Hello, I get POST Error code 3200 in different servers and slots when booting. What is Error Code 3200? Controller is identified (Firmware 5.11), but not accessible. Configuration utility says: "BIOS erased" I like to flash the bios as you recommend: "Place download jumpers on the

I posted last week about VERY slow boot up with this board and 2 Serial ATA drives. One is a Western Digital 360GD 36 Gig SATA as primary, the other is a Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 at 160 Gig as secondary, both formatted NTFS and using single partitions of the whole capacities. A bios update on...

I want to add a second internal HD for my Compaq Presario 7594. I am not sure what I need. I have been told the drive that is in it has a DMA/ATA-33 Ultra interface. Does that mean that is the only type of drive I can put in it? Thank you in advance, tom

It is unlikely to be Windows or software's issue. Go to Yamaha web page, try to find if they have a firmware upgrade for the drive you have, I am sure they should have. Download the right firmware version is important, upgrading is simple but need being careful. good luck vince ...

2.5 to 3.5 interfaces are common (to use your laptop drive with your desktop IDE interface). BUT I am looking for 3.5 to 2.5 interface (IDE Hard-drive to connect to my 2.5 laptop interface). Assuming the 2.5 interface puts out enough power for the bigger 3.5 HD, is there such and interface. I just...

This is the first time I have owned a laptop. It took me dozens of hours to setup Windows XP, install my applications and customize my environment. I backup my data files often, but this doesnt help me if my laptop is lost or stolen or my hard drive fails. I will have to start from scratch to...

Hi there, One of our servers has a Highpoint 370A Raid controller on board, which is currently unused. The server is running with 2 disks, one with the OS (windows 2000 server, 20 GB) and one data (including exchange - 60 GB). Is it possible to set up a RAID 1 configuration by adding 2 more...

All right, so I have become a victim of my own negligence. I thought only other people's hard drives die. Wrong. However, I am hoping there is a chance I can fix my malfunctioning hard drive. Here's the problem: recently, I tried to turn on my computer and it wouldn't. For several seconds...

Hi, I have an SATA hard drive which I'd like to connect to a motherboard without SATA. I bought an IDE to SATA converter for £18 but the drive isn't detected at all. However when I connect an IDE hard drive to my other motherboard with SATA using the adaptor, it works. I don't know why it works...

Latest in a series of stupid question. I'm adding a second drive in a Compaq Deskpro 6000. Bought the correct IDE cable (badly overcharged by CompUSA, but didn't want to wait for mail order to save the $12). Got the removeable tray and such installed and BIOS recognizes the drive. So, the next...

Hi all, I have a problem that I can't seem to think of a way around... I recently upgraded my system from an old POS intel chip&board to a newer 1.3 athlon. I have an Seagate ST340810A 40Gig HDD in it. The old motherboard couldn't handle more than 32Gig, but luckily there is a jumper on the...

Is there a drive imaging program that will let me image ONLY the C:\Windows & the C:\Program Files folders to allow for a quick restore of just the operating system (win98se) and my current programs? My C: drive is 20GB but 16+GB are mp3 & other data files that are already backed up to my second...

Using Maxtor Ultra ATA/133 IDE contoller with two WD drives (80GB, 120GB), each with 3 partitions. System uses a Chaintech 6BTM Slot1 motherboard (BX chipset) with Award BIOS, Celeron 1400 MHz processor in slotket, 448MB RAM with Windows 98SE. Internal IDE controller has 6GB and 2GB HD drives...

Can anyone advise me about disaster recovery of Backup Exec files? A small charity whose PCs I look after recently had its office flooded by a burst water main. The PC was destroyed, and the backup CDs (which were unfortunately kept in the same office) were immersed. I managed to retrieve most...

Hi, I've got a problem using hardware compression with a Seagate STT20000A IDE Travan TR-5 tape drive. I am using the backup program that is native to Windows 2000 Server and can't get more than 10GB on a tape. These tapes should handle up to 20GB of data if compressed. I have selected the 'use...

I bought my son a Diamondmax 8 drive a few weeks ago and was suprised by how quiet it was. Yesterday, I bought myself a Diamondmax 9 120GD drive, and its noiser than the three year old WD 30GB drive it replaces. I makes what I'd consider normal seeking noises (*clicking*) on the old WD drive, but...

Brendon, I am not sure, but I have a theory. My guess is that your windows and other software installation images are in that 1143 MB non dos partition. Your floppy probably wants to access the files on that, but it can't because you can only have one c: drive which is the new active partition that...

Hi, as title, in general, which one "should" be a better choice? The Seagate ST3160023A has 2MB cache while the Western Digital WD1600JB (both are 160GB) has 8MB cache, but I'm not sure whether the cache would really matter for the average performance.... any comments or thoughts? Is there any...

I am looking for software that will copy the entire content of a hard drive to CDs and enable a restore to a new drive. So it will have to have a boot disk to DOS or Linux and be self contained. I have Casper XP2 that does this to another drive. It works without any problems. It creates a...

I was doing a partition merge (C: and D:) but the process stopped without error message. It seems I lost partion D:. XP reports this as free space, Partition Magic says it is unallocated. After thorough web search I found a tool findpart by Svend Olaf Mikkelsen and generated following report. I do...
