EIDE hard drive not found

I'm trying to install a new primary hard drive in my PC and for some reason, the BIOS sees it as the Primary IDE with my DVD drive as the slave. For some reason though, when i try to install vista from a clean install, it doesn't see it at all and is asking for drivers. I've had to do that with...

Vista and SLI

How do I know that my 2 7800 GT boards are still in SLI? I downloaded the new Nvidia drivers but i haven't seen yet an option within the Nvidia control panel for SLI, so I'm not 100% confident that SLI is present. Where are the setting options to turn or verify SLI is on or off?

Vista and SLI

I just downloaded the Vista specific drivers, and I'm currently running 2 7800GTs in SLI (or at least they were in XP prior). How can I make sure these cards are still running in SLI-mode or where is the option in the new Vista drivers to turn SLI back on? thanks

Drive problem

Finally got Windows XP installed. But I can't figure out why the disc drive is not accessing the discs while in Windows. First of all, I know the drive works because I was able to install Windows. However on a clean install, a disc in the drive either locks up 'My Computer' or causes Windows...

yeah, thats what I thought it was. the chip on this board is as follows: P5N33 0209 BC86 GSV13 if i think right, i believe it is 0209 on this board, meaning that I can't use the 920 on it without a flash to 0212. Would a cheap Celeron D work on this board and the 0209 bios it has just...

i've been reading about the Bios may need an update for this board with the 920 processor. Is there any way to update it to support it, because I have no idea what's on this board. I don't see where it may be labeled as to what version it has.

so far, i still get the same thing. I followed the book to the letter, and still nothing. Also, to turn it off, i need to hold the power button down. I don't think that's normal either.

nah, no wool. I like cotton... anyways... I know it's getting power because the motherboard LED light is on, the CPU fan turns on, and so does the light in the power supply. I think thats a hint.

Changing Monitor setting in XP

How do I change the monitor from Default Monitor to the correct one in WinXP. I think I'm having problems getting Civ3 to work because of the default monitor. I get a "dead" screen because my monitor enters power save mode. May be a problem with the refresh rate.

Gainward Geforce 3 w/ Vivo question w/ Win XP

How do I get video input with my Gainward Geforce3 w/ VIVO? I have the connector, but the first problem is what program do I use to access the input video? Secondly, I may have heard that the Vivo may not work yet with Win XP. Is this true, or is there a driver I'm missing?
