    Master/slave vs. cable select

    Can someone please tell me the pros and cons of these two choices? I've always set my drives for master/slave, but I have a situation with my hard drives and it was suggested I set the drives to cable select. Running WinXP on an Athlon system. All my hard drives are Maxtors, various sizes and...

    XP doesn't see hard drive

    On a Win XP system, I added a second (slave) hard drive formerly installed in a system running Win 98 SE. Since it was a slave on the other system, I didn't have to change any jumpers on the second HDD. Both drives are on the same IDE cable. The BIOS sees and identifies the new drive (a...

    XP not seeing hard drive

    3 questions: Do the relative positions of the hard drives on the IDE cable make any difference if the drives are correctly jumpered for master/slave? Can I create a boot floppy for XP from within XP? If I do as you suggest (fdisk/MBR) will that ONLY affect the boot sector, or will it wipe the...

    New mobo-new CPU-new memory-2 beeps!!!

    Just rebuilt my system using an Intel D815EEA2LU socket 370 mobo and a 1.3 GHz Celeron. Used old Mushkin RAM, got two beeps. (might have gotten fried in the same storm that toasted my original mobo). Tried a new stick of 256 MB PC 133 PNY RAM. Still 2 beeps. Using my Riva TNT2 Ultra AGP 1x video...

    Clean install of Win98 SE

    Would someone please give me some step-by-step instructions on doing a clean install of Win98? When would I FDISK and FORMAT? Do I need to set the CD-ROM as my first boot device? At what point do I copy the files from the CD to my hard drive? And which files do I copy? Do I need to create a...

    What's a good socket 370 mobo?

    Does anyone have any experience with the Abit ST6? (Not the raid version) Seems I will be able to use my Riva TNT2 Ultra video card, because it appears to support AGP 1X,2X, and 4X. Otherwise I think I'll have to spring for a new video card too.
