Yeah no doubt, the pc is 4 years old I think. I meant the driver for my wireless usb thing, I'll give it a go and see

Hi ussnorway, thanks for replying. Mine's a P5N-E SLI motherboard. When I was running xp on this harddrive, I'd installed the actual driver for the wireless adapter and therefore had a system tray icon that I could right click to disable (although can't remember if I could re-enable it mid...

Hey all, hope everyone's good. For my studio pc (not laptop) I'd like to be able to disable my wireless network (either full capability or just disable my usb adapter). Basically it interferes with my audio output and causes pops and clicks when writing music so I'd like to be able to disable...

Hey saltgrass (and everyone, Well just as an update and hopefully the epilogue in my annoying story, I've got this windows boot sorted :) A quick and simple solution was to copy and paste the ntldr and ntdetect.com files to every partition's root folder and bingo :) Thanks for all you help...

OK cool, I don't want to buy easybcd as I've just spent a fortune on upgrading software and hardware in my studio. How do I go about using bcdedit to add the legacy loader please? Currently I'm trying to use my xp 64 bit cd to access the recovery console so I can try a few things but it...

OK, update, now bcd is first so I can boot either of the win 8.1 parts but can't now chose the xp ones. Paul

Hey both of you, thanks for the replies. The last thing I want to do is format my harddrives as I've spent so much time getting all the studio software sorted. All I want to do is get it to show exactly as it did before I messed it all up haha, which was a blue boot screen with the 2 win 8.1...

Hi, Firstly, I'm new to the forums so wanted to say hey to everyone. My main issue is in a multi-boot scenario (2 harddrives, both with an xp and win 8.1 partition), boot.ini comes before BCD so I can never boot the windows 8.1 drives. Quick back story: Originally had 2 harddrives, both xp...
