Follow -up on Maxtor SATA drive saga

dabhpr, I had not even loaded AIBoost until after I tried loading SP2. Even I am not that dumb(maybe). My problems started way before I oc'd anything. I have tried it every way you can imagine, and windows will almost always install. The problems start when I try to load almost anything after...

Follow -up on Maxtor SATA drive saga

Are Maxtor drives bad???

I have what looks to be 2 bad maxtor drives. Is this possible? Both are brand new just out of the box. Windows will install and load ok, and reboots just fine, but when I load the drivers from the Asus disk, or the SP2 upgrade, or any other file, it won't boot. Gives me various corruted file...

Am I going nuts?

Orian and Sparky, If I press F6, how would I find the drivers? What drivers would I look for, are they on the Asus CD? Under what name? At this point I dont want to do raid, I just want to make those 2 drives work properly.

Am I going nuts?

OK Jorakal, heres the scoop. Somewhere on one of the forums I remember seeing something about Maxtor drives giving errors running under Nvidia nForce 4 drivers. I just dont remember the details, I only read it in passing. After I had problems, I went to the Maxtor Knowledge base and saw a blurb...

Another networking problem, sigh

By see, I mean that all the other pc's should appear on the monitor when I clik on network places icon. But I have hopefully resolved the problem, and yes you were right, I think. I removed Norton, and several other suspect programs, then disabled the windows firewall. I then rebooted, and...

Hey, thanks a lot Capt caveman, theres enough info there to make my head spin. But is there any tips on the AMD 64 4800X2 cpu? I'm an old computer freak past my prime, and all this OC stuff is new to me, you couldn't do this stuff 15 years ago.
