DMA on really old Pentium III computer by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
Just installed XP on a really old computer, which was previously running
Windows ME (yes, we're really pushing towards cutting edge here). It's
being done for a friend who wants to keep making use of an older
computer. It's a P3-500Mhz, which I would guess is a machine from circa
1998/1999....

Problem getting drive bootable by
DManzaluni
I have a dying drive on an IBM Transnote which has no CD drive (and
needless to say I have no restore discs). It still works and Maxtor's
quick check tells me that it is OK but it is on the way out
DEFINITELY. Hitachi DFT reports excessive disk shock and doesnt seem
to care that the drive still...

I had a USB memory stick plugged into my Win XP (pro) computer.
The machine then updated itself with the many various MS patches going

Do disk defraggers check file systems first? by
alfo
In general, do disk defragmenters for Windows XP perform a file
system integrity check (like XP's CHKDSK) before they start moving
data around?
I'm thinking of defraggers like Diskeeper and PerfectDisk as well as
XP's own defragger.

I suppose this could be a general post about any HD, but the drive in
question is a SATA.
We had a SATA installed on a computer that may have been infected with
a virus, and in order to use it again, we need wipe the drive clean.
Do WD drives come with diagnostic programs that will do a low...

I was sitting at my desk yesterday during a storm when there was a

Is there a better brand to use than APC? Can the battery be sub-par
even though the test lights say it is OK? What have...

Lots of mapped out bad sectors cause trouble? by
jack smith
AIUI ... a bad sector on an IDE hard drive gets labelled as unusable
in the drive's map and a substitute sector is found. The user
wouldn't know about it because this happens transparently.
If there are LOTS of bad sectors then couldn't we have a situation
where the drive's performance is poor...

Bad Clusters vs. Bad Sectors by

Hello!
Am I understanding correctly that these terms are basically the same? If
so, then why did my client's updated Windows 2000 SP4's chkdsk (/r /f
parameters and rebooted to run it) on a HDD (NTFS) in an old Dell
Optiplex system say there was a bad cluster and was able to move a file
to a...

OK to leave approx 5% free space on 500GB NTFS partition? by
Peter[_20_]
I've got a 500 GB partition on my XP system. The drive is about 460
GB full.
The partition is used to store jpegs which are typically 150KB to
250KB.
The file sizes are tiny compared to the space left. So although
there is under 10% free space, will it cause noticeable performance
problems...
