Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage,microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?) I have a MAXTOR 6L080J4 Drive that I accidentally bound as a slave to a cable that was supposed to be used in a RAID configuration only. I only have data on this HDD. I was in a rush trying...

I was taking the dust off my fans and when I was done I was putting the side of the tower back on and a screw fell into the opening of the hard drive. when it fell I saw a spark but the hard drive led was still on but I turned off the main power supply to avoid further damage. I shook the tower...

So I went and bought a Seagate 120 GB Barracuda Serial ATA hard drive and now I can't seem to figure out how to hook the silly thing up to the power supply. I saw that Harddrive.com has a 15 pin (male) to 4 pin (male) converter but then how am I supposed to hook up the 4 pin male to the power...

Hello, After reading an article in Tom's Hardware page about software RAIDs in Windows 2000/XP, I decided to give it a shot and set up 2 old 40GB hard drives in a Windows XP RAID 0 array. One disk is a Samsung and the other a Maxtor. I set up the array without any problems, and performance is...

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?) I recently had a small virus that my virus protector trapped and quarantined and erased. Before it did, I had downloaded some programs on a CD-RW and I scanned it shortly after, and the virus showed up on the CD. I have...

First of all let me say sorry if this doesn't belong here. Since I am mostly concerned with re-setting up my OS to the way I like it, I thought I would post my inquiry here. In a few days I will be upgrading from my AMD 965 Black and Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 to an Intel i5 2500k and GIGABYTE...

So i know a few things abut server setups but not that much. Talking about server 2003. Before i assumed that you would connect the router and server and clients to direct to the switch. And as for dhcp in this setup i think i assumed that you would set the server to supply all dhcp to the...

Hello, I have two gtx460s (each with 2 DVI and 1 mHDMI) set in SLI. I'm trying to setup two displays using both the HDMI ports. When i plug them in I can get extended view, but I need to get duplicate view. When I try to switch in display setting I get "unable to save display settings"...

Hey, I want to Overclock my GPU (GT 650M) so it has similar performance as the GTX 660M or something around it performance. I'm using MSI Afterburner to overclock but i don't know what to overclock (everything is at +0) Should I increase the Core Clock (MHz) or the Memory Clock (MHz)???

So, I have a choice. Not sure which Anti Virus I should choose. Microsoft Security Essentials? or Norton 360 I know Norton 360 is pretty expensive, but we already have a 2 year license, though 3 computers are already used, it still won't be too much to add on one more pc. I also noticed...

I was thinking about upgrading my CPU to get higher fps in Battlefield 4. I had a friend who told me it would not help but I don't know if that is true. I am currently running a AMD fx 6100 6 core 3.3 gh/z. I am wondering if it is worth upgrading to the AMD fx 8350 eight core 4.2 gh/z. So...

my game run jerky and very very slow, what can I do to fix this??? :hello:

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?) I ran a question yesterday about "Do I need Norton?". The overwhelming response was NO! In regard to anti virus and fire wall the most suggested was ZoneAlarm. I suppose that like any other product out there complaints...

I am looking to buy my pc upgrade tomorrow and was hoping for some thoughts and advice. I'm a pretty casual gamer (two babies under one and a seven year old teenager!) I like to play mmo's and fps online. my budget limits me to an AMD setup although I think if I stretch to 8 core it could...

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?) I've created some ADM templates for my Group Policies and there's still a couple of things we do with REG files run by the logon script, like adding keys and deleting some that are created back at logon. Is there a way to...

Hello, Despite numerous phone calls and failed temporary pin, I cannot log on to my email. joan

On several of our computers at work, Toms site does not seem to be displayed correct. It's mostly text and the layout is just spread all over the pages. It looks like a word doc convert to all text. Is there some setting we need to change to get the formatting back?
