I second this. Quick Tech is the program that I recommend. It is
available from http://www.uxd.com as was mentioned below. It is
amazing. Well worth the money. Worth its weight in gold actually.
Although I do disagree with always keeping BIOS defaults. Definately
keep them for ram timings a
cool. I'll check it out. Quick Tech Pro is made by the same people.
I like it because it can test more then just memory. Besides, I've seen
it identify single bad sectors. Pretty impressive and saves a lot fo
time/money in a production environment.

You can only set one user as owner of a file/directory

If you've installed boot magic and are booting the ntloader from it, it
will be a piece of cake. Don't use DiskDrak to format your partitions
though, use the existing formatted partitions you made with partition
magic and just assign them / and /home and /swap, etc. and don't put
lilo in the mbr.

To do this, the GPS talks to the computer through one serial port for
