    Problem with Win2K and A7V

    Since no one really seemed to answer your question, what you need to do is download the newest Promise ATA100 drivers from ASUS's site (last time I checked Promise did not have drivers for it on their site). You're going to want to unzip the drivers zip file you download to a floppy disk (yeah...

    Poll: What OS do you run?

    Win98SE/Win2k/Linux and sometimes FreeBSD when I'm in the right mood.

    can you put 95 on an Athlon machine

    First of all, it matters what motherboard you're putting in there. Theoretically, all of them should work with Windows 95 with a bunch of driver updates and OS patches. If you're using a VIA based board, then you really only need to install the VIA 4-in-1 drivers (make sure you install all of...

    best editor for linux?

    Personally, I used Nedit. It has syntax highlighting for most any programming language. If I'm just in text mode, I use pico because I know how to do most of the commands. Vi bugs the hell out of me, but that's because I never took the time to learn it. If you find a good manual/faq/howto on...

    Windows 2k, and the Plextor 12/10/32 ide cd-rw drive

    You should have DMA disabled on the cd writer, but enabled on the hard drive(s). What cd burning software are you using? Also, if you have a sound card in the system, what kind is it? If it's an Aureal (Diamond MX300 fits in this category), that's probably your problem.... their drivers for...

    Burner Question

    I had problems with a Teac CD-Rom a long time ago, so I'm very wary of the company, but I think that was an isolated problem. Pacific Digital I've never even heard of, so Teac is probably your best bet. Ricoh drives tend to be pretty good, I've got an MP7060A (6x4x24) and it works great. I've...

    CDRWin/burner error : please advise!

    << Anyone know what may cause this error from CDRWin? using latest version, 3.8b, with a HP 9210i scsi, 8x4x32 drive and any type of copying/recording in CDRWin gives me this START DAO RECORDING error >> What operating system are you using? In Win2k, one of my friends was having similar...

    How do I save the girl next door's computer?

    Where is the $60 20GB hard drive deal from? :) More on the topic of the thread, I do agree with the formatting... boot from the Win98 CD to do it, though... that way if there are any viruses (virii?) they can't infest your bootup device (since CD-rom's are read only of course).

    A7V: UDMA66 or UATA100?

    I've got an A7V board with a Thunderbird 700 in it... My question to the people of the forums is which controller should I use? Currently I am using the UDMA/66 controller which may be the cause of problems I am having (computer lags and acts like a 486 every once in a while). I have no...
