format question by Steve

Posted bySteve on Mon Jan 18 21:39:29 CST 2010 •

Installed a 2nd HD and have partitioned into E: and logical F:. I have
programs on E: right now. Can I format E: without destroying the partition
that formed F:? Thank you, Steve T.

Re: format question by John •

Yes you can format E drive without destroying the logical drive F. If the
OS is also in E (with your programs) then not only you will lose it but you
will need to format the E drive using Windows OS CD or any external bootable
CD that contains format.com or Format.exe. If the OS is in C drive then you
can format it from within Windows XP using Windows explorer and
right-clicking on the drive E and selecting FORMAT. You need to be logged
in as Administrator or a user with these privileges.

cant start my user-created service.. error 1053
- We have several XP machines at my place of business where, upon a user logging in and the desktop loading, they simply get a blank wallpaper and cursor and it stays like that indefinitely. The problem is intermittent. I found that explorer isn=92t running automatically when this happens. I could simply C-A-D, get to Task Manager, start a new task and run explorer that way, which would then bring the rest of the desktop. Unfortunately, this is a little too much for our end users to be able to remember. So I whipped up a little AutoIT script to put in their startup folder, that checks for the presence of the process "explorer.exe" and if not present, then run it. However, if explorer isn=92t running, doesn=92t that mean my script won=92t get ran either, causing a catch 22? I had the idea of adding my script as a windows service... thinking that even if explorer doesn=92t run, services will still start normally. But I=92m having trouble creating the service. I tried the following: sc create "Run Explorer" binPath=3D "C:\runexplorer.exe" This succeeded, however I=92m unable to ever start the service. When I try: Sc start =93Run Explorer=94 it always dies with: "StartService failed 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." I get the same error trying to start it via services.msc. Anyone have any ideas why? TIA

New Toolbar html links acting strange
- The system is a pc, Win XP SP3. The user created her own toolbar called "My Toolbar" and dragged it to the top of her screen. On it she has various subfolders and sub toolbars...all well and good. However....one of the links is to a webpage. We use Firefox as our default browser (Sorry Microsoft!). However, when clicking on this shortcut/link from the toolbar, the page opens with IE. (IE 7). However, when opening the containing folder where the same link is stored and opening the link from the containing folder, it opens properly in Firefox. So...what the heck is going on here??? And, yes, Firefox is set as the default browser. Help please! Thanks. Rebecca

How do I upgrade from XP Home edition to XP Professional
- Hello folks... Happy new year to everyone! We are still a XP shop and XP will be our standard for a while longer and I can't change that. But now I need to upgrade four Dell notebook Computers from XP Home edition to XP PROFESSIONAL. I read somewhere that I can buy licensing for Windows 7 and then call Microsoft to obtain Media and product keys for XP Professional after I receive the Windows 7 media. Is that true? In any case, I need to get XP Professional for 4 Dell notebook computers. What is the best way to proceed and is this even possible? What phone number do I call at Microsoft to obtain this information perhaps even obtaining part numbers and get a clearly written document that says I can get this done?

Recurring folder on desktop
- I am using XP SP3 with Word 2003 and have a somewhat strange issue I would appreciate some feedback on. I created a folder on my desktop that I stored items in before transferring them named â??Compilation.â?? After I stopped using this computer for transferring stuff, I deleted the folder, emptied the recycling bin, ran CCleaner, and disk clean up. For some reason thatâ??s beyond me, thereafter everytime I have started my machine the folder re-appears! I have tried changing the name, but a new â??Compilationâ?? folder still shows up. Any ideas as to how I can make it go away?
Looking for advice on PC Cloning?
- I finally have enough of the same model computers where I can start to think about cloning... I found this review and wanted to see if anyone has any advice on what I should use. http://disk-imaging-software-review.toptenreviews.com I've used "Norton Ghost" a few years back, it worked well and I suspect it's been updated since I used it... The Paragon and Norton Ghost both have a Change SID option. When I used Ghost before I used a Microsoft utility SysPrep, I believe it wiped the SID and then I would make a copy of the disk\partition... Any real world advice for todays world? Any considerations for Windows 7? I'm currently running XP Pro but will soon add some 7 machines. Any advice would be appreciated! Kelvin
Uncommanded Update Check
- A few days ago I changed the automatic update settings (Control Panel->Security) to only check for updates each Thursday at 8am. This morning, Wednesday, I was surprised to get an alert for a Silverlight update. Does anyone know why this happened? Would another program like McAffee (which I have installed now), or Microsoft Security Essentials (which I plan to replace McAffee with) independently check for updates? Thanks Scott Los Angeles
XP slow to load programs
- This is one of those questions that I don't think anyone has an answer to. The programs on my xp machine are very slow to load ie outlook takes 3 minutes. The loading time keep getting longer and longer over time. I did all the standard stuff, defragged, ran three spyware programs, three registry cleanup programs, ran windows update, limited the number of startup programs, ran disk cleanup and etc. I have 2 gig or ram and half of my 200g hard drive is empty. It just keeps slowing down over the months. Sadly, I think that this is just standard windows behaviour that we have come to accept and live with. Is there any real fix that anyone is aware of that actually works to retstore performance besides reformatting? Thank you.

