ANybody know any good HD benchmark software?

BladeRunner

As the title says, anybody know of any good benchmarking software for HD's under Win2k. For some unknown reason Sandra just hangs as soon as I run it, well I get the splash screen for Sandra 2001 SE and that's it, doesn't go any further, forces me to do a hard re-boot of my system.

NT, 2000, 2000Pro, Whistler! What's what?

SnapperOne

Starting to get a bit confused by the new OSs. While I understand that NT 4. X preceded 5. 0 (whoops Win2000) and that 2000 has some variants itself (ie. . . PRO, etc. ), where does Whistler come in? Is it simply another name for 2000, or an entirely different package?.

NT with Logitech cam and USB

I was told there was a way to make my Logitech web cam work with NT. It has a USB connector which obviously doesn't work with NT but I was told there was a patch or something that would make it work.
