"access is denied" after hard-drive swap by [email protected]
Greetings. A friend of mine went out and bought a new computer. He wants to copy over all his family's vital documents from his old hard-drive to the new hard-drive. I told him this should be easy and offered to do it for him. I dropped his old hard-drive into the computer and it's...

"CS" or "Master and Slave"? by John
My eMachine 1860, running WXP, has been flakey on boot for a year now; once it is on it is fine, but it hands on boot about 20% of the time. Monday it simply wouldn't come up, hanging on "IOM.SYS" everytime. I took it in to the shop. They found a cable was nicked and the jumpers were wrong. ...

"File is corrupt and unreadable" on USB drive by kgb3d
I recently removed an IDE drive from my desktop PC, put it into a USB2.0 caddy, and attached it to my laptop. Both are running Windows XP Home. Everything seemed fine at first - the three partitions on the drive announced themselves, Windows appeared to scan through the files to offer an autoplay...

"Hot swappable" question on external drive by RD
On a USB external hard drive that is "hot swappable" in Windows XP, I know to click the icon for "safe removal" first, but then can the unit simply be turned off, or does the USB plug have to physically be removed from the PC's USB port? Or once safely shut down, can all cables be left intact and...

"Mixing" FAT and NTSF--Please Help a Moron Understand by [email protected]
Okay, I bought a WD 80GB on sale at Office Max for $100. Now the extent of my stupidity will become clear. How does adding another drive, with a different file partition system, "mix" with the original (internal) C: drive? In other words, what does the sweet little C: drive care if a big sugar...

"Parameter is incorrect" (continued from another thread) by Jeff Heikkinen
I *WAS* having what seemed to be problems with my burner, but they're fixed. I think it was a case of crap burning software; I switched to Nero and now everything's hunky dory as far as the burner goes. However, I *still* can't read from the hard drive on the same channel. The error message I now...

"Servicable Used Part" Label on 180GXP by Kostas K.
Today I received a 80GB 180GXP, replacement of my old broken 120GXP, but it does have a sticker on it saying "SERVICABLE USED PART". Does this mean that this is a previously broken drive which they fixed? And if it has already failed once isnt it more likely that it will fail again? Now they give...
