PM isn't going anywhere yet... I too had used it exclusively for 5+ years, and I do a lot of fiddling... But at least I kinda know what I'm...
Mark, it seems that I've moved beyond PM... Ironically, that is rtrhe one Norton product that I've kept around because it worked right! Seems...
Boy have you got THAT righ. Especially since I had re-sized my partitions, and set up SUSE, and THEN this! Well, my Acronis was up to date,...
Guys, that's what I had kinda thought... It's a little surprising, as XP is certainly no new kid on the block either, but then oh well......
I'm a good boy, and I do what I'm told. So when Norton's PartitionMagic told me that my entire disk's file table (three partitions, one of which...
I posted to the TextPad forum... I see no difference, but the program DOES offer the choice on saving... Regards, CB
The UNIX/DOS part makes total sense... But what if you're offered a choice of PC/DOS or PC/ANSI? CB
MC: I'm backtracking just a touch, but since it happened and ended up being an issue: What file format are the boot.ini files supposed to be...
MC: >> In what order where things ORIGINALLY installed on your computer? Windows XP->OSS->Suse ?? << Yup and then you re-activate OSS....
Yes, if I restart from within SUSE, it reboots the machine; if I Suspend, or log out, it returns to the SUSSE opeing menu, from which there isn't...
One and two are now OK... thanks ever so... I believe that the (SUSE) install put the boot process into the MBR, 'cause they discussed that in...
When I started this oddyssey, when OSS started up, a countdown window showed up, and if I did nothing, it would start the (I guess) default....
MC: ME myself got all my shortcuts in order! Sooner or later I listen to instructions, dontcha know? Now, two (fairly tiny) details: I...
MC: What the heck do I do about the order of the items? I saw the file you noted... is there a way to avoid catastrophe when editing it?...
MC: I DID read your notes, and DID try to adhere; I plead insanity due to circumstance. I IMMEDIATELY posted to the textpad site about this...
MC: (!!!!!) I went back and looked again: If I pull the file (before my last correction) up in TextPad, it shows as an ANSI format file....
MC! I found it! On a whim, I went back to take one more look. This time, when I opened the boot.ini file, instead of using Textpad (my...
MC: I'm totally baffled. Here's what I've got so far: I uninstalled Disk Doctor, searched and deleted and files or folders related, and...
MC: Yes, I did view the video, thanks. It was/is clear from one point: once you (I) have OSS installed the viceo process kicks in -- AFTER......
MC: Dunno what the heck I did wrong, but I got to a point that my box wouldn't boot. So I've uninstalled OSS and restored the MBR from an...
MC: I'm 2 for 3. I've got the "regular" and the "safe mode" working. I cannot however, get the RConsole to take. It keeps just booting...
Got it. I THINK i've got it now... I'll be waitin'. Thanks again, MC. Regards, Chuck
MC: One (last?) Question: Is there a way to control in what order the different entries will appear when booting? Are the (always)...
Uh...duh... I think the bulb MAY be going on... I'm gonna go try it ... dunno where you are so it may be close to your bedtime, but I'll be...
MC: Also: How'd you get the different entries in there to edit in the first place? Do I take the boot.ini, create "several" duplicate...
