Adding bigger drive to old computer by twiceasshort
I was given an old computer from work. When I tried to replace the original 6.4 GB hhd with a Western Digital 40 GB hhd, the BIOS would not recognize the new drive. Would a seperate IDE controller card solve the limitation problem? Thanks in advance

CD Drives on a Promise Controller Card by Yisroel Markov
Greetings, a while ago the onboard IDE controller in my PC went haywire - the BIOS saw all the drives (2 hard drives, CD-ROM, DVD-R), but wouldn't boot, and booting from DOS reported all sort of crap about the hard drives. So I put in a Promise Ultra133 TX2 card, put the HDs on its IDE1 port,...

Has SMART ever successfully predicted failure for anybody here? by Will Dormann
SMART monitoring sounds like a great idea to me. Who better to predict a drive's failure than the drive itself, right? I mean, the drive knows what it's doing internally, such as silently remapping bad sectors, keeping track of how long it takes to spin up, error counts and all that fun...

Network File Server by Bob
What is the minimum configuration for a Windows-based network file server for a small SOHO LAN? Would you use Win2K or XP Pro? The idea is to put disk resources in one machine for ease of maintenance and reduced cost. -- Map Of The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: http://www.freewebs.com/vrwc/
