Unattended.doc for Windows XP

miku
Hi Guys, I have not yet noticed an Unattended. doc file for Windows XP. If anyone of you have, please let me know. Cause it is very helpful for a custom install. You can select what components you want to install and leave the rest out.

Diskeeper at boot-time

TBone
I'm just curious, has anyone tried boot-time defragmenting with Diskeeper 6(SE)? I tried it once, and shortly thereafter I had all kinds of horrible drive errors. My system seems to have recovered, but I'll not be so quick to try it again.

x-setup ata66 seting???

rgodart
I noticed there is a setting in x-setup to enable ata66 in win2k because it is not enabled as default. Does this do anything?? I use a highpoint 366 ata 66 controller with a maxtor ata100 drive. How about ata100 drivers?? Is ata100 not enabled either when using a ata100 controller, or does sp2 fix al that?.

Why doesnt outlook.exe go away?

Pythagoras
So whenever I exit Outlook it sometimes isnt killed, and sits in the task manager soaking up a nice fat 10 megs of ram until I kill it. This screws up other things in my system like my modem ussually wont dial and outlook simply wont load.
