    Linksys Broadband Router is unstable... Why?

    Point well taken, O.k then in my opinion the router itself might not be to blame, you say you have installed this model router several times before, thus your instalation has got to be correct that leaves software and power, do you have or are you familiar with a multi-meter? your wall...

    Linksys Broadband Router is unstable... Why?

    This is most likely a dumb question but for proccess of elimination I will ask anyway, with that model router there are two types of reset one for default and one for factory have you tried both of them, remember if you attempt a factory reset it includes passwords and youwill have to start over...

    HDD "clicking" on boot-up.

    My DSL modem/router reset itself?!

    Another option to look at is the Modem/routers power supply, a sudden spike or drop in volts/amps will cause the device to reset it self, its a line of protection for power surges but drops in power have the same effect, a multi-meter will tell you if its putting out the right amount, if you...

    Why won't this drive format

    Try setting them both to cable select, but keep them in the same order (80gb W.D. at the end of the cable, Seagate in the middle) this way the bios will automaticaly set them as primary /secondary and will choose the correct mode to run them in, this all depends on the age of your mobo, older...
