Okay i guess it's the same jumper universally. I put the jumper in the correct position as shown on the WD web site to force it to run in SATA 150 mode, and still, absolutely no response from the hard drive. Really thinking the hard drive is kapoot.

I have an ASUS A8V deluxe which features the VIA K8T800 Pro chipset. I do not know for a fact whether it supports SATAII. I've looked at the specifications and it does not mention anything about SATAII, so that may be my problem. However the drive was purchased OEM and did not come with a...

Well, not only will it not detect in the windows installation, but neither in the BIOS. I did the F6 thing and selected the right WinXP SATA controller drivers for the Windows XP setup but the drive does not appear on the list when it asks which partition/hard drive i want to install windows...

Okay, I've ran the ASUS floppy image on the disk, but what do I do now? I tried running it from the command prompt in Win XP setup, but that didn't work.

Once again, ty for the help. :) I'll have to dust off the old floppy drive. Hopefully it still works.

Thank you. I will look into that thread

Hi. Today i received my Western Digital SE16 WD2500KS to replace my current Maxtor IDE hard drive. So I disconnect my old hard drive, put in the new one, and put my windows xp cd in the drive to format and install windows-but.. no, my bios does recognize that my SATA hard drive is connected...

Well, I want to get an upgrade worthwhile, a bit faster than a 3200+ or lower. I don't really plan to jump out an buy dual-core chip anytime afterwards, also. Perhaps i'll over-clock the 3500+ chip, I already bought a zalman cnps-7000cu HSF to go along with it, so I guess the 3500+ it is.

Hi all, I just needed a little input on whether i should buy an Athlon 64 3500+ or a 3400+, of course being s.939 and 754 respectively, I can't really decide on which to get. On one hand, with the 3500+ i can supposedly take advantage of my dual-channel'd Corsair 3200XL memory, but i've heard...

Well, the good thing is, is that if (most likely) bush wins, he can't run again. Although i can imagine his brother will try to run for president. :( poor, uniformed americans.

Wow! I just posted almost the EXACT same post a little while ago! I have the same problem, i have an A-XP 2700 with an A7N8X, 430w PS.. well, you can see the details down below...Sorry, i can't obviously offer any tips because i have the same exact problem.. good luck.

Oh.. sorry, i see i should have put this in tech support.. :o

I've had this problem for quite a long time, and though it occurs sporadically in quite a few games, it hasn't driven me insane yet. Lately, I've been trying to play Planetside, and it is happening a lot, where I would be running the game for a few minutes, and suddenly my computer restarts...

A little while ago I posted a problem about having rather disappointing performance after buying a 6800nu, posting 3dmark03 scores of around ~5900, (My system is in my sig) and having people say that a configuration equivalent to mine should be getting around 8000 3dmarks. Well, after a while a...

Thanks for the suggestions. Indeed, i think it is being bottlenecked by my older CPU, it may justify getting an XP 3200, they are pretty cheap and i would hope to see some decent improvements. df96817, answering your question: Yes, i have formatted my hdd at least 3 times since i got the...
