I'm gonna go ahead and bump this, if only to give you guys a chance to redeem yourselves. Of course, redemption will only come if you solve my problem. If not, well, I don't like to think what would happen, but I'm sure it'd be messy and uncivilized.

Unfortunately, I've already tried the one click update-to no avail, I'm sad to say.

I'm going to explain to you the problem, and you will fix it for me. Thanks for playing. Here we go. My computer boots up fine with the original v.10 BIOS. When I go to flash the BIOS to v. 15 everything goes smoothly. Even when it finishes the POST, I get the message saying "Updating DMI...

I am directly connecting a DVR recorder to a PC with a crossover cable. A hub/router is not involved. I've set the IP, and the Subnet Mask of the DVR and PC, but still nothing works. The only thing left is the Gateway. My questions is, what must I, or do I even have to, set the Gateway...

Thanks for the info. I'll go pick up one tonight.

But after the format, it starts installing XP, which I do not want on the extra drive.

OK, I just got a 120GB HD, formatted and installed XP. I also have another 20GB HD that has an install of Win XP. My question would be, is there a way to totally format the 20GB with the Win XP disc without installing XP? I've already tried to format the drive through Windows and the command...

Hello all, I just got finished networking 4 computers at home through a router. We have 3 workstations and 1 file server. I was wondering if there is a native program in windows that will allow me to send a message to the other three computers on our network. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to...

Well, an update for all who helped. I'm sure you've been waiting anxiously for an update. Wait no more. My computer will be as follows: Abit IC7 Pentium 4 2.8c 512MB Corsair Twin something or other WD SE 120GB HD from Office Max Antec PLUS660AMG case with a 330w True Power PSU This brings...

You guys have been great so far, don't stop now. A call to arms bump, if you will...

Thanks for the info all, AgaBooga, I'm looking at anywhere between $1300 and $1500 total. I'm still on the fence about SCSI. Could I use one SCSI drive, as well as a regular ATA (actually 3) drives? Or would I have to choose one format exclusively over the other? If I could use all the...

You guys aren't getting off that easy. Bump up the jam, bump it up...
