    Disappearing Hard Drive???

    I have 2 HD's on my pc & recently, one of them isn't showing when I go to 'My Computer'. I checked the cable to make sure that it's secure, but I havne't tried replacing the cable yet. Any idea what may have happened & how to fix it? Thanks in advance!! CS

    How To For Assembling New PC

    Ok, So I'm almost ready to build my new pc & while I'm comfortable doing so, I've never did it before. I've replaced almost everything internally before, with the exception of the Mobo & CPU. Is there a good online "how to" guide somewhere? Also, I bought a retail Venice 3200+ with fan/hs...

    Help Building A New PC

    Thanks for the help. Sounds like I'll have to go with 2 HD's & partition them differently than planned. The RAM that I'm using now shows as pc2700 on the cpuz. Will this make a difference? Also, anyone know what the differences between the MSI K8N Neo4 & the Neo2 are? Would one work better...

    Azzy, thanks for the quick response. How can I tell if I'm running DDR400? I know I'm using DDR, but that's all I know.

    Help Building A New PC

    Hello to all & thanks in advance. Right now I'm using an AMD Athlon XP 2100+, 1.73GHz, MSI KT4V Mobo, 1.5GB of Ram. I've started acquiring pieces to build a new PC, but I'm unsure what to get in terms of a CPU & MoBo. Here's what I have already: Antec SLK 3700 case w/ 350w p. source...
