    Constantly Corrupt Boot Sector on non-OS Drive...

    I switched around the SATA ports on the drives between the three accessible connections a couple weeks back to no avail (one of the four is totally obstructed by my 3870), although it at least gave me a reason to improve my wiring job a bit. Also, I'd not considered running the drive as an...

    Constantly Corrupt Boot Sector on non-OS Drive...

    I have no other machine to test the drive in, although I certainly hope I don't/haven't run into any more motherboard issues, as I originally slagged another Lanparty UT via a power FUBAR when upgrading to the 3870. Also, Windows being assigned to "G" was not my intention, but I'm unsure how to...

    Constantly Corrupt Boot Sector on non-OS Drive...

    Hello, all. I've got two internal SATA HDs in my rig--one 250GB, one 200GB. Both are Seagates and have performed remarkably well for at least a couple years, but I've run into a strange problem over the past few weeks: The 200GB trouble-free drive is divided into two partitions, one being...

    Steelsound 5H v2 USB issue

    I won't bump this anymore after this, but I really thought someone would know something...even if it can't be done. *Crosses fingers*

    Steelsound 5H v2 USB issue

    I recently bought this pair of headphones: http://www.steelseries.com/products/steel_sound/steelsound_5h_v2_usb/information They're great headphones, and they were an oustanding deal. But...since they're the USB version, they have their own soundcard. That wouldn't normally be bad, but I...

    Best Wired Routers For Emule?

    I do a decent amount of Torrenting and eMuling, and a prior Linksys router I had (of the same make and model, I believe) performed very well, so I was caught a little off-guard by my recent problems. Perhaps I just got a "dud" router that didn't show its true colors until after the return...

    Best Wired Routers For Emule?

    My Linksys router behaved fine for a couple months, but then it starting overloading and rebooting constantly (even with a dramatically reduced number of connections), and it eventually ceased working completely. I was just trying to convey that I somehow broke my router through intense usage...

    Best Wired Routers For Emule?

    I'm neither technically inclined enough or in possession of a switch, so I'll just have to plow on with conventional routers. Thanks for the clarification though, because I obviously misunderstood the responses. My apologies to InlineFive and nweaver.

    Best Wired Routers For Emule?

    Here's my one and only hopeful bump.

    Best Wired Routers For Emule?

    Right...but I'm asking what the best wired routers are out there to handle such an intense connection load, not what would be an "acceptable" PC and OS setup. I'm looking to find the best router(s) because I have a habit of fragging them through periodic heavy P2P usage.

    Best Wired Routers For Emule?

    Hello, all. Hopefully I'm posting this in the correct location, but just in case I'm not I'll don my flame retardant shield. ;) This is from my posting on eMule's boards, but I'm meeting with little success there. Maybe someone can offer insight here? First off, I've already scoped...

    What is YOUR solution to the Iraq situation?

    I don't think that there are any viable alternatives to this quagmire, and the only real options are those that minimze fallout. Iraq's current condition seems very representative of the overall state of the Middle East: a war-torn hotbed of religious issues that can only be resolved at the end...

    Blindwrite 5

    Bump. You run it before you run Blindwrite itself, and you can custom-tailor the rip's specifications, like extracting subcodes and such. Edit: Nevermind. It's Blindwrite 5 Tweaker.
