im not sure but is it possible to use a cd or a flash drive?

try it in another pc just to make sure, i know it worked ir old one but mbe something happened to it and do u have the latest driver for it?

well i just read through all of this and it took over an hour.... how stable is this? b/c apparently alot of programs are having problems. and what is the point of having this over an nlited xp? just to free up some ram?

also when i was trying to sell my laptop, vry similar to urs amd 1600 768 ram 40gig hdd cd-rw/dvd and i was geting a max of like 450$ and this was close to a year ago so its dropped even more

wow, yes you are! and i actually just checked into some dvd+-rw drives today for mine. what a f***ing coincidence! they will be from 90-105$ this is one of the best ive seen so far, dual layer too! http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetai...ductCode=172510

great...

put vlc media player up there! videolan is the company that makes it.

what do u mean by where is store my stuff? i have a few partitions on my hdd, one is called Data and thats where i keep backups,downloads,music,vids. its 23gigs out of my 38. i dont have any pics b/c i dont even take any and my digital camera is like 5 yrs old and can hold 8 pictures. my windows part is 7.33gigs and im only using 5.6 gigs of it and i have all of my apps installed on that part too. the rest of the space is for games. no need for ghost images b/c its not of any importance to me, if windows gives me the blue screen then ill almost always find a way to fix it and if the hdd crashes then im screwed. but i do backup my data every now and then, like any of it is rly important. what are the downsides of fat32 over ntfs? do u lose space, must go slower too?

is it possible to make the size of the boot screen larger than 640x960 ?? im asking b/c i want to use the vista boot screen and its white, but my screen is 1024x768 so there is black all the way around the boot screen i used resource tuner and edited the screen to make it bigger but when i booted i got an error so i had to change it back

well thats pretty cool, it would rly freak someone out too,lol i dont get why they weight the keys how they do, i have big hands so the keys that require alot of weight are the keys that i use with my pinkie finger, the only key that i use my thumb for is the space bar

thunderbird for me ive used outlook xp before(comes with office xp, havnt tried 2003 yet but i do have it) and it is pretty much the same as thunderbird but im just taking the mozilla route for everything now

if he cant run in dual channel mode it may be because of the speed difference. for dual channel it is highly recommended to have 2 identical sticks of ram but it is not needed. it is also highly recommended to have 2 sticks with the same timings and/or the same speed. you should be able to run in dual channel, its just bad luck if u cant and if u cant then its one of the reasons i stated.

load it back up and look in the event viewer, then click the link and it will pop up help, then give us what is says there this is prolly b/c a device overheated and couldnt connect with the driver the right way

strange, have u looked here? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;810903

where u live?

YES there is performance loss but only in the 2709 stick, it will have to run at 2100 speed. thats it

well first of all run microsoft antispyware, adaware, spybot, and ur antivirus. do these in safe mode.

i know u are right, i do have trouble sometimes b/c i need to delete stuff for room if i install alot of games that require alot of space(doom 3, ut2005,sims 2) but the fact is also that most people dont ever use more than 15gigs, if not 10 most of my friends/family use under 10gigs b/c they are so computer illiterate. they dont know what to do with the space, yes some of them have digital cameras and take photos but they only have a few hundred photos so it doesnt take up much space. they dont play many games, 1 or 2 maybe. they do no types of editing of anything b/c of how illiterate they are. i am going to get a bigger hdd sometime soon but still... my friends's dad got a 2nd hdd, 160gigs, and only 4gigs is being used b/c he has nothing to do with the space. this is basically why i started this thread. also oem comps are coming with 80-160 gig hdd's and i see almost no point in that b/c its just a waste of money from my point before. and what do u mean by ntfs corruption? if windows desides it doesnt feel like working? if so and if i cant fix the problem then i will just reinstall windows.

nvm, restartedc comp, then had to give the part a drive letter, then it worked

i was trying to use part magic and it froze! and now the part that i was trying to resize is not there. in part magic it shows up but when i view it there are no files in it. what can i do here? i had rly important stuff on it.

mobo: dfi nf4 ultra- 122$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813136152 cpu: 3700 san diego-323$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103539 that all equals 445$ the x850 will run fine on it a 10k hdd, like the raptor, will make a difference but its not worth the money now if u want to overclock then u can get an xp-90 and a panaflo 92mm fan, that will bring u around 500$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...TC-pr1c3grabb3r http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835180052

wow that strange, ur warrenty must be up by now so whare they doing it for free? lol u will only get 100-300 on ebay, i know it sucks and dont argue with me, ive gone through the same thing best thing do is just to keep it

well the x700 is worse than the 6600gt why would u think that the x700 would be better than the x800 tho?

wtf, the rock is in doom! he is a horrible actor and i cant see a great game like doom being turned into a piece of crap movie b/c of the rock ive always thought of a hitman movie, except i think that bruce willis would be the best actor, he just has the right look/attitude to play the part good and hes know for movies like that(die hard)

call/email WD and ask them if there is some tool that can make it go faster
