My printer shows up in Device Manager under other devices with a ? next to it even tho I installed it thru the printer icon in control panel. Could this be because I have it piggy backed to a parallel zip drive?.

How to convert from NTFS to FAT32 in Win 2000 Pro?

Xetenor

Hello, I need to know how I can convert my hard drive into a FAT32 file system from NTFS. I tried installing Partition Magic v5. 0 Pro, but it doesn't run with Windows 2000. I need some help. Are there any programs that can convert? I cannot format because I have too many important files.

ICS in W2k won't autodial when set to

woofpup

Has anyone had problems with getting Win2k Professional to autodial on demand with ICS? I set up my connection and then set it to be shared. I noticed the Dial on demand option on the sharing screen and checked that, but when clients try to access the Internet, ICS does not autodial.

How to set up dual boot?

SlaveDog

Hi All, Win2K didn't set up dual boot by default because I had Win98 on another drive I guess. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to bring a dual boot menu up and let me choose Win98 on my other drive.

install win98 as second OS?

FireStrike

Hi, is it possible to install win98 *after* I already installed win2k? I need some features of win 98 but I don't want to give up win2k of course. Could I just throw in the win98 cd and install, or would it be impossible to boot back to win2k after that?.
