    How to get VSS w/o a total XP reinstall?!

    Yeah. I've spent hours on this so far. You'd think (maybe erroneously) that a fella could add Volume Shadow Copy (amazingly handy for on the fly disk images and backups of key files) without reinstalling windows. Up one side and down the other of the net I've got (sitting) the SDK for...

    DDR2 Async > Sync? Options on the PowerEdge 420sc?
