Here I Am Again. I Think I Entered The Bios But I Didn't See Any Enable Or Disable Apic Mode And Those Guys From Hp Want To Charge Me FOR What They Should Have Told Me In The Pc Manual. IT Sounds Ridiculos. Well I FoRgot About IT. I Need Help To Know HoW To Move To Drive C FroM An External Hd All The Files Because I Just Found Out THAT The Files In Drive C Playback Just Fine. No Problems At All, But Still Want To Keep A Backup In The External Hd F, I Kind Of Have An Idea But I Don't Want To Mess Up With It Because You Know What It Takes To Uploads The Music.

Thank You All And Have A Happy New Year

First make sure your drive has enough free space to hold the files and not bog the system down. A minimum of 25 - 30% of free space is needed for the computer to function right without slowing down.
Use Windows Explorer -
Find the files on your External and figure the total space they take up (right click on the Folder they are in and go to properties).
Find your C: drive, right click on it and go to properties. See if you have enough space.
If so then using Windows Explorer back to the folder on the External, left click on the first file, go to the bottom of the list and holding the shift key down left click on last file. This will highlight all the files.
Then right click in the highlighted arear and click on Copy.
Next go to the C: drive to the folder where you want the files (C:\MTU\KMA Files?). Right click on the right side of the window and select paste. Sit back as this will take a while if you have a lot of song files.
After you have moved the files you will have to open Hoster and rebuild the database for the new location or it won't see the files.

I find this maneuver very difficult for some reason. Especially if there are a LOT of files to scroll through. I use either the edit/select all drop-down, or just ctrl+A.

Douglass and Marklwood. What about if I just right click on the folder and then copy and then paste in drive c.
I did so and rebuilt the d.b but still hoster doesn't see them. I have to plug the external drive

Thank You

Douglass and talking back about the BIOS I just noticed that on the second page after turning on my pc displaying the info. system you know it shows BIOS ARE SHADOWED. Also Shows: NO TPM OR TPM HAS A PROBLEM. If you know about it please let me know otherwise I will call HP I hope they won't charge me for that

Thank you

You have to add the location the rebuild is looking at to whereever you put the KMA files on your C: drive and remove the location for the external drive. Otherwise Hoster thinks you are trying to rebuild using the external drive location.

Bios Shadowed means a copy of the Bios information has been placed in your RAM memory. It is very small and won't effect anything.
Do not know what the TPM is referring to. Have you tried looking it up on the internet or on Dell Support?

You did just install Vista didn't you? Vista takes full advantage of the TPM. I don't know for sure if the computer you have actually has a TPM chip in it. The BIOS upgrade probably didn't take that in to consideration. They wrote the BIOS for systems with, and without TPM chips. I suspect yours doesn't have the chip, but the BIOS makes Vista think you do, causing the error. It shouldn't cause you any problems if this is the case, just annoy you every time you boot up.

Mark I Didn't Upgrade To Vista. I Just Bought A New Comp. With Vista. I Appreciate Your Help.

I have a TPM chip on my new laptop with XP...I disabled it. I don't need something else eating up processor time and blocking something I want to do.
