| 131647 | 2003-04-25 22:41:00 | Umm it depends on what u mean by incompatible hardware . CD Creator is software not hardware . XP (Well PRO anyway), with some PCI cards . If you try and install PCI cards, it'll give you a data is invalid error (and will refuse to install the drivers for it, so the device will run)! This has nothing to do with incompatible hardware . This is a bug in XP (dunno if this happens in Home, BUT does in XP PRO) . And it may also happen if you've formatted in NTFS (dunno, if it'll happen with FAT32) . This is to do with XP NOT giving the hardware permission to enter it's data into the registry (It's a registry permission BUG) . (It's like XP saying, who are you) . You weren't invited, so you can't add yourself to the registry lol . And this is why this data is invalid error appears on some systems, especially when you try and install the drivers for it, on XP . It used to happen on this PC I'm on, and the only thing I could do, was go into the registry to give it permission (the PCI card), and reboot, then it'd load the drivers . BUT since I've formatted this hdd, that data is invalid error has disappeared and gone for good! |

| 131649 | 2003-04-26 00:40:00 | TiM©:*)... I suggest that you change IF you are rebuilding your system anyway. If you are not, then it is probably more hassle that it is worth. .Clueless |

Also when I upgraded a 500 Celeron >to an Athlon XP 1800 I found the biggest gain in speed was going from >FAT to NTFS . The security benifits are huge also . I recon its worth the hassle, but I change later, too busy lately Tim |

| 131652 | 2003-04-27 00:32:00 | stupid nt4 locked me out again. this on a desktop - 2nd pc to my lappie. its only a p200. have win95 as well for dualboot so i use my scanner (isa). it was fine yesterday while emailin and surfin. then last nite i turned it on and it had a blue screen - begginning physcial memory dump. fullstop! i resetted and it did the same thing over and over again.... i also tried pressing space-bar to invoke previous successful config -- still failed. heck i jus turned it on and it did that for no reason. b4 i did nothin except emailin and surfing........ as i have win95 on it too. am using that now. its fat16 so its safe. i also have no files to backup either. if this was ntfs with nt4 only and i had impt files. i would be stuffed!!!
