Hi, My brand new laptop was shipped with a first hidden "diagnotic", 10MB large, partition. The trouble is that the remainder of the disk is allocated to a partition starting just after the diagnostic partition. As one might guess there were little chance for the next partition to start on a...

Trouble Installing Replacement Drive by Jay
The drive on my Compaq Presario 1720US laptop gave up and died. I have bought a replacement and am getting nowhere fast. When I run my 98 boot disk it says it can't find a drive. Can anyone point me to a basic installation procedure? I know this is really basic stuff but I am an amazing dullard! :)

Maxtor external drive: drive not recognized by DEKORT Daniel

FAT32 disk cluster size and Norton Ghost by bcool
I don't believe Ghost (Norton Ghost 2001) gave me a cluster size option when restoring a disk image file to a new larger hard drive. But since I will be repeating the exact same scenario on Monday, I will play much closer attention. But I doubt that it does. It created the disk image file from a...
