Greetings, everyone! There's a mystery drive partition on my system. Can anyone please confirm what it's used for/by? I'm running a triple boot of Server x64 RC2, Vista x64 SP1 RC, and Vista x86, installed on two internal hard disk drives. These are SATA drives, but not hybrids. They both have 8MB caches. (One is a Samsung HM250JI. The other is a Hitachi TravelStar 7K100.) I also have 1GB...

Hello everyone, This is incredibly confusing: It's my understanding that this is the registry key where the value of the L2 cache is set: In Server 2008 RC2 (Hyper-V) the value I'm finding is 0!!!! What's going on? Am I not making any use of the 4MB of L2 cache in my Centrino Pro? Shouldn't

Hello everyone, Here's another odd memory issue cropping up: In this laptop there's 1GB Turbo Memory installed, but the NVCACHE partition that the OS created is 513MB. Can anyone explain what's going on? Also, ReadyBoost returns to 'disabled' each time I check the box in the driver interface. On the latter, does a USB drive need to be plugged in in order for it to ever stay on a setting of...

Dear all, sorry for my poor english, I hope you all may understand what I mean and helping me. I often use my windows xp for dvd-ram backup before, last week I've upgrade my computer and bundled with Vista Ultimate. At first, I've tried to format my DVD-RAM in vista (with the My Computer Drive function in UDF 2.01), then I've backup serval files in my DVD-RAM easily (just like harddisk...

Anyone have any ideas on this one. I have 3 SATA drives attached to Ports 1 2 and 3. Port 0 is empty, will become a RAID1 with Port1 when I get drive replaced. Drive Letters are C, D, E Problem is copys between drives freezes VISTA for minutes depending on file size being copied. Event Viewer shows a bunch of these errors:

Occasionally, my microsoft usb keyboard won't function when I start the computer, but it's fine when I re-start. This isn't a big problem, but I was just curious as to what could be causing this to happen. Thanks -- A7X808

On my physical drive I have 3 primary partitions (one is active with Vista installed) and one extended which contains one local drive. Besides there are 90gb unallocated space just before the extended partition. I wanted to use this unallocated space by extending the extended partition into that unallocated space, but the Extend Volume commany in the relevant menu is grayed. Why and how do I...

But task manager shows 1534 mb ram... it also shows i have 1gb occupied, which is 66% according to task manager. Is this a hardware problem or an OS problem? I don't hope windows is...

I have a Gateway MT6485 laptop with a Marvell TOPDOG (TM) PCI-Express 802.11 1n Wireless (EC85) wireless adapter. The adapter does not work after the laptop is put in sleep mode.

Advice please: I have installed 2nd 250 G HDD and plan to install XP on it, and then do a dual boot configuration with Vista Home Premium (which came installed on new Dell E520). I've read up on the dual boot issues -- so my question is not about dual boot. It's about HDD formatting. Any recommendations about the best way to pre-format the 2nd HDD to provide for: 1) boot partition 2) XP...

I am running Vista 32-bit. I have an HP Officejet 6110xi. When I run Windows update, there is an update for Officejet 6100. However, this update never installs properly. Is there another way to download this update and try to install it manually or a way to get Windows Update to properly install this update? Thanks.
