After you download El Capitan, I received the following error message when you try to install: the drive is not formatted in MAC OS extended (journaled). Use disk utility to enable logging or reformat the disc. Can anyone help? (My disk utility shows that she in MAC OS extended (journaled) format.)
It shows that it is Mac OS extended, not journaled. Click enable logging in the toolbar.
The thing you read is if you format the drive using the RAID settings you have selected. You have to look at the bottom of the window where it shows the Format.

I have Windows XP Home Edition, the internet connection switched through Earthlink and McAfee antivirus. In August, my antivirus software and when I tried to access the internet, the computer locked up--had to disconnect/reconnect to restart. Problem persisted. McAfee can tell me nothing. At the suggestion of Dell, I replaced the hard drive. Reinstalled Windows mfg disk and could connect to the internet just fine w/out of antivirus software. Installed McAfee and locked up again. McAfee is baffled by this, as is Earthlink. When I tried the Earthlink software, I received the following message before the computer locked: RAS error Interactive Mode #703. EarthLink told me that there is a "Windows problem in common. If anyone can help?

Thank youHi BuddyWoods,
· What is the exact error message?
· Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
Before windows updates, follow these methods.
Method 1: Put the computer in a clean boot state before proceed with the installation of update to see if there are any software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353
Note: After the clean boot for troubleshooting, return the computer to a Normal startupmode.
Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

Method 4: Reset the Windows Update components.
