    Shadow Warrior???

    No, the soundis too choppy. In fact, its really not "sound". Its a series of continously small-paces sections of sound, almost like a beeping computer whe n you hold down a keybooard key for too long! Someone please help!
  7. Hi All, I'm just wondering if any of you know if this video card has built in DVD decoding capabilities or not. I heard a rumor that it does, but I don't know. I also checked www.nvidia.com and they didn't have any info about this issue. Again this video card is: Nvidia GeForce 2 Mx 400 AGP 4x (64MB). Thanx for reading this post!

    NTFS to FAT32 in W2K

    IOs it because of the 80Gb size, or because your disk is too full for the conversion? Sometime disk file system vonversion can require some free space to succeed. Unless of course, there's a problem with it simply being too large (80 gigs)

    NTFS to FAT32 in W2K

    Well partition magic has some other cool features such as merging partitons, splitting partitions, splitting partitions and automatically formatting them with a variety of file systems, and converting between file systems, ALL WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF DATA! Anyways, I am still convinced that a conversion from NTFs->Fat32 is almost impossible without a format with good reasons! Please check the links on my post above and I'm sure they'll support my point of view. Anyways, Good luck. Please let us know how it goes with you :-) Note: don't get me wrong here, I am only trying to help in here. I do not mean to get into a cyber fist fight or anything, LOL :-)

    XP Problems...

    Ok, let me (and maybe others) do some research here. If i stumble across anything useful I'll let you know, even though I doubt I'll have much time to do any research since I'm up to my neck with college work right now :-(

    NTFS to FAT32 in W2K

    I have succesfully done so, but ONLY with a COMPLETE format of the partition. Ready my above post, AND also read the links provided on it and I'm sure you'll agree with me!

    win2k pro or winxp pro?

    That is true, although the new features of XP may or may not be of use to you. I guess it all depends really on WHAT YOU NEED THE OS to do. Define your needs and with it you can pick an OS! :-)

    Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 400 video card question

    Well the CHIP is probably a GeForce2 MX 400. The CARD is an eVGA card. Please, if someone knows more about this card / chip let me know; I really need to know if it can decode DVDs!

    NTFS to FAT32 in W2K

    Well the fact of the matter is that you PHYSICALLY CANNOT convert an NTFS partition into a FAT32 regardless of whether Microsoft or even REDHAT for that matter can come up with a program to do it. Once you convert to NTFS there's no turning back unless you format. If you even TRY to convert an NTFS parititon to a FAT32 your data MAY BE CORRUPTED! the reason being is that NTFS stores file in a completely different way than FAT32 and it also has "extensions" o properties for EACH FILE that cannot be preserved in FAT32. NTFS works entirely on those properties One other thing too, is NTFS has built-in features to recover data that may be corrupted or on the verge of eing lost. If I where you, I'd stick to NTFS, and just mount it under Linux as a read-only device! Yes, its brutal for linux to not be able to access the device in read/write mode, but its better than nothing! I would STRONGLY suggest staying with NTFS for many reasons! As for performance issues, FAT32 may be faster than NTFS but its not THAT much faster. For example, if you open a program in 4 seconds in FAT32 as opposed to 6 or 7 in NTFS its no big deal right? we can wait for 3 more seconds for the program right? LOL. good luck! let us know how it goes!

    NTFS to FAT32 in W2K

    I c. Well in that case, I would try the following (if at all possible): Split your hard drive into say the following: 2 x 20GB partitions and 1 x 40 GB partition. Then while you're at it, in partition magic, format those 20 GB partitions as FAT32, THEN use partition magic to merge those two partitions together. This way, YES you'll still have an NTFS partition, BUT at least part of your hard drive would be FAT32. I'm afraid that if you want the WHOLE 80 GB to be FAT32, you'll HAVE to reformat it completeley as FAT32, or delete its partition and re-create it as FAT32 in FDISK. In either way you'd lose all your data! Sorry! :-(

    win2k pro or winxp pro?

    It all depends on WHAT you're trying to do. If you like remote administration services and a nicer-loking UI, then go for WinXP. If all you need is a straight-forward OS with no specific remote administration needs, stick with Win2k. Essentially they both run WinNT kernels, so thier stability and reliability is almost the same. I like Win2k myself better because its more "straightforward" than XP. Also, Xp has a built in firewall that might be a pain to disable or configure sometimes. Make your pick! :-) btw, is Win2k Sp3 out yet?

    NTFS to FAT32 in W2K

    It is a PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY to convert from NTFS to FAT32 without re-formatting. The NTFS directory structure is a lot different than that of FAT32, so the only way to re-construct a FAT32 file system on an NTFS partition would be a re-format. For more information on File Systems and their differences, check out these links: [File Systems in general] http://www.pcnineoneone.com/howto/filesystems1.html [FAT16/32] http://www.pcnineoneone.com/howto/fat1.html By the way, why do u need to convert to FAT32? I thought NTFS is a lot better. The only reason i can see is you're either running Linux and want read/write access, or you're running Win9x/Me (yuck!)

    XP Problems...

    oops, i meant more DETAILED system specs! I just looked at your posts again. What i meant was detailed information may be helpful!

    XP Problems...

    We need more info to help resolve this issue folks! Such an issuea (just like many windows issues) can be caused by a wide variety of possibilities. I may not be able to know the solution off the top of my head, but with more info the least I can do is research it, or maybe someone on the forum might be able to give an educated guess. Also, your system specificatons may be very helpful. Aso, a lost of installed programs would be great too! :-)
