Just checked it out. Didn't realize you could do this. Totally just made my life easier. On Windows 7 right click the drive and say Share With -> Advanced Sharing. Once the window opens click Advanced Sharing... then check the box and give it the correct settings. Sorry for providing...

I'm pretty sure you can't make a removable disc (like a cd/dvd drive) a shared folder.

Name/verson? We can't help unless we know exactly what it is. And since it's an application in itself there may not be a way to check.

I don't believe they were asking how to network... they want to know if it's possible to use the CD/DVD drive on one computer through the network on the other. Is this correct OP?

It's fairly new. Just for some speed comparisons: USB 1.0 is 12 Mbit/s, USB 2.0 480 Mbit/s, USB 3.0 is 4.8Gbit/s. SATA (1st gen) is 1.5Gbit/s, SATA (2nd gen) is 3Gbit/s, SATA (3rd gen) is 6Gbit/s Note that they will probably never have that kind of throughput, but that's the max ratings...

Laptops do still come with drives, although some don't (like netbooks). I would recommend getting an external cd/dvd drive just to make life a little easier. If you wanted though, you could make a disc image on the computer with a drive and then transfer it to the laptop and mount it as a...

Have you tried renaming the malwarebytes' exe? Both the installer and the installed exe. It definitely does sound like a virus.

I just don't want people who are already paranoid about it to be... paranoid about it lol.

If only it were as easy as you make it sound. Just having someones IP is a starting point. The very most basic thing. It's going to vary on the network's setup. Do they have a router? What operating systems are on the machines? Are they all up to date? What ports are open and what known...

EDIT: Found it, ignore me

What he said. You can also install the ubuntu desktop on the server, although there's no reason to.

Unless you have some sort of virus or software that allows other people to access your computer, they should have no way of knowing what's on your hard drive (except what they see transferred from the internet). Also, generally anything related to important info (like financial stuff) is going...

Name calling is pointless. Anyway, it may just be an old computer and nobody remembers any of the login information. There's several types of bootable recovery CDs that will allow you to change/remove any/all windows user passwords on the machine. Unless you're talking about a specific...

What kind of IP settings are you getting? It might need static IP settings if there isn't a DHCP server anywhere.

Sounds like you have a pretty serious hardware issue since it won't even post. Have you tried calling the manufacturer to see if it's still under warranty?

Netbooks are the minilaptops, tablets are the ones that you can flip the monitor around and usually have touch screens (correct me if I'm wrong). 1. Virus protection depends on the operating system and whatever preinstalled crap is on there. If it comes with linux you don't have to worry...

Try removing the battery and plugging it into the wall and then try turning it on. I've seen dead batteries keep the laptop from turning on even if it's plugged in.

Did you make sure the drive was formatted to be bootable? And did you check the boot order on the two computers? Also check this guide: http://www.pctipsbox.com/installing-windows-xp-using-a-usb-flash-drive/ Good luck

I stopped about a year or so ago, but this reminded me and I'm actually starting back up again lol.

Wow, that's intense. I thought hard drives could only have four primary partitions (with unlimited secondary). Multiple hard drives? Or are you counting Virtual Machines. Either way, flabbergasted.
