Neil, I set my boot order to hd first and then the cdrom, but it still loads the cd rom drive as the primary drive and the hd's and third master and third slave. Is that normal? I suspect that is why I get a boot up beep. Its not reading the os HD as a primary?

Everything seems to boot up and function properly, but i still get a beep upon boot up. I already had my HD as the first boot up priority, but to fix the issue I just went into bios and disabled my primary slave. Is it normal to have it beep upon boot? Thanks for all your help so far!!

Ok, I have not been using the Jmicron controller. I am using the slot below the floppy. I have the jumper set to master on the dvd rom drive. when booting up, it still gives me the 1 beep error and then adds an 'f1' error halt telling me the slave drive - atapi incompatible. Here is...

I have the corsair Twin2X2048-5400C4 timings should be 4:4:4:12 1.9V. Other than loading up everest, i dont know how to check the mem setting except at the bios reads all 2048MB of it so it seems ok? Adding the jumper to either cable select or master screws up the dvd drive, it doesnt detect...

Hi, Im really not that computer savvy. I'm going to look into overclocking later, but I want to make sure i can run everything at stock first. Im not sure where to check what my memory is running, but bios shows 2048mb total. Mem is 2x1gb corsair xms2 5400 cas 4. no external hds, i...

Neil, I went ahead and changed my IDE config in bios to standard IDE. (i did have it on raid) Then i booted in xp and used the disk managament to format the second raptor. Now it detects both drives, but the odd thing is that during boot up I still get an error beep; indicating three...

I have a question, I followed the instructions and i was able to load the xp, however, when i check the bios it doesnt detect my 2x raptors. During the boot up it lists my 2x raptors as un-raided(as I want them right now) but it when it does a drive check and says no drive found. ialso get...

Hi guys, I read alot of post and the process seems very straight forward. Im running a e6600 on a p5w dh with with 1305 bios. Im trying to install 2x raptors in a non-raid. I checked the ide config in bios to enable achi, Im a little confused why the bios reads my sata drives as third...

Yes, i did supply PCI-e power to the Card. Z-stream: when you say bios update are u refering to the MB Bios? I bought by p5w recent and it has version 1301 already, unless i need to up it to 14xx. I will try to swap it to the black pci-express, as soon as i figure out how to install xp...

oh no. thats the worst news for a complete noob like myself.

Hi, I am having a big problem installing my new ati x1900xt. I dont know what the deal is, but after I install the card into the PCI-Express slot, I dont get a signal. I have an Asus P5W DH MB. I have yet to try to stick it in the second express slot to see if that works. Im not sure if...

Thats what if figured after I randomly bought it with out really planning what I was going to do with it. Such a pain to find decent Heat sinks since they are like oos on almost every site. Regarding weight: the Sycthe Ninja is 815G the Thermatake Ultra 120 is 745g without fan...
