There's probably an obvious answer to this, but it doesn't come to
mind.
A while back I rearranged the drive letters on all my XP drives except
C:.  Now I would like to put them back to the way they would be as

I have an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe 2.0.
I have used to have "auto" set for all my IDE-devices in BIOS:
Previous setup:

I have an old company Dell PII laptop that has Window 2000 on it.  I dont
have the password and want to use it as backup server to run some external
HDs.
What is the cheapest way to get a fresh OS install so I can have full

I have several 120 GB  h/d's that are single-partitioned to FAT32 and
are used extensively as USB2 drives attached to a Windows 98SE system.
ONE of these drives is not recognzied by my Win2000 system (data
management reports that the drive is not a valid Windows format????).

I have recently installed Ghost 9 on my 120GB hard disk with 50 GB of
used space on it and much to my regret have found that backing it up on
a second 40GB drive is impossible since the created image file is
bigger than the source data. In other words the destination drive must

Norton Ghost 7.5 boot floppies can copy NTFS source partitions to image
files on FAT32 destination partitions.  FAT is the only hard disk
format recognized by the PC-DOS/MS-DOS on the floppies.  There are
elaborate instructions provided by Symantec to make a boot CD, but it's

Anyone have experience with scsi and ata on the same system?  Will this
work without problem?  Is it a bad idea?
Thanks in advance

I'll adding new disk from the EMC SAN and I am wondering if it's possible to
able to
mount the new disk without rebooting.  So far fdisk or sfdisk will not see the
newly presented disk with a reboot.

Yesterday I was having to re locate some of my hardware so that my new
ATA 133 80 pin cable would reach, and in the process of moving my Maxtor
30Gb slave drive, I inadvertently let the front end fall about 1/2
inches in the drive bay. Oooops, thats done it, I thought. Time for

Currently have a 2810SA with 4 250G hard drives in a Raid 5
configuration.  I've realized that if I continue to put 250G drives up
to the maximum of 8, I will not be able to take advantage of full 2T
drive limit of XP.  I would like to upgrade the drives to 300G

I've got a couple of IDE hard drives lying around (1 x 40GB and 1 x 60GB)
but no spare IDE slots in my PC.
I've seen a fairly cheap "2 port IDE RAID (0,1) ATA133 PCI card".
Unfortunately the shop doesn't give details of the manufacturer of this

I have a HD that came out of my old system (Maxtor Diamond). I want to
look into it and transfer some of the data on that disc to my IBM
Thinkpad. Is there a way I can hook it up (in an external HD box) and
get that data out? Any other advice would help.

how do you correct this problem?

I have a USB external hard drive for back up.  It was formatted by a Linux
server and now when I plug it into my USB on my Windows XP PC, it wont see
the drive.  It recoginzes there is a HD there, but it doesnt show up at all
as external storage in the drive list.

I have just installed Ghost 9 and have done a baseline backup onto a
separate hard disk of 40GB. I now want to do an incremental backup and
here is what I am doing:
