Hi Mark I am interested in installing a 40 gig HD on a PC that was originally equipped with only a 2 1/2 gig HD. The drive that I bought is a Western Digital. I made an attempt last week to do this and failed. I installed the drive in the bay and just unplugged from the old drive and left it in place and then attached the power ect to the new drive. The drive came with a floppy which loaded some dos. I then attempted to load Windows 98 2nd edition. I got a windows error message su0013 1/2 way thru the installation which I have no idea what it means. On the second attempt it looked like the disk was formated again so maybe I lost the partition. DOS is not one of my strong points.<g> Second installation failed after windows loaded. Attempt 3 appeared as if it fully loaded but when I rebooted it stays in DOS, it loads windows if you strike a key but just gives error messages when you click on anything. Im wondering if you have a link to a web resource for basic disk format and then instructions on how to load an OS step by step. The mother board was made in 1998 and should support the large drive. Many thanks in advance, Reid@InWayOverMyHead.com :-)

Favorites Converter 1. The purpose of the program. Favorites Converter is a win32 console-based application to convert the contents of the favorites folder into the html page. It may be useful for later reference to hard procured urls, uploading the favorites to your web site, etc. 2. No installation is required. Just run fav2page and the program will create web page my_favorites_page.htm, which will contain all your favorites. 3. Freeware, distribute freely. Feel free to send your comments or questions to vbary@hotmail.com. Mark Above is the read file on the conversion tool.Also the link to it is below, scroll down a little and you'll find this zip file namedfav2page.zip.I made 2 web pages with this and then made icon shortcuts and placed them on the links bar. I use Word to edit the web pages and can display 48 linked favs on each page without scrolling when you initially open the page.More of course will display as you scroll.There are no folders to open using this method and you can make as many web pages as you desire. I used a # 10 size font for display.Once you start on it you'll see it's really quite simple to use. Ed simtel.net Ed
