StuartR,

Thanks, man.

(I only have ACPI Fixed Feature Button & ACPI Power Button. That’s not a problem, is it ?)
I also noticed (in Device Manager), under *Computer* I have ACPI Uniproccesor PC.

Thanks,

HansV,

Thanks all,

I guess I should have realized there was not much difference, if any . . . but was half-way hoping it might be a factor in causing my problem (DA multitracking app & OS crashes.)

I was intending on replacing my primary drive; & loading a boxed version of XP, but I guess I’ll only go this route now if I can’t get System Restore to work any other way (not so sure I like the Microsoft Registry fix.)

Thanks again,

Bob,

Don’t quite know what it is, but apparently I’m not thinking too well this weekend.

I went back & grabbed the JV-1010’s CD-ROM; & thought I’d try installing the most recent available MIDI driver (which was an NT version.) I then went to Sounds & Audio Devices Properties; & found the option “Serial MIDI Out A Port” (I now had 2 devices available . . . that one; & the LynxTWO.) I Assigned the Serial Port driver as my default MIDI device . . . opened SONAR; & there it was . . . recognized by every MIDI track. Everything now appears to be working just fine.

Live & learn.

Thanks for the response,

jscher!

That worked! Thanks very much.

Also: The entire MSDN white paper seems very valuable.

Thanks again,

SMBP,

Thanks to you, as well. I’ll do it. Great links.

(man…you loungers take good care of me.)

WyllyWylly,

Man…you’re all right…despite not being photogenic! (that’s not really you, right?)

Anyway, as you stated, our rigs are similar; & I’ll probably leave it alone for now, while keeping an eye on performance (guess I better not execute the XP tweak which disables prefetch, eh?)

If I experience bottlenecks later, I’ll go with a partition program.

Thanks man…you’ve been a great help to me, dating back a couple of years, now.)

I will have that CD finished soon, tho.

Later,

mark4man

cowboydawg,

Thanks.

What I’m asking about…can this be accomplished after the fact?

In other words…My primary drive already has the OS, some apps; & some files/folders on it.

If I partition now, do I loose everything…through reformatting?

If I do, I’ll leave it…& use a partition program in the future (if necessary.)

So then, my question still remains…how does XP allocate the various apps, drivers & files as they are loaded in?

Is it in a logical manner, conductive to optimum data retrieval? And also: how is this accomplished relative to mutiple platters (or does that even matter?)

Thanks,
