I've just noticed. My laptop from Cyberpowerpc has no issue detecting the optical drive when there's a Windows install DVD in it. But when I put in the Windows repair boot CD, the drive doesn't even show up on the boot menu for some reason. Is this something that's starting to happen, that...

I'm looking to buy a new laptop with some decent hardware, but apparently many, it seems, refuses to allow us to disable the integrated graphics so that we can rely entirely upon our graphics card. I am sick and tired of this run-around game laptop manufacturer's like to play where they tell me...

There was a day, primarily in the build-it-yourself era, and the choose-your-components era of Dell and a few others where one could buy a standard laptop at a feasible price and still get the benefit of having a separate graphics card with it's own dedicated GPU and RAM. Today, outside of...

Thanks, but I found the solution here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/repair-master-boot-record-mbr-windows It was a simple fix using the bootrec command. I realize that you probably assumed that I had already tried that, but you must'nt assume such things. I figured it must have been the MBR...

Which is better? I want to do a RAID 10 configuration with x4 6Gb/s sata, however, I cannot find a motherboard that has x4 6Gb/s sata that are good for RAID. I found a couple that have x2 that are for RAID, and then another x4 from some other company that are not designed with the bandwidth...

Ksiemb, yeah, I'm sure most people check that site before coming here, and it doesn't work because they insist that their drivers come with windows already. I won't be buying Iomega anymore.

I made a mistake and targeted price, capacity, and speed, and completely forgot to look at whether it should be DIMM or something else. Anyhow, if I got UDIMM, assuming the work just fine, I'll have to review the specs of my motherboard, but assuming they work, is it really going to matter...

What are some highly rated biocides and corrosion inhibitors? I want inhibitors that would both protect against galvanic and normal oxidative corrosion. I'm of course looking for fungicides, bactericides, and algicides, or even 3-in-one biocides would be nice. Something as effective as...
