    hard drive not recognize in bios

    Ok...got it up and installed..know what I did? I unplugged the old drive. BIOS found the new drive, and install completed. Doesn't that beat all? Anyways, thanks for the help.

    hard drive not recognize in bios

    Using 40 pin IDE cable. Mobo supports up to ATA66. Drive is compatible with that mode per WD specs.

    hard drive not recognize in bios

    Well, I manually entered the cylinders, heads, sectors, etc. with exactly the same results. WinXP puts the install files on the drive, then says it has to reboot to continue installation, reboots and reverts to the agreement screen...a vicious cycle.

    hard drive not recognize in bios

    Yep, it's a problem as the install ain't happening. XP finds it fine and puts the install files on it, then upon mandatory rebooting to continue installation, it cycles wanting to choose partition, put files on, etc. all over again. It simply won't finish installation. I don't mind the BIOS not...

    hard drive not recognize in bios

    Same problem here...cables ok, jumpers checked (tried both Master/Slave and cable select). The new drive is the master. Win XP sees the drive but BIOS won't...BIOS is latest version (recognizes up to 137G) and the drive is 120G WD1200BB. Help appreciated.

    replacing system file in Win XP Pro

    Win XP won't allow copying or replacing system files, so I can't replace it at all...not even in safe mode and using inuse.exe. MS acknowledges the problem of IE 6.0 and says in the next release it will be fixed. They sure are taking their sweet time. I downloaded the 6.0.2813 beta version of...

    ZoneAlarm and SpeedStream 3060 internal DSL modem

    Hopefully, I can track someone down who can help me on this. Disconnecting with the above modem and reconnecting is a no go when using ZoneAlarm. Also, on shutting down, to get things to shut down you have to disconnect and then shut down ZoneAlarm. I can use Windows XP's firewall only with...

    replacing system file in Win XP Pro

    Frank ... I have IE 6.0.2600 and have been checking for an upgrade, but when I last looked a few days ago, I didn't find any updates. Can you give me the web address where I can get 6.0.2813? Maybe that upgrade will finally solve my problem.

    Saving Pictures from the Internet

    In saving pictures, it also depends upon the site you visit as to what type of images are there. Some sites also have protection where you don't have the right click option to save. For these protected images there is a way to get around the protection and save them and it involves using two...

    replacing system file in Win XP Pro

    Frank... obviously you haven't read the thread dealing with IE6.0 not being able to open another window. Of course Win XP will work with an earlier version of OLEAUT32.dll. As for upgrading IE, what do I upgrade to? I stated I am using IE6.0... if there's a new version that's news to me...

    Copy a WD hard drive in XP

    This sounds stupid but it worked for me (as I don't have Norton Ghost). I had a 10 gig slave that I recently updated to 60 gig. Like you, I didn't know how to go about copying the thing but found a way. Make sure you have the option turned on to view all files, hidden and system. Then copy...

    Windows XP won't shut down properly

    I've been having problems shutting down myself due to some sort of conflict between my SpeedStream 3060 PCI internal DSL modem and ZoneAlarm. If using only Win XP's firewall, there's no problem, but instead of using that firewall and using ZoneAlarm therein lies the problem. On shutting down, my...

    replacing system file in Win XP Pro

    I need to replace Win XP's version of OLEAUT32.dll with the earlier version to correct an IE 6.0 script / new window error. The problem is that Win XP doesn't allow me to replace it and since my hard drive is NTFS and the command window won't let me replace it, I am at a loss as to how to go...
