strider_D_3000

indeed windows 2000 is great but im leaning twards 2003 just a tad bit because it seem more stable the only flaw i seen so far is the frekin 10 min startup that i have to go through but other that that i think 2003 is great next to 2000 lol

Is there a site where i can download a trial version of win2k3, microsoft.com page is broken or something? i think my wack out version of win2k3 make me boot the computer in 10-15 mins. it getting anoying i have to turn it on and then wait for like 10-15 mins it is always stuck on the desktop but i cant see my toolbar or system tray untill 10 mins. when 10 mins is up it usually pop up like it was booted normally/

turns out that it is corupt dang i shoulda scan disk but its too late i have to format the 2nd drive crap...

it works now but.. really sad that i lost some important files..

my mobo prob gonna be MSI K7N2G in motherboard.com they say Ram RAM Type: DDR SDRAM Maximum Supported RAM: 3 GB i know im suppose to get DDR SDRAM but what about the pcxxx and other numbers?

DDR266/333/400 with external add-on card 226/333/400 is that the mh>? im sry cuse im a noob

the mobo gonna be MSI K7N2G,epox ep-8rda or what ever i can find at the local computer shop proc gonna be althon xp 2100 i already have video card and sound cards i just want a new board but else i need?

right?

lets just say that the mobo says it only support ddr sdram pc2000 or something like that and it support up to 3gh or something do i get ddr sdram pc2000 and like 100mh for cheap ness?

ok i got the mother board part but what bout ram i still dont get it, if a mobo says it will support DDR SDRAM do i only get DDR SDRAM? or is there some thing more to it/ like a limit to how much ram i shoud buy and stuff because i dont think i can afford the 500+ram cards after i buy a new althon proc and a mobo that supports it ill prob buy the lesser kinds that cost around 20-30 dollars. ---->newbie<------

i am about to upgrade my old g mobo for a new one my question is :Do i buy a mobo, a procsessor that mobo support and 1 ram card and maybe a fan is that all i need to upgrade my old mobo? And how do i know what ram card to buy for the mobo?ie. if they ask for sdram or dimm do i use only sdram or dimms or is there something more??

i do not think my HD is toast out. My original question is that when i use my third drive which has win2k3 on it, it does not detect my storage drive aka secondary drive, but when i use my main drive which has win2k on it. it detected the storage drive. on another note when i use hardware manager on win2k3 it detects it but it doesn't show up on "my computer" and cannot be accessed by DOS.

the one with 2k3 is 6gig my main hd is 20 gig and the 2ndary is like 10 gig

lets just say that the bios dont reconise the drive what should i do because my 1st hard drive with windows 2k on it shows my 2ndary drive by the 3rd drive with win2k3 do not show my 2ndary drive

anybody?

dang now win2k3 dont detect my secondary hard drive can anyone help me with this problem i check the hardware manager and it didnt have any conflicts and i check the cables and stuff too and they are all tighten what is wrong with this picture?

dang 30 mins this time lol

naw im not gonna say that because i know its crack or what ever i got it from the net im just too poor to buy a software that cost more than my whole computer

no dice i really think the hd is corupt that or my com really sux can anyone give me a os boot disk so i can run ms-dos with out using my main hard drive

man it still stalls for 10mins be4 i can see the task bar and the icons gerrr could it be that my secondary hard drive is corupt??? plez i need some help if it is my hd is there ne utill to check for errors and fix them? my computer specs: intell pentium 2 yeah u herd me 2 and its wierd its big like 3inches by 4 and a half Oo geforce 4 mx 420 sbc dsl 3 ram booster card {cheap kind} 20 gig maxsor and the one with 2003 on it is a western digital 6gig i got a total of 294,436 ram so says the mycomputer/propertys
