    SanDisk Cruzer Micro 128mb Jump Drive Question

    Is it just me or does anyone else get the anoying pop up in the bottom right hand screen when they plug this in? It says, device is not connected to a high speed hub, yet low and behold, the window opens that shows the usb tree and it is in fact connected to a usb high speed hub. Any takes?

    FastTrack 100 TX2 Question

    conflict resolved. it turns out making the arrays for each individual drive works. they work as stripe w/ strip blocks running on 64kb. its this alright or is running them on 64kb strip blocks lagging me?

    FastTrack 100 TX2 Question

    Right...maybe making them up as their own arrays (the controller allows 4), but won't that erase the data on them?

    FastTrack 100 TX2 Question

    Okay...this is probably a very stupid question but i'll shoot because i just can't seem to find the answer anywhere (and yea I googled): Does anyone know how to take the FastTrack 100 TX2 and turn it into a simple IDE controller on an XP system (I noticed when I did a search there came up a...

    XP, The Mobo Replacement, and the Predicament Now

    Okay, update: mobo came in, plugged it all up, still hangs on the install right after "press f2 for system restore". to be honest, im starting to think this is all proccessor. I tried installing linux and it hanged on the install too. im almost certaint hat once the proc. hits a certain...

    XP, The Mobo Replacement, and the Predicament Now

    After looking over the setup with a friend and carefull consideration, we've come to the conclusion that the optical drives have shorted/destroyed the ide controller on the new mobo (and possibly the previous mobo). Wheater only the burner or both of the two drives are to blame will probably...

    XP, The Mobo Replacement, and the Predicament Now

    Ok, so I formated the hd on another computer....now the ide doens't want to recognize the optical drives! I reach: NTLDR is missing (ctrl-alt-del to restart). Sigh.

    XP, The Mobo Replacement, and the Predicament Now

    Alrighty - ran Memtest86 for 2 passes, no issues - according to the guide 1 pass is a pretty good indication of memory health, so at least thats covered... Any other guesses? Oh and my windows install cd is okay (no scratches etc), so thats out. Perhaps it really is a hard drive issue...only...

    XP, The Mobo Replacement, and the Predicament Now

    Well the reason im saying the cpu and ram are ok are that im getting past post...perhaps that isn't the only way to detect cpu and ram failure (but i did remove the one ram dimm at a time and booted but froze at the same place at the install). The windows protection Im talking about is that...

    XP, The Mobo Replacement, and the Predicament Now

    A few weeks ago my computer went awol on me. I was in the process of burning a cd on the go when the burning process stopped and smoke came out from the cracks between the optical drives - long story short, computer wouldn't boot up again (it would barely make it to windows, and on the...
