I did but it still does not show up in the disk manager...

I want to add that I'm not indending of moving the XP installation to the RAID volume. I only want to save non-OS files there. Just to make it a little clearer....

I have XP Pro installed on a single WD Raptor. I now want to add 4 more drives in a RAID5 configuration to my system which is based on a ICHR10 chipset. The BIOS is configured, the RAID is configured, the raid volume appears in the device manager with no indication of any error. The Intel...

I ended up with the NSK1380 and am quite happy with it. It's actually not as noisy as I thought. I considered replacing the PSU fan with a quiter one but the unit is actually quite enough. Even the stock cpu cooler stayed... lol. All in all one happy customer here. Thanks for all your...

great feedback, guys, thanks a lot. I'm going with an E8500 dual-core which only has 65W instead of the 95W quad-core. this should make it easier to keep the case cool and quit as Brainonska511 suggested. That is, unless somebody can tell me where to find a Socket P motherboard .... :)

What do you think about these cases then: Antec NSK2480 w/ 380W PSU Apevia X-Qpack2 w/ 500W PSU Apevia X-Qboii w/ 500W PSU Foxconn DH839-MT300K with 300W PSU? I like to vertical design of the Apevia X-Qboii and Foxconn cases.

i usually have a lot of apps open such browsers, email (outlook), photo editing software, as well as VMWare Workstation which on the current machine spins the hard drive all the time. With 8GB I hope to limit hard drive activity. I do not intend to play any high-end games with this unit.

I'm trying to build a new SFF based on an Asus P5Q-EM mobo with 8GB of RAM. I will add a 150GB hard drive as well as an ordinary DVD-ROM. I found a cheap case made by "IN WIN", the IW_BT610T.300BL, which houses a 300W PSU. My concern is adequate power. Is 300W enough to drive the mobo and a...

check out eCQ from Cyberscience.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My C partition consists of 2 80GB drives in a striped partition (RAID0), totalling 160GB. I want to resize this partition to create a new one. Knowing that I cannot resize while running Windows, I used Acronis...

wiin, i checked out your link. sounds interesting enough to try it out. thanks for your help.

There is plenty of information out there about how to set up a dual-boot with XP and Vista. The result is that XP sees the Vista partition and vice versa. That's not what I want. I want two comletely independent installations of either OS; XP should not see the Vista install, and Vista should...

Thanks for your advice!

I have a network of PC's with IP addresses from 10.5.6.50 to 10.5.6.63. They all use subnet mask 255.255.255.224. I have a group of servers which I want the PC's to have access to and I was thinking of assigning IP addresses in the 10.5.6.40 -.48 range. For those servers, I would like to...

Guys, we're waiting for your feedback! Maybe you're so drawn into playing games with your new headsets that you forgot all about writing about your experience....
