I got into partitioning to easily seperate my harddrive and to make backing up/reformatting easy. But, I ended up making a partition that I no longer want. Here is what I want to change: On my backup 80 gig hardrive, I have 3 partitions. The first is 10gigs, the second is 10gigs, and the third is 60gigs (smaller, but thats what they basically are). I want to unpartition the 2 ten gig hardrives and make them into one partition. I have nothing on the first 10 gig partition, but I have all my game installs on the second 10 gig partition. How can I go about making these into one partition? This is all in windows xp pro corp sp1a & all drives are NTFS.

Good deal! I'll prolly do it tomorrow

Ok, to clear up some confusion here is what I have.... First off, I just bought a 120 gig drive because my main 40 gig drive broke... so here is how I have everything layed out 120 gig drive +20 gig - primary - system +100 gig - logical - files and backup 80 gig drive +10 gig - primary - was going to be system, bur currently blank +10 gig - logical - games +60 gig - logical - Storage of digital pictures and other files I want my two 10 gig partitions on the 80 gig drive to be one 20 gig drive.

I want to setup a dedicated server next year on my college dorm hall. What would be the minimum server requirements to run or even 2 games on it? I am guessing it would not have to be high at all since I served at the beginnign of the year on my old 500mhz 192mb pc100 machine as I was playing on it (not dedicated which uses like WAY less)

So, I want to block popups but I dotn want to run extra programs. is there a way I can restrict well known popup places like ad.whatever from even opening? If there is such a way does anyone know where I can get a huge list to the popup sites? Also, if it is not possible, is there a very small well known application that can do this task that is not cheap ass and not overbearing? also a frequently update list would be nice.

The new way of viewing the network computersn windows xp makes me sick. I would rather just have the computer name displayed like in windows 2k and all other versions of windows. Is there a way to change it back to this format? Thanks.

Weulp, that sorta works... I can view a tree of just the computer names but I still would like a classic view in the normal window aswell. But yeah, it'll do for now if there is no other way. Life up here at Susquehanna university is good. This is my second year and I am liking far better than the first already If you were wondering, I got really into photography. Here are a few select digital pieces I have: www.susqu.edu/students/a/ahnell I dont have much webspace so the page is limited and I dont have a slide scanner so there is no way I can scan all my 'good' work that has come from nikon fg SLR camera....

On my system if I play counterstrike in OpenGL mode it makes the screen a small 800x600 quarter of the screen box in the upper left hand corner of my 1600x1200 desktop... (its not in a windowed mode, its just 1/4 of the game showing in the corner of the screen). If I run the game in direct 3d mode and switch back to a menu from the game, it crashes by making the screen blank when in menus. How do I fix this? Any clue... I am veague, but I am sure someone had this problem. Also, what is the console command to turn off the max fps and to set the hunk megs memory size the game usese?

We appear to have solved the problem. You have to exit out of aim and it works.

Excelent. Thanks!

Scrap the 2 game.... that was just a thought into the future... I am looking for something we can make out of old parts....

ok, screw 2 processors and a gig of ram and screw 2 games at once. We will be playing: SOF2 Wolfenstein Medal of Honor Quake Quake 3 Unreal Tournament Unreal Tournament 2 Counterstrike And what ever else floats our boat at the time. My guess is that there will be about 15ish people on it max

Well I just reformatted after I got my replacement motherboard and video card. Just sortin **** around right now and am wondering what else I should get? Any little programs out there I should get for it? An example of what I am looking for would be this: A while back on NTCompatible I found a program that let you uninstall/install everything on xp. Now this included letting me actually uninstall windows messager and other little shitty things that I could always remove in 9x. Now being months later I dont have those links. So what should I get? Also where is that clear type tweak page? -------------------- :: A l I e n w a r e :: A u o r a D D R :: :: 1.4ghz T-Bird @ 1553 1.87 Vcore :: 148fsb DDR :: Thermal Take Volcano 7 HSF :: Asus A7M266 :: 384mb PC2100 Kingston DDR ram (256/128) :: PNY GeForce III 64mb @ 220/510 :: Thermal Take Crystal Orb Geforce Cooler :: Artic Silver II :: Seagate Barracuda 40GB:9r3002-301 (15gb/25gb Partitions *NTFS*) :: SB Live!

