    Dell 14z 802.11n upgrade

    I just ordered a 14z laptop with the 802.11n WiFi option but unfortunately for some reason this pushes the ship date out another 8 business days. I would really like to get this thing by Christmas but with the 802.11n option the estimated ship date is 12/29. I would go with the 802.11g for now...

    sysprep 1.1 - Win2K HDD move

    Here's the scenario: I need to move a Windows 2000 hard drive from Computer "A" to Computer "B". Computer A - 933 mhz pentium 3 (20GB HD w/Win2k) Computer B - 400 mhz Celeron (no HD) I plugged the hard drive from Computer A in Computer B but it would not boot. I guess because the...

    sysprep 1.1 - Win2K HDD move

    I was just reading about the "Standard PCI IDE Controller" trick. This should allow the hard drive to boot in another PC. The only problem here maybe that if I have to run a repair would that wipe out all my non-system files? I'm trying to avoid having to reload everything. Does anyone know...

    Hard Drive - Endless reboot loop

    Thanks for the comments. I cannot do a complete reinstall because I do not have the OS CDs. The system it came out of is a surplused Dell computer I got from work. None of us that bought them got the OS CDs. Which brings up another question. I just bought a laptop for my son and his didn't...

    Hard Drive - Endless reboot loop

    I moved a Windows 2000 hard drive from one system to another and was hoping I could just plug it in and the other computer would boot OK. Of course I new this was probably wishful thinking on my part but I surprised that it actually tried to boot. It almost gets to the blue screen but then...

    disk drive swap between two computers

    Actually there's not anything on the 80 GB I need to keep so no problem there. The only problem is getting Windows 2000 on the 20 GB to work with the older machine. I don't have a Windows 2000 CD to do the install and would really like to use it. I'm trying to learn more about sysprep to see...

    disk drive swap between two computers

    The 933 mhz system is Windows 2000. The 400 mhz system is Windows 98. I was hoping to upgrade the 400 mhz system to Windows 2000 in the process. Thanks.

    disk drive swap between two computers

    I have two computers at home and I would like to swap the disk drives between the two. One system is a 933 mhz machine (20 GB HDD) and the other is a 400 mhz (80 GB HDD). I don't use the 400 mhz much and could really use the bigger hard drive in the 933 mhz system. What is the best way to...

    AVG or AntiVir?

    Is there any way to continue using AntiVir PE without upgrading to Premium? I have been using it for quite sometime and have been pretty happy with it then all the sudden it tells me my license has expired. It's really just a demo with an expiration date.
