I use Nero and it did not notice the media. I went to Walmart and exchanged the media for another spindle. The new CD-Rs work fine. Hopefully they continue to work. Thanks for pitching in.

Hello, I just bought a 100-pack of Memorex 52X, 700MB, 80min. CD-Rs and Only 5 CDs have worked so far. The plextor drive reads it, and then the orange blinking light comes on. There is no windows pop up, letting me know there is a new disk in the drive. When I go to My Computer > DVD-RW...

Good deal everybody. I did try chkdsk but it did not work, I'm glad it did not work :p I reformated the drive and now the drive is back to normal. Great help on Hardforum, thank you for the people who chimed in on this subject. /thread

Both tests stated, SMART Status: PASS Test Restult: PASS Also it listed the model number, serial number, date and all that stuff. I am not sure how to do that, I went into disk management and I could not find anything of that nature. I just called WDC and they said there is nothing I...

Zamboni, Thanks for speaking up. I already downloaed a recovery program called Recover My Files. I did a scan called 'Fast Format Recover' the information about the scan is 'Search for files on a partition that has been accidently formatted. Performs a quick search for existing partitions.'...

Can somebody please help me pick a Opera that is correct. I cannot find the one i used and i loved!! wtf

Good deal, i found that out. Its still a 'little' sluggish.. I have loaded all the same programs and stuff on my computer last night. Installation with EVERY program was SO fast! .. but still, sometimes the 4800+ seems sluggish.

Hello. I had the Opera 10 annivseray program for a couple years. I now have re-installed windows and i downloaed Opera Version 9.00. When i select a new website, it opens another 'program' and it goes on my Windows toolbar. Anybody know how to change this to Multiple Document Interface...

maybe go higher than FX-55? FX-57 is really fast, and the FX-60 is 2.6GHz dual core. Those are alot of money though.

Agreed. Can't wait till after work.. my 1st Real day to play around with the new 4800+ and.. a 200MHz overclock is VERY easy. You do not have to up the voltage.?

I think its a good idea, Great drive.

$140 for OEM Windows XP Pro w/SP2 ONLY b/c i want to change my main OS drive's letter to 'C' intead of 'G' .. alot of money to change 1 letter around! :( :eek: I am the ONLY one who uses my computer. I have 2 hard drives. 1) 74gb raptor 2) 500GB SE16.. I will know which one is the OS...

You cannot do that ;) (Am I wrong? tell me!) You can only change drive letters with drives that are not currently active. In other words, your OS drive (Main hard drive) cannot be changed in the computer management :( :thumbdown:

I have a couple questions, can you please help. I am not sure how to disconnect the card reader, from the motherboard :( Its not a IDE ribbon cable, or a SATA cable. I can disconnect it from the card reader itself, or on the mobo. I wonder which would be easier. i can give you a pdf of...

I did do a Fresh install of Windows. My main hard drive is the letter 'G' so i will do a fresh install of Windows a 2nd time. Really, i heard that messes stuff up. I will read up on it.

I'm on my dual core machine. I have to re-install windows so i cannot test my machine to the fullest. I now have these drivers installed. 1) motherboard's chipset drivers 2) video card's drivers 3) monitor's drivers 4) keyboard & mouse drivers/software. I will now see how my machine...

This is happening again, Anybody want to help? I got a new CPU and 2 new HDDs yesterday. I put the Nvida driver disk into my DVD Burner, once the Auto Run pulls up the Program, i selected the drivers i wanted to install and then it hangs, the program freezes. I guess its a scratched...

That Enermax unit will mess up with the drive letters, So i would just disconnect the 'IDE' source that goes to the Enermax unit.. Once windows is installed and running, plus in the Enermax IDE source.. and Windows would setup the new hardware?

I do not need those. I am not going to be using RAID. Install anyway? how much space will they take up.. maybe its a good idea to install them now, so when i do use RAID.. they will be there. What you think?

Yeah, next time i install windows.. i will do that. Good deal, i don't want to pay $65 for the program. I'm not sure if talk about torrents is allowed, but i would rather download the program.. I will only use it once One time use for $65 is not worth it IMO. (one time, as in today.. after...

What about Nvidia's Nforce 4 Ultra driver package? Gigabyte told me just to download the whole exe, which is about 40MBs. http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_win2k_6.86.html Version: 6.86 Release Date: July 7, 2006 WHQL Certified Windows XP/2000 Driver Versions Audio Driver...

Will print this out, so i can read this while i'm installing XP.. thanks for the answer, i think your right.. that would be the best way to do it. What if my DVD drive does not read my mobo's driver disk.. what could i do then? (I need my lan drivers to be installed.. so i can get on the...

Ockie, awesome.. i read your steps and that seems easy for me to follow.. I am at work for the next hours. I will try this ASAP when i get home.. thanks for speaking up :) One question, don't think you covered this. At what point, would i be able to choose the drive letter for the...

Why do i create a partition if i am only using the drive for storage? Partition- Dividing up hard drive space, for different usage? I'm getting all stressed out :eek:

I did not do this.. Can you please show me how? :) As in this way ( C: > Programs > Documents >.. ) (Easier for me to understand) Xyphox, its no problem. That happens sometimes :p

How would I use that to my advantage? I do not want any Partations on my computer (if I understand what a Partation is, I think I am confused) I have 2 HDDs.. 1 for my OS drive and 1 for my storage.. That’s all I want. I don't want a separate Partation for games/Windows Vista/Page file...
