    Formatting a Large HDD

    Well, the reason I'm asking... is because I set it to the maximum the first time I formatted it. But it's either 127.99 or 186.3 depending on which utility I'm looking at..... I think it's the difference between one interpreting 1000MB as 1GB and other ones using 1024.... I was jsut wondering...

    Formatting a Large HDD

    I'm re-formating my 250GB hard drive. I know that is too large to be recognized by XP without SP2. What size should I use during the initial format? I'll add the rest after I re-update to SP2

    RAM Speed hindered by FSB?

    I have a Pentium 4 2GHz, on an Abit AI7 motherboard. My memory (according to bios and cpuz) is only running at 133MHz. As I increase the FSB, the ram speed increases, but my system won't boot once I pass ~115FSB (2.3GHz processor, 154MHz RAM) Is there any way that I might be able to overcome...

    SATA Drive Size

    I know it's a limitation, and I knew I could access the rest of the driver after SP2 install :) Partition Magic doesn't see the extra drive space at all. Seperate issue, the drive really is 128GB? or really is 186?

    SATA Drive Size

    I have a 250GB SATA drive. Windows Disk Manager lists it as 186.30GB, and Windows Explorer lists it as 127.99GB. I know that is because I didn't install SP2 when I installed Windows the first time. But, I have installed it since then, but I am still unable to see the rest of the drive in Disk...

    Firewall, where?

    I know that :) I use it to block Sasser. Is that as involved as router firewalls get? Just block XXX port(s)?

    Firewall, where?

    For my home network (which consists of a desktop windows, laptop windows, a desktop mac, a playstaion 2 and my D-Link DI-604 router) Where should I put the firewall(s)? I use the port firewall to block sasser through the 3 ports Symantec says it uses, and I currently have Norton Firewall 2005...
