Originally posted by DJ RozzeR Okay im going to go on a rampage and kill anyone you gets in my way , my Alcatel home 500 from BT aint workin , its says there is NO DIAL TONE , which is a load of shit coz i tested the socket 10 times, this means that there is a corrupt network device on my pc , which aint fixable as the driver wont install , ive tried upgrading the drivers and still wont work , ive tried to install XP over 98 and its all gone tits up , its saying No OS found on HD , im sure you have seen the error before, so now im gonna have to reinstall everything from fresh , and ill prob be back online in a few days , Ive backed a few mp3's up but only 3 Gb worth.

Ok first, why would you need a dial tone on adsl, its always on, u just plug the thing in. no connection needed

Second, even if you needed to dial up, it is just a currupt setting, u can correct this by uninstalling the tc/ip stuff, and then when u start up yr comp again they well auto reinstal. And then you reinstal the modem if needed.

Third: Why do people change from fat32 to ntfs, i always stay with fat32, so it is easier to go back to 98, etc, and you dont get problems

fourth: unplug the hard drive take it round yr many friends, and go and set it up as a slave, and then burn everything u want from it

If you r going to do things like this always back up first.

Or do what i do, i have a 4gig hard drive for Win Xp, and everything else goes on my 60gig, so it is easy to reformat the 4 gig

Or you can do it with partitions, it doesnt take a genius to do that

So before u do something stupid talk to someone who knows.

Im lucky because i always ask my next door neighbour who job is to fix computers, and also the person who built mine

And if all else faisl talk to someone like swamper, he will point u in the reight direction

So there we go

___________________

one word backups, the way i do mine is to have a "new stuff" folder, once this gets to 650-700 meg big wack it onto a cd then file all the stuff in new stuff in to my music and vid and programs etc folder, for any important documents i have i alsho have a copy on my isp's webspace. with the cost of blank cd's so cheep and a slow cd writers geting their price reduced all the time people have no excuse to not back up.

the prob with xp is unless u install it right it may want to convert your harddive format from FAT32 to NTFS, as NTFS does have a few benifits as it is more secure... but it only works best when formatting a drive, not converting a FAT32 drive to NTFS

i personally use XP Pro and i think it is alot better than ME and 98, but thats wot i have found for wot i use my pc for, other people may be better off sticking with 98

Why NTFS?
1. It's more secure. (anything else here?)
2. It allows up to 4 TERABYTES per partition, whereas, with FAT 32, you can only have 32 GB per partition.

My friend has a SINGLE partition of 650 GIGABYTES! It's multiple HDDs in RAID 0. He told me that he has it set up this way because you have as many times more speed as you have HDDs (u have 4 HDDs, you get 4 times speed). Here's a better explanation: If you have five 10,000 RPM HDDs, in RAID 0, as 1 big partition, it'll be like having ONE 50,000 RPM HDD.

Did this answer anything you asked?

ok, i do get carried away at sometimes but we get so many threads with ppl losing mp3's. Back your mp3's up on cd-r's, (they are cheap and convient) and then you don't have that problem. I mean, so many ppl keep going on and on about losing mp3's and personally i feel sad for them and feel some anger sometimes. I mean, back the mp3's that you need the most on cd-r's because then you will have them if you lose your data on computer.
