oh, maybe I've only got a SATA raid on my board... Thanks!

I just got two matching 10 gig hard drives for free, I wanted to set up a RAID on my system (just for fun) but I already have a cd burner and two hard drives, and my mobo only supports 4 devices. To...

Won't accept the disk? Do you mean that it won't create the disk, or that you can't boot off of it?

Another way out of memtest would be to do what I did: Find a close friend and swap his parts...

You're right about the lingo! *smacks head* But I have had a computer not boot after clearing CMOS. It just wouldn't even start loading the OS. (maybe it's just me....) Fortunately though, I have...

Make sure it has ram! I know this sounds stupid, but I actually managed get as far as you have on a laptop with no ram.

it's easy, just download the zip file and extract it (all in the same directory). Run Rawrite.exe and it will ask you for the image name, type memtest.bin and push enter. Then it'll ask you for a...

I was running windows ME half on a bad stick of RAM for 5 months once, when we opened up the case, the ram was burnt, literally! it's definitely possible

Then this is either a hardware issue or a driver issue. Try downloading all the new drivers for your system from the manufacturer website. If the problem persists, you're going to have to go through...

How recently did you "just" reformat it? If it was just a few days ago, this is probably a hardware issue. Otherwise, it could be a virus or spyware, but this is not likely because of the software...

I used to get these all the time. And honestly, I don't think I ever fixed it (only because the Pavillion xt155 is the WORST laptop ever produced) but I digress. I'd recommend running a memory test...

Uh....what OS are you running?

Alright, first tell us everything you know about your computer. Which operating system? Hard drive model? did you build it yourself? if not, is is a dell? HP?.....

Try add/remove programs, then go to add/remove windows components. That's my only guess.

are you sure that the cd rom was not in the bios? You might have another menu available for booting. If you do, it's probably accessed with an F key during bootup, maybe F8? if the bootup goes by...

Try using a different mouse/keyboard. I know it's a stretch, but I've had some bad keyboards in the past that just loved to mess with me.

I've had that blue screen many times before, in case your were interested, it says "the system was shut down to prevent damage" Normally the result of bad drivers/hardware or just XP's quirkyness. ...

If that cmos thing doesn't work, I recommend getting a new drive...fast.
Hopefully, you won't need this, but I heard somewhere that if your hard drive is broken to the point that you can't read from...

If your building a totally new kit, and you have the money, go with a special water cooling case. These things are all-ready. They've got their resevoirs and radiators where they won't get in the...

Not to mention that when it becomes cheaper, the X2 uses the same socket as the single-core 64s (939). So you should be able to upgrade with a simple BIOS update. THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.....

To answer your question dual channel is like having a RAID 0, your computer writes to each stick at the same time, thus "doubling" performance. You will want to have two equal sticks. Some...

One of the big things to keep in mind is that the intel dual core proc uses a different socket than standart p4s, and apparently is "less elegant" than it's AMD counterpart because each core is...

I would go with one of the GA-k8n socket 939 board with an amd 64 proc. I don't know exactly which mobo you should get, because I don't know what kind of video card you have. Even the best in the...

Normally, when you can't get ANYTHING to happen, it's the BIOS that's the problem. I would erase BIOS by taking out the BIOS battery. This is the little silver thing on your motherboard that looks...

I wouldn't worry about that, get a Venice, that's the new core, and I don't think it costs any more than a clawhammer.

Give a little more info about what kind of partitioning software you used. All of your problems point to an un-partitioned hard drive.

10k Raptors, wow! Are you sure your drives are RAIDed? When you said "I do not use them for different os's or anything" it makes it sound like you have two totally separate drives. With a raid, your...

I need a little more info. If you close the cd's window when the new cd is in, it still shows info for the other cd? If you, say, try to open a song on the cd that isn't in the drive anymore, does it...

I don't mean to be rude, but you should try to spell/punctuate correctly first. I honestly cannot understand exactly what your problem is.

your problem is probably not your hard drive, it's either your windows cd, your cd drive, or your ram. Oh, and you can't install windows on another computer and bring it to yours when you install...

It should be available to change in the bios, check your manual. The only issue I can see is that when you remove the RAID 0, you will have two hard drives with little bits and pieces of your data...

I just got two matching 10 gig hard drives for free, I wanted to set up a RAID on my system (just for fun) but I already have a cd burner and two hard drives. To solve this, I found an old ata66 pci...
