    Problem with secondary hard drive, private files

    I just got a guy to put together my new computer parts and now I have two hard drives, my new SATA2 drive and an old 80 gig IDE drive. I want access the files on my old drive, but unfortunately the files are set to private in Windows XP and I have no clue how to change this. I tried to change it...

    Computer turns on, won't POST

    Well I just got a call and it is running now. The problem was with the motherboard; apparently some of the pins in the CPU socket were bent and they had to be straightened out. I'm not sure if it was from him being careless or from the shipping or what, but I'm just glad I don't have to RMA it. :)

    When you say it should come on eventually, does that mean after maybe five tries, or a lot more? He did try it several times but maybe it required more? I'm just hoping for the best.

    Computer turns on, won't POST

    I ordered some new components for a computer and took them to my tech. These parts include an E6420, Gigabyte GAP65-DS3, Radeon X1950 Pro, 2 GBs of PC6400, 320 GB SATA Seagate and a 450w FSP power supply. My RAM had to be shipped separately so I dropped off the other parts so he could throw them...

    Overclocking 101 for the Gigabyte DS3

    I have some parts on the way for a new computer including an E6420 and the DS3 and I have no experience overclocking so this is perfect for me. I only plan on doing a mild overclock (stock cooling), but I have a question about RAM. I ordered two gigs of Patriot Signature RAM that is 5-5-5-15...

    Alright, I think I will go with the E6420 then as it still comes in just slightly under budget. I think it's about time to order. Thanks a lot! :lol:

    I found this RAM but I don't know how good of a brand Patriot is as I've never heard of them. Good deal? Also, thanks a lot! You have been extremely helpful!

    Building a new computer

    The only reason I'm thinking of the E6420 is I read an article that says the 4MB cache can give a fairly large performance increase in certain instances and since I probably won't be upgrading again for a while that it is the better choice. I'm not sure how true that is but since I won't be...

    Building a new computer

    Alright, I'm home now and I think I am going to go with the 6420. I also saw that OCZ RAM with the same specs aside from slightly higher CL values is somewhat cheaper; would I be better to get this or go with the Corsair? Lastly, I still can't really decide on the video card. The ATI 1950 Pro is...

    Oops, I guess that was kind of confusing. I meant on the new system I'm building now, not on my old computer.
