Got a Dell Form Factor from server room for building latest version of Vista. Set it all up on my desk and used a laptop to burn the downloaded version of Vista. I had to first backup the hard drive of the form factor onto mkhqfile server using acronis true image software. After backing it up started booting off the Vista CD to rash the hard drive. System failed to boot off the CD. It was absolutely weird. At first it appeared to be problem with the CD drive. Diagnosed it and came across the fact that it was just CD-ROM and Vista one was a DVD.
Ulrik Loretzen had problems with applying an office 2003 application called Remove Hidden File Tool which verifies the hidden component in a office document and allows the user to remove them. He installed the software from the microsoft website but could not run it. I had to go through the process of downloading it onto my my machine and troubeshooting how to use it. Went through microsoft and some other independent articles on how to implement it. Cracked it and sent him an email since he had left for a business trip abroad.
