XP and PhotoSmart P1xxx series printers

rbduck
I've already done it, but it might help if anyone that has xp and a PhotoSmart P1xxx series printer, send HP some email asking for the drivers. They might speed up the process a bit and release drivers sooner than 1 month after Official AP Release.

TFT Panels - Opinions please!

BladeRunner
I've posted this thread onto a couple of other forums I frequent, but I thought I'd get you guys to give some opinions. I'm taking a close look at TFT panels. A 17. 4 - 18 would set me back £1000. Fair enough, if I bought one of these babies I'd be using it for 5 years+.

You should see what i did. :)

HELLBRINGER
Well I don't have a picture yet. But I will soon hopefully for you guys. I took this old funle type thing from a old Sony VAIO PCV-150 computer. That took the air from the powersupply right above the heatsink and narrowed and focused the air onto the heatsink for cooling.

ATA100 HD. But runs like ATA... well 40!

HELLBRINGER
Ahhh crap! This is really pissing me off! Me and my friend both have Epox EP-8KTA3 motherboards. We both have Western Digital ATA100 7200RPM 40GB hard drives as well. I have a Duron 800 @ 1000 and he has a Duron 850 not over clocked cause I need to fix the pencil marks (lol! sorry couldn’t resist).

Good SCSI info

Brian Frank
I'd kinda like to educate myself on SCSI, but I haven't found anything that explains the different flavors in exhasutive detail. Anybody know of something real detailed in all the hardware involved and stuff.

Reinstall IE6? How?

DefBringer
I think my IE6 is corrupt. . . . somehow it won't let me download from any FTP servers. I think CuteFTP incorrectly tried to mesh with it and fouled it up. Is there a quick and easy way to get a fresh install of IE6 without reinstalling XP?.

NTFS questions

FOB2k
I've been using Windows 2000 and XP w/ FAT32 partition and I heard that NTFS is a much better file system for NT kernel. I know that if I use a Win98 boot disc to boot the machine, it will not see the NTFS partition, AND the next FAT32 partition will replace the NTFS drive letter.
