    How exactly did you update the bios. Also what does the beep sound like. It may just be that the video card became unseated from its pci connection. Glp1

    Trying to load from wrong hard drive

    I just went into the bios and switched the order in which the hard drives should boot and that fixed the current problem. I did not see where to set the priority of the hard drives in the bios though.

    Trying to load from wrong hard drive

    I just recently bought a new Maxtor SATA/150 drive. I then did a clean install of windows XP onto this drive. Later I formatted the previous seagate IDE drive and placed it into the system. Everything runs fine for a while then I get a message there was an error loading the operating system...

    Office XP retail what the scoop with the registration

    Miksem, it is exactly that type of attitude that forced MS to adopt the strict registration policies they have. Office 2000 and Win 2000 are not free programs you just didn't pay for them. If you don't want to pay for the use of their software then don't use it. If you don't have the money...

    Need help installing new hard drive

    I want to swap out the 4 gig hard drive that is in my brother's system and replace it with an 8.4 gig hard drive. Is there a way to simply copy the current drive onto the new drive or do I need to re-install everything. I was thinking about using dos commands such as xcopy or something. TIA...

    Are there any updates for win 98 that give better performance?

    Upgrading: Geforce2, and P3 pricing/advice.

    As far as the processor goes I have no idea since I have only used AMD processors. As for the video card I am in a similar situation, I have a V3 2000. The reviews I have seen show a very minor difference between geforce 2 cards with 32MB vs 64MB of memory with approx $100 difference between...

    The best place for hard drive reviews is here If you are remotely considering upgrading your motherboard the latest MSI board has a promise 100 controller built into it. Abit uses the highpoint controller. Glp1del

    What's the big deal about Blue Copper Die T-birds?

    The difference in color can tell if the processor was made at the Texas FAB or in Germany. The difference is due to the polishing done at the two different FABS. I believe all of the t-birds come from Germany and the durons can come from either. The belief is the durons that come from Germany...

    Dumb DSL question

    I believe what db is refering to is a $10 a month ISP charge and most likely a $40 a month dsl charge, for a total of $50 a month or so. At least that is how it works with my Bellatlantic dsl line, which costs $40 a month total. Glp1del

    Best (most simple) Switchbox for 2 monitors (1 computer)

    At work we use a kvm from Belkin. They seem to work just fine. I could not find the exact one we use but it might just be an older model. A while back someone was trying to sell a belkin KVM on the for trade forum he may still have it? Good luck Glp1

    question about RAID

    There are multuple confirguraions that are possible but the most common two for desktop systems is raid 0, stripped, and raid 1, mirrored. In the stripe configuration 2 drives act as one with only part of the information being written to each drive. Thus performance is increased because only...

    Do you HAVE to use to identical hard drives for RAID 0

    I believe that identical drives are not requited. However, if the drives are of different sizes you will be limited to the size of the smaller drive. So if you have one that is 10 gigs and one that is 27 gigs you will be limited to only 10 gigs. Also I would think the speed would also be...

    Which is better? Duron or Classic Athlons?

    I don't recall seeing any direct comparison graphs but I am sure they exist. I would think the duron has better performance because it is my understanding that the l2 cache is on die and running at the same speed as the FSB, default 100MHz and increasing to 133MHz on the newest boards. The...

    Need a little help with hard drives and floppy drives.

    Don't know about LS 120 drives, but internal zip drives connect via one of the ide channels, ie not the floppy drive connection and require the larger power supply connection, again not like the floppy drive. You can always get external zip drives either USB, scsi, or parallel. Hope that...

    Question about the different raid options???

    Thanks for the replys. One of my fellow graduate students who just defended had problems backing up onto zip disks because of the size of the figures within her thesis. I think I might look into a good cheap cd-r. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Is RAID worth it?

    In a raid 0 or striped array if one hard drive fails all data is lost; however, in a raid 1 or mirrored array that jjsimas is talking about the two drives are identical so if one fails the other can be use to recover the data. If the power goes out all temporary memory will be lost hopefully...

    Question about the different raid options???

    I am just about to sit down and write my PhD thesis and was thinking about setting up a mirrored raid system to insure that it is not lost somehow. I was looking into the ide raid solution using 2 X 8.4 gig ide drives and a promise ATA 33 raid card. This system is meant for redundancy not...

    When formating a hard drive what does this mean??

    Actually it is fourteen bad sectors that could not be patched by scandisk and then it found and fixed at least a 4 more probable bad sectors within the first 1/3 of the drive before I exited out. So there are actually more than 14 bad sector areas. So I agree I am not going to use this drive...

    When formating a hard drive what does this mean??
