Its not the keyboard (its ps2, either way). Its just this particular HD that is causing the problem. 2 other HD were able to accept both repairs and clean installs. Just one, very important HD, is causing the hang.

bump

roommates computer, just gave me info, havent touched it yet. Figured I would get a jump start cause i think i will have issues. A new mobo, original drive. It hangs at "press any key to boot from cd" and then the rom spins down, so a repair isnt even offered at this point. He has tried both ide...

windows xp pro, all sp's regards juanicus

i am planning to pop the sucka in my roomies computer tonite. Its less than 9mo old and i know the mobo supports sata and pci express, so i guess thats a good start. but, "its a dell, dude". but please, keep giving me ideas and as soon as i get through trying the newest comp in the house, i...

yeah, ive tried disk manager, and yes, just about 32g. This is weird. thanks for the try though regards juanicus

both those points checked and triple checked, no cylinder limit jumper and yes the diagram is upside down but that was something noticed right away. thanks for the input, please keep trying. regards, juanicus

more info: mobo is asus p4s533-x, award bios is the latest (rev 1004). In the bios it is detected as a 32gb. The reason I made the assumption it was not the bios was because in the bios, my maxtor 6E040L0 shows at correct capacity and is larger than 32gb. Checking the 48bit lba support now...

maxtor 6L200R0 should be 200gigs but i only get 32 gigs. Now, its not the bios, i got a 40gig in there as a master. Its not the OS, i gots the service packs. Its not the jumpers, no jumpers because in slave, CLJ thing covered. And, yes, it is NOT FAT32. Formatted in windows with native...

just an update, shorltly after my last post i just poped out the battery and popped it back in (easier to get to than the cmos jumper). all is good in my hood thanks juanicus

The f10 doesnt work. more detail on it... the cursor starts off as a small horizontal line the the upper left hand then turns into a a large vertical cursor in the upper right hand. What is odd is that this all happened after the addition of a slave drive. the slave drive has been removed and...

i have tried cs setup and have also tried all the f's, f3 f6 f8 f10 f12, and esc. just frozen splash (not the dessert). thanks for the input. juanicus

the computer i am working on is a compaq presario no more than 30 months old. got it up and running, no problem until: Added a wd hd slave and when i rebooted i got the compaq splash screen. the cursor goes from the left upper corner to the right upper corner and is thicker and stays like that...

i think i might be getting even more confused here, i was the originator. The original argument was that a film could not be put on dvd and still reproduce what is seen. I know that analog is linear and digital is discrete. So, it may be a dumb question, but, why do they "digitally remaster" and...

hello all, I just had a long conversation with my neighbor about dvd film and actual true film. He says that it is impossible for a dvd to have the same quality as film (he added that terrabytes would be necessary to reproduce film quality on a dvd). He says it has nothing to do with...
