I'm planning on building a new computer. I was thinking of of using a couple (RAID 0) of SSD for my boot partition (C), and a large RAID 5 ( 2 TiB) for my data partition (D). Assuming my motherboard is not EFFI and my boot partition is MBR, can I format my RAID 5 with a GUID Partition Table (to get around the 2 TiB limit of MBR) and put an NTFS file system on it? Are there tools in the...

That's what command powercfg -devicequery wake_armed tells me when I run it after the machine wakes from Sleep. Bizarre! Anyone else seen this? TIA. Gary

I upgraded to Vista about a month ago and since then my computer (used as a PVR) just keeps crashing. It is not even crashing with a blue screen, it just completely shuts off. After one of these crashes, I can't just power the PC back on either, I have to disconnect the power supply, flip the power switch, reconnect the power supply then boot. I'd swear it was just a HW problem myself but...

Hello, I have a dual monitor setup at home. I've enabled remote desktop on it so that I cannot connect to it from elsewhere. The dual monitors have different resolutions, one is an LCD, the other is a CRT. Whenever I remote desktop in, only a single screen is available, which is fine.

Hi... I'm new to the groups so forgive me if I posted this in the wrong area. I've been running Vista Premium for about 5 months now.

I do not know what caused it but have just got my PC back to its former state with regards to software and files, including installing all the Windows updates - to bring my machine up to date (again). Today I have experienced several instances where the PC has rebooted following hibernation. Following the...

Neither the laptop nor the QuickDock have a parallel printer connection, so I bought a USB parallel adapter and tried to hook it up.
