Hah, I ended up doing the same. Actually still had the unallocated space so I just used a neat little program called "Partition Wizard" to set it right.

Is there anyway to remove this partition and add it to the main one _after_ Windows 7 has already been installed?

*Bump*

None of the sticks are soldered. I just installed 2x2GB sticks. Alas it only recognizes 3, but it does contain 4. Didn't have it in the post originally.. updated now.

*Bump*

$500? Lowest I'm going.

*Bump* $600..?

*Bump* $700?

I am offering for sale an Asus laptop in good condition (there are some scratches on the cover, but hardly noticeable). It was bought in June 2007 for school, so it's just over two years old now, but it was top of the line at the time, and it has been upgraded significantly over the last year or...

"Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller" and it will not let me update.

Hmm, well the "Intel Storage Matrix" drivers (I'm assuming these are what you mean) won't install without AHCI enabled. I'm thinking maybe there's a problem with my BIOS?

I may have just figured it out. HDTune says that the drive is running in "UDMA Mode 6 (Ultra ATA/133)". I'm thinking it's running in some sort of compatibility mode such as what you mentioned! Only problem is that I don't see any of those options in my BIOS. Hmm. Oh and I'm running Vista BTW -...

Maybe not actually? I did install the Intel chipset drivers if that's what you mean, but since AHCI won't work I can't load those ones. I will now.

Pretty much, although the actual read speed is 65 or so (around half my burst speed) so it could be.. related. Seems odd though, you'd think that flash memory (what I can only assume the cache is made of) would be pretty indestructible. Maybe I should try the drive in another computer and see...

*Bump* There's no AHCI option in the BIOS. I called tech support and they said they had the same laptop there with an AHCI option. Could this be the culprit?

Sorry about that. It's an A8JS which has the Intel 945 mobile chipset. There was no jumper on the drive.

I recently purchased a 500GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue for my laptop and prompty benchmarked it with HDTach. Almost everything is in line with the reviews except for burst speed which is only an appalling 122MB/sec whereas they were able to get nearly double this . Does anyone have any idea...

Thank you so much for the reply! I will try booting into Ubuntu to see if that can delete it. Coolio.

So I have two (minor) problems with my computer; however, the fact that I'm failing to fix them is driving me crazy! Running Vista 64 Home Premium. I've tried Google of course. Problem the first: I have a folder called "system volume information" on my external drive that WILL NOT DELETE...

Would anyone be willing to sell me some spare DDR1 for cheap? I'm trying to breathe some new life into my brother's rather old machine. Doesn't really matter what speed it is as the machine is an old P4-based Celeron, which runs XP decently fine but... well, 256mb of ram is not enough for...

Cool. I'm assuming that's because it's slower and cooler? What about a drive for the internal?

Was thinking one internal drive for a friend, and an external drive for myself (to put into my enclosure), as well as the Scorpio for my laptop. I'm just worried since the Seagate Momentus I bought for my laptop last year is slow as balls seek-time-wise. What would you choose between...

Arg, which hard drive do I buy? I've decided on the Western Digital 500GB Scorpio Blue for my laptop after seeing ncix's sale on them (I'm in Canada.. and it's $99), as well as techreport's roundup, but what about an external? I was looking at the 1.5TB Seagate 7200.11's, but after that firmware...

Bump and lowered prices to $55.

1x Seagate Momentus 5400.5 320GB 2.5IN SATA 3GB/S 5400RPM 8MB Cache Hard Drive Was only bought last August and came with a five year warranty so this is good for another four years plus! Used in my Asus laptop. $55 (Shipped as well depending on the price) OBO 1x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10...

Hi, I'm using Vista64 (host) with XP Pro (guest) running in Virtual PC 2007 and am trying to print something in the Virtual PC. Is this possible? The printer is connected by USB but XP doesn't seem to think it's there. Thanks.

*Bump* PS. It's a SATA drive!

*Bump* $30 now.

*Bump* $30 now.

Cool, so if I put in 4gb then it might see 3 of it at least? Or could it potentially see all four?

*bump*

My girlfriend's looking for a MacBook (anything with Intel..) for under $600 CAD. Could pick it up in St. John's, Halifax, or Vancouver if shipping is an issue... Is this a possible price? Scratches are not a big deal and I have old ram and a hard drive that should work. Any sellers...

Lame.

Does anyone know if this will work (with 64bit Vista of course)? I've done some Googling and found people saying both that it will and it won't. Only have 2x1GB right now.

It's a few years old now, but still works fine.No errors, etc. It's a Maxtor 250GB 7200RPM, 8MB Cache. Oh and it's PATA as well, not SATA. $40 $30 + Shipping OBO Heatware

Hey did you ever figure out what the problem was? I have the same issue with my new laptop drive, 24ms random access time when it should be more like 15. Everything else seems fine.

Came out of my Asus laptop. It's a Seagate 5400RPM, 8MB Cache, SATA. Drive works fine. I'm only selling it because I've purchased a bigger one so I really have no need for it anymore. $40 $30 + Shipping OBO Heatware

Apple will just continue to lie like they always do.

Link? I was looking for such a "wireless bridge" the other day and found none. Maybe I'm just an idiot though.

Er, are you sure about that?
