucking something up!

I did as you said and got the message in the cmd prompt as follows; But D: IS the correct drive label, is it not? Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

I have been a member for 4 years but I tend to get most of my answers by reading and searching. I am no more then intermediate when using PC's so apart from talking about the lousy weather here in the UK I leave all of the clever answers to those who know a lot more then me!! Many thanks...

I have a two disk set up as follows; DISK 0 C: (system) NTFS E: FAT32 F: FAT32 DISK 1 D: FAT32 G: FAT32 H: FAT32 I: FAT32 Please don't ask as it was originally set up by a more knowledgable friend then I and I took it as granted. I now know of the benefits of NTFS over FAT32...

Problem still not solved. Updating the bios from revision 1005 to 1007 has not solved the "forgetting" of the USB settings.

All drivers are current. Also different combinations of released rivers were tried. Note: Currently the bios revision is 1005 maybe I ought to try 1007?

Shameful double post, sorry do not know what happened there? *Bump* I have now completely started again from a fresh HD and carefully installed everything by the book, XP, SP1a, Mobo, DX9 and that was it. No conflicts at all. I install the USB modem drivers, reboot, plug in the USB modem and...

1. I have tried every USB orifice I could find on the PC and all behaved in the same way. 2. Yes, both a mouse and keyboard work fine after restarts. Boy am I puzzled.

From the beginning. The old system: ECS K7S5A 2 X 256mb PC2100 XP2100 Sparkle Ti4200 CL Live 1028 Win XP Pro + SP1 The new system. Asus A7N8X Deluxe Rev. 2 1.00.5 1 X 512mb PC2700 Elixir On board nForce sound The rest is the same as it was a transplant into a new case. Now the problem, the...

I have created a spreadsheet for tracking absence, holiday and overtime for my workplace. I created it on my machine using Excel XP but use it on a machine at work that uses Excel '97. My problem is that after closing down and reopening another day the column widths have narrowed making data...

I don't know if this helps but this my experience of ICS with cable. I have a cable modem attached to my PC via an ethernet card (it can also be connected via USB). I bought a two PC network kit last week comprising of two network cards and crossover cable. Installation was a breeze unlike...

I am new to networking, so new I know nothing ( I have read the FAQ's and they haven't helped). I bought a network kit for my 2 PC's and thought networking them would be a breeze as they both run the same OS (WinME). Here is my scenario: PC 1 Accton EN1207D Ethernet 10/100 connected to cable...

All the info I can give you on my HD is that it is a Maxtor 40GB. I ran Si-Soft and it just comes up with Generic Type 47!! My system is an NEC Direction P111 800EB, a MSI MS-6309 mobo with 384mb PC133 mem. My problem is that after several hours being turned off the disk fails to spin-up...
