How do you know which bit version Windows XP is?
If you are running one of these Windows XP version - XP Home, XP Pro, XP Media Center or XP Tablet PC Edition version 2002 (or Media Center 2004) you have a 32bit version.
At present the 64bit Editions of Windows are packaged with 64 Bit computers so they have the name '64-Bit Edition' or 'x64 Professional' rather than just XP Home or XP Pro.
If you don't know what XP version you're running, right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties". On the "General" tab you'll see SYSTEM: and your version will be shown.
What types of file systems are available with Windows XP?
The three types of file system supported by Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1 are:
- FAT(16)
- FAT32
- NTFS
Each has pros and cons to its use.
FAT stands for File Allocation Table; this refers to the fact that everything on the disk is tracked using a table listing all files and their locations. The File Allocation Table has to be in a fixed location on the disk, so that when the computer starts it can read it and find the system files on the disk. Amongst other differences between FAT16 and FAT32, the main one is that FAT32 supports larger disks (or larger partitions or volumes on the disk, to be precise).
Again, whilst NTFS is different from both FAT types in many ways, one of the main ways is that it is a transaction-oriented file system. It uses a Master File Table, along with the $NTFSLog$ file, to keep track of both the location of objects within the partition, and the things done to those objects. This means, for example, when running CHKDSK on an NTFS partition/volume, the transaction log is checked, and used to roll back what's been done to the point where the file system works again. Other features include POSIX compliance, and the ability to set permissions.

i have yet to figure out how to do it in command prompt, but you can do it in notepad... just copy and paste this code

goto admin
:admin
net localgroup administrators USERNAME /add
pause
where username and password are enter your desired username and password, not your normal account, because this code will add a NEW user to log in as, and from this admin file, you can grant yourself admin access, that is, if your admin hasn't blocked that command so that you get "system error 5, access denied"

A driver CD is a CD that contains the software "program" that operates (drives) computer hardware. Many hardware components operate best when they are "driven" by the software created by their makers, rather than the generic drivers that are installed by the opperting system, e.g. Windows. In that case, the manufacturer will usually include those drivers, called device drivers, on a CD (they used to come on floppies) that the user can install on his/her computer by running the CD and following the instructions on the installation guide. Printers, for example, usually come with one, and computer makers include a driver CD containing device drivers for their components so the owner can reinstall them if necessary.
Different device drivers must be written for each operating system and they are usually included on manufacturers' Driver CDs for Microsoft and Apple operating systems. Finding and installing them on UNIX and Linux systems can be difficult for a new user since manufactures frequently don't include them on their driver CDs, but this situation is improving.
