    Vista OEM DVD 'hacking'

    First off, I think this should be legit...(I hope) At work we don't have a volume license for XP, but I was able to take a Dell OEM XP Pro CD and take a VLK key from HP and from Lenovo, and make Custom OEM Clean XP Install CD's (using the VLK key for the respective OEM bypassing the need for...

    PC Multi-CD games to DVD

    Looking to convert some Multiple CD games I have (KOTOR 1, X-Men Legends II and others) to 1 DVD and have it installable as such. Copying all the files to a folder, creating an ISO out of it doesn't work, so I'm assuming there's a file that needs to be edited so I'm not asked for CD #2, 3 &...

    I recently made an image of my 180GB HD onto an 80GB HD using Ghost 2003. The image says it was created successfully (so I thought). I wiped the 180GB and tried to manually extract data from the Ghost image using Ghost Explorer in Windows. I received an 'Image corrupted' message and nothing...

    possible IDE controller issue (Hardware issue)

    I'm usually good at this, but this one is kinda making me pissed. Bought an Epox 8RDA a while back and the IDE controllers on it work fine. It overclocks fine (as long as I'm running an o/c friendly BIOS) and passes Prime95, Sisoft, 3Mark2k1/2k3, etc. PCI/AGP are locked @ 33/66 so no issues...

    Dtek TC-4 or Spir@l block?

    Not the Rev 2 TC-4, but the 'regular' version. I already have the Spir@l waterblock and I can get a TC-4 for a very good price hence why I'm considering it. Should I even bother and how much of a difference is there between the Spir@l, the TC 4 rev 1 and rev 2?
