Yes, I know, how silly can I be?

when I started 6 hours ago, bios said the hd was LBA UD33 136gb and
winxp formatted 152618mb. 152.618GB. OK.

now that I've killed the 1st install that did not complete,
winxp is now formatting 152617mb. 152.617GB.  Hmm.?

Where did I loose 1mb of disk space?
Should I tool-wash the hd again?


Sounds like a difference in calculating MB and GB to me.

my memory may be a little fussy but not kidding, this chip was in a bx6 in a 
customer system with xp until the mb blew caps. check in bios and see if 133 is 
available. Like I said, fussy. Still have manuals and original driver disks. 
Have a BH6 dual in the pile also.

I do have slot one cpu's, probably 450, 500, 600, would have to dig in the 
pile. have a bunch of antique cpu's :-D saving for the gold I think. Have some 
slotkets too.

Yeah. Open the PST, it will show up in the left hand column. Then go to 
Export and you can access it from there. Not hard at all.

Can not forward it to you.
Drive crashed and all is lost.

Don't know if it was the Trojan or the removal by by AVG that did it.
Will not try the AVG removal in the future except for a last resort.

links that allows things like the network stack to work.

Try rebooting, see if that helps.  Also try safe mode.  But don't get your

There is a slot one 1Ghz that will run in the BX6, and that was the

You can buy one on Ebay for 20 bucks. http://tinyurl.com/6z48e3

However, the fastest thing to run in a BX6 was a Celeron 1.1GHz at 
100FSB with a slot one to socket 370 adaptor card. These cards simply 
rerouted the pins. It was  a problem free setup. ASUS made the best 
adaptor cards.


There was also a company that made a special slot one card that 
worked with a Cel 1.4 or a PIII 1.4, but that was more problematic in 
that the board itself wasn't designed to run with these CPUs and the 
card did the translation.

Re: [H] acpi

2008-10-17 Thread Brian Weeden
ACPI is an advanced way for the OS to communicate with peripherials, notably
drives.  It's not required but does have some interesting features.

Be careful though.  If you install Windows on a system with the BIOS set to
SATA or IDE communication with drives and then change it to ACPI it's likely
that Windows will not boot.  That's because the driver used to read from the
hard disk is different.  So if you are planning on using ACPI (which does
have some benefits) then turn it on in the BIOS before installin windows.

If you're doing it on a system that already has Windows installed, make sure
you install the drivers in windows BEFORE turning on ACPI in the BIOS.

[H] New laptop drive?

2008-10-17 Thread Gary Udstrand
Really two questions here.  First, I have a new laptop which came with a
160G drive.  Since I cannot add a second drive I am planning on replacing it
with a larger (hopefully faster) drive.  The Seagate Momentus 320G/7200RPM
would give me the space I need and it appears to be a very fast drive.  The
Hitachi and WD Scorpio also get decent reviews, any of these head shoulders
above the others or are they all about the same?

Secondly, I would like to avoid re-installing all my apps (again) and moving
data.  What is the best way to clone my current drive to the new drive?
xcopy?  Ghost?  Free alternatives?   I would like to be able to clone the
drive, and then simply pop it into the laptop and have it boot up and be
ready to go.  :-)   Oh, and I am running Windows XP Pro if it makes any
difference.

Thanks!

Re: [H] New laptop drive?

I think the GParted Live CD will do what Ghost does, for free.

You should be able to put the new drive in a USB to SATA enclosure and 
clone the old drive on the new.

Really two questions here.  First, I have a new laptop which came with a
160G drive.  Since I cannot add a second drive I am planning on replacing it
with a larger (hopefully faster) drive.  The Seagate Momentus 320G/7200RPM
would give me the space I need and it appears to be a very fast drive.  The
Hitachi and WD Scorpio also get decent reviews, any of these head shoulders
above the others or are they all about the same?

Secondly, I would like to avoid re-installing all my apps (again) and moving
data.  What is the best way to clone my current drive to the new drive?
xcopy?  Ghost?  Free alternatives?   I would like to be able to clone the
drive, and then simply pop it into the laptop and have it boot up and be
ready to go.  :-)   Oh, and I am running Windows XP Pro if it makes any
difference.

Thanks!


Re: [H] New laptop drive?

AFAIK from my own experience most consumer hard drives are about the same
these days.  Most people find a brand that works for them and stick with it
until it pisses them off and then they move on.  About the only thing to
differentiate them is the length of warranty.

Gpartd should be able to copy the partition to the new drive and set flags,
but it's not a cloning too per see.  It's a partition tool like fdisk or
partition magic.

I use Acronis for my cloning/backup but it's not free.

 I think the GParted Live CD will do what Ghost does, for free.

 You should be able to put the new drive in a USB to SATA enclosure and
 clone the old drive on the new.

I just did 3 laptops with Seagate Momentus 7200 rpm drives, the old  
ones were slower 4200 or 5400 rpm drives.  I like the 5 yr warranty...


I used an external USB drive connector (like 19 bux from NewEgg) and a  
WinPE or BartPE type boot CD that I downloaded..


Then you can just boot to the CD and ghost from the old to the new  
drive and you are done.  :)

No way man, I vend AMD also... I'd say 95% of my systems are AMD.
For personal I go with whatever the collective sees as best bang for
