For no apparent reason, I lost the D: drive in Win2K. It shows up on the BIOS POST, so I know it's there. The IDE channel is present in Device Manager. Devide Manager also reports that the physical drive is present and working properly. It just does not show up in Win2K. What is going on and what...

Could someone advise me on where to buy "quiet" case & cpu fans. Have bought a couple on ebay but to loud. Maybe brand name also. Thanks for any help.

Almost every time I reboot my Win2K/SP4 system, CHKDSK runs because Win2K detected a "corrupt ntfs filesystem" on the boot disk. Every once in a while I get a BSOD instead, in which case I have to move the bad disk to D: and run CHKDSK manually from inside Win2K. In both instances CHKDSK fixes the...

Does the standard video have a composite video out? I believe you need a special DB connector with an RCA jack on one end. If so, can you play DVDs on your computer and view them with an ordinary TV that has Line In? I assume you can connect the Line Out from the sound to the TV Line In with a...

I have been evaluating the Enermax ES-352 3.5" PATA HD backup system for a couple months now. It works roughly as advertised in the backup mode if you are careful about what disk-based s/w you are running. However, the manufacturer is unwilling to support the unit in terms of providing extra trays...

Let's say you have two hard disks on the IDE controller. The first one is a master on channel 0 and the second one is a master on channel 1. Both are active boot disks with the operating system present. The boot.ini file specifies where the operating system is located....

Hi all, I have just bought a LG 1750SQ LCD monitor and is puzzled by the fact that this monitor does not know when to go to sleep. When I power down the machine, the monitor keeps displaying this message box "Check Signal Cable", albeit it moves around the screen much like a screen saver. Of...

Hi, Does anyone know how an LCD monitor using a 15-pins VGA cable can tell if the cable is plugged into a powered down machine and not plugged in at all? Thanks. Bob

Just purchased a 17 in lcd monitor, first one I've owned. This is probably a dumb question, but when the monitor is switched off, should the power supply be turned off also, unplugged. Something about the green light glowing at all times seems to bother me. Then again, unplugging a lot might not...

I swapped out an Ilo DVDR05ZU for an Ilo DVDR05MU. I was told by a CyberHome tech support person that the ZU and MU versions have different chip sets. The "servo" (laser mechanism) appears to be the same because the same "front end" firmware is used on both types. I had previously formatted some...
