Ok, I'm starting a fresh install. I'll take you through the steps that led me to this point. My IDE drive busted, so I replaced it with a Seagate 320g SATA drive. I installed the drive on the motherboard and gave it power, I booted the computer and placed my Windows XP SP2 disk. The...

Well, That's actually the way I had it when i first had trouble. When I uncheck that box, and right click on a folder, "Sharing and security" is not even an option. If I check the use simple file sharing, it is available as a choice, but once you click on it, it's grayed out as I've...

Ok, tried that and get the following message: "System error 1058 has occured. The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enable devices associated with it." :( Thoughts?

I'm getting close to reformatting, so if anyone has a clue to fix this issue, I'd be grateful!

Yeah, it makes no difference if it is a whole drive or not. The boxes are grayed out. File sharing is on, I ran the wizard, I'm the only administrative user, and it still won't let me. Please help!

Ok, made some progress, by checking "use simple file sharing" I now see "sharing" as an option when I right click on a folder. Yah! However, the "share this folder on the network" box is grayed out. I've tried several different folders on different partitions with the same result...

Hi folks, I'm a newbie to networking. I'm starting a network with 3 computers all running Win XP. I've set up file sharing on all 3. On my laptop, I'm able to access all the shared folders on my network. The problem is I'm unable to share any files on my laptop. When I right click on...

Maybe they should have made a lower limit than "20 per customer". Everybody probably bought 20 and ruined it for the rest of us ;)

Hi, I'm also concerned, about the temp sensors. Here's what I got from the Everest report Field Value CPU 35 °C (95 °F) Aux 77 °C (171 °F) WDC WD2000JB-00GVA0 39 °C (102 °F) What is...

Sounds like you had a similar experience. I'll probably try to get an RMA as well. Is that from the retailer or from the manufacturer? IE who do I contact for the warranty? At least I can stop fiddling with the d$%n thing. thanks for your help
