Hello, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and am using 3x hard drives. I am using an SSD to run the OS and 2x spanned 1TB drivers for media storage. 1. Samsung 840 EVO SSD: OS intalled 2. 1TB Western Digital Black (spanned: 1/2) 3. 1TB Western Digital Black (spanned: 2/2) For some strange...

When you flip the lid open on your laptop, there is a little micro switch that opens a contact turning on the screen. Depending on your laptop, that switch might be built into the hinge, or it might be around the hinge and appear to be a little "nub" that sticks up. Try toggling the "nub" (if...

I have a DIR-625 D-Link router and 2 wireless computers on the network. The issue I face, is that after 'x' amount of time (sometimes days, sometimes hourly) my internet connection messes up. My AIM, and MSN remain logged in and seem to work. I can send and recieve messages, but I am unable...

computer itself might be toast. Does it beep at all when you start it up? Edit: make sure fans are spinning when you power it up, try cleaning dust out and re-seating your ram... I've had dust do some strange things to my computer.

working on a similar problem... http://www.diskinternals.com/ can see all of my files, only problem is you gotta pay like $100 to register to recover them.

I hade an OS installed on a 320GB hard drive when I had my SATA set to IDE, then installed 3 new dirves in RAID 0, and I accidently deleted the partition using the RAID array setup... :banghead: Is there any way to recover the partition to make the drive boot again? The files and everything...

Linksys Router Model: WRT160N V2 Linksys "VoIP Hub"? Model: SPA2100 Friend is having some issues playing starcraft. He will drop from games at random. For him he just reappears in the channel, but for other people in the game they get the 30 second drop dialog. Aside from that his connection...

Well.. one of my drives crapped out today :( came home and my computer was running CHKDSK with a crapload of bad sectors, tried to recover it but its toast. So... RAID 0 kinda sucks cause there is no way to recover data. Didnt notice a huge Difference in performance with raid 0 anyway...

solved my problem! while using N-Lite the drivers HAVE to be text and not PNP, otherwise they will not load during the windows setup process... made alot of CD coasters before learning that, hopefully it will help someone else in the same situation :)

Argh, ok now trying to set this up and got some issues. going for performance (not os much gaming but alot of large file xfers and dvd conversion stuff) so, im thinking 64k striping instead of 128k, disable "Gigabyte Boundary", and disable "Fast Init". If I have the 2 drives on SATA CON...

Sorry for not being more specific, if you have the vid card cranked up in the windows setting it can override your in game settings. Your card being a GForce should have a NVidia control panel where you should be able to adjust settings.

Thanks! I do not have a floppy drive, which is why I was asking if I would really need it. Chances are I would never use it again after windows setup anyway. I'll give the flash drive or CD-ROM a try; and as far as the RAID 5 I'll probably just wait a bit and see how it runs with just 2...

Sorry if it came across as bashing, was not my intention. I just figured his post was in no way helping the situation; neither was mine but at least I was trying. I had read your post but you only mentioned closing memory intensive processes which is why I mentioned to also check CPU...

If you look at the time I posted my message it was 16 minutes after Undead Dragon posted... Did it not occur to you maybe I had the window open for a while and his response wasn't there when I responded? All I wanted to do was contribute my 2 cents to try and help him solve his problem...

Something I find helpful when my computer is running slow; ctrl + alt + del and open task manager. Click on the "Processes" tab. Sort your applications based on CPU usage.. if there is one process that is constantly eating away at your processor, end task. Also sort applications based on...

Just purchased 2x 500gb seagate hard drives, and was planning on assembling them in RAID 0. I also have a 320GB drive and a 200GB drive, was wondering if its possible to have the 2 new 500GB drives in a raid 0 setup to improve performance, and somehow use 1 of the other drives as a backup in...

that was easier than I thought, Thanks!!

My motherboard bit the dust one day, so I upgraded everything, new board processor, ram, power supply & vid card. I only had one hard drive With XP Pro installed on it, so during the Windows X64 Pro Install I opted to delete the contents of the window folder and reinstall windows; the idea...

the external drive wasnt being detected with the 98 boot disk, so i just dled partition magic and that seems to work :p
