If your computer is older than 5 years then it probably won't utilize any of the newer bigger hard drives. The bios will recognize the disk it just will be a smaller size. If this is s newer computer then it will recognize and use a disk of any size.

Use Grub as the bootloader. If you have an existing XP install use something like Partition Magic to create the partitions for the Linux install.

Howdy there bigdogcolorado. Welcome to the site.

Check network tcp/ip properties. You can add your IP and DNS info there.

Howdy and welcome.

How many times did it beep? Does it beep when you try to start it now? If it does how many beeps? Those beeps are very importat when troublehsooting hardware problems. They tell us if the memory is bad, if the video card is bad and much more. My bet is your cpu died.

How is tcp/ip configured for the network? DHCP? Static IP? What does ipconfig /all say?

windows xp wont start - missing file? help
AWS replied to gixer1100's topic in Tech Help and Discussions
Why not just put the XP cd in the cd drive and boot from it? Do a repair install and it will replace the corrupt file preserving all your files and settings. You could also use the repair console to replace the file or start with a msdos disk with cd support and copy the missing file from the cd. It would be cheaper and easier than buying another hard drive. The person at Best Buy is trying to make the commision of selling you a drive you don't need. -
If we knew what virus you are infected with we could help you remove it. Try to make a list of all the tasks running in task manager and post is.

Before an upgrade one of my servers boot drive was 18 gigs. It was at capacity which was 16.2Gigs and ran fine like that for 2 years until I took the server offline. Of course nothing was being written to the drive during the whole time. I had to move the logs to another drive since they grow. Once you hit capacity you'll know because you'll get no space left on device errors if you try to write to it. As far as running at 100% the drive will run at 100% if it is at capacity. You just can't write to it.

You can install OEM versions on any box. You can only have it installed on one box at a time. Best bet is to buy the update version instead of the full version. It is cheaper. As long as you have a copy of 95, 98, ME or 2000 Pro to use on install you'll be ok. You can still only have it installed on one box at a time.

More than likely the driver is outdated or didn't install correctly. My wife has the same problem with a Cannon camera. She had to reinstall the drivers just about every time she hooked it up until I found a newer driver for it..

Is at all possible that the cable you're connecting with is bad? I'm sure it is probably is ok, but, you tried everything else that you could possibly try. Did you try assigning an IP and gateway to the network card instead of setting it to obtain IP?

The missing space is holding the ntfs or fat32 partition table and cluster information. You'll never be able to access the full size of a disk. The OS has to reserve space for this information. The bigger the disk the more space the OS uses to store this data.

Howdy and welcome.

I think it does.
