    I don't have EZ Flash 2 on my board. I had regular EZ Flash. I followed the instructions of my motherboard book. It found the floppy with the bios flash on it. It started beeping at me and wouldn't stop. I let it beep for about 5 minutes before rebooting. It never started flashing. I also...

    Windows XP Will Not Install on Brand New Raptor

    Thanks. I would have preferred to do a clean Win install but I just hooked the new one up as a slave, then used the WD tools to migrate from the old to the new. Took 20 mins, and no problem with the new drive so far.

    Have to turn off the DSL modem for a few seconds every now and then

    I get this problem occasionally, but it is because I am downloading too many torrents concurrently. Usually fixes itself once I reboot the router.

    Windows XP Will Not Install on Brand New Raptor

    OEM Drive, no setup disk. I should be able to format the drive from within the windows set up. Why should I have to connect it up as a slave and format it through a fully running version of windows?

    I'd appreciate one if anyone wants to send me one, I'll pay C+S. MS will probably not hold another training in Albany for a few years.

    Well, Albany NY got 3 feet of snow last night. MS still sent an email saying they were aware of the weather but the event was still going on. No way I could have made it in to it with the roads the way they are (IE: not plowed). Anyone happen to go to the Albany one today? How was the turnout?

    Free Office Pro 2007 and Office Groove 2007

    I registered for the Public Sector IT Track (IT Pro was full) I am a government employee. My registration paper has my government agency listed as my employer. Any way I can still get the free items? Do they just not give the gift bag to any government employees or what? I'm not sitting...

    Recommend Me a Case

    Neither are vented sidepanels which kinda makes me nervous about higher temps. I see the 121 has a duct to the back but I'm not sure that will fit over the SI-120 and Panaflo.
