I did that about a year ago. I wanted to create a DOS environment which I could run Ghost from. It was a huge PITA to get working, and once I did finally get it working, it wasn't all that great. Unless there is a reason you MUST have pure DOS on there, install BartPe to the flash drive, it's...

I'm replacing my Radeon 9800 256MB card from 2003! :eek: $528, but that card held up.

I have a (crappy) TV tuner card (an MSI TV@nywhere) and would like some better software, preferably free, just to watch TV. It's not part of a HTPC or DVR or anything super fancy like that. I just want to be able to watch some football this fall. Any recommendations for some good programs...

I've been thinking about modeling my house so I can play around with remodeling/painting etc. I'm looking for recommendations on good software. I don't want standard CAD software, I want something 3D. Any ideas?

First off, I know there are other, "better", ways to ghost a PC. Due to some of the systems I work on, a single floppy that will allow me to ghost to an external USB drive would be incredibly useful. However, I can't for the life of me get one to work. Here's what I'm dealing with...

I just found out I won an Xbox 360 from a drawing at a convention I was at recently. w00t! :D I haven't followed consoles at all because I never imagined buying one. Now that one fell into my lap I'm wondering: What are the top three "must have games" for the 360? If you guys could give...

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like I'll have a busy day Saturday! :D I haven't geeked-out this badly in a long time :eek: :p

Did anyone try the Vista Ultimate Launch Preview disk yet? One guy on here said it installed fine and ran Windows Updates OK. Can anyone confirm that this is indeed a working "retail" version?

I just got back from the one in Minneapolis and was wondering if the Pre-Release of Vista I got was a limited version. So you installed it and were able to update it and didn't get any crap about limited time? That's friggin' AWESOME! Looks like I'll be installing it this weekend. I'm going...

Thanks a lot for the info! I'll give it a go today.

At work we are running a Novell network with windows xp clients. We have two windows 2000 DNS servers as well. The clients have their time updated whenever they login to the novell network. The problem is that many of our important machines don't login to Novell, they logon as workstation...

Most of the time when check disk recoveres orphaned files it moves them into hidden system folders called "found.000" "found.001" "found.002" etc. on the root of the corrupted drive. You'll have to go to folder options and uncheck the option to not show hidden files and folders, and also...

Did you ever think it could be the new adapter?

I agree with your first statement, but I highly disagree with your last last statement. XP is the most stable Windows desktop OS to date. I honestly can't tell you the last time I've run into a borked XP machine where the fault was of the OS. We run hundreds of XP machines at work and I have...
