Windows XP to 98

SnakeEyez122
OK. . . I have Windows XP. . . . and I HATE IT. The incompatibility is just overwhelming. I need to get my new computer from XP to 98se. How do I go about doing that? I mean i can format it, but do i lose drivers for all of my crap? It didnt come with a CD.

Pioneer DVD-144, wrong Firmware...

iks
Hello there. . . My lousy neighbour has flashed the Pioneer DVD-144 with wrong Regionfree Firmware: DVD-104F. . . Now of course his DVD won't work. I also can't simply flash it with appropriate firmware, flashing just kicks me out in the middle of the process and the old wrong firmware is still there.

Partition Magic 7 and Linux Ext3 filesystems

Palos
Ok, it happened to me twice, had to reinstall Mandrake 8. 2 twice. . . I resized some Windows partition with PM7, formatted it in Ext3 from the Mandrake setup, all went ok. Problems arise when you reboot in Windows and try to run PM7 again, it will report LBA errors.

Secure internet tunnelling?

GTwannabe
The school network that I use has banned Napster and Napster-like programs. Networking monitors the ports that those programs use. Basically, no download utility programs for me or I'll get kicked off the network.

Seeking "Virtual" Dial up over Cable solution...

ancker
At work we are behind Corporate firewalls and proxies. So all machines, including our servers are part of a larger WAN. Which are not accessible from the outside internet. We do have a Dial-up system so various users are allowed to dial in directly to the network.
