I've installed a new harddrive but I can't see it in My Computer. It is visible in BIOS and Device Manager. It is not formated as many of my friends say I have to do. But HOW?
In Disk Manager there is no way to format the drive (what I can see)!
I'm running Windows 2000 Server

You may have to partition the drive first.
Right-click on the drive in the bottom pane in the Disk Management applet, and select 'Create Partition' (I think thats what the option is, I don't have an blank drive handy)
Searching the web without Google is like straining sewage with your teeth.

Here is a screenshoot in Disk Manager where I try to do what you say: http://duden.mine.nu/scr.jpg[^]
What am I doing wrong? Or am I clicking in the wrong place?

I don't know why a login dialog box is showed when I want to view that picture!
But press Enter and you'll see it!

You don't have the permissions set properly to allow public access - we can't see the screenshot.

And did you click enter as I said?
I do get that screen too, and I just press enter and the picture is shown!

Yup, I clicked enter as instructed. You can see it because you have an account on the server - I don't. Make sure the file has IUSR_YOURMACHINE in its list of authorized users, and that the folder is enabled for websharing.

I'd right-clicked on the file and choosed Properties->File Security->Anonymious access and authentication control and pressed the button named Edit. Then I see Anonymous access is marked and that account for anonymous access is IUSR_MALIN (my computer name is Malin).
So,, why doesn't it work?
I have an exe in the dir also, http://duden.mine.nu/vncviewer.exe which I can download without any login.

Ok, I wasn't able to get the screenshot either, but recently installed few drives on my Win2k machine and have a fair idea of the steps.
Go to Start and Run --> compmgmt.msc and OK.
Go to Disk Management -> Right click on the SHADED area and go to Create Partiton.
Then you should see the drive on the Explorer, just format it and that should do.

Venet.

Aargh!!
I hadn't wrote a signature, that's why I couldn't create a partition!
I've got it to work now!

Has anyone figured out a way to run a rule right after a send/recieve has executed? I am trying to sort mail but I have to run the rule everytime I send/recieve.

G'Day Roger, I hope the fishing went well today. Yes I know you don't actually wake up for another 50 minutes or so, stop being so pedantic.
I have a hardware question for you which I hope you can help me on.
I got my hands (legally) on a second hand machine for my wife. AOpen case, GA-6VTE+ motherboard, Pentium III 733MHz CPU, 256MB Kingmax PC133 SDRAM, 10GB HDD (got another identical one in the cupboard), 32MB AGP card, internal modem, NIC, SCSI, CD-RW. All for $200.00, problem is the power switch is missing.
I believe these are mometary switches, and plan to buy or make one instead of buying a new case as I'm doing this on the cheap. I have searched around and found this[^]. I am hoping I can use it to make the switch I need. I plan to rip out a front panel wire from one of the useless shells at work, one with a two pin plastic connector at the end. Then just solder the wires to the two probes on the back of the switch.
What in my amazing plan have I missed?
Why will it blow up in my face?
What would you do if faced with this catostrophic problem?

I don't see any problem with this at all, Michael. I assume that this is a ATX case and MB, so you don't have to be concerned about large currents, and the 3A rating is much more than adequate. Using an SPST switch, polarity is not a problem, either, so there's very little that can go wrong. I don't see any mention of it, but I assume that the switch you selected is a normally open type - there isn't much call for a normally closed momentary action switch. Have fun!

It is.

Wouldn't have a clue, I picked what looked like the smallest plainest switch that should fit behind the front panel of the case. I decided I didn't need any LED's or fancy crap like that. I will ask the bloke down the store what type it is before I buy it.

Just got off the phone to one of the sales people in Jaycar and they recommended this[^]. Does this seem right to you? It doesn't seem to be a momentary switch and I'm having troubles getting past the price. $11.25 for the switch versus $37.50 for a whole new case.
Just need to have a talk to the wife. I've already used up my dollars till paydfay next week. Will have to see if she will part with the dollars since the computer is for her anyway.

That does seem extreme. I'd try your first option' if it doesn't work then you can spend the money on a more costly type.

I ended up just buying the new case. $37.20 for a 320W P4 case with 2 x USB ports at the front was alright by me. Even if the motherboard doesn't support the ports at the front. The existing case didn't have the cover, I thought I had just forgotten to pick it up but he didn't have it. So I will have to save my soldering efforts till next time.

Most MBs now have 4 USB ports - two implemented as jacks on the back of the case, and two available via headers on the board. These are connected to your front panel connectors with a cheap cable, if the MB has these extra ports. Sounds like a very economical solution, grabbing a new case instead of mucking about with dangerous power tools.

Unfortunately the motherboard doesn't have the required pins for the front of the case. Something I'm sure she'll be able to live without as the crappy old laptop we're replacing only had one anyway.

It may be safer but not as much fun.

The bloke owed me a big favour and gave it to me for half of what he wanted. To make you feel worse prices here in Australia on aveage seem to be 50 - 100% more than in the US.

If I had a dollar for everybody who said I owe you one and never compensated me back in anyway I would have a dual Xeon HT.

Maybe its because everything is upside down, so instead of something being six dollars its nine

Brilliantly put. Though I reckon it's just you Yanks subsidising the running costs of your country by rorting us wannabe 3rd world countries.
