You need to mount the drive (partitions) to be able to see them in My Computer.

To do so, follow these steps:

- Rightclick "My computer", Select "manage".

Not so.

If the drive settings are set on "Optimize for quick removal" in device manager, then the only formatting options for it would be FAT and FAT32.

However, if the "Optimize for...

You can set the HD order in BIOS, making the SATA one first in line. Windows accesses the HDs primarily by drive's/partition's numbers designated by SATA or IDE channels, and not letters. By default,...

I was suspecting GPU core to go over 80, which would explain the artifacts appearing on the screen. Apparently, that is not the case.

Colors changing, artifacts and erratic lines appearing with...

I am a lurker with lots of opinions and nerve to share them. :-)

Ok, that's what it should be.

There should be entries in your event logs regarding volume errors. You should see if there is any info that could shed some light on what is causing this.

In case...

Yes it would.

Before you try with XP setup CD, try this:

Click Start, then "run" and type regedit

Look for "HKEY_Local_mackine\System\currentControlSet\Control\Session manager". Click on...

a) You can always "click" using keyboard.
b) If it is USB mouse, try PS/2 if possible. (vice-versa)

Usually yes, if the appropriate drivers are installed and if the design isn't flawed like nForce4 chipset and its hardware-driven firewall. Otherwise, they would be redundant.

*snif-snif*.. smells like a spam..

I eat food and drink liquid. Not just water.

He made Boo mad. He should apologize. He was insulting, not funny.

They look what they look like, but they taste good and are traditional sweets. Not something that should be regarded as vomit....

Please do, please do.

*opens his mouth wide*

P.S. no chocolate

Half-boiled, hehe

Ham or cheese?

Looks (http://drawapig.desktopcreatures.com/gallery/large.asp?id=1527997&p=0&hof=1&q=personality+test) like a dog.

3 things:

1. wrong forum
2. no nasties
3. no firewall

I got no negative reps... WOW! I got rep OUTSIDE geek's lounge too!:cool:

A really bad cook.

No prob. Glad to help.

I have A8N Sli mobo, and only reason for the upgrade (apart from nForce 4 Chipset) is the socket 939. I had misfortune to buy my mobo just before the AM2 socket got released, and judging from the CPU...

Glad to hear that you saved the important files.

If your drive is operational, best and safest thing to do is to delete all of the partitions and create one or more using windows setup. There is...

What I had in mind were real posts and members that were sanctioned. Examples of "what not to do" if you will.

Edit:
Wow! First post in 3 years? And to reply to ME?! I'm faltered!

You bet right. Old threads, 3-4 replies, 3-4 thousand views.

P.S. Just noticed different rep dots colors (darker ones). I'm never gonna have those.

Encrypted!

I'll quote Bill and Ted:" Eeeexcellent!"


P.S. (F) is a Flower symbol.

When I said "switch", I ment "on/off switch", not the voltage selector.

You must be certain that the PSU is one that's toasted. There could be number of reasons why your machine won't boot. PSU...

If the SATA drive shorted, it most probbably fryed the first PSU. New PSU dettected the shorting and protection kicked in.
Now, in this situation, the beeper would come in handy.

From the looks...

First boot after new card was plugged in is normally very long. That is because the system is looking for new drivers for the new piece of hardware.

I suggest that you install video drivers and...

I was inspired to write this thread by a "The end of all life (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry1065.html)" blog and it is somewhat complemented by it.

Couple of years back I watched some...

I guess I owe some explanations.

I have a temper and a rebel soul that sometimes gets wrongly interpreted. I tend to engage in debate quite passionately, but never in a negative prefix. If I had...

Me too. Doube yay.

If I'm reading this correctly, your PC isn't working, and when you use another PSU it is.

You'll have to change the PSU (how smart of me:cheesy: ).

If you want to know if some motherboard has...

Bare in mind that 1 Gig sticks are slower than 2 of 512 MB of a same vendor/model, so if you're looking for a permanent memory expansion, I advice to go for 2x512 instead of 1 gig.

Hmm... Piracy. What is piracy?

Here are my opinions and thoughts:


Definition of piracy:

Am I a pirate if I a make copy of Metallica's "Ride the lightning" so I wouldn't have to...

Bare minimum with video feedback would be motherboard, CPU & VGA. (keyboard is needed for the BIOS setup)
Some mobo's do have some functionality without CPU, but it only goes so far as CPU...

So why DRIVE at all?

Until now I wondered is there somthing that I can do to help the human kind.

Now I have a mission...a call....a purpose....a meaning to my existance...

(have go and shake off the sensation)

I have a question:

I recived (10) reputation points (a mistake, I'm sure)

What are they for?
