Yeah bwoiee.
I have no idea what possessed me to do this, but I bought a 300x CF card and a CF-to-IDE adaptor to use it with, then I set it to be my Z: drive and put a 1.8GB pagefile on it. I figured it would benefit from the virtually-nonexistent random seek times that FLASH [...]
a free cd/dvd/image burning program? I’ve used Nero in the past and was just wondering if there is anything better out there right now? Thanks.Nero is indeed a bloated piece of crap. I use Deepburner Free.
on XP, nero was excellent. it doesn’t work for me on vista so i switched to cdburnerxp which works, [...]

I get this message when i try and run this program.
How can i go about fixing it?
It’s a bug in the program. It may be because you’re trying to run it on a platfrom that it doesn’t support (ie Vista vs XP)
Western Digital Mybook 500 gig. It worked when I opened it, kind of. I was getting "delayed write error blah blah" and the contents of the drive would appear to be empty. If i clicked properties, everything was zero.
I plug it into my laptop which is vista, and it sees it just fine. So I [...]
So i’m looking to buy a new combo drive(DVDRW/CDRW). Are SATA drives better/faster?I tried one in the last system I made – I wouldn’t recommend it and it’s mostly because DOS doesn’t like it. Besides, you have an IDE channel, might as well use it.
Did you just say ‘DOS?’
Haven’t built my new computer yet, going to use Vista Business 32 bit. It’s the only version I could get from the Academic Alliance. I know I only get a max of 4gb, or is it it 3.1gb? Or what is it really?
The video card memory counts against the 4gb, right? So if I [...]
Ok, its now my turn to be called a noob and a dumbass, because I have a stupid problem I cant google.
I just got a laptop, dell 5100 from the parents. its an old 2.4ghz unit that needs a reinstall of windows. I reinstalled XP pro, everything went smoothly. Then when I restarted the dell, [...]
I have a Dell Dimension E310 computer with a bad DVD CD ROM drive. I need to reload XP. How can I boot XP installation CD ROM off an external USB DVD CD ROM? Is this even possible? Thanks.Plug the drive in, go into the BIOS during startup (usually Del, Esc, [...]
think it probably is but just to confirm..
when I try and load a video my screen goes blank on/off and the CPU hits 100% usage. If I leave the video running the blank screens become more occurent until the PC hangs/reboots.
pretty similar to this guy really
but my PC doesn’t need a better PSU [...]
