The spec sheet in that article has conflicting information. On the specs side, it says it weighs 1.5 pounds. But in the feature list it says it weighs less than 1.5 pounds!

The spec sheet for that case does not really tell me the kind of info I need. Your board only has the one Audio connector, so if you are getting any sound it must be correct. I'd wonder about the connector on the case tho. I can check some differences tomorrow. Edit: refer to this thread

If you are not planning on installing an OS on this disk, there is no reason to convert it to GPT.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I have merged your new topic into your old one. Please do not create additional topics about this, instead reply into this thread.

Only boot volumes require to be GPT disk if over 2TB. Is this 3TB disk a blank disk, a boot disk from another PC, or the boot disk for this PC?

There are 2 different types of front panel audio jacks. AC97 and HDAudio. Sometimes the type of connector is labelled on the connector itself, sometimes not. And its usually the case that a yellow connector is HDAudio, but this isn't always the case either. Sometimes the FP Audio cable will have both connector types, you should look to see if yours does. Usually they are labelled if both are there. Can you post your motherboard, as well as the new case you bought?

If it is this link, they show up for me. http://www.wpiw.net/home.html

I guess I could use the probabilities of bhplt having a DC at home to make a few trips around the universe with the Heart of Gold. jaclaz Of course. I merely mention it being there because I needed to see what kind of access I had on both networks while both connections were active. I could have just said it was another computer. @myselfdiem I had noticed that as well. Of course I was not entirely concerned with trying to figure out why I couldn't access the internet... I was wondering if this is either something to do with it being a wireless connection... or if it was because I had connected to wireless last in my chain of events.

Quoting this again to show how to see the wireless list when plugged into wired. While it is true that you can't access the wireless list from the icon, you can get it to pop up from here. Click on Connect to Network, the wireless list should then appear. I did my test, being connected to LAN, I have full access to the LAN computers. I connected to a wireless network. IPCONFIG shows that I have 2 default gateways, one for each connection. BUT the DNS Server is now the one provided by the wireless router. You can see your default DNS Server the PC is actually using by running NSLOOKUP. Here are the 2 connections: LAN - connected to a network with a domain controller (DC), but this network has no internet access. WLAN - connected to wireless router with internet access I cannot access the internet. Name resolution works (can resolve google.com) but cannot ping domain names or IPs. I cannot ping the DC using the FQDN (the wireless router can't resolve the name), but I can ping its actual IP. BONUS: I CAN access a network share using the DC's computer name: \\server\ That's all I got.

I don't think that's necessary unless it interests you. In respect to the OP's request, I think if any testing is done, it would be related to how we can see available wireless networks while connected to LAN. I put it off yesterday, I think I'll give it a go today.

Your wired and wireless networks are in the same subnet it appears. Either way you should have noticed the .6 and .9 addresses. But you should have tried looking at the ipconfig -all during that testing. You would have noticed a default gateway appeared on the active connection.

Sure, its right in your screenshot. You have the Intel PRO/Set software, as well as Intel My WiFi installed. I don't know what the My WiFi software does, I haven't used it before. Maybe if I get bored later I can try to connect to wireless and wired on a notebook with stock Windows (driver only, no additional software) to see if it is possible. Oh, you can see what network you are using by running: netstat -v Your Local Address column will show you which IP your NIC is using to go out into the world, from there you can determine which NIC has the default gateway allowing for internet access.

Those types of systems do exist. I ran into a tablet a couple months ago that did not have the legacy BIOS on it, only UEFI 2.3.1. Of course, I wouldn't expect you'd want to install Windows 2000 on it tho. Here it is, the CZC U116T: http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/29/czc-u116t-ultrabook-hybrid/

I wonder if your wireless software has something to do with it. I see those two Intel Wireless options in your picture as well. Even so, if you are able to connect to more than 1 network at a time, you only will get one default gateway, thus internet access can be used on only one and not the other. The only potential reason I can see why you would want to connect to more than one is to use the wireless for internet, and use the physical lan to connect to network shares in a private LAN. I figured it was possible using static IPs or with other wireless software, but I typically don't even install those things and let Windows manage the wireless connections.

Windows won't let you connect to a wireless network if you are connected to a wired one. The reason is because you cannot have 2 default gateways. You will need to find a third-party "site survey" software to see what networks are available. I have none to recommend, as I log into my router to use the built-in site survey function.

64bit Office is discouraged from being installed because there are compatibility issues with it and other programs. I'm not sure if it is related to your issue, but I would try using 32bit Office instead. http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/faq/faq/000000/002500/000060/faq002560_000.html?reg=us∏=dcp8080dn_us&c=us〈=en

Windows won't show you the wireless icon in the systray if you are already connected to a wired connection. Here is a picture of the wireless icon: http://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/images/art_soper_win7wireless/elementLinks/soper_fig06.jpg A = wireless connections available B = connected to wireless network (shows signal strength) When you click on it in the "A" state, you will see a list of available networks, including whether or not they are open or secured.

I haven't experimented with that MS tool. Are you using an answer file?

This:

And be aware of the risk of unclogging cables sending asterisks through them! jaclaz So from what I understand, once the sound issue is solved, beware that all those previously missing sounds will suddenly come free and be heard all in one cacaphony?

Sure you can install the drivers after imaging if you want. If you are not a System Builder, you should look into using MDT 2010 to create deployments. Also look at our sticky:

Was this a manual creation or did you use Windows To Go?

It didn't seem right to me, but its easy enough to do a test. Now I do recall that WinPE 2.x diskpart operated a little differently, so perhaps it is knowledge leftover and not corrected. However, at least in WinPE 3 and 4 (x64) it is easy enough to test. I can confirm that if you use the CLEAN command on a GPT disk, it does indeed revert the disk back to MBR format, or at least it ceases to be GPT. Consider this result: DISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- Disk 0 Online 55 GB 0 B DISKPART> sel disk 0 Disk 0 is now the selected disk. DISKPART> clean DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk. DISKPART> convert gpt DiskPart successfully converted the selected disk to GPT format. DISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- * Disk 0 Online 55 GB 55 GB * DISKPART> clean DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk. DISKPART> list disk Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- * Disk 0 Online 55 GB 55 GB DISKPART>

Ok I'll also try again. Since we are now clear about your expertise level concerning audio signals, the warnings in this link are VERY important. In my former career as a sound engineer, we would test the full range of the equipment using various sounds. MAKE NOTE of the VOLUME WARNINGS... you don't want to blow up your speakers. If you don't feel comfortable enough in doing full range audio tests, feel free to not attempt it. Also, from experience, you may encounter some discomfort at the higher frequencies... also it may be possible that dogs in your area may not appreciate when the high frequency range ceases to be heard by you. http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-ch1.htm http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-ch2.htm http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-ch3.htm Now, these aren't going to be miracle files, but are intended to assist you in properly tuning your system. I do not use these types of sounds anymore because I have found actual songs to use for testing purposes. If a correction cannot be made via your controls then you will need to explore the other options. I disagree with your assertion that #3 is not the issue, since it is known that Windows 7 handles audio differently than Windows XP.
