If your having trouble identifying the modem, take it out and and have a look at the biggest chip on the board. It'll have 1 or more code numbers on it and if you're lucky, it'll have the chipset manufacturer as well (very often connexant).

Go to www.driverguide.com, sign-up and then use the 'simple search' option. leave the 'device type' and 'operating systems' drop down boxes on 'any' and type in the manufacturer and / or one of the numbers that you got from the modem. Hopefully, you'll get a few results.

If you get no results, try putting in absolutely ANYTHING you can see on the modem in to the search!

a driver will fit into a floppy for sure... all you need is the .inf file (may be .sys too )

If you're referring to microsoft operating systems, they've made a lot of progress since win95, and therefore XP would be their "best" OS for now.

However, microsoft offers a lot of other products as well. Word processors, office suites, compilers, web services, etc.

So, what's their best product now?

I don't really care if the "best" product comes from microsoft or not, my only concern is if the product works for me.

they have made alot of progress since 95, but IMO, 95 was their most stable system...

anyway, i will check out the drivers and all and let you guys know how it goes.

Partitioning software?

Windows CDs has them (it's called fdisk), Linux has them too, and they're free.
