mm. possible. its soldered

Probably.. But the question of why it doesn't work still reminds.. I prefer to investigate and see about solving problems then just stick my head in the sand and hope it goes away.

well, It's not that long and I've tried it on it's own and doesn't recognise it nor not recognise it.. though I'll double check it. i've tried a couple of other ports but they might be on the same connector, so i'll have to try another one. might be degrading signal but it's.. just over a foot...

Hi.. bit of an odd one but... I have an old XP machine I used for some stuff when XP is a good option. However, I'm currently having trouble with a USB extension cable. When i plug it in with a load (in this case, an external mni-Sata to USB converter with way too short a cable) it just comes up...

Okay, i'm an idiot ^_^ not uncommon really.. I thought, Bios detects it all right, a low level checker says it's fine, but it isn't detected as bootable? why? I doubled checked it with another machine and it worked fine, so that ruled out the harddrive. So it had to be something up with the...

It doesn't detect the spare one anymore then the original one.. so it's pretty much as I expected in the way of bung the drive into another machine or external cables when I get hold of them.. thanks ^_^

Got a Computer which runs win7, Sata HDD. When trying to boot, it claims there is no harddrive present. When I check Bios, and swap between two harddrives (the current one and a blank spare) it can correctly detect the serial and size. When using Hiram's BD tools, I think Harddrive Sentinel...

Erm.. okay.. this is now very confusing.. I checked the voltage level, it was set to auto running a BIT lower then the ram states (it was running 1.84v when ram says 1.2v). boosting that up doesn't seam to have had any effect but I see a problem.. and I've tested it and It.. it seams to fix it...

I was wondering about that but been swamped with stuff to do ^_^ and annoying again, can't work on it till next week but I have time on Monday without a doubt. So i'll get Back to you ^_^ (yeah.. taking a long time.. annoying)

Okay.. I haven't tried it with the original ram again but... seams to work.. that is, I can turn it on, it beeps for faulty ram, turn it off.. wait a couple of seconds, turn it on again and it's fine. i'm not 100% happy with that... but i'm not quite sure what is up either.. but seams to be...

I will, thanks, you are a great guy ^_^

okay thanks.. that should turn up Tuesday so i'll find out Wednesday.

Ah.. didn't notice that it was ECC ram.. So any of them should be fine? Its not on that list but Crucial CT8G4DFD824A fine do you think? Crucial claim it's non-ECC
