Solaris 10 with Windows 2000 HELP!

Hi,
I'm having a terrible time with Solaris 10 installation and configuration.
I installed W2k on a NTFS partition. I shrinked the partiton with Partition Magic so I have enough place for Solaris.
I installed Solaris using the rest of the disk space and completed sucessfully.
The system then asked me where I want to boot and I said W2K. Once I went to W2K I found that my DVD-Rom wasn't recognized. Also, I couldn't run Partition Magic as it was giving me a message about partition table is corupt.
Then on the next boot I could not for the life of me get into Solaris. There was no choice anymore.
Can someone please help me with this issue? I'm trying like crazy for weeks now and all I need is some kind of step-by-step help if possible.
Thanks in advance,
Chaim Bochner

Resizing a Windows partition assumes that this partition has to be defragmented before. Furhter in nearly every cases I know Windows has always to be installed at first operating system. It is a good advice when the amount of primary partitons on one HD are not more then four at all, specially when Windows is on it. This number is quickly reached because Solaris needs as I know three primary partitions for itselfs. Installing further operating systems after Windows, Windows losts its attribut as master partition. That means Windows might be not recognized any more. The problems increase by resizing partitions. Unfortunately Soraris does not support realy the usage with several operating systems on one HD and its tools on board are very purely.
There are two strategies to solve the problem: First I would delete Solaris from the HD so Windows is the first Operatin System and starts well, again. Then size the Windows partion after defragmenting as you want. Afterwards make a boot disk from Windows. Then I would install Solaris, but the Grub Loader I would install on a floppy disk and not on the HD to avoid Solaris from writing in the master boot record. Finally you need a boot loader that starts from a floppy disk. Such boot loaders can be found at Internet or from Linux.
My second strategy is, depends on the size of the HD, to install a very small Linux patition at the last operating system. The Linux boot loader LILO can manage several operating systems on the one HD very well.
My advice to Sun: Look what competitors operating systems can do nowadays and learn now. Talk to your customers what they need. Don�t wait for the next 30 years.
I wish much success.
Kind regards from Berlin, Germany

Msi GeForce 4 4200 frame rate locked at 60 with Windows 2000

Lost here..... I have an MSI Geforce 4 4200 120MB Video Card slotted on an Asus A7V motherboard - AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz processor with 640mb of ram.
There is a common problem with the Nvidia chip and Windows 2000 in regards to a lock frame rate at 60fps within games.
I've tried several programs to fix this i.e. "Refresh Lock", "Windows 2000/XP Nvidia Refresh rate lock", "PowerStrip 3.15" and "NVFresh Tool 1.0"
But nothing seems to work. I'm sure these program work with older Nvidia cards but not with GeForce 4.
Any Ideas? I even turned the Vsync off and on.
HELP!

(A little advice: If you can, dump XP and install a copy of Windows 2000 second edition. They both have the same KERNAL but I find that Win 2000 is much more compatible for now. I give XP 2 more years before it's the OS for all. I've reinstalled 6 systems with Windows 2000 because of compatibility problems.)

Install oracle 8.0.6 with Windows 2000

hello all,
today we have oracle 8.0.6 on NT Server ...
we need install the same release oracle 8.0.6 on new IBM server, with Windows 2000 Server ...
we are looking information about differences between config oracle 8.0.6 in NT Server and Windows 2000 Server
thanks in advance
rodolfo

My tnsnames.ora file is using SID and not SERVICE NAME.
The configuration is the same as the other NT server I am using, this is actually a new server we are trying to replace the production with. The only difference is the OS so far. I looked at all the configuration files and the only error I get is that TNS 12203 error when I try to connect to Oracle.
When I try from any client it does the same thing, TNS 12203 and no connection to database.
Could it be the OS, or does anyone know anyone that has Oracle 8.0.6 on a 2003 Server Box.
Thanks for your help guys.

Default Strata navigation buttons used to have colors besides blue with Windows 2000.

I recently moved from Windows 2000 to Windows 7 and noticed that the default Strata navigation buttons are now all blue. For example, with Windows 2000 the stop "X" was red and the "Forward" and "Back" arrow buttons were green. No biggie, but is there any way to get these colors with the default navigation buttons in Windows 7?
Thanks!

