    2 identical OS on same machine.

    I now have two 64 bit Windows 7 running on different HDD. Both were loaded from the same DVD, used the same reg key and were activated automatically. A third windows 7 (32bit) is running on a third HDD. That's as far as I have got. But I intend to put XP on a forth HDD on the same machine. The...

    2 identical OS on same machine.

    I have a disc caddy on my new machine, which takes 4 HDD. My plan is to have 4 bootable HDD each with a different OS installed. (well 3 OS actually) Each disc will cover a different aspect of the work I do. Except one which will only be for games. My problem is: can I install the same OS (from...

    Problems setting up RAID

    The RAID screen that comes up just after rebooting does not provide the facility to format the array only to say you want a RAID and to select to boot from that array. I'm at a loss.

    Problems setting up RAID

    I've done all that. The only problem is that when I get to the bit where you format the array (remember the CMos says its an array) XP sees it as two seperate drives. You say 'then activate the drives'. What does that mean and how do you do it? Sorry to be a bit thick but its my first RAID.

    Problems setting up RAID

    No, I have 2x 150Gb (just out) Raptors which I am trying to set up in RAID 0(performance-no fault tolerance). The Bios says they are one drive, XP says they are 2. The RAID driver came with the MOBO (Abit) and loads when I press F6. XP asks for it when I press F6.

    Problems setting up RAID

    I've set up a RAID in the BIOS using two identical SATA drives. Ive pressed F6 and loaded the driver fron floppy. When windows setup gets to the partitioning and formatting bit it sees my drives as two seperate drives and asks me which one I want to install XP on. Shouldn't these two drives be...

    my pentium 4 is not recognizing the external dvd burner

    Just a thought. I have had some problems with external hard drives being recognized on some USB2 ports. I've found that they work if connected to A USB port that is mounted on the motherboard but not on one of the remote ports on the front of machines. I think its something to do with the...

    Boots without pressing Power ON

    I've got the same problem on two machines. They boot as soon as you switch on the PSU switch. (ie without pressing the power on button) Neither of the power on buttons are shorted out and neither are the MOBO pins so its not that. I've tried different PSUs and its exactly the same. Am I...

    SLI Issue

    My new MoBo is a Nvidia 4 chipset with SLI. I initially only want to use one graphics card. Which slot does it go in - the X1 or the x16. The manual is not clear about this. The graphics card is a Geforce 6600GT.

    Network problem. Can't see the Network.

    I've just checked through the 4 HDDs on the office machine and there is no NETGEAR SW anywhere so I'm not sure whether I loaded it on this machine which I only built recently. I must have loaded it on my old machine and thought it was this one. I'm getting too old for this - I think.

    Network problem. Can't see the Network.

    Cheers rvnguy. ipconfig is as you say. Not sure what you mean about internal network. Also can't see how to change config on the WAP. Workgroup names are identical and 'wins' is enabled. I'm sure I loaded some software for the WAP but can't find it.

    XP can't see IDE RAID array

    Brilliant! My mistake was in thinking that because the drives had been formatted seperately (NTFS) then the array would not need formatting but of course it does. Great stuff. I'll never stop learning from this site. Thanks all.

    XP can't see IDE RAID array

    Hello Freestone, I ran diskmgr - the array shows up there but it's in black and it says it's 'UNALLOCATED'. Not sure what that means. Can anyone help?
