    Wireless connection constantly disconnecting...

    Windows does not recognize SATA drive.

    SATA drives don't have jumpers on. If you want to setup RAID you must install the drivers in the way described by Fardringle. I had exactly the same setup and set my SATA drivers to IDE mode in the bios and everything works fine. Apparantely a striped RAID can offer faster performance but...

    Window XP 32bit or 64bit...

    I've just built a new computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz. Would there be any advantages of me installing windows xp x64? I'm just using my system for music production, not playing games or anything. Thanks

    SATA drives are driving me mad :(

    It seems to be mostly ok now although I'm getting some strange problems like it freezing up when installing new software or drivers, and sometimes crashes on shutdown etc. I'm on F9 will try the bios update. Thanks

    Hi, I've just built a new PC and I'm having real trouble with the fact I've got SATA2 hard disks. I've read so much contrasting advice I don't know which way to turn! Would really appreciate it if someone can clear this up once and for all. I have 2 x 250GB SATA2 hard disks which I want...
