boot hangs after detecting drives by
Dave
On a friends' pc the boot sequence completes the memory check, detects and
identifies the HD and CD drives then hangs. It is not even possible to get
into the BIOS settings.
I'm guessing a problem with the motherboard, perhaps with the BIOS chip
itself. Any ideas?
It happened 'overnight' in that...

HELP: FAILED RAID 0 by
winux
I am guessing I am screwed.
I have a Windows Server that had RAID 0 on it (I didn't set it up that
way, previous tech guy did). It is a ATA/133 RAID built into the
motherboard.
I got a message from the server saying that there is not enough disk
space. So, I slid off the side panel on the case...

Optical Drive: IDE Secondary Master vs Slave by
Bob
When I built this computer I put in 3 removable hard drive bays and 1
NEC 3540 optical drive.
I put the optical drive as IDE Secondary Slave, mainly because it
would only fit in the bottom bay because of the mainboard getting in
the way - so I cabled it as Secondary Slave for convenience.
Most of...

Brasso Rules! by
Bob
I had an old worn video disc - you know the kind with all sorts of
nasty-looking scratches at random as though people played Frisbee with
their dog - and it would not succumb to a successful backup operation.
I retired several times but all I got was read errors towards the end
of a disc that was...

Two Optical Drives On The Same IDE Channel by
Bob
I put my NEC 3540 as Secondary Master and an older LG CD-RW as
Secondary Slave. They were jumpered as M and S - no CS.
The BIOS had no problems identifying them during POST, but Win2K/SP4
hung at the part where it is doing PnP - just before it flashes the KB
lights.
Win2K can handle either unit...
