Hi guys,
After countless problems with my computer in the past few weeks, I've finally made a bit of progress and just have a few 'niggles' to sort out before it's working correctly. I also apologise massively for creating the new thread, but it's quite a separate issue now to what I was experiencing before, so didn't want to the two things to become confused.
1) Since a format and XP re-install the front USB port don't seem to be working, this is odd as I've never had a problem in the past, and also when I did a similar re-install a few days ago they were working fine too, for some reason now the computer isn't picking them up, although the rear USB ports work just fine.
2) My ethernet card is showing up as being not installed in device manager and has a yellow exclaimation mark by it. The internet seems to work fine, I can download files at the usual speed and the network is fine too. Only problems I'm having is with uTorrent, which is definitely machine specific because I tried using the exact same setup on my parents PC and it was downloading at 100kb/s, on my computer it runs at not even 1kb/s and rarely connects to trackers razz It's a Marvell ethernet card, I've tried the drivers that came with the motherboard, I've tried the ones on the Asus site and I also tried the ones on the Marvell site too, it just won't install properly!
3) If you have some files on your C: drive, and you do a full NTFS format of that drive and re-install Windows; what are the chances that you can recover some of those files from the previous install? ;p I kinda lost my entire 'My Documents' plus a few other useful files, oops.
Thanks!
