Still, its a cool Idea.

Is it possible to use an external USB drive as a boot drive? jus curious.

So here's the deal...I have a desktop with XP Home on the HD. It also has a blank HD onto which I'd like to install MCE 2005. However, the MCE disc is a DVD and this computer's DVD drive is broken. I have a laptop with a DVD drive also on my home network. Can I load MCE 2005 onto the...

Quick follow up for anyone still following...I bought a new athlon64 3200+ tosday after work and installed it and....... Success!! Everything is fine again! I Guess ASUS's POST reporting system rocks! And so do you all who predicted this outcome. Thanks to everyone for your help, as...

Along the same subject matter...what mother board might you replace a K8V deluxe with? Same one?

Tried that ---- no love :(. Im thinking its the CPU. However, since MoBo's are cheaper, might it be wise to start with a new board first...easier to return MoBo's too isnt it?

I have an ASUS K8V deluxe/Athlon 64 3200 based system which crashed recently and now won't POST. The MoBo gives me an audio message "system failed CPU test" on reboot. I cannot get into the BIOS at all, EVEN after resetting the CMOS jumper and/or removing the battery. I could always buy a...

Sweet...Thanks! :)

right...I'll try that...during which part of the beginning of the install do I get the opportunity to hit F6?

Read the second post...that's an error...its XP

So I managed to get the VIA controller to recognize the drive but not the Promise controller...in fact, windows is having trouble installing the Promise controller drivers referenced above...the error message reads that the device could not be started. With the drive on the VIA controller, it...

The only SATA drivers I have for the MoBo seem to e for RAID controllers (the promise and VIA controllers on my K8V Deluxe). Should there be a way to install drivers for the controller if I'm using it in a non-RAID configuration?
