Great, I spent 2 hrs up[censored] a tutorial and I accidentally deleted the wrong one. Could someone PLEASE point me to an undelete program quickly??

well, first try.... PAGE FAULT IN NON-PAGED AREA on every normal boot.... after format & reinstall.... Everything works fine. What is the windows update bug? If it is what I think it is, I might be a victim of it.

I'm running win2k, there's my roommate's comp running xp - and I want to give only him access to a folder - how do I do so? How do I set it up so that it recognizes his comp/login and that he doesn't have to login or do anything manually? This also happens to be the same folder that is the root dir for the IIS i'm running

Tried by mapping the shared drive, also tried by using the "A share on another computer" where you enter in the folder, login/pass, didn't work those ways. When I tried the mapped drive, it wouldn't find/display any files, when I tried a share on another computer, it kept asking me to log into the computer I was currently on (the XP one)... strangeness. I have no idea of the fullness of XP's IIS implementation, but from what I saw, it seemed as full featured as 2k's.

no, http root not ftp server

k, that's all done now.... but here's the complicated part: We want to be able to use my shared folder as the root for his IIS server on his machine.... for some reason, we either get login boxes (for which the user/pass doesn't work) or file not founds... any ideas?

I just loaded IIS on my win2k system so I could locally test out some asp web stuff... everything is working fine when I use IE, but when I use NS6, I get "HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource" - all the permissions seem to be set right.. any ideas..?

nmind! Figured it out.

The folder I deleted was on my C: - so every program I downloaded went to my D: drive and installed it there... but even still, nothing seems to be able to recover the files - it's not even finding the directory that was deleted. I'm guessing that either the little bit of web browsing I had to do overwrote the area on the disk with cache files, or the ftp client I used somehow does unrecoverable deletes. Bah, I already started redoing the whole deal anyway.

I'm using NTFS.... It doesn't have FATs? Ooh then I'm in trouble then. Curse these darn secure file systems. So how then are some files recoverable but not others?

Actually, I deleted it through my ftp client program. And shift-deletes are recoverable, the files are still physically on the hard drive, just the fat entry was deleted. The files are recoverable up to the point to where the physical space on the hard drive is overwritten with a new file. Though in my case it appears that I am out of luck, I have already checked several other threads and none of the programs suggested have been able to help.

Well, my win2k is in danger of being reinstalled right about now. Good thing I have win98 dual booted so I can get on this forum and ask questions The deal is that, when booting win2k, it stops the process about halfway, and the BSoD pops up with the error, "PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA". It's not my ram. It's not my pagefile. I have narrowed it down to my video card, or more specifically, my video card drivers. I have an ATI radeon AIW, and by swapping it out with a piece of junk vidcard, win2k boots up fine. Put the ATI back in, BSoD during bootup. I don't even know why the heck it would do this to me now, I haven't installed any new vidcard drivers or done any windowsupdate patches in a while, it pretty much happened out of the blue. This is the 2nd time this particular BSoD has happened to me, the first time was a few months ago, and I ended up reinstalling win2k. I have no such desire to do so now. So my theory is, that if I can clean up all references to ATI display drivers, then reinstall those, I should be fine. Any ideas on how to do that? I've already deleted all ati*.* in \winnt\system32, \winnt\inf dirs. What else can I do to make win2k not use ati drivers when I stick the card back in? ANY IMMEDIATE HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Around 12:30 today, I broke down and began the process of reinstalling win2k. I started off by backing up all the "documents and settings" folders, and then booted off the CD and installed on top of my current install. 4 hours later, mostly back up and running, and everything is running fine now. I hate bad software.

Not at all. It's about as informative as a brick. I just got another fatal BSoD now, SPECIAL POOL DETECTED MEMORY CORRUPTION. This came after reinstalling SP2 and DX8. Grrrreeeeat.

Well, I downloaded the latest leaked drivers for the ATI card, put the ati card in, booted to safe mode, installed drivers, rebooted, BSoD. Hmmmm.... Now I'm going to assume that it's not an ATI driver per se that's causing the problem, but rather a windows sytem file interacting with the ati driver that's causing the problem. Is there any sort of way to determine if a windows dll or something has been corrupted? I'm going to assume that it's a small out-of-the-way sort of file, since the win2k cd emergency repair process did not fix it.

I COULD plug the ATI into another comp, but why bother. I can boot into Win98 just fine, and there's no problem whatsoever. It's a driver/software issue.

Yeah, ATI has been lacking in the drivers. But what I don't get is why it's been working well for so long, then just now it BS's like this. I didn't even install anything that would have changed any video driver settings or files. I have just spent the past few hours uninstalling/reinstalling video drivers, repairing my win2k install, etc etc etc, no luck. For the moment I have given in and put the other video card in, so I can check the forums I think it's time to contact ATI tech supt.

Also, this happens no matter how I try to boot up win2k - safe, safe w/ networking, vga mode, etc, etc, etc. ANY WIN2K bootup = BSoD
