    My hard drive is really messed up.

    I need to get into this WD 120gig HD to get lots of data off, but I cant figure out a way to get in without XP seeing it and throwing up the blue screen o death. I have tried it as a master, slave and even in an external USB hard drive case but all with the same results. I fear that I will...

    Cant get my AMD 1700+ to boot Win2k past 1100mhz!

    WElp, I just got the latest bios, the 5W dated 10/22/01. No change. Still wont even look at the floppy drive before windows loads. I guess I will take the heat sink off, clean off old artic silver, reapply and try it again.

    Cant get my AMD 1700+ to boot Win2k past 1100mhz!

    I guess those of us with less than 2000 posts dont know what we are doing. I enter the bios, hit "set OPTIMIZED defaults"... and it puts me at 1100mhz when I boot up. When I TRY and FORCE it at 11x133....It wont load! I dont touch anything else! I dont touch the FSB.... Should it not load...

    Cant get my AMD 1700+ to boot Win2k past 1100mhz!

    Well, Ive been playing and I have some news. I upped the core voltage from default (1.75 I think) to 1.825. I was able to load windows fully, but as soon as I tried to get on the net, it locked up. Time after time.... I moved the voltage up in .25 increments untill I got to 1.825 and each...

    I am using an Antec 400w power supply that is AMD approved. I have the FSB settings set to the normal, default settings and I am not even upping them. Maybe It will load if I start overclocking?! Any other ideas?
