Re: How do you disable Group Policy

2009-12-19T15:12:32Z

Hey man.
Long story short, out of desperation with this same problem, I found
another forum entry where someone discovered the registry key that let
him turn his firewall on and off, while the group policy 'greying-out'
remained in effect. I figured if you deleted that registry key, control
should return to the user....

unfortunately, I am not familiar
with your methodology for booting.
personally, I never heard of ftdisk.sys
being a bootable o.s.
however those lines you provided pertain
to booting and can be edited via
the boot.ini file.

How do I add RAID drivers to an existing XP system?

2009-12-19T13:57:04Z

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 on a system using an Intel D945GNT
motherboard. This motherboard has a chipset and BIOS which support RAID
1. I recently replaced my hard drives with a much larger pair of drives
and would like to setup a RAID 1 array. All the partitions from my old
drives have been transferred to one of the new drives, and the second

Your boot time is slow because you are telling it to wait 30 seconds
for you to decide to boot XP or RC.
timeout=30 <--seconds
If you don't chose, it will take the default which in your case is XP.
I have mine set to 3 and I like it like that.
The RC and Safe Mode are not the same thing. Is that your problem -

More detail:
- Disconnect the computer from *any* way of connecting to the Internet,
physically. Leave it that way for the duration.
- Clean install of Windows XP (assuming with no service packs given what you
have.)
- Update all hardware device drivers (software) to the latest versions
available from the hardware manufacturer(s). Especially pay attention to

Sp1 is needed to install it (but not sp2)

Reinstalled Win XP SP2 and ONLY boots to SAFE MODE

I started with a perfectly good computer that had five years of garbage
which slowed it down so I scheduled some time for a reformat and
reinstall of software. Gateway 2.4 Pentium with 1 gig of RAM. Was
running WinXP with all service packs and Explorer 8.
Reformated and reloaded WinXP from the original OEM disk. ALL GREAT!
