Thanks for reply TheCloak. Actually I did do as you suggested about googling and searching forums. I donated my old dvd rom to my son-in-law and purchased the new drive. After installation the same problem popped up immediately and that is when I decided to post. Wasn't really looking for a...

Hope this is the right spot if not please redirect me to the correct forum. :) I just recently began having trouble with my sony dru830a dvd drive (or winxp has). I use Acronis for my backups and a couple days ago tried to use it to backup and Acronis kept wanting a disc (which I put in)...

Thanks for the info firewolfrl. I'll keep the link marked for future reference. Sooner or later I will probably try this out. Like you I just can't help tinkering just to see if I can squeeze a bit more outta this 'puter. I should have read the RMA page a bit closer when I returned the bad...

Thanks for the replies guys. Reckon I'll leave it alone and not tinker with this one since my system is running ok. If it ain't broke don't fix it surely applies in this case :)

I have a SATA drive connected as my main drive and just replaced a second drive I had that was under warranty.((Seagate was nice enough to replace the 160gb IDE I sent in with a 250gb IDE replacement)) Other than the smaller cable, are there any reason's I might want to use one of those IDE to...

I recently replaced a soltek mb with an asus and replaced and ide hdd(diamond max) with a segate sata one. I used my ghost backup to put things back on the new drive and when I booted up I had the win cd in and did a repair install of windows xp pro ( I knew all the drivers etc would need to be...

Believe me linney that is the first thing i did when it appeared that everything was apparently working normally. I try to keep my backups current. Incrementals at least once a week and a new full backup about every month or so. Now if I could just train myself to leave well enough alone and...

It seems as if my problem has gone away. For how long I have no idea as these kind of things like to haunt me for a while. Basically the only thing I did was to put the WMI Performance Adapter into manual mode from disabled. There are 3 WMI items in services: WMI (windows management...

Thanks for the response all. SirBlack—Process explorer shows all expected activities with nothing unusual mentioned. I am using Blink from EEYE along with Windows Defender and AdAware. All are up to date. No conflicts noted anywhere that I have checked. And I don't mind the questions as they...

Hi All Sorry if this gets a bit long winded in explanation of my problem. System is Asus A8N-SLI (basic) MB, Athlon64 X2 4400, 2 gigs ram, ATI Radeon x1800. System is up to date as are all drivers. I recently upgraded the bios to the latest from Asus and a couple of weeks later I upgraded my...

Thanks guys for the response. Seems like I have some researching/reading to do before jumping into this as I am not that familiar with raid. My main worry was being able to restore my system to its present state from a good backup and not start over with reinstalling everything.

Hello All At present I have a single sata 160g HDD system with 5 partitions and would like to get another HDD and set up Raid 0. My question is, can I do this and use my complete system backup disc, made with Acronis 10, to put on the Raid 0 array. I have an Asus A8N-SLI (basic)NForce4 MB...
