I am using a build floppy created with build manager.

Hi all, I have searched the BIOS to death and have found nothing regarding SATA settings with the exception of disabling them. This is really starting to annoy me as I cannot find a resolution. The LEA are less than helpful and we do not have a contract with RM (They just refer me to the LEA.) It has got to be something small, but I feel so stupid for not being able to find it!!

Thanks guys. This is my first CC3 build so I don't know how the other were done or went. I will have another look in the bios. I had a feeling it has something to do with the SATA drive.

This happens on the three machines I have tried. It was the guy from my LEA said it was failing after the HDD prep, but I'm not sure it gets that far. I insert the disk, name the station, enter U/N and password for the setup user. Network connects fine give it a location and then it formats the drive and creates backup partition and XP partition (Blue screen grey scroll bars). After this the PC reboots and I get the error.

The sequence is HDD, CD, Floppy. I have tried CD, HDD and just HDD but i still get the same error.

Howdy, Being new to CC3 and my employers not seeing the need for training I am looking for help. We have a set of new RM Ascend 2040A workstations. When trying to build them I get as far as the HDD prep and the reboot. After this i get the following error: "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device. Press any key to continue..." I have all the required hardware support packs and have followed the instructions as given by RM. What am I doing wrong? If any one could help I would be the happiest techie alive! Thanks In advance.

I have been loaned to a local primary school that is running a CC3 network. I have been able to do most things asked so far, but this one has me beat. I am trying to get a simple batch file (all it does is copy a file) to run at staff logon. I have no idea where the startup scripts etc are or how to amend them. Any help advice or instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Just found out that as of September my services are no longer needed. Strange thing is I am really happy about it. I think the fact that I don't want the job must have come across in the interview. Yep me and the other techie had to be interviewed for our own jobs. They let it until now to do them even though they knew in April the school was out of cash and one of us would have to go! Oh well back to Uni for my masters then. So I guess the best way to quit is to apply for the job in my case. Just a shame I didn't get the job so I could inform them where they could place their job!!!!

Cheers Penfold, as HeeBeeJeeBee suggested I needed the domain name in caps. I apologise for blaming your script...

I don't get an error, I just don't see any change in the path for the temp variables and SIMS doesn't register the change either. I am using the correct Netbios Domain name. Any further help would be more than welcomed...

Right, had a quick search for this or similar problems to this but... Some student are experiencing problems when printing grahics and other media from office '07 apps. symptoms seem to be charts with areas missing etc or WordArt with letters missing. The printer is a Brother mono, but has no problems with other apps. Anyone had anything similar and found a fix?

Can anyone confirm that the script devised by penfold works? I have tried it and am still unable to print! (Whole SEN dept. are moaning at me ). The domain is correct and if I change the temp variables manually all works fine. If i run the script I get the error!

I used the compound yesterday and it seemed to work fine. Yes it is celcius, had to check though!

Anyone know why a P4 30.ghz would be running at 85 degrees idle? Having applied new compound as the old stuff was no existant. Its still running hot though. The temps are taken from bios on a foxconn board btw. Its running the stock intel cooler. Any suggestions or would it just be worth getting a better heatsink fan combo?

Hi all, Does anyone know how/if its possible to find the total number of users that have connected to our Terminal Server since it went live. I have tried a few scripts none of which correctly. Any advice would be welcome!

Nope, we have no software like that. Everything is handled through standard GPO settings. We have tried using the GPO manager in Vista but this has had no effect either!

Hi, I am trying to solve the mystery of the missing Start Menus that occur with the one and only Vista station we have. Currently Staff, Students and Admins have different Start menus rolled out through GPO redirection to a location on our fileserver. This works fine (and has doe since day one) for the XP stations, but will not work for staff or students on the Vista machine. We have tried using different groups in AD and assigning a different location to to groups, but still nothing. Is there something I am missing? Regards

Sorry to re-open this can of worms, but does anyone have a definitive answer for this problem as we have around five Sony Vaio laptops (running MS Vista Business) that are having the same problem. I have followed the advice given in this topic, but have had no success. I know the connect.ini is correct as it was taken directly from a working station in out office. Any advice/answers/suggestions would be more than welcome and I am willing to give anything a go... Regards

Problem: ppt 2003 presentation graphics screw up We have series of presentations created in powerpoint 2003 when some staff open the presentation the graphics and text (only when incased in a textbox) become misaligned. we have had problems with office 2003 and roaming profiles before, but the previous technician has left and we have no idea what they did to resolve it. Has anyone had similar or heard of similar problems and therefore know of a fix?
