Hard Drive Issue - Operating System Not Found
Purchased a new 80gb hd today. Selector was on slave so connected it up, started pc and it came up with something on the lines of "operating system not found". Not sure why, i looked at my existing hard drive, it's set to cs (cable select?) I changed it to master and started up again without the new hd in, again it came up with the operating system error. Any advice chaps?

Add Storage To C: Operating System Drive Partition
Is it possible to add some space to a partition (in my case, c:) that has a windows (server 2003) installation on it already? I'm hoping i can so i don't have to re-install windows after adding space to the partition after wiping it out.

Max Operating Temp For A Hard Drive
I have a hm500li and its running at 48c-57c all the time, gets to 57c when i do things like scan the whole hard drive for bad sectors and stuff. It says its max operating temperature is 55c but i got this from a chick who had it in her laptop since she bought it, only reason she left me with it was she got a ssd. So is this safe? Its in my 1000he, is there any way to help cool it?

Error Loading Operating System
I have been trying for the last 6 hours to get this to work. The board is a dfi nfii ultra and an athlon xp-m 2500+ (not overclocked yet). Trying to install windows xp will give me this error, it copies the files and then retarts and one of these two errors come. I changed the hard drive, still no luck. Changed the ide channel of the hd and still gives me those errors when it goes to boot. Tried fdisk /mbr and fixmbr from the repair console.

New System Old Hard Drive
I have an old hard drive that has those old ribbon connections to transfer data to the mother board. I have a new computer that mostly uses those cool little ata (i think that is what they are called) connections. The new computer has a vista os. I opened up the case and i was surprised to see on the motherboard a wide ribbon connection and so i connected the old hard drive and a free power connection. When i turned on the computer, the system started up like usual and did not notice the new hard drive. I went to the control pannel and did an automatic add hard drive call and it did not find the old hard drive. Any suggestions?

Use Old Hard Drive With A New System Without Reformat
Im currently putting together a new computer, but i still want to use my old hard drive. Do i have to reformat the harddrive or can i just connect it and it will load all the new hardware normally along with xp. I do know for sure i have to probably uninstall my old graphics drivers and sound drivers.

Hard Drive, Not System, Randomly Restarting
I recently noticed that one (maybe 2) of my hard drives power off and power on a few seconds later. I have a dual boot system and it seems that the boot disk w/ xp is the one with the issue. I will be using vista and i will hear a drive power down and then restart/spin-up again - similar to the sound when the whole system powers down and powers on, respectively. This happens regardless of load and seems to happen randomly.

How To Install Another Sata Hard Drive Into System ?
I'm installing another hard drive into my system, so i can put linux on it. When i opened the case i found out the the alienware system used sata not a regular ata hard drive. I never installed an sata hard drive with another one already in there. I'm buying another serial ata 15-pin female-to-4-power connector / serial ata adapter, which looks like this: and a sata hard drive, i also have extra serial sata cable which look like this, and i know go into the motherboard: but is that all i need? I'm confused on how the new hard drive is going to get power, or do i hook up the black end (14 pin) to the new hard drive then hook the 4 pin white part to the female port on the far right hand corner of the old sata hard drive already in my system and thats it? Or do i just connect the connect the black 14 pin into the sata hard drive then connect the white end to that hanging power cord by my ram?

Large Hard Drive Transfers Bring The System To A Crawl
I've got all the proper/latest drivers for the system installed. Using pata drives, dma on, high performance mode on. What could it be, an awful pata controller on the cheap motherboard? The single core a64 3800+ didn't behave like this when large file copy operations were underway.

