And to be even more correct, it should probably be 1,4-diphenyl-2-butyn-1,4-dione. But anyway, clarify the rest, and we'll see what we can do. :) And get to improving those naming skills! :)

You mean 1,4-dioxo-1,4-diphenyl-2-butyne?

Ok, I'm pretty sure you're dealing with at Wittig reaction here, but you really need to be more clear and get your nomenclature correct, or else we can't help you. Is PPh3+ attached to the dione, or are you saying PPh3 PLUS all that other stuff? And it should be 1,4-dioxo-position...

System restore it back to before you installed the IDE Tool. Then uninstall the Entire Via busmaster controller and then restart.

My 24x Plextor is pretty loud, but not THAT loud. The CD trey is slow as hell, though.

What type of CD-ROM / CD-RW do you have? If it's an NEC, updated the firmware. That's a known issue with XP and those drives. Just a thought, but considering it didn't start happening until those two additions, it might not be a very good one...but still. :)

Muffinman, what're jOO doing? :)

If you can somehow get to the recovery console, chkdsk /r will be your best chance of fixing it.

Start, right click my computer, manage. Then choose disk management on the left pane. On the right, you'll see your disks displayed. In the top portion, you can change the drive letters of your hard disks by right clickin the drive and selecting the obvious. In the bottome portion, you can...

I had the same probem. It's an IRQ conflict of sorts. Move your SB Live! into a different PCI slot.

Yup what zippy said. Write zeros to the drive using your HDD manufacturer's disk utility.

Nothing has helped. Newest BIOS for my Asus A7V (1008), newest 4in1s (4.32), newest drivers for everything. It didn't happen with Win98, but it happens with Win2k. I even tried using Standard PC instead of ACPI. No luck. And of course I have an SB Live!

Still skipping and crackling with mp3s?

Since Win2k sees my DSL Modem as an ATM connection, I believe my MTU is at 9180. Not SURE, though. In the registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{1D8E7004-5DE9-43BF-9F87-46B5DC6664D4} MTU = 9180. If my MTU is set to 9180, this is a bit high, no?
