| | Re: Windows Backup Hello, Depends on what you call "backup". If you did a drag-n-drop of all the files, then NO, it would not work, because you would not be grabbing any of the invisible system files, such as the registry. I am not sure if Windows Backup will talk to anything other …  |
| | Hello, I would save any data you have on those drives, and format the box clean. I would also partition that 200 GB drive into three volumes: System (C:), Applications (D:), and Data (E:). Partitioning will prevent data loss due to logical / system issues, but partitioning will not protect …  |

| | Hello, To follow up with DMR, yes it is possible. You should be even able to mirror the two drives together if you tried. Service packs are also very important. Back in the days of NT 4, there were drives that were larger than what NT 4 could work with, … |
| | Hello, I assume that other things are printing to your printer just fine, and that IE can print something like foxnews.com just fine. It is my *guess* that data is not reaching the print driver properly, or that the driver is not interpreting things properly. Does Print Preview show the … |
| | Hello, I am wondering if this is still happening to you. What version of OS X are you running? 10.0 and 10.1 were, um, not the best for printing. 10.2 introduced CUPS printing (better) and 10.3 has worked fine for me. Let us know, Christian |

| | Re: sendmail config Hello, I am not a sendmail expert, but in order to set mine up, I had to get DNS working first. I thought that I could get away with sendmail using the /etc/hosts file, but in the end, I had to get DNS setup first, with MX records. When I … |