Thassa it! Thanks man

I liked the old style of how to view the computers in network neighborhood where it would just say that name of the computer. Now it puts the name of the user and then the computer name... Is there a way to switch that back, or make the computer name then user name, or make a seperate spot for the username? The new view gets very confusing and it way hard to read.

have my winxp machine attached to a network at school. Before I had the admin set me up an account (which I cannot physicaly do) I made myself Administrator on the computer. When I got hooked up to the network, I had to start all over with my profile and such so I made my new Ahnell.SEIBERT name as an administrator aswell. Well, I wanted my old setting so I coppied the old administrator folder into the Ahnell.SEIBERT folder. But that did not work. Some funkey **** went on and It turned out that I also had the account Ahnell when I log on to the seibert domain... So basically I ended up coppying all of the contents in my origional Administrator folder into my ahnell and ahnell.SEIBERT folders. Well, now when I take my computer home for break, everything will be messed up. All my settings for school domain logon will be under another profile while I will be on Administrator. Got all that? Its confussing but here is what I am asking: Can I Manage the profiles so all of my settings are based in one folder, so when I switch to Administrator, of If I switch to my school domain logon name, they both have the same settings?

Some games don't work, hardware doesn't work, BSOD, illegal operations, sudden changes in the OS. Just goes to show that the OS isn't very good. I "was" using Windows 2000 awhile ago and got rid of it because it simply stinks. I rather have better compatibility in return for the odd error or two, then have a stable OS and nothing working right. That's why it's stable, cause they made sure next to nothing works on it, they "babied" it to get it working right. Crappy apps, games and hardware support, but it's stable. Now i like Windows 2000 because of it's features, but if w2k is not going to run programs well then forget it. There was only 1 program, one that i use a lot, called RPGMaker 95. I was done testing all of my games and apps with windows 2000 and discovered they all ran, last proggy on the list was RPG Maker, go to start it, doesn't work. Because of 1 program not running, which happened to be the one i use a lot, i had to uninstall windows 2000

I don't come here much anymore but you are really... dumb, jdulmage. [This message has been edited by Arin (edited 23 October 2000).]

I do not think that is possable because then the file will have no clue of what it is. Your 2nd best bet is possably to look up some symbol in asci like a dot and use that.

I have the same exact problem. I also have a biostar mobo. I never found a solution after months and months and months of trying. The only temp solution for me was to put my hd in another persons computer, install windows, and then when it wants you to restart for the first time, put your hd back in your machine with the win2k cd in your drive and everything from there on will work. I think it is some problem that biostar had because they will not update their mobos bios and that really ticks me off! Best bet is to try and sell your mobo, btw, mine is for sale. ------------------ Athalon 500 196mb Ram 3D prophet ddr-dvi geforce SB Live! sound card. biostar m7mka mobo 20 gig maxtor and 3.5 gig fireball 32x tosheba, and adaptec scsi mitsuia cdr 2x4x ms internet keyboard pro ms intellimouse explorer 640k DSL on wintell modem with linksys dsl router 100mbit dlink nic w/wol

Ok, let me get this out of my system. Had a lan party, Kid installed office 10 on my machine w/o telling me. I found it and tied to get rid of it because it is illegal, yes i know it is illegal, i am stating that right now. Anways, I cant get rid of it. When I first got it, it was put on my machine, the entire contents of the office 10 cd. They just dumped it to a folder on my computer. Anways, They installed it, and I later found out and went back and took off some of the other crap that came with the full install. later It kept crappin out on me. I thought it must be a bad install. I did not right away want to get rid of it cause I figured, I might as well take a look. I got the CD from him that had it and I deleted the directory on my computer that held all the files from the cd. Anways, I went to uninstall and hit uninstall. It went thru it's stuff and then restarted. Well i got back in and all the icons and stuff was still there! i went to add remove and it is still there to!!! I tried to uninstall it again but the same crap happened again!!!! Finaly i figured I will just reinstall it. I put in the cd and right away it asks what options i want to install. I chose them and hit next. Well then guess what! It is not looking on the cd but for that folder I deleted off my machine!!! WTF!!!! How do I get rid of it completely!?!?!?!?!?!? Someone please help! arin@bellatlantic.net
