Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Go into Disk Management and remove that partition. Then create a new one in the space you
freed. Actually, make two. A small 4 gig one for swap and the rest for data and your downloasd
folders. Might as well take advantage of the opportunity.

please be specific as to what you have on your machine...you say you have a dual boot, yet don't specify if they are both active (i.e. if you have a boot loader menu upon boot up which gives you the choice of what OS to boot into)...basically, how did this second OS get there? it is possible to edit your boot.ini file and for all effective purposes kill of the other OS and then be able to manually delete the files from your HDD...it would be far safer (considering you appear to have storage issues from what you say in another thread) to install another HDD for storage, back up all important data (read any file you wish to keep) and then do a reformat and clean install of the OS you wish to use...you will also have the option of creating a dual boot system with each OS residing on its own individual HDD which has a hell of a lot of advantages....but without any more detailed information from you my hands are tied as it were as to giving you any detailed advice...

looks like you beat me to the draw with your last post, as it wasn't there when I started to type this one....

for safety reasons I still advise the addition of another HDD, and while 250GB drives are currently in use for OS drives, I recommend 160GB max because of lifespan issues...

yeah....as noted in the other thread you need another drive..that thing is puny!

you can get a 160GB Western Digital (my preferred brand) EIDE drive (which will work perfectly on your machine) for $84 at a local big name retailer or go online and get the same thing for $49 for an OEM version or $59 for the retail version (which includes cable and software...not necessarily needed assuming your current IDE ribbon is 80 wire)....

since you are complaining about disc space you NEED a larger drive, and why not 'splurge', get one, and create a dual boot system as I describe above...and yes, you can create a dual boot machine with 2 installs of the same OS using the same serial#, which in your case would obviously be XP since you are presently happy with it....if you choose this route, please advise and I will give you instructions as to how I would proceed with the project...

well....a drive is a drive pretty much..it can be transferred to a new machine...the only issue here is that obviously (to me) the only type of drive you can presently use is an EIDE type, as SATA drives (the current 'standard') were not around when your machine was built...correction...you can use a SATA drive but you would have to buy a PCI expansion card to do so, and you wouldn't be able to boot off of that drive...but even the most up to date MotherBoards (MoBo) still have at least one EIDE port, which allows for the use of 2 devices connected to it, so you would still be able to use the drive on another system if you desire to in the near future...

other than that, your only choice is to start deleting files and/or burning them to a disc first for backup...e.g. the only way to increase your ability to store data is to get rid of some of the existent stuff on your machine
