"reinstalled XP w/new hardware but..."


          

1st thanks for the help yesterday to whom ever read my post about moving my HD from my PIII machine to my new Athlon XP system. I did have to reformat my drive and I decide it would be better anyhow to do a fresh install. But now....a few more questions..

1 - I seem to be freezing up....Maybe I have to update the video and monitor drivers. I did that this morning so when I go home I will see if my screen saver stuck. It wouldnt even let me CTR/ALT/DEL! It crashed on other time but I think maybe because I havent installed the tv tuner card drivers...any thoughts...or similar problems?

2 - I use to be able to resize images right wihtin the XP file folder. It would recreate the image and call it small or whatever size I made it. It was really convient for when I wanted to make an image smaller and email it but now...I dont seem to have that option....anyone on that??

3 - The drive I used to back up my data is a drive I want to now use as backup. I want to reformat it but is it safe to do that in wondows? Is the windows reformat different than the fdisk type? I used NTFS for my original drive....should I do the same or go fat32.

4 - why is my 2nd hard drive called F: and listed after my CD drives? Can I rename it...is this possible beucase that was the name prior?

If you can help at all...thank you..I know its alot of questions!

Thanks...

Sandor

Why are you running a screen saver?
