    Hard drive not recognized by my computers after re-format gone bad.

    Someone recommended I unplug all of the other hard drives on my computer, and boot into knoppix and run this: 1) su - root 2) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda is that a safe command to run?? Will it help?

    Hard drive not recognized by my computers after re-format gone bad.

    But I wouldn't think a format could possibly corrupt the drive to the point of no return... or did the HDD just fail coincidentally at the same time? I hadn't used the drive in about 3 months, maybe it had failed before and i just noticed when I tried to format it?

    Hard drive not recognized by my computers after re-format gone bad.

    Anyone know why? I formatted it to NTFS in windows 7 and a popup came up saying "the format could not be completed successfully". Then the drive did not show up. It does not show up in computer managment / disk managment at all. I have tried it plugged in internally through IDE and externally...

    My MOBO only accesses 3.2 gb of ram?

    I have a p5w DH deluxe, and when I go to the bios, it recognizes that there is 6 gb of ram installed, but it says "3.2gb accessible". A p5w DH deluxe can take up to 8 gigs, so what is the issue??? EDIT: Fix - enable memory remapping in your BIOS.

    Where is the Clear CMOS on my p5wDH deluxe

    I am looking for the CLR_CMOS lable on my mobo, but cannot find one. My motherbord only seems to have 3 of my 6 gigs of installed RAM as available.

    Have 6 gigs of ram installed. System shjows 6, but taskmgr shows 3?

    The task manager only shows 3gb's, and when I open after effects it only shows that it is using 3 gb's as well. But my actual system info shows 6 gb's and I have that much installed. Is it an issue with taskmanager and after effects being 32bit applications? this is 64bit vista btw.

    already tried that. Ic ant' do anything to the drive. And I don't care if it's recognized in windows, I just want to be able to install ubuntu on it. BTW, switching it so it is plugged in on the PRI_IDE cable works, but then I have no way of plugging in my drive.
