I just got a lenovo z61t for college, and I love it. I knew I wasn't going to be able to play games on it, but I didn't anticipate how many kids play at school. I have a pentium 4 3gzh w/ an x800xl video card and 3 512MB sticks of 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC 2400). Can anyone suggest a tiny...

btw - these are the drives i purchased - Lacie 250gb - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822154043 WD 120gb - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 2 enclosures -...

I just purchased a thinkpad z61m from lenovo for college. The laptop only comes with a 80GB drive, so I'm looking to purchase either an external hard drive, or preferably it seems in terms of price, a USB/Firewire Enclosure along with a large IDE Hard Drive. This seems to be the most popular on...

OK BUT I STILL HAVE MY ORIGINIAL PROBLEM... heh. Device 0 still says current transfer mode: PIO Mode. and I had to change transfer mode to DMA if available. So im back where i started.

Thanks tweekah, i dont know why pata was turned off, but it was. I turned both on and just started windows up. Got a couple of errors, but it seemed to recognize the device. Let me give it a whirl.

ok tweekah ill try that. btw i tried system restore. I only had one point I could do it, about 5 hours before i uninstalled the controllers, but windows failed to restore to that point..
