I hope I'm not out of line taking this to this forum. If I am I'm sorry, but I have tried several forums here and at ABIT and I either get no answers or I get ans. that really aren't ans. they are more like maybe's.
1. I was hijacked by a nasty called whenu and was able to get it off my system, but either the highjacker or the act of removing it has rendered my automatic http nill. That is, I can no longer type anandtech.com and hit go. If I do I get a banner saying microsft cannot find anandtech.com check your spelling or your path. I can only get it to search by typing http://www.anandtech.com. Anandtech is only an example, it happens with any URL. So I guess I'm asking how do you fix your http? Please be gentel, I'm only about one step above novice and notice I said about.
2. I have an ABIT IS7 MOBO and I would like to go to a RAID 1 array. My chipset allows RAID but I am not sure if I can add a SATA 150 120GB HD, to my ATA 133 120GB, which serial via. a Serilell 2 adapter, and if I can would I be smart to make the SATA the master. Or, should I get an identical ATA 133 and put a second Serilell 2 on it.
I just thought It might improve my system speed a little with a SATA in the mix.
Sorry again if this isn't highly technical but just thought since no one seems to have an answer that maybe it is high tech. Thank you.
