i'm using 2 win2k and one winxp.

Okay, this might a little confusing, but I'll try to explain clearly as possible. I currently have 4 HDDs hooked up to a Promise TX2000 PCI IDE Raid controller. I have two arrays with 120GBs & 160GBs, both stripping (dual raid 0). My mobo is a MSI MS-6380 (AMD socket A) which includes a...

yeah, i would first make sure it's a bootable FDD first. if that doesn't work, does the FDD light comes on and stay on? if so, you have the FDD cable reversed. if not, try looking with a flashlight to make sure all the pins made it in the connector. and lastly, if that doesn't work, try...

i've encountered the exact problem few months back while building a system for my brother...at least i think it's the same. put in a data CD (any type, games, programs, but not music or video) and reboot. once booted, check if the XP sees the drive. actually, i still haven't found a fix for...

Have you added any new HW before this problem started?

NADIAZIPPER, If your having speed issues, I wouldn't goto an external drive. USB2.0 or Fireware is not going to solve the problem, actually, it'll make it worse. You wrote that you have two another 40GB HDDs, right? I recommend you buy a cheapo RAID card ($20~$40) and setup those two HDDs in...

thanks diogenes10. that article really helps. doing a quick calculation, i'm way short of power. also, i noticed that my PS unit only have six ide power cables, but adding 2 hdds will require seven cables. jhlee

i've had similar problems with my two IBM laptops. Both laptops experienced a similar failures and turned out to be the HDDs were bad in both cases. Talking to our IT guys, I guess this problems is not that unusal for IBM laptops. Only good news is that it's an easy fix, but expensive! Just...

hi all, I have the following setup and was wondering if my current power supply can handle adding more hardware and some overclocking. My current setup: MSI MS-6380 MOBO AMD ATHLON 1.3Ghz 512MB PC2100 2 IBM 60GXP HDD IN RAID 0 LITEON CD-RW LITEON DVD-ROM NEC DVD+R GEFORE2 GTS PCI USB 2.0...
