Hi All!

Nevermind!

Winding up with this

C: HDD
D: HDD
E: HDD 1st partition
F: HDD second partition
G: CDR-W
H: DVD

Can this be done by just changing the drive letters and then use the drive mapper in Partition Magic?
Thanks! :D

I think in XP you can just go to the logical drive manager snapin and reassign the drive letters of any non system drives. Any other installed systems will see the drive letters differently though and if you've installed programs to another partition, I'm not sure even drivemapper would be able to sort all that out.
C, and D should be dummy or storage partitions too if you're concerned about security. If you can get used to the layout, it's actually a lot more secure as it would be too hard to guess the system letter.

Thanks Balamm
Never thought of it that way!
Yeah, I guess I can get used to it.

Your making me paranoid :lol:
I'm deleting the pic.

On the subject of security, I've decided to give black ice another go.
I Know................ :ph34r:
But I like it, and maybe it'll work better on XP than it did for me with ME.
Application protection system is more than a little annoying though.

I still wouldn't let Black Ice alone try to do it. Especially while sharing!
I still have three firewalls running at all times. If they get past one they have two more to go. hopefully I'll be there to catch it by that time.

I didn't know you could have 3 firewalls how do you do that & which do you use? Is Steganos internet privacy any good for preventing hackers or snoopers etc?

I Use black ice installed and configured to allow all but still autoblock.
Then sygate pro configured to the max.
After that it's a combination of server firewalls and depending on what I host, I might lower sygate enough to allow access to other protocols.
I still employ URL and packet scanning along with everything else.
Above all, I never give away my total configuration to anyone.
Even my operating systems change from day to day.

Maybe, but I've never had a site breached or defaced.
Never had a trojan.
Very few viruses have ever gotten in and none have ever executed.

I guess it is possible for a hacker to get through, and if s/he is determined s/he will anyways. There is no hardware that a good cracker cannot figure his way through. However, if you are really, really paranoid, then use something like Abtrusion Protector (http://www.abtrusion.com/Downloads/apindex.asp)

I used to run abtrusion protector back when I was really paranoid myself, it is less confusing to the user and more difficult to hack than any firewall and it is free for personal use. It is just a hassle because anytime you want to do anything you have to tell it that it is okay...

A good place to look to is Here too (http://www.xstem.com/archive/docs/microsoft/Untold_Windows.htm) if you still are paranoid, try Seroquel for your schizo stuff. It is good medicine for that.

I think as long as you do not have services like messenger, alerter, etc., it will take them a while to get anything.

Oh, yeah, it is good to see you back amphoteric88 B)

use PartitionMagic but its liitle risky with XP, some times it mess up with it

What if I use the firewall within XP combined with Black Ice? :huh:
I have a 56k connection as well.

Seroquel :lol:
That shit would knock out a horse.

BTW, I'm not worried about someone hacking in and stealing something.
It's the other shit they can do once their in!

Just turn off application protection if it bothers you. I actually think BlackIce is very good. I think it is the best.