Use Laptop Hard Drives In Raid 5 Array For Whs System Drive
One thing i don't like about whs is the lack of failure protection for the system drive. If the system drive dies the whs is toast. I have an adaptec 3805 hardware raid card ( 8 x internal sas/sata ), and am considering putting the os on a raid 5 array. Doesn't need to be be particularly big in capacity, but small in physical volume occupied by the drives and low power consumption. To this end i am considering a super-micro 8 2. 5inch drives into 2 5. 25inch bay module, and a set of seagate 7200. 3 laptop hard-drives, probably 4 500gb in a raid 5. The 7200 drives don't use much more power than the 5400 drives. I checked the data sheets. Data is currently on 3. 5inch seagate drives
How crazy is the idea of using laptop hard-drives ( 7200rpm or otherwise ) in a raid array?
The raid array would be transparent to whs as it would be done in hardware.

Does A Sata Drive Make Ide Drive System Faster ?
Does a sata drive make my ide drive system faster? I have dell dimension 2350 with pentium iv 1. 8ghz cpu and 512mb of memory. The motherboard does not have a sata connection. So i installed pci adaptec serial ata raid 1210sa card with one 80gb sata drive. Now i need test the speed of the sata drive verses ide drive. Is there any software that will test the speed of both sata drive and ide drive?

Seagate Drive Failed - System Unable To Read From The Drive
The drive in question is a seagate barracuda 7200. 11 500 gb, with original firmware being sd15. As i've got to know of their "built-in failure", i've immediately flashed the firmware to the current available sd1a. I thought it will prevent from the drive failing. Now a few days ago i was happily using my computer without a hitch. At one moment os was unable to read from the drive and rendered it unusable (the gui at least), and the mouse cursor freezes for a few seconds in one second delays. This behaviour stopped immediately as i disconnect the drive from the motherboard.could that have been caused by me hot plugging the drive a few times? Or is it the drive itself and nothing can be done now? The system will boot with the drive connected but it will take very long. I've got maximus formula motherboard and two 500 gb's in raid0 for os partition. One wd 500 gb, one seagate 1tb, and the drive in question.

Windows Xp System Crash Cause Of No Hard Disk Space
I have a windows xp operating system. April 1 major crash-couldn't reboot (no hard disc space), april 2 conducted system recovery, redownloaded: ad aware, spybot. Panicware popup stopper, sygate, avg antivirus, blackice, ace mega codecs. Total remaining hard disc space 31. 1 gb, 3 april computer started to switch off automatically sometimes every 10 minutes sometimes went for hours without switching off (this problem has now mysteriously disappeared), remaining disc space 25. 4 gb, carried out a disc clean up, avg reported no viuses detected. Just to be sure i downloaded norton which came with the computer but i had never utilized before. Did an update and full scan-no viruses detected. So my question is where did the 5 plus gbs go overnight? Or perhaps a more sensible question would be, how can i track it down?

Multiple Operating Systems
Is it possible to have 2 operating systems running at the same time? Say, in a scenario where you have 1 cpu (say for the sake of the scenario intel with ht, giving you "2" cpus) and 2 hd's both with 1 os a peice, and a dual screen setup (2 vid cards)
Is it in anyway shape or form possible to have 1 screen display one os, and the other the other os?
Or, is this even possible in dual cpu computers? I can see plenty of reasons why this probably wouldn't work, but then i think and wonder why it shouldn't. Also, another question/thought that arises would be, if it isn't possible to do it nowadays, wouldn't it be possible to write some program that can load both, have them on their respective screen but only have the single cpu acutally work on one at any given time? What i mean by this, is lets say you have windows one screen and linux on the other, then couldn't x program just be made so that when y screen is active, the cpu runs z operating system and when m screen is active it runs n operating system?

Is Usb Hard Drive Safer Than Normal Hard Drive ?
At the moment i have about 2t of data over 5hard drives, most of then films i have converted to avi from home as i live in uni halls the rooms are small, i am worried that leaving my pc on all the time will lower the life of my hard drives with data on, do you think it would be a good choice to put them into a usb drive and that way i only use them when i need? Is usb hard drive safer than normal hard drive ? Or am i just being silly?

Wireless Mouse Operating Time
When a wireless mouse has a rating for "operating time" (such as many on newegg that say operating time: 18 months, for example), does that mean how long the battery is supposed to last, or how long the mouse is expected to live?