Hello and thank you for the reply!
While I am waiting for the issue to start up again, I'd just like to cover some things you mentioned in your post. :)
I only updated the bios because I was originally experiencing these issues. It was a method to hopefully resolve them, which did not work. I was very careful, and the process was a success. I updated to the most recent recommended driver for my motherboard
from the manufacturers.
As for Auslogics Boost Speed, it is not running on my computer, as it is a piece of software I only have used to clean junk files (cache/temp) for a very long time now with no issue. I have also tried updating all of my drivers with success, however that
did not solve the issue either. I even rolled back my network card driver just in case with no luck.
I have not thought of disabling my audio driver yet, being how it effects far more than just my audio when it happens. My mouse is jittery/laggy as well when no sound is playing. But other tests have shown that it may be a network issue. Next time it happens
I'll temporary disable my network drivers to see if that causes the issue to clear up.
I will be sure to mark answers which help appropriately. Thanks again! I should return with the information requested from Zigzag's wiki within 2 days of on-time, when this happens again.

To Instal XP follow these steps.
Insert XP OS CD
Restat the System

Finally select E:/ to install XP.

Labview 2009 .exe not working with windows 2000

I created a simple vi with Labview 2009 to reset a counter in registry key. I changed it to an exe. The program runs fine on any machine with XP but it does not work on the machine I need it on which is running Windows 2000 SP4. I installed the 2009 runtime but I continue to get an error when it starts up saying the vi is not executable and that I need the full development to fix the errors. But like I said it works every where else. I've tried other exe wrote in LV2009 on this machine and they work. Is there something in my vi that is not compatible with Windows 2000?
Thanks
Solved!

Working with Windows 2000 ?

Hello, I'm new to Java but been programming 15 years, hell knows why I waited till now to use Java but it is great !
I want to write some applications that control and work with Windows 2000. I realise they would not be platform independent but is this sort of thing possible ?
or .... just as an example what if I wanted to control some feature of the linux os ?
thanks
C

It is possible. All you need to know is how to use JNI. I think there are only two books out there about JNI, I would recommend the one from Sun.
You can download it here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/index.html

AT-AO-10 doesn´t work with Windows 2000

I have an AT-AO-10 board that doesn’t work with Windows 2000. I have reserved two IRQs for legacy devices (non plug and play) in BIOS. The AT-AO-10 has got assigned these IRQs, a DMA and a base address that are free, and there aren’t any hardware conflicts, but the board doesn't pass the MAX's text.
In Windows 'Information System', the board is shown in 'Forced hardware', but I don’t know that is a problem.
If the board is unplugged, error messages are the same.

Hello;
You didn't mention what version of the NI-DAQ driver you are using over there. Anyway, my suggestion to you is to uninstall the NI-DAQ driver you have installed, remove the board, reboot the machine, download and install the latest NI-DAQ version (6.9.3) from NI web site.
Try the installation with the new driver, and if that is still not working, the best bet is to try the same installation on a different machine to double check if the hardware is not defective.

Is the problem limited to a specific file that you're exporting?

Is the JDK (1.2.2) compatible with Windows 2000 Pro?

Hi Friends!,
It seems that the JDK - Version: 1.2.2 - is not
compatible with Windows 2000 Pro. I know
how to configure the kit in this operating system
even if I'am not able to understand the reason for which
I receive the error in the Command Prompt window - the JAVAC
utility says:
"Can't read: BigDebt.java - 1 error".
I have added the following command line from
the System Control Panel->System->Environment->System Variables:
C:\jdk1.2.2\bin ( where I have installed the kit ).
I also have added the CLASSPATH command line there:
set CLASSPATH=.;C:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar but the problem persists
and I'am unable to create the BigDebt.class file.
To avoid another nervous wreck please send me the instructions
to configure correctly the JDK (1.2.2) for Windows 2000 Pro.
Thanks.
Julian Jerman - from Italy.

when you runs the java compiler like this
javac BigDebt.java
You need to be in the directory of your BigDebt.java file located.
BTW, it is kind of weird that your java file is saved to System32 directory, there is no benefit doing that.

Where could I get iTunes 7.32 or any version compatible with Windows 2000?

I recently rolled back to Windows 2000 from XP because I made some mistake and couldn't connect to the internet (I only did so after trying everything, but that's all unneeded information). After looking all over the Apple website, I could not find any version that is compatible with Windows 2000. Does anyone know where I could find one?

Never mind, found an installer in one of my back-ups from years ago.

Hello!
how do i connect to solaris Os through Windows 2000
thanks.

how do i connect to solaris Os through Windows 2000TELNET, FTP, and many other Internet Standard mechanisms should work "out of the box". Lots of other ways can be enabled either by configuration changes or installing additional software. If you explain what you want to do, and what you mean by "connect to", someone will be able to give you a more precise answer.
