Dual boot drive letter question

I'd like to extend this question a bit, if I may. I currently have one physical drive with XP installed. I purchased another drive to install Win7 on. When I plugged in the new drive to play around with Win7, I unplugged the XP drive, so there was only one physical drive running (just in case...

Abit AX8 and Venice core

I scored a free Abit AX8 board and I'm going to throw some spare parts into it for a second rig. The thing is, I don't know what BIOS version it has. I noticed the Abit website says that there was a BIOS revision (ver 11) that allowed the Venice processors to work. My question is, if this...

Windows XP error message with strange file

Thanks for your replies you guys. Like I said, the search for the actual file didn't reveal anything. That's probably why it's erroring out. It's trying to load something that isn't there. I do have AdAware installed and updated. I ran it, but it didn't detect anything. Maybe it detected...

Windows XP error message with strange file

Starting a couple of days ago my laptop has been getting an error on Windows start up and I can't figure it out. The error reads: "Error: loader couldn't initialize service!" I can click ok and everything works fine. It doesn't seem to really do anything that I've noticed so far. I did...

CDRW/DVD Combo Drive Problems

Nope, no overclocking. Everything is at stock. The only adjustment I made to the RAM was to set it to 2.6v because that's what the specs call for. And I believe the RAM is fine. I ran Memtest for almost three hours and over seven passes without any errors. Prime95 has been running for...

DVD/CDRW drive problem

I just set up a new computer with a MSI K8N Neo 4-F motherboard. Everything seems to work fine except the DVD/CDRW drive. When I first set it up, I put the HD on IDE1 master, and the DVD drive as IDE2 master. The drive worked fine until I would power down, switch it back on, and stick a CD...

Uninstalling NVIDIA IDE SW drivers

OK, I think they're uninstalled. I went to Add/Remove programs and removed the IDE drivers from there and everything listed in the device manager is a Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller (under IDE ATA/ATAPI controller). I'm still having problems with it. The specific error I'm getting...

Uninstalling NVIDIA IDE SW drivers

This might be a dumb question, but how do I uninstall the Nvidia IDE SW drivers? I just built my new rig, updated all the drivers, and am experiencing a BSOD everytime I put a CD with autorun into the drive. I know I installed the SW drivers and I've read that this could be the problem...

Q
Antec TruePower 430W vs. Antech TruePower II 430W

Well, I'm pretty sure I won't have to worry about a 20-pin PSU not working. I browsed through the online manual and on page 2-10 it states: The hardware compatibility list for the board also has the Enermax EG365P-VE as passing/compatible, and it only has one 12v rail (oddly enough there...

Q
Antec TruePower 430W vs. Antech TruePower II 430W

??? Any reason it would be? From what I understand the four extra pins power the video card. I was under the impression that as long as you have a solid PSU with lots of amps on the 12v rail, the four pins aren't really that big a concern (especially since you can take an adaptor and...

Q
Antec TruePower 430W vs. Antech TruePower II 430W

I've looked at the Blue Storm and it does look solid. But like I said, I like to stick with what I know. If for no other reason, than because it makes things easier. I've already spent what I feel is waaay too much time on looking at PSUs. Last time I bought one to replace a generic PSU I...

Q
Antec TruePower 430W vs. Antech TruePower II 430W

If I understand correctly, that thread basically says they used the wrong fan in the TPII, causing the unit to potentially over heat more than it should in a case. This could cause premature PSU failure and/or higher system/case temps. Is that a correct summation? It sucks to read that...

Antec TruePower 430W vs. Antech TruePower II 430W

Wow, you're smart. I'm guessing you've never had a typo in your life. And FYI, that was an incomplete sentence you replied with. Thanks everyone else, I think I'll go with the TPII. It's only a couple of bucks more, and I think even without the second rail it's probably a better choice.

Q
Antec TruePower 430W vs. Antech TruePower II 430W

I'm a couple of days away from ordering the rest of my computer parts. The final hurdle is which PSU to purchase. Should I get the TruePower 430 or the TruePowerII 430? The TPII has duel rails, the TP has one 12v rail. My system: A64 3200+ (venice), MSI Neo4-F, 6600GT I don't think I...
