I have never any experience with this but I will try to give a bit of cautious advice. Use a damp sponge, dampen the label. Let sit,keep damp. Scrape label off. I would say take time to not get water on data surface. Trail and error. After you did a few try writing to floppy and copying data off. Good Luck M

You can pick personalities after being around them for a while. Like Shadow said "link Master" for sultan. Il is smart with a bent sence of humor. Even here I could just about put the name to the post in most cases. M

thesidekickcat A few pointers: Turn machine off. Make notes and or diagrams to what goes where. Use masking tape to labels for things your not certian of. Don't work on carpet. Maintain as much contact with metal of case as possible. Remember to have patience. It is also good to have a working machine with internet to return here for help. M

The $50 million dollars will be a hard sell. I may have to ask her to get a second job. I wouldn't be able to work with a machine like that at home. M

If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance.... Baffle them with Bull$h!t.

I have two seperate physical drives, when I "move" files it is actually a copy. The file is still on "C" and has to be deleted after the move. Don't think it would do that with you but something to remember if you did happen to install a second drive. M

The Ten Commandments of PC Security Fight off nasty viruses, worms, and Trojan horses by following these simple rules.

mac I have to agree with you. the show would be funnier, content my suck but it would be funny.

Hell HGTV is better than G4 at least I can learn something there. @ G4 I feel like the kid looking in the windows of stores @ christmas time, wanting but just can't get it. M

Have anyone used it? Windows search is good enough for me for now. M

install runs through without errors? Goto manufatures website, download diagnostic tools, run to test drive. Drive may have bad sectors. OS CD is free of scratches/smudges? Label side of cd is free of scratches? M

I take it you are DSL or always connected service. You may be losing bandwith to another application connecting to the internet. I personally have ZA to ask when any connection is attempted, execpt IE and Firefox. In ZA Program Control/Programs tab, here you can set the option to ask/block/allow or remove programs that may not be used anymore. Not sure if this would solve the problem, not sure what is meant by "firewall doesn't accept it". M

A friend of mine has some partitions that range from 1gb to about 5gb. His reasoning is to have him burn off data as that partition is filled. Of course he has larger partitions for testing s'ware before installing and using on primary. One partition has a default download folder. Games on one. M
