Thanks. By the way of this post, I'd like my current account closed. Thank you

Hello, I'd like to change my user name to "Doctor K" Thank you!

Thanks for the replies. I'm liking the P180 but also the Lian Li A71. Both have significant size differences. Not sure which way to go yet.

Sorry for the long title. I'm looking for a really clean looking case as opposed to a "gaming" case that has all these flashing lights everywhere. But most importantly, I want a case that is easy to work with. I would consider myself sub-par in the cable management department and want a case...

Hey guys, I figured out what the problem is. I've actually run into this before. It's an issue with my mobo and ASUS mobos have had similar issues. When you have 4gb of ram, sometimes you need to remove 2gb to avoid the BSOD. This is exactly what I did and it worked. Here's a link...

I tried the quick write and it still didn't install. I did a full-write and I will try it later. Unfortunately, BartPE didn't solve my problem either.

Quick question, will the current BartPE work with Vista? I see no reference to Vista on the BartPE website.

Nice, thanks, I'll give it a go.

I'm having a lot of trouble installing Vista 64 Ultimate on this hard drive in single drive mode. See my signature for specs. I read here that I need to get rid of the two unallocated partitions but I have not had success in doing so with KillDisk in DOS mode AND Windows mode. I keep...

After I scan and detect my deleted partitions with Active Partition Recovery, my main partition becomes unknown and unviewable after I create a MBR. Therefore, I am unable to boot up my OS. I've tried to work around this per the instructions, but nothing it working. It keeps giving me the...

Thanks. If it doesn't, then I'll get the Windows version and ask them to credit me back for the DOS version. I appreciate your help. My boss won't fire me after all! LOL

Nevermind, I did buy the commercial version...duh. But in DOS.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot! Shoot, I just bought the regular DOS version. What is in the commercial version that I need?

Will I need to connect the hard drive to another machine as a secondary drive or can I run the software on the laptop? As it stands, the laptop won't boot up...it says "No Operating System Found"

Hi, I have a Sony Vaio laptop that I was going to format and install XP Pro onto. In Windows Setup, I came to the delete partition screen and I deleted a partition (there were three). As I did that, I realized I needed to save some files from the hard drive (doh!). I know there are DOS...

Sorry for not digging deeper through the forum before posting. But yeah, this should be a sticky. It's an easy as hell fix to this problem. One thing to note, I had to take out 2gb's again when Vista was doing its Windows Update the first time around. When it rebooted, I got the BSOD.

Removing the RAM worked. To clarify, I needed to remove 2gb's of RAM (for a total of 2gb) and then after installation, I just stuck the sticks back in (while powered down).

I was just reading this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1293753&page=2 See Xyrax's post (and my reply). I just removed two sticks and will attempt to reinstall Vista 64 again. I'll let you know very shortly.

I think you're onto it. I just posted a thread about getting BSOD after formatting and reinstalling Vista 64 onto my 4gb RAM system. I remember the first time I installed 64-bit I only had 2gb of RAM. I'm going to pull 2gb's out and see how it goes. Will report back.

This is killing me. My rig (see sig) has had Vista 64-bit installed on it for over a year. I decided to format my hard drive and re-install the OS since I was getting some slow down here and there. So, I plop in my disc and go through the process...format drive, install...it reboots a few...

No, but you just helped me out big time!!! ;)

It can see it in device manager and BIOS but it is inaccessible. In other words, if I click on Computer, I can only see my primary hard drive and my external hard drive. I have come across threads on the web with the same issue but there seems to be no solution.

It also looks like I ALMOST have the same PC setup as you too. Weird. :p

Having same exact issue. It's funny that I have the same hard drive's as you, dMb. I actually have two 74GB Raptors that I intended on setting up a RAID 0 array but I think I killed one of them because BIOS won't recognize nor does device manager. However, device manager recognizes my...

I'm having a similar issue. I had intended on setting up two WD Raptors in RAID 0 on Vista 64. I was going to format one of the drives because it had XP installed on it. I set up my RAID array in BIOS and then when startup was detecting the array, it showed an error. I went into the create a...

BUMPY FOR GOOD POSTY.

So far, so good for me too. Vista runs my setup in sig while XP crashed every 3 mins.

Okay, I just realized that the fan on the videocard isn't even running! WTF! It's plugged into the board and everything but it doesn't move. Uhhhh....

I hate my life. My $4000 computer can't even run for 5 mins.

So the consensus seems like the factory puts too much thermal paste on these units?

My 8800GTX idles at 78 C. Is that normal?

I'll dabble with it when I'm home later. Thanks for the replies.

Yes, I did create the RAID array. This motherboard sucks!

I installed the RAID drivers with a floppy and it still doesn't work. I get the same BSOD. Anyone with this board have this issue? :confused:

*** STOP; 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000) BIOS recognizes the hard drives. If I disable RAID, I can run XP setup, but when I put it back to RAID, I get the BSOD. I have updated the BIOS. I do not think I have updated the RAID drivers because I don't have a...

I hooked up an old IDE optical drive as opposed to my SATA optical drive and now I can get through setup without the BSOD, but I am now getting a "windows setup cannot detect any hard disk drives...setup must now exit."

Anyone?

Here's an old setup of mine at work.
