I have a P3 800 Mhz system. I have a 250 Watt power supply. The motherboard I have now is maxed out with the 800 Mhz processor so I will have to replace both the processor and motherboard. My question is, how much of an upgrade will this power supply support?
We I tried what Bacillis said and rebooted the message I got was "cannot open volume for direct access" and it didn't work. Is there a way I can reboot and run from a dos prompt? what would the command line be? Any other ideas?
I am running windows xp and NTFS file system. How do I run CHKDSK on startup. I have typed chkdsk c:/f at the run prompt and it says
"The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule...
Go to a command prompt (Start/programs/accessories/command prompt) and type in sfc/scanonce. Then reboot. Upon reboot Xp will scan all your windows files and replace any that are damaged or corrupted. Make sure you have your Xp disk handy. It should fix your problem.
So I should be able to create a 45 Gig NTFS partition and then format it using XP then? This is what I tried to do originally and it would not work. So I finally formatted it Fat 32 and converted it. I tried several different ways of doing it (fdisk/Xp Cd) and was not succesful. How exactly do...
I had no choice but to convert it since you can't format a partition >32 Gig NTFS. I guess next time around I'll make it a smaller partition. I have tried several partitions before and I didn't like it. It seemed the programs always wanted to install to the C drive and if I forced them to...
I am running Xp pro. I have a single partiton of 45 gig formatted Fat 32 then converted to NTFS. This thing seems to fragment very quickly. Much faster than I remember with Windows Me or 98. What could be causing this? I do have system restore enabled and I reboot fairly often. Could that be...
I am running windows xp and paperport 6.1 with the win6100u2k drivers. My scanner is a 6100USB by visioneer. When I try to print anything from within paperport I get the icon that says" waiting for printer link to complete" The link never completes and if I try to go ahead and print I get a...
Additionally you can try typing sfc/runonce at a command prompt (start/programs/accessories/command prompt) this will bring up a dos-like menu to allow you to re-install your windows files. It takes a little bit, but usually fixes glitches like these.
Thanks for a straight answer. That is all I wanted to know, just tired of reading the term and not understanding what it means.
Mod, you can lock this now I have my answer, and would hate to offend you

2. On the View menu, click Folder Options (or Options).

No that is not normal. I have formatted and re-installed OS a couple of times with XP corporate using a windows 98 boot disk to fromat it Fat32. Once I installed OS I converted it to NTFS. I'm not sure why it did not give you a choice. I have no experience (thank God) with Compaq's though.
