XBOX Drive Died - Can a hardmod save it?

No, it isn't under warranty. It's ancient. It is a version 1.0 with the old Phillips reader in it, if this makes any difference. I replaced the power supply on it once, so I am familiar with the insides.

XBOX Drive Died - Can a hardmod save it?

My boys have an XBOX and I think the hard drive failed. It may still be readable but I know I can't save to it. I can get the parts from a broken XBOX with a failed mobo and a good hard drive. I also have a PC on my workbench that I can attach the hard drive(s) to, if necessary. I don't...

Windows 2000 and new mobo

Thanks! That's exactly what I did. After I started this topic, I found a Microsoft Technet article explaining how to do this. Basically, you just reinstall Win 2000 over the top of what you have. When it detects a previous installation of W2K, you just select R to repair it and it reloads...

Windows 2000 and new mobo

I replaced the motherboard on a Windows 2000 machine (from an Intel BX mobo to a VIA mobo) and now when it boots it gets a STOP 0x0000007B INACESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE message. Is there any way to get it to redetect the hardware so it can boot? I know in Win98 you could delete the ENUM branch of...

Opening Up Dlink DI713p Router

I have a Dlink 713P router that is out of warranty and the wireless connection has disappeared. I think this commonly happens with this router and is often caused by the fact that the wireless card comes loose internally. Once I talked to a technician at Dlink and he suggested that I open it...

Trivial FTP tftp server service installed by default on win2k server install?

In Windows, the ftp server is considered to be a component of IIS. The server versions of Win 2000 and Win NT installed IIS automatically, and so ftp was also automatically installed. Unless you install IIS or a third-party ftp server, you won't have an ftp server on Windows 2000 Pro, but you...

Upgrade from BX6r2 need more pci slots and irq's, have Tualatin 1.1A -> ??? TUV4X?

Is overclocking important? I can get you the name of the other motherboard I used if you want. The Celeron 1.0A & 1.1A are so easy to overclock to 133Mhz that almost any motherboard based on a the VIA chipset that has voltage modification can do it. The TUV4X BIOS 1003 doesn't allow voltage...

Upgrade from BX6r2 need more pci slots and irq's, have Tualatin 1.1A -> ??? TUV4X?

I have built a couple of systems with the TUV4X and they were stable, but it is not a good overclocking board at all. I bought them because I thought they were just CUV4X mobos (an awesome overclocker!) updated to use Tulautin chips, but apparently they have been extensively redesigned. I had...

$50 1700+ T-Breds @Newegg

FYI-- I bought a retail 1.7 last week when the retail was only $8 more than OEM and I got an 0302 just like everyone else has been getting. With the default voltage and stock fan it easily runs over 2 GHz. So it looks like the retail CPUS are probably the same stepping as the OEM.

Silver Components for New Case?

Thanks, guys, for your help! I think I will "stealth" the CD drives, since I tend to upgrade them frequently and this shouldn't effect their usability on other systems later. If I install a floppy, I will probably use vinyl dye to make it match. I appreciate all this info. I would have been...

Silver Components for New Case?

Thanks for the advice. I will investigate both of these possibilities (vinyl dye and the contact paper stuff).

Silver Components for New Case?

I recently purchased a few cases and accidentally got one that was all silver, instead of the usual silver & beige. It's just a steel case with a plastic front, not an expensive aluminum one. It is a nice-looking case, but my I'm afraid my CD-ROM, floppy, etc. will look strange with it. What...

[DEAL OVER] WD 80GB 7200rpm Hard Drive 8MB cache ~$54 NET COST (MSN Dollars incl.) @ Circuit City

Has anyone got a copy of the rebate form or a link to it? I bought this last week and can't find my printout of the rebate form. I would appreciate it if someone could provide one for me. PM me if you can help. Thanks!

Porn Site has taken over IE!!! Please help!

Bunker, Thanks! That page is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I had already found all the registry entries, but the article gave me a couple of more places to look. Now everything is back to normal. Thanks again! --Thurman--
