Hi, I just lost my Windows 95 CD. And obviously, I dumped my Windows 3.11 floppies. I really want to know how to install Windows 98 on a new hard drive. Win98 upgrade compliance check won't allow me to continue. I heard of some kind of tricks to bypass this step. Is this possible? I'm stuck at...

Hi, I have a system with two partitions. I already have installed XP RTM on my C: drive. I was wondering if it is possible to install Windows 2000 on D: drive. I already tried to pop my W2k CD into the system, but XP refused to install it as W2k is an older OS. Thanks in advance.

That's exactly how I do, but it didn't work. WMP gave me a &quot;Incorrect Function&quot; message. << << you will need vcd player to play vcd >> no you do not need a vcd player to play vcd... You do not need any special kind of software at all, a simple CDROM drive and windows...

Where can I download a trial version? Thanks,

Maybe a DVD player will play VCDs. VCD is encoded in special MPEG-1, right? If so, a soft DVD player that can play MPEG-2 must also read MPEG-1 as well. My thought...

Hi, I am a big fan of Jackie CHan's action movies. (Off topic) Anyway, I have tons of VCDs that I want to play on my computer. Windows Media Player 7/8 will not read the CDs correctly. It always prompts an error message, &quot;Incorrect functions&quot; Could anyone show me how to play VCD...

Hi, my ATA-66 HD was being detected, but Windows 2000 detected an error (INACCESSIBLE BOOTUP DRIVE) So, the problem is beyond the BIOS.

My ATA-66 card is built onto the Be6 mobo. I forgot what the name of the controller is. Anyhow, my ATA66 HD is detected by the BIOS, and it is set to boot sequence. The problem's with Windows 2000 not allowing the drive to boot.

Thanks for your replies. I have set the boot sequence in this order: EXT, A, C. And I have also set the &quot;What EXT means&quot; to UMA66. The 20GB ATA66 HD seems to work fine with my ATA-33, but it just cannot boot when connected to a ATA-66 controller. << 1-Get the latest BIOS update...

Hi, I am having problems with booting up a Quantum 20GB FS ATA66 hard disk containing an exact drive image created by Norton Ghost from my IBM 8.4GB hard disk. System configuration: Windows 2000 NTFS BE6 Only 20GB HD connected during the problem occurred This is first time I try to use ATA-66...

Well, I haven't seen any USB storage devices that are faster than 850KB/s. If you go with FireWire and you don't have a FW port, you need to shell out for another $100 for a FireWIre PCI Card. In this case, buying a USB HD will save you some $$$ in exchange for some serious speed. Of course...

Thank you for all your suggestions. Some of you pointed out that I need a new HD, and some new RAM. So, I assume CPU isn't the limiting factor in D2. I am going to grab a new CPU and some new RAM. That's not entirely for D2, but for my work as well. :) One more thing, one of you suggests...

Hi, I have a Pentium II 350 (upgrade to PIII 800 (100) tomorrow) and 128MB PC100 RAM. 8.4 GB HD with 1.5GB free. TNT 2 Ultra 32MB. W2k. Well, I am choking my way through Diablo 2 (using Barbarian) for 2 weeks on my system as described above. I chose full install, taking up 1.5GB of my HD...

Okay. I will try all the settings before playing DVDs. So, what DVD-ROM drive do you guys use? Thanks...

But John said it's best to watch DVD at 16bit.
