I tried that, but turning it into a wav just makes it into a file that's 1:15 long, and cuts off all the stuff afterwards. Ah well - I guess I'll just have to move the seeker manually whenever I want to listen to it all, haha.

I'm assuming then that there's no "Magic CD Cleaner" equivalent for an mp3 file then, right?

Hi, I came across a very weird mp3 issue lately, and figured this was probably the best place to play it. I've got an mp3 (Kool & the Gang - Heaven at Once) that's around 5 minutes long, but whenever it gets to the same place in the song (around 1:15) it skips to the next track. However, if I...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys, as my internet wasn't working haha, but I tried the first few things from the links and they didn't work, so I ended up buying an NIC (with a gift certificate, thankfully), and now it's back. Thanks for the help!

I have a question regarding a problem with my internet that's popped up recently - Last week, while I was using my internet, it suddenly stopped working. I figured it was simply a problem with our ISP, as sometimes in the winter they get power failures that knock out the internet for a few...

Alright, thanks. My drive has been pretty clean so far - maybe 10 crashes in the past - eh...year? A lot better than I expected. But both drives are SATA, so does what you said still apply? And what do you mean by "transfer settings"? How do you do that?

So, I install the Raptor, mirror the old drive onto the Raptor, then format it? I'd have to go into BIOS and set the Raptor as the boot drive then, right?

Well, just as a benchmark, on a recent trip to Europe...well, a little backstory here - during the summer, I made a pair of spiked brass knuckles (basically a band of tape with nails sticking out of it - and don't flip out, I didn't plan to use it. I make things like that just to pass the time)...

Hi, I built my own PC (for the first time) last summer; it's a nice gaming rig, but its hard drive is only 40gb. Needless to say, one year later, I've only got 2 gigs left, so I'm looking at putting in a second hard drive, a 74gb Raptor. I'm planning on using this Raptor as the boot drive, and...

mmmm.....;(

*bump* This post is lonely, and I can't return the DVD drive any more!

I just got a Pioneer DVR-610, and it came with Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3.5. Oddly, windows thinks the drive is a 110D, but that's not the problem. When I open MovieFactory, a list of tasks comes up - burn a movie, a data cd, a music cd, a data dvd, etc. However, whenever I click on a task, the...

I actually had this problem a while ago - my mobo sound was shot, and I was trying to get rid of the drivers. In my case, I simply installed a Creative Sound card whose drivers overrode the ac97 ones. If you're planning on installing anthing to replace your mobo sound, you don't really need to...

Well, never mind. Turns out it was a n00b mistake - I had both drives set on master! Oh well. Just one more thing I won't do wrong again.

I just got a Pioneer DVR-610B dvd burner, and I installed it today. I also have an asus dvd-rom drive that I''ve used for a year without problems. When I installed the drive, windows recognized it upon startup, but it replaced the dvd-rom for some reason. I assumed it was because of the way in...
