What are these hard drive features about?

Ok, I just called WD tech support but got no help from a level-2 agent. The agent looked into their database and told me that the 65D6B0 batch were specially configured for some HP computers. He suggested me to return them back to the distributor. Then I asked him about those hard drive...

What are these hard drive features about?

Thanks for your replies! Blain - it's the "Pro" version and I got confirmation by HDDScan v3.1 which indicates neither of the following is supported by WD7500AACS-65D6B0: * Host Protected Area (HPA) -- Not Supported * Password Protection -- Not Supported Which sort of confirms...

What are these hard drive features about?

I recently got two batches of WD7500AACS (WD 750GB GP) drives. Namely, they are WD7500AACS-00D6B0 and WD7500AACS-65D6B0. I noticed some difference between the two batches in "supported features" shown under HD Tune's drive info tab. The 65D6B0 batch does not support the following features...

Zap's Mini Review: ECS G31T-M

Thanks for your reply and recommendation, OP. I've done some extensive online research today. Carefully wading through lots of user comments and several review sites, I've reached the following consensus: - The ECS G31T-M board has a hard FSB wall around 340+ MHz, regardless the FSB straps...

Zap's Mini Review: ECS G31T-M

Could you elaborate a bit about what CPU with what BSEL mod did you try to overclock with? If jrichrds could get a 1333 FSB Q9550 to run at 423MHz * 8.5 on this board, chances are, any BSEL mod to the 1333 FSB strap should get you a similar result (of course you'd also have a VID mod done in...

Thermaltake Big Typhoon Model CL-PO114 - Radio Shack Close Out $5.97

I used Big Typhoon on my XP-M 2400+ and 2500+ (both Barton) long time ago. One OC'd to 2.4GHz the other 2.35GHz and the temps under full load of Prime95 were about 70+C in the summer (ambient temps about 80-85F). Idle temps were always within 5C of the ambient. The Big Typhoon was king of the...

Linksys WRT54G-TM T-Mobile Edition - $19.99 B&M

Uh... because the item is used, and there's no power adapter, no warranty whatsoever coming with it? BTW I saw 4 bids as time of this post... perhaps I'm looking at a different auction.

P35 Double Boot

The lack of northbridge chipset controls across the boards of this Gigabyte series is, well, quite a shortcoming. Since every single P35 chipset could be different (i.e. manufacturing variations), even if ever so slightly, without offering several fine tuning options for the chipset (e.g. GTL...

P35 Double Boot

I had a similar problem with my P35-DS4 and I found the following thread that temporary fixed the problem: http://forums.tweaktown.com/f6...h-voltage-0-2-a-25469/ The tricky solution is to set PCI-e freq. at 101MHz, then the double boot (along with all MIT settings eradicated) problem is...

/home/null error message

I just removed Flash 9 ActiveX, and installed Flash 9 Plugin (which is the ActiveX counterpart for Firefox/Netscape/Opera; the Flash 9 ActiveX is for IE only) for Firefox. The IE can open & stay at discovercard.com all right, so the Plugin doesn't affect IE. Now it's narrowed down to the...

/home/null error message

Ok I just tried Ran1inJT's suggestion above but it didn't work. First I uninstalled both Flash 9 ActiveX and Plugin, and then I was able to stay at discovercard.com site without getting bounced off. "Great!" I thought, then I went ahead and downloaded the latest Flash 9 Player (ver 9,0,115,0)...

/home/null error message

Before this issue I already have Adobe Flash Player 9 (ActiveX + Plugin) installed. I don't think that it is the culprit, but I will uninstall & reinstall it again just to see if that makes any difference. Will post back when it is done.

Thanks Bruce, I appreciate your following up with this issue. I followed your advice, restored the security update and downloaded the fix. The problem doesn't go. Incidentally, I tried running IE 7 without add-ons (right click the IE icon and select the "Start without Add-ons" option) and the...

Ok I removed that security update (KB942615) but the problem is still there. I want to add that I started noticing this page redirecting issue since about middle of December, which coincided with the date of the security update. Even though the security update is removed now, I suspect there's...

I have exactly the same problem as described by ray1inJT! Tried everything, including following Bruceb's instructions above to the letter but nothing worked. The bad host file shows only one IP (127.0.0.1) there which can not be the culprit. Really don't know what happened, as my friend's PC...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Guys, thanks for a very informative thread (especially to the OP, xtknight)! I have a question for Acer AL2051W. How do you guys find out it's panel type is the AMVA "M201EW01 V3"? Was it because someone opened up the back cover and read the label on the the panel? If that is how the panel...
