I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Jon, What file system do you have on the drive?

NTFS, I think.

Have you any Norton/Symantec product you can use as an upgrade basis to get Systemworks?

I have Ghost.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Have you any Norton/Symantec product you can use as an upgrade basis to get Systemworks?

I have Ghost.

With Ghost, you can get Systemworks 2006 for $50, or Systemworks Premiere 2006 (With the latest Ghost) for $80. I recommend the CD rather than downloading Systemworks.

Or you could borrow a copy from someone to try it.

I wonder if the old fdisk /mbr works on NTFS? Anyone? Bueller?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Did your issue clear up, LeN? I have no help to offer, sadly.

Thanks for asking. It did, actually. I ended up redoing the Windows default programs and I think that cleared everything up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm an idiot -- I was pressing the wrong two buttons to reset. (It's Menu/Select, not Menu/Play.) D'oh! Correctly reseting seems to have done the trick.

Still, the battery is now telling me it's completely drained, which is absurd since I'd only used it for about 45 minutes since its last full recharge. I have a feeling it may need replacing.

I need some itunes/ipod assistance, please. This has to do with synching.

Since I've had my ipod, I have not synch it with my computer. I've been manually putting music on my ipod. This worked well enough (especially when my main computer was that shitty Microsoft ME), but now I'd like to synch.

My computer's library is probably outdated from my ipod's. What should I do in terms of making sure the ipod and the computer have the same music?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

LeN, when I made that decision I backed up the music directory for iTunes, then deleted it all from inside the app. I'm assuming your iPod can be used as a HD, right? Then I copied over all the music files from the iPod, and imported them into iTunes.

Then I set the iPod to synch automatically. Worked like a charm.

MG, have you checked Craigslist? [link]

Lots of people are giving away monitors after christmas around here, maybe there, too.
