I went ahead and tried to reclaim the unallocated space using gparted. Bad idea :( I couldn't boot into Windows afterwards and repairing using the windows disk didn't seem to work. Ended up reinstalling windows, this time with the system reserved partition created properly.

Disk 0 is the SSD and Disk 1 is the HDD. Since installing windows onto the SSD I have deleted the old system partition that was on the HDD and expanded the data partition to reclaim the space using gparted. Before trying that on the SSD I wanted to check there would be no issues due to it...

I added an SSD to my PC yesterday and have managed to get windows installed on it. As I didn't remove my old HDD with windows on it before there was a little messing around to get windows installed on the SSD and I've somehow managed to end up with the 100Mb of unallocated space that would be...

Did a big more googling and found out about the robocopy utility. The following using that seems to work ROBOCOPY "$(ProjectDir)usercontrols" "..\..\..\Website\usercontrols" *.ascx /copy:TD /s /xx /njh /np

At the moment I am using an xcopy command to copy all files with a certain extension to another folder. As the number of files in this folder increases I'd like to organise them into sub folders and have the directory structure mirrored. However I don't want the entire folder contents copied...

With IIS on Windows XP I could send emails from PHP using my local smtp server. However I cannot seem to find where the smtp server is in Windows 7. I read somewhere that Vista doesn't come with the smtp server, is this the case for Windows 7 and if so can anyone recomend an alternative.

I tried using Kaspersky but found I couldn't use my PC for 5 minutes without Kaspersky dieing and taking the OS with it.

I ran Comodo Firewall on the Win 7 beta with no problems however it doesn't seem to work on the RC. It seems to install correctly however it doesn't run on startup and after running manually the firewall doesn't work. I tried running diagnostics as suggested and problems are found (it doesn't...

FalconFour are you running Kaspersky AV by any chance. When I was running it I found it kept dieing and taking the OS with it despite working perfectly well in the beta. If you are it may be worth checking to make sure that isn't causing the issue.

Downloading now before all the Americans steal the bandwidth :p Thanks.

Thought I'd add the games I've managed to get to work Empire: Total War Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 Command and Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising Company of Heroes + Opposing Fronts World in Conflict + Soviet Assault

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, that worked.

With my old Windows XP PCs I used to access the files using the hidden network shares (i.e. c$). I am trying to do the same with the Windows 7 computers but am getting asked for a login. I have set password protected sharing to off but am still getting asked for a login. I tried the login I...

Have you made sure IIS for Windows isn't running. I had the problem with Windows XP that wampserver wouldn't start the services if IIS was running. It doesn't seem to effect Windows 7 though so I assume IIS is not automatically started.

I tried installing the Windows XP HP drivers in compatibility mode and it seems to have worked. Thanks.
