Lost Notification Area

In the process of installing XP, (XP-64 bit), I have lost the notification area (r-h side of task bar). It was there, at first! I think the problem started after installing 'tweakui' and setting/changing options there. I have gone through every line, line by line, looking for something. Not just tweakui, every setting. This has happened before, its been a few years tho, and I dont remember what I did to fix it. I dont want to start over, so this new project is on hold for now.

I inadvertantly checked a box that said 'hide icons'. Unchecked, all is well, just a blunder on my part, , , ,

If anyone wondered, I have a Kingwin this-- > http://www.kingwin.com/kf-255-bk-2/ $13 at Frys Also, I bought ----> https://www.ebay.com/bhp/laptop-hard-drive-lot (<--example!) 10 WD 80 gig hdds for $60 & similarly, 8 or 10 120gig hdds. I install all sorts of os's to test them. If I wanna keep one, I clone it to a larger sized 2.5 or 3.5 hdds.

Clone with a 'kingwin power dock' <- very simple cloning! http://www.kingwin.com/storage/docking-stations/pd-2537u3-power-dock/

Got the dock on craigslist for $10, some guy tried to clone a laptop drive & put the drives in the wrong sockets. Cloned empty drive 'contents' to his 'C' drive, losing everything. He did not want it period, after that.

Partitioning software on cloned drive to access remaining (un-partitioned) area.

I have never tried 'dual-booting', this way, swapping hdds, every os is completely seperate,

I'm rambling, , , , ,
