I have been asked to find out if it is possible to get the identity of a specific computer used to burn a CD. A school has discovered that some one photographed exam papers with the correct answers then burnt the jpgs onto a CD.

There is nothing on the files/jpgs themselves. The cd was burnt on a MAC so there is a DS_STORE file on it but my PC can't read it. From what I could find online, there isn't much in it anyway, except the ordering of icons and basic property information.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could find the relevant information, if it exists?

My Windows Xp Pro based system, SP-2, suddenly quit recognizing my USB external hard drive (Seagate) and my 12 in 1 card reader (SanDisk) My Palm Pilot and Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo were unaffected.

I can move the devices around to different USB ports but the result is still the same....the devices are not seen. I have reinstalled drivers, but no joy.

These devices work just fine on all my other workstations.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys
I`ve got that oriole problem.

I had a problem with Windows 7 unable to boot with another Ubuntu partition. I took ours to be able to back up all the files in windows using a XP live disk. After the back up i had all my files safe but the grab has been damaged and no OS wanted to load (error 17).

After few attempts, my MBR sectors has been erased including the partition table.
So now i`ve got a lonely 250 gb unallocated partition.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop (2GB RAM, 100GB HDD) with Windows XP MCE 2005 (SP2) running.
Recently I had to to do an in-place install as I was getting BSOD on trying to enter safe mode. Everything went on fine without a glitch.
But now I do see a hit on my laptop's performance. It takes longer to boot and hand over cursor control after booting.

I recently got myself a new keyboard, the fairly expensive Razer Tarantula. One of the key features of this keyboard is its so called Anti-Ghosting, which is more precisely described as 10-key rollover over USB. (k-key rollover denotes the ability of keyboards to correctly handle a situation in which k keys are pressed simultaneously, independent of the combination pressed) However, to use it, you need to know the secret code!

Hello there first things first I really appreciate this site it has helped me countless times,
Iam wondering if I can use my mybook 1tb ext drive internally i believe it is a sata drive and i currently running ide cables any idea? I would like to change due to long waits on moving large files. it takes roughly 30min to move 14gb,

Hi, to everyone i write for first time and here is my problem: Before some time my laptop went down and the company which i bought it replaced it with a new one. But i kept the hard disk i had. When i plug the hd to the new laptop ( same specifications as the previous i had ) and tried to run Windows XP BSODs appeared either in safe mode or normal mode or even previous known good configuration. I know that the partitions are still in the hard disk and hard disk works well as i connected to a pc via a usb cable and managed to see my files.

I have two computers. One is at least 6 years old adn the other is about 4. Both hard drives are two years old. I installed both in one computer. I set One as a slave and the other a master. When I turn on the computer Only one OS system shows up. Is there a way that I can choose which OS system I want to boot up. One is Windowns ME and the other is Windows 98. I use these for music and projects instead of my new computer Windows XP. Do I need to change the BIOS is some way so I can switch from one OS to other OS? Sure need your help. Thanks
