Resizing a Partition -- Win XP

dbegmore
Hi, Im running Win XP pro sp2 and have a temp HDD with 40 GB. It contains 4 partitions (C,D,E,F). Windows is installed on the first partition C: which has only 3. 8 GB of space !! ;( B'cause of this it is very difficult to install programs as they take space on C: no matter on what drive I install them.

Updating of wpa.dbl file in XP Pro OEM version

Handssolow
I'm a bit mystified by the functioning of the wpa. dbl file. There lots of information on the web about how XP creates a snap-shot of your hardware and if you change too many hardware components you have to call MS to reactivate your copy of Windows.

Need HELP! - RCA LYRA RD 2840A

skud2121
Just got the 2840 and was able to transfer a few files onto the device. Shortly there after everything locked up, computer and all. Now when the device is turned on without being hooked to the PC, it pauses at the RCA boot up screen for about five minutes and then flashes a warning about missing sys files.

HELP! Computer reboots after installing new RAM

andr7022
AHHH! I don't know much but I didn't think installing more RAM would be this frustrating. I purchased the exact same RAM as what I have but it makes my computer keep rebooting over and over again. I went into BIOS and it shows up so what's up?? Please help.

Case Wiring/Cables

tool_462
I have a quick question about replacing some cables inside my case. I am looking at getting a new floppy disk cable, a new dual cable that connects both my 5 1/2 drives, and a new single cable to connect my HDD.

IE Save as ... as Firefox

dxi
The save as function in IE - unlike Firefox - doesn't remember the last choice, so when I'm manually saving a page in the only html format (the most of my savings) I don't have to select this format every time, out of the default full page option.

Laptop Mods

trebuchet03
Hey everyone, I am a big fan of DIY projects. I don’t like to just buy the product, I want to build it and make it better. I've decided that I want to do two things: 1. Perform some Mods to My laptop case (for looks and to enhance cooling abilities for longevity).
