• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

put a new hard drive in my computer tonight, put the xp cd in....hooked it all up. my computer is running extremly slow. am i suppose to do something in the bios for it to run better? its really noisy too.... granted its a bigger HD, but i didnt think it would be that loud. its a WD800JBRTL
 
It's probably in PIO instead of DMA. To fix it:

1. Device Manager
2. Right click the drive
3. Go to uninstall
4. Reboot Windows

After you reboot, Windows shall install the drive in DMA Mode. To check if it is in DMA or PIO in Device Manager right click then Properties. Go to Advanced Settings and in there it will show you.
