When you reinstall only have the Boot Drive connected, disconnect the second drive and then after reconnect the second disk.

The half that couldn't be retrieved is due to the system restore you attempted. Future reference: System restore will not delete or restore User Files. Never has.

Your post is obviously ill informed. Windows 7 runs fine on the Acer Aspire On Atom N270 with 1 GB or 2 GB RAM. pcgeek11

Be hard headed and wait it out...

I am running Win 7 Pro on my Acer Aspire One w/2GB and it runs as well as XP ever did and some. pcgeek11

Actually it is a driver... Of course the OS can communicate with the CPU without it, BUT it can also communicate with a video card without a driver on a basic level. pcgeek11

Here are the specifications for that drive: Features/Specifications: Samsung TS-H663B 22x DVD±RW DL SATA Drive General Features: Black bezel SATA interface 2 MB buffer DVD-ROM Random Access Time: 130 ms SpeedPlus technology Write Speed: DVD+R: 22x DVD-R: 22x...

I think it serves a purpose, Grounding, Sheilding out EMI ...

The NTFS version is not the issue. It shouldn't be reading it as a Dynamic drive coming from XP. I would first - make sure you have it backed up before doing anything else! pcgeek11

Odd indeed. I don't think being headless has anything to do with it specifically. Mine is headless and works fine, also it is designed and should be to run as a headless server.I would suspect a settings issue. pcgeek11

That must be some crappy disk! On my gig network switch I get anywhere from 70 - 85 MB/s transfer speeds from any of my PC's to my WHS. Netgear G105 5 port switch using CAT5e cables. I say you have an issue with the network setup of bad network cables etc... pcgeek11

Glad it worked for you! ;)

I think that the file association was changed somehow... See this site which is for Vista but I think it is the same for win 7. http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html Or this from technet...

Do you mean that WHS cannot connect to the internet? Make sure that the modem is connected to the WAN (or sometimes called an uplink connection ) Connection on the Airport. I'm not sure if this is applicable to your specific "airport" or not but the directions I have seen imply that it...

The exact key is not entered into the BIOS it is on the CD. WINNT.SIF for Windows XP, PID.TXT for Windows Vista ( Iwould have to look for the Windows 7 location, but it is different, but it is there ) No this will not work. The code I know for a Dell for example For Windows XP the BIOS code...

Not an issue as the login changer will compress and convert any image file and place it into the proper location for you basically with a couple of clicks of the mouse. pcgeek11

1. The Volume License Key that Dell uses is in the WINNT.SIF file for XP on the CD, This is automatically entered for you during the installation. 2. There is a set of files on the CD that is OEM Specific and it includes a Microsoft Trusted OEM Certificate file *****.xrm-ms this has the...

That will work also for your desktop. You will just have to locate all the drivers using your service tag on the Dell site. pcgeek11

This http://lifehacker.com/5182061/logon-changer-customizes-the-windows-7-login-screen is much easier. pcgeek11

You can't do that without the proper files and key on the disk. Period. Esp with a "Non-OEM Disk". I guess because you do not know where to look. I can find it. Three requirements for OEM automatic activation: 1. XXXXXX.xrm-ms certificate file for the applicable Trusted OEM. 2. VL OEM...

The installation will never accept the Dell OEM key on the sticker until you obtain the correct OEM installation disk. It doesn't have to be a Dell disk just an OEM disk. To do a factory restore on a Dell:If the partitions have not been buggered with. When you see the DELL Banner on booting...

Nobody " encodes " the key inthe BIOS. Nobody. The BIOS will have an OEM string in the BIOS SLIC and RSDT tables that will correspond the the license certificate file from the OEM installation disk, these along with the correct volumn license key when they all jive together will cause activation...

Typical. Linux is set to GMT and when you logoff it will sync the hardware clock to it. Fix the linux install to use local time and you will be fine. ** No need to update to Vista or 7, your XP is working correctly. You can edit the registry to lower the NTP Sync interval to a very low value...

Use task scheduler to run the application as a task with admin rights when you login. That is how I run Speedfan. pcgeek11

" Since most features in Home Premium won't work as is on a netbook," I am running Windows 7 Pro on an Acer Aspire One with no problems and everything is working just fine. pcgeek11

Blackviper is like Herpies. He keeps poppiing up. Useless crap.

You cannot activate a "Retail Installation" with an "OEM" Key. pcgeek11

i386 folder.

You cannot upgrade a 32 bit to 64 bit. It will require a clean install.

The key is F8 during boot at the "Dell Logo".

The big problem is if you use the boot files from the 32 bit you cannot do a boot repair of a 64 bit install and vice versa... pcgeek11

Then again the reality is if you do just a little homework for your hardware Win XP 64 bit will work just fine. I have been using it for years with no issues whatsoever. Now the question is why not just get Vista or Windows 7 X64? Without knocking Win XP; Vista and Win7 are much better and...

To "Deactivate" Vista on the old PC format the hard disk bam deactivated. Required by the EULA anyway if you move windows from and old PC you have to remove it from the old PC. pcgeek11

The upgrade is transferable to a new PC and you will still be in compliance with the EULA, OEM you cannot. pcgeek11

I work for a worldwide autoparts mfg and we still have some machines on our network using Windows for Workgroups 3.11... God help us all!

Get the upgrade if you have a qualifying product and then use it for a clean installation. <$$$
