[CGUYS] 1024 cylinder threshhold
Greetings - My holiday project is to do some upgrading of my personal confuser (P4, 2.8 mHz, 2 GB RAM). I have an 80 GB HD with Win XP SP2 that I only occasionally open and use and a second 80 GB hard drive with Linux. I partitioned the Windows installation with Partition Magic 8 to have C: operating system (8GB); D: FAT16 (500 MB at the beginning of the second HD); E: a FAT32 sharing partiion; F: NTFS Apps: and G: NTFS Data. I need to increase the size of the C: partition and have plenty of room to do so. However, PM8 gives me the follwing message: Resizing or moving an operating system beyond the 1024 cylinder boundary may make the computer unbootable. Due to INT13 BIOS limitations on some machines, your rescue diskettes may not be able to recover from this situation ... I seem to recall that this applies only to DOS operating systems and early Windows NT but I spend so little time in a Windows environment that I 'm not sure that I'm remembering accurately. I think that I can safely increase the size of my C: partition (I'll back up my data, of course). Am I right? TIA Kelly J.

Re: [CGUYS] YahooGroups Problem - Please Help
Alvin - I run two lists on YahooGroups, one with about 700 subscribers. What has worked for me is to NOT moderate subscriptions but instead to moderate posts from all new members (I think that this lasts 6 months). When spammers and/or others who are inappropriate to the group post their first messages, I reject their message, unsusbscribe them, and then ban them. Not exactly the highest-tech solution but it works for me and it might for you. Presumably, if someone outside your neighborhood subscribes, it's not with the intention of lurking but rather of selling something, etc. and they will probably show themselves right away. Good luck.
