if you can answers any of these questions for me I'd be very grateful. i was not sure where to post these questions in software or hardware:
1)
i have a NTFS partition and windows XP installed on it. i boot up with the winXP CD and want to format that partition, but it only allows me to install winXP over the previous installion. how can i have the options to format the NTFS partition?
it seems the only way is to delete and remake the partition, than format. is there another way to format NTFS other than a win2k or winXP operating system CD?
--------------------------------------------
2)
if one of the processors fail in a multi-processor computer can you replace that bad processor while the computer is still powered on like you can if a hard disk fails, or do you have to turn off the system first?
---------------------------------------------
3)
how do i use wake-on-lan (WOL) feature of my network card. when i try to access a computer in my peer-to-peer that is powered off i will get an error saying that network resource is unavailable. same thing is true when i try to connect to a client computer that is off with pcAnywhere.
how can i wake up those computers with wake on lan? is there a command i have to issue or do i simply need to enable WOL in the BIOS?
