    Windows Temp Folder

    How do I move my Windows temp folder? I've created a partition on my HDD specifically for transient type files...downloads, torrents, my browser cache. I'd like to move my C:\windows\temp folder to this partition also. Any help?

    Asus A8V Mobo Ethernet Issues

    Is an ethernet controller the same as an ethernet card? I have an Asus A8V mobo, and I am trying to hook up my DSL modem with no results. Do I need a seperate Ethernet card, or is my mobo just messed up?

    Antec Power Supply Wires FRIED!?!

    None of the pins are bent, as if they were not connected properly. The pins on the floppy drive still look completely normal, straight as an arrow except of course for the one that was burned and it looks black.

    Antec Power Supply Wires FRIED!?!

    I just took another look, and it is impossible for me to have connected the floppy upside down. The connector is set so that upside down, it doesnt I guess "lock" into place. The way I slid it in, the power supply cable to the floppy fits snugly. I am now absolutely positive I DID NOT plug...

    Partitions: XP Dual Install for Dual PCs

    I would like to be able to check up on and start playing around with my new PC. Right now, it is totally useless since I have no HDD, and I would rather not wait the few weeks or however long it takes for my RMA to go through. I know that I cannot boot my new PC with my current hard drive...

    Partitions: XP Dual Install for Dual PCs

    I'm in the process of building a new PC, but my new WD Raptor needs to be RMA'ed since my Asus A8V BIOS won't recognize it. (Note, I have seen, read and tested all the articles on VIA/Promise SATA RAID drivers.) Meanwhile, I have the computer I'm on now, an old Athlon with an 80 GB 7400RPM HDD...

    Asus A8V SATA HDD Problems

    I am using the standard legacy power connectors. As far as I know my Antec SmartPower400 does not have any SATA power connectors. I have switched between several connectors as well, with the HDD never working while everything else does. I am fairly confident at this point HDD is faulty, but I...

    Asus A8V SATA HDD Problems

    My hard drive is a WD740, the 10,000 RPM 80 GB Western Digital. The HDD is connected to the first serial ATA port, though I have also tried it on the second SATA port AND on the SATA RAID ports with Promise enabled, and VIA diabled. No luck.

    PC Video ---> DVD Player

    I just finally got a fast DVD burner hooked up, but I haven't installed Nero yet. Can anybody point me in the direction of FAQs (or just straight give me the info) on how to burn MPG, AVI and DIVX files from my PC onto DVD's I can watch on a standard DVD player? Maybe this is much easier...
