My Western Digital EIDE 160gb drive now apears in XP as 128GB, not the usual 149gb it usually was. Its a secondary drive, used for storage only. Its not bootable.

I had Norton GoBack installed and then removed it. I have a gut feeling that GoBack has altered my drive somehow.

I've tried fdisk, but it says that there are no more partitions on it.

I've also tried partition Magic, same thing: 128mb


Any ideas ...

I have been having problems with my monitor and after checking it out on another pc, it has been said that I should consider changing my video card.
I have a shuttle Mother Board, Via KT266/a chipset
AMD athlon 1474, 512 DDR ram

I don´t play games, its more an office machine and the old card always did what I needed.

Any suggestion would be appreciated for a replacement AGP card

Thanks

I just got a new HP Deskjet 6940 and I've been printing a lot of CD inserts and trays. In comparing them to ones printed on my old Deskjet 960, the pictures are much better and the colors are much richer, but the text is noticeably less sharp and defined. Is this a problem with a lot of the new HPs?

I just hooked up my new HP printer today and it works great but the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon appeared in the taskbar and it will not go away. I thought this only shows up for "hot swap" devices like cameras. My old printer never made this icon appear - why is it showing up now? It's not a big deal but I like to keep my desktop clean and since I'm not intending to ...
