HELP!!

Antipathy 2005-02-23 10:03:24 ET im not sure what to do with my computer. i have 2 harddrives. Harddrive 1 contains Windows 2000 Harddrive 2 contains Windows XP whenever windows XP loads, harddrive 2 is nonexistant. whenever windows 2000 loads, both drives are accessable. would it be stupid to delete all traces of windows XP, so it doesnt load and i can always access both drives??

tymahtron5000 2005-02-23 10:58:19 ET umm sounds like your xp is fat32 format and your win2000 is ntfs .... fat 32 can't use ntfs but ntfs can use fat32... so a solution would be to convert your xp partition to ntfs... there are other ways to accomplish what you want also

delete yourself 2005-02-23 11:03:21 ET i was thinking opening up her box and fuck with the prong settings, and see if one is not set as slave or what.

Antipathy 2005-02-23 11:08:48 ET i dont know how to convert anything... on top of this all, ive been working at this store for 3 weeks and yet to get a paycheck!! im not VOULENTEERING my time.. i need money!

tymahtron5000 2005-02-23 11:16:38 ET yah... i'm about to sue rockford because its been like 2 months since i've gotten my last check... getting tired of waiting.... you can use partition magic to convert it... it wouldn't be her jumpers because her win2k can recognize her xp.... you can format your xp harddrive and reinstall it... just make sure to make the partition ntfs this time... then you should be able to use both harddrives on both windows

delete yourself 2005-02-23 11:51:22 ET dude if i were you i would have jacked them for my money. a couple of good amps a couple of sub's and i would have been like peace keep it real!

Antipathy 2005-02-23 11:52:06 ET well, mainly what i wanna do is only have XP but be able to use my other drive, but when XP runs (the computer decides whether it wants to run XP or win2k.. i have no control over it) i cant access my other drive, like its not even there..i wanna get rid of 2000, do you think that if i delete 2000 then XP would recognize the other drive because there wouldnt be another OS on it?

delete yourself 2005-02-23 11:54:29 ET thats fucked up like bad BAD! you sure you didnt fuck around in bios to see what harddrive you can start from defaultly?

tymahtron5000 2005-02-23 12:18:26 ET umm it should... if not then its what delete yourself said... it would be the jumpers then if it didn't... and i'm sure he can come over and help his ladie out ^^ and yeah every day i pick up my friend that still works there.. i wait outside and can see into a room where they install parts.... need a glasscutter soooo badly.... major come up i'm talkin about like 3 4 grand worth of stuff in there... and thats just running in a grabbing shit

klemmy 2005-02-23 12:54:18 ET you could always use a program like Norton Commander that would allow you to run both programs with the ability to pick which one runs (hell, i dont remember if they still make Norton commander...)

delete yourself 2005-02-24 06:46:09 ET i remember norton commander, its like a dos shell. smash and grab!!!

Antipathy 2005-02-24 07:50:55 ET well, also when i run Win2k, the comp is real slow... i dont know, rather than mess something up with my lack of computer knowledge, im gonna bring it down to a comp store and ask for help coz james doesnt seem to wanna get one of his computer savvy friends to help me out.

delete yourself 2005-02-24 08:51:38 ET umm, hey i havent been online aside from work in a long time, thats the only place i see them!
