How are you connected to the internet?

Are you using DSL or a cable modem?

Are you connected a router which is then connected to DSL/cable modem?

Two tricks that I do:

1) reboot the...

Hey folks, I was wondering if I could get some advice about adding some ethernet ready equipment to my home network.

I currently have my internet connection through a cable modem which is...

MS Virtual PC is free and may help you get off to a quick start too.

Both programs emulate a PC with its own HD, Memory, etc. You lose some performance vs. runninging a native o/s but you don't...

I think that as long as the WIN98 partition is FAT32 and that the boot partition has XP installed then you can have that partition as NTFS.

What I mean is that your NTFS partition can boot up both...

Glad you figured out the bad memory - It's so hard to go through an entire set-up and then kill yourself trying to figure out what is wrong. Memory troubleshooting can really suck if you have to...

Granted, my experience stems from two OEM install discs that I have used. I first had an NT install disk which came with an HP and it had the full version of NT Workstation however it would try to...

If this post goes against forum rules, then I appologize and ask that it be edited/deleted if so required.

In a legal sense, if you purchased a retail version of XP then you can remove it from the...

Make sure that your BIOS has HDD type set to "Auto" (for all drives) - it will try to detect your drives and you will get some "not detected" - this will determine if you have the drives connected to...

You will still have your old OS on the drive - until you decide to format it.

Now, the question is "will it work?" - and that is a bit more complicated as typically, the O/S installed on the old...

Not that I profess to be an expert but your specs are somewhat important since some of the users here have probably come across the same problem(s) with your components.

That said, I'm surprised...

Granted, there could be other reasons why your HDD isn't formatting. However, that eBay vendor might have done the old "bait and switch" on you.

Best thing to do in the future (for those of you...

The drive could definitely have problems - the WD software is pretty good (albeit slow) at analysing the drive.

Has your BIOS been updated? Sometimes the BIOS may not be able to access beyond a...

Secondary Master sounds almost right to me - it looks like it's not on the right channel - if you have two IDE's one is primary with a master and a slave and the other is secondary with a master and...

Proper connection to the IDE channel means that you have the IDE connected properly to the drive - sometimes the connector can be upside down. Also, it needs to be first cable in the chain (as there...

Can you please provide some more info about your configuration? From what I gather you have the following drives:

1 IDE DVD Drive
1 SATA Hard Disc Drive

Here's what I would do:

1) Make...

Just a quick question on DVD burner selections.

I am evaluating some of the DVD drives out there and unfortunately, the Sony DVD in Rob's list isn't available here in Canada (none of the major...

Six sockets? Ahh, methinks I need to invest in a new MOBO...

There is no such thing as slave/master in SATA. If your MOBO has SATA connectors, you should have a primary and secondary. There is no need to set any jumpers on most SATA drives, outside of some...

I'd like to have something that can organize a number of HTML pages, create picture galleries, etc.

I found Coffee Cup to be somewhat useful, but I'd like to try DreamWeaver too.

Hey Folks, just wondering if there were any opinions on web page design software/html editors?

I am looking for something that will allow me to update and maintain a website. I haven't used...

Kensington makes a computer locking system for Desktops:

I don't it's that hard to install and it looks like you can integrate it with your monitor too.

I've seen your post a few times before - are you sure that your are getting the correct version of the ISO from the WD website? It appears that you have the diagnostics CD vs. the installation CD...

Just discovered this problem with XP - the main cause is that XP can't support HDD's > 131 (or 137) GB's unless you have 48-bit LBA in XP (should be enabled with SP1). Also, your main board must...

Just wondering if you only need three drives for that (two striped and the other as a mirror for the other one - assuming it's large enough)?

Anyway, it looks like the price difference is a lot...

So do you think I'm giving up anything by going with SATA-150 vs. SATA-300?

My concern on the 74GB size is that I have a 74GB drive and it's maxed out - mind you, I have tons of files on it...
