    abit kg7 raid using 4 ide,s ??help

    Thanks, frag. You learn something new every day. I'll have to study up on the Abit RAID setup. For what it's worth, I have a Plextor 16x10x40a, on a non-RAID IDE bus and it won't run in DMA mode, either. DosMaster "To err is human, to really foul things up, it takes a computer.&quot...

    Home Networking Win98 to XP Home Edition

    First, turn off that nasty “simplified file sharing – (NOT) recommended’ on your XP box, it’s half the problem. This will allow 2K-like file sharing – much more secure. You’ll find that setting in Windows Explorer tools menu > folder options > view tab. It’s the last one on the list. Now, on...

    Can anyone answer a Windows XP networking question?

    I’ve not used home version, but for any of the dozen XP Pro systems I’ve worked on, other systems won’t even see the XP box unless they have a logon on that machine. Try it on one of your 2K boxes. Add the primary user of the XP system to the 2K users list, and vice-versa. You really should...

    I've not used a RAID motherboard, but I do know that the second pair of IDE slots do not function like 'normal' slots, as they are for the RAID functions. Check this link out for more on RAID: http://peripherals.about.com/library/weekly/aa082300a.htm For now, put the hard drives on the primary...

    computer hangs every reboot

    If it weren't for the issue occurring when exiting BIOS I'd say it was an APM issue. However, this sounds more like a hardware conflict somewhere, otherwise it wouldn't happen when exiting the BIOS. The fact that it does not occur on a cold boot, yet will happen in any OS further points to a...

    Need help with old NIC settings on XP

    Well, I hope you haven't given up yet. You didn't specify which version of XP, but this should work on both. First, right-click on the 'My Computer' icon (if you don't have your icons turned on, go Start > Control Panel > System), and select properties. On the System applet that opens, select...

    recovering a hard drive

    If you used FAT32, you might try Spin-Rite by Steve Gibson; it's rated quite highly. While you're there, you may wish to expand your knowledge of your computer and the Internet by reading his articles on (home) computer protection while online. http://www.grc.com/ If you used NTFS, you're...
