    How do I assign a volume letter to a SCSI hard drive in Windows 7?

    I just got my internal SCSI hard drive up and running, but I just want to back up the data off of it. I connected it to a PCI SCSI adapter and it's detected in Windows, but it's not showing up with a volume letter. Here's what Disk Management looks like: http://i.imgur.com/II6hE.png...

    Good online PC games for 2 to 4 people?

    Trying to find games that are fun with 2 to 4 friends playing at once. Not MMORPG's, those are just blah. Thoughts? I thought maybe Left for Dead would be good, but one guy said he doesn't like it and another guy if afraid of scary things. I think it probably won't work for us.
