Disk error in XP install

I just got a new motherboard and reformatted my hdd so that I could set up my OS's (win xp and mandrake 9.1). I started with windows because it seems to take over the boot loader if I do linux first. I booted to the CD and after formatting my partition and copying files, setup restarted and...

Adding Win2k to a linux system (dual boot) questions

Well I'm typing this now on Win2k, but sadly I had to erase my Linux partition :( It seems that the installer won't boot (after the initial CD copying) unless its installed on the first drive. Thats really cool to hear about GRUB (which I was using), but too bad I didn't use it. Oh well, the...

Adding Win2k to a linux system (dual boot) questions

Good idea about testing it! :) I was just going to dive right in, but I'll make a second one and test this one just to be sure. Thanks! --Ryan

Adding Win2k to a linux system (dual boot) questions

I am currently running SuSE 8.2 and since school is starting up I'm going to need Windows to run some programs (Code V in particular), but I want to keep my linux installation. As I understand it, the Win2k installation will rewrite my MBR so that it will only boot windows. I don't have...

Backwards compatibility? (RAM, AGP, etc)

I'm looking into getting a SFF case to replace my huge tower (Biostar iDEQ specifically) and wanted to see how much of my old hardware would work with it. I have an Athlon Tbird 1.33 GHz (probably will be replaced by Barton 2500+), PC2100 RAM, and a 4xAGP video card. Here's the product info...

Move to Linux Question

I've just gone through the same thing with finding the right linux distro for me. I tried Mandrake 9.1, RedHat 9, Debian woody, Knoppix 3.2, and SuSE 8.2. I like SuSE the best and have found it the best and very easy to use for a former Windows user. YaST2 is very easy and I actually sort of...

Best bang-for-the-buck CPU/MB/VID for Linux?

I know when new hardware comes out it takes a little bit of time for it to be supported in linux. What would be the best CPU/Motherboard/Video card that would be fully supported in linux? I will definitely be running XWindows (KDE) and am still learning linux, so I don't want to recompile the...

Best bang for the buck components??

Thanks all! That a7n266 sounds good, they really won't be playing many games (especially once my brother moves out). Is 3 PCI slots really enough? I know theyll need modem (thanks for reminding me techfuzz!), a sound card, and what else?? Also, I havent used one of those mini-ATX mobos...

Best bang for the buck components??

I'm building a computer for my parents (instead of paying back the money for tuition, they liked this idea more), so I want to build them something thats going to be stable and last, but not spend a fortune. I'm thinking AMD Athlon XP 1600+ or so with 256 MB PC2100 DDR, 40GB 7200 HDD, and 64MB...

Digital Camera Recommendations

I've got a Canon Powershot S330 Digital Elph and love it to death. Thats not to say its better than the A40 (which has a couple more manual controls), but it does have some advantages. First, the rechargeable battery rocks and you gotta buy one if you get the A40 (or youll keep buying...

AHHHH, can't enable AGP traffic on my MSI Starforce 831!

I'm running Win2K, have a DFI AK76-SN motherboard, and an MSI Starforce 831 and it won't let me enable AGP traffic in the Display settings. My computer feels about 10 times slower than it used to and I think this is why. I just had to replace my hard drive a little while ago so thats why I...

Need experienced help! Why does my computer restart randomly?

My current CPU temp is 51C and the overheat temp was set to 50C on the program. I changed it to 60C for now, just so I dont have to worry as much about it. My computer has only been on for a little over a half hour so I'll keep an eye on the temp. The CPU Hysteresis temp says 40C, whatever...