Mystery disabled icon on desktop - how remove it?
- Using XP Home SP3. An icon has appeared on the desktop of my wife's laptop. The icon is grayed out as though it is disabled. It does not have a caption. If I right click the icon I get a context menu with three choices: Cut Create Shortcut Delete Choosing cut does nothing. Choosing Create Shortcut produces an error dialog with the message, "Windows could not create the shortcut. Check to see if the disk is full." Choosing Delete displays a confirmation dialog with the message, "Are you sure you want to delete these icons from your desktop? To restore later, go to control panel." The only icon I want to delete is the unlabled grayed out icon. I do not want to delete any others, therefore, I am afraid to try the Delete choice on the menu since I do not know what will be deleted or how to restore it via Control Panel. Can anyone tell me what this mysterious icon is and how to get rid of it? By the way, I have checked in Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop and in Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop and the mystery icon does not appear in either folder. -- .Bill.
Another Recover vs Format/reinstall question
- Greetings, All. This has probably been answered here someplace, but seeing as there are about a gajillion questions and answers, I figured it'd be quicker to ask afresh. So: I have a few-years old Dell (WinXP SP3 and all attendant updates) that is suffering from the usual ailments; slowness, etc. I'm PRETTY sure it came with a recovery disk vice an actual WinXP disc [I'm at work, and it's at home]. My question (in a few parts) is this: Since these discs are supposed to return your PC to "factory condition", is there a difference between just popping it in and going, or doing a complete format and THEN reinstalling? Does either carry an advantage? Part II: if indeed it is a Recovery disc, is there a way to backup the beaucoup updates that have come out since then, or am I doomed to redownload alllllll of them? :-p Part III: if I luck out and it's a WinXP disc instead of Recovery, what is the *best* way to create a slipstream disc, so as to avoid the aforementioned re-downloading horror? Many thanks! Chuck

AOL error upon boot-up
- Frequently upon boot-up AOL (loading of aol.exe) produces an error and says that it must close down. A huge error report is produced, a text file of about 230K. A typical file name would be "fofd_appcompat.txt". The report means little to me as I am not a programmer. Since AOL will not help, do I have any options for getting help? Sending the error report to Microsoft, as suggested in the error message, has never resulted in any feedback.

Virus infection on a T60 ==> how best to reinstall WindowsXP? Can I

Message Printing Problem
- Hi, I am attempting to find an answer to a problem for a friend.

Can anybody help me with an answer? Below is the exchange I had with my friend. Thanks for any help sent my way on this subject. Frog --------------- > Once again I need our help with computer stuff. Ann's brother-in-law in Chicago sends a message every week. It appears just fine while I am reading it on the screen, but when printed it prints in small print?? If I "reply" to his message, he has the same problem. If I "create" a message it appears and prints just fine on his end. He uses JUNO and I have Verizon. I have done as much checking (obviously very little) as I can to see how I can correct that. He is almost computer illiterate, so we are a less than educated pair when it comes to computers. Can you assist us? > > Ken --------------- Ken, Not sure I can help with this problem--but will do what I can. I have already looked through all of the information I have on hand here with no solutions found. I was about ready to put your note on the newsgroup to see what guidance I could get from there, if that is okay with you. If so, I will need a little more information from you before I can proceed.

I was going to attempt a Windows XP repair. However my original product disk is SP2 and I have upgraded to SP3. Can I still do a repair from my product disk or do I need an SP3 disk? If I need an SP3 disk can I use any SP3 disk? Do I have to uninstall IE7 before I do this? Is there anything else I can attempt before a repaid Also if the repair does not work, basically I have the same question for a re-install. Do I re-install from the original disk and then download the upgrade to SP3?

- I am trying sort files that were created in a certain folder since December 5, 2009 until the current date. These files can be of the following file extensions PDF, ZIP, RAR. The files should be sorted in descending date created order with the oldest files on top. This works when one file type is involved. However, when the "Date Created" column is clicked, with multiple files in the search results; it does not sort correctly in descending or ascending order. How do I make Window XP sort the file search results in descending "Date Created" order with multiple file types?
