If I may, I'd like to ask a related question. I have a mobile rack. On the drive in the removable tray I have Acronis images of my XP OS backed...
I'm particularly interested in the claims: Boot any partition on any hard drive (via BIOS) Not quite sure how this works, though. Boot...
I was hoping the dual boot would just default to the OS present if the Ubuntu drive was not present. But it won't, so I ran fixmbr from the rc....
No there wasn't. The dual boot worked fine as long as the Ubuntu disk was in the tray. But if I removed it to use my back up disk int the tray,...
I found an old unused 30GB drive. I put it in the removable tray of my mobile rack (IDE), where I keep my Acronis back up images, and installed...
Re: Obuntu question. Let me ask for an opinion. I won't hold anyone to it. Rather than install Ubuntu to a separate partition on my main XP...
Re: Obuntu question. Thanks. I will read the site. ~Dave
Actually it's a partitioning question, I guess. I'm running XP Pro NTFS. I was going to install Ubuntu just to play around with it, and maybe...
I'm pretty sure XP MBR has to be repaired from the Recovery Console. The command fixmbr I think is the one to use. ~Dave
I don't understand why anyone wants to partition a drive in the first place. Partitioning just muddies the waters, so to speak. I've never had any...
I've just been using the free scan through the internet site. I have not installed the program on my machine. And it does run just fine with...
Does anyone have recommendations with regard to this free scanner? It seems pretty good to me. It's kind of expensive if you want to buy it,...
Well the APC seems to work just fine. The Powerchute 2.0 Personal Edition allows for shutting off alarms, and making a couple decisions about how...

Personally I've been burnt by M$ with all their previous releases of Windows. XP is the first really decent OS I've gotten from them that's been...
Thanks very much. Me three. Or 4 or 5 or whatever number is next. ~Dave
I can't find warewolf in the members list. So I can't look up the context of this post. Could you be a little less vague please? ~Dave
Seems like Micr$oft is still considering a subscription based OS. ~Dave
Windows 7? http://www.winsupersite.com/faq/windows_7.asp More problems still? ~Dave
Excellent. I will try it. Thanks very much. I'm currently using AVG free. Would I have to remove it to try Avast? ~Dave
Got it. Just disregard if you don't want to tell me what you think of Avast. Just remove this thread please, Bubba. ~Dave
What do you guys think of Avast? I have heard it's better than AVG. ~Dave
Wow. Thanks for all the great advise. I ordered the APC 900VA one suggested by Mudcrab and Bubba. I'll let you know how it goes, as I've never...
I have used Tripplite surge suppressors in the past. They have always been very fine products. ~Dave
That's great! Thanks, Bubba et al. ~Dave
