    Reassigment of drive letters

    Contacted Vadim Burtyansky through his program, but in his reply he suggested, that Windows XP doesn't need his solution, My Computer-->Manage-->Disc Management would do the job. But...XP does not allow the change of the system disc. Period... Apparently the references are the problems. So any...

    Reassigment of drive letters

    I wonder if there is a Windows XP (Home) supported version of this apparently great program.

    Connecting Roland keyboard controller

    Thanks fellows; Problem is solved. I had some incompatibilities between my old Roland and the new audio card. Used an other driver.

    Connecting Roland keyboard controller

    I downloaded Sonar trial and still could not get any sound. Since this controller wasn't used for years, is there any way to check if it is defective? I located the IN connector on the Soundblaster Live! game port, so I feel confident that the hardware connection is correct. Since there was no...

    Need another PCI slot?

    Thanks fellows. Installed ServicePack 1 and Maxtor excepted it and I was able to install the full 160 GB with it's Maxblast so I didn't need the Maxtor's 133ATA card. So the problem is solved and thank you again.

    kiddpete: I did, this was the first thing I checked.

    Need another PCI slot?

    Thanks for such a prompt reply fellows; The issue here is not speed but the 160 GB. The Dell's mobo based IDE supports only 133 GB (is it Windows XP limit?) so I could not use the Maxtor to it's full capacity. Another question: Could I possibly replace the soundcard with a quality AGP slot...

    Connecting Roland keyboard controller

    Thanks CDLVJ for reply Soundblaster SB live! has a Midi port with the 16 pin connector split into two 5 pin round connectors but i don't know which is in or out they are not marked. Tried both they don't seemto be active. I can play MIDI files well, I have an old Turtle Beach Sequencer, I like...

    Need another PCI slot?

    To install a 160 GB Maxtor HD I need to install its ATA/133 PCI card. But my only PCI slot is used by the Soundblaster Live! soundcard. Any advise? Dell Dimension 8200 1.7 Ghz 256 RAM Windows XP Home.

    Connecting Roland keyboard controller

    I got a Roland PC-200 MK II MIDI keyboard controller. The out plug (5 pin round) connects to the Joystick/MIDI connector on the Soundblaster Live! I still can not get a sound. The Roland manual doesn't say a word how to operate it with the PC to create sound. Any advise? Thanks. Note: If this is...

    Reassigment of drive letters

    Thanks fellows. bcastner's referenhce to the article gave me all the info, but it quotes: "many MS_DOS based and Windows based programs make references to a specific drive letter, if modified, these programs may not function properly" This was what I was afraid of since I am using...

    Reassigment of drive letters

    I have 2 HHD-s, a 30 GB and an 80 GB as well as a CD-ROM and DVD burner. They were originally set up with a very awkward drive lettering (don't ask me why and how - I don't know) a: floppy 3 1/2" c: 30 GB HD used as a slave for data only (video clips) Mod # ST330630A, NTFS single...

    Difference between DMA 100 and 133 hard drives

    Loosing data with RAID 0 striped for video editing is not a big issue, since I can always recapture them - either from the VHS tapes or the camcorder tapes. Broadcast is not my bag. I decided to get the Maxtor 160 GB drive since it provides also the card, but I don't think it supports RAID so...

    Difference between DMA 100 and 133 hard drives

    Thank you fellows. Goldenchild: I do use now two HDDs, the first of 80 GB has ALL my programs, OS etc and the second: 30 GB is dedicated to the videoclips only. This is the one I would like to replace with a 160 GB new drive ( AVI files take a tremendous space - over a GB/min.) I found the best...

    Difference between DMA 100 and 133 hard drives

    Goldenchild, your info was greatly appreciated. I was actually eyeing the Maxtor 160 GB 7200 drive with 8 MB cache you recommend at Costco for $ 129 and the box claims that it includes a PCI card for the drive. Apparently it is to overcome the 137 GB limitation. This also answers my previous...

    Difference between DMA 100 and 133 hard drives

    Thanks fellows; It seems I will just stick with my DMA 100, but might replace my 30 GB drive with a larger one. So I can simply swap the drives. Am I right?

    Difference between DMA 100 and 133 hard drives

    What is the difference between an Ultra DMA 100 and 133 hard drive? Speed? If so, how much? Can I replace a DMA 100 hard drive with a DMA 133 or do I have to replace the IDE controller card too? If so, how cost effective is the change? (I am working with large video files where...

    I have and use 2 printers, HP Laserjet 4L (parallel port) for b/w and Canon for color (USB). Turning Canon on and starting Canon Status Monitor it goes properly into Idle. But I can not print with Canon. Windows XP Home: Control Panel - Printers (right click), Canon Printer is offline. Use...
