I am considering buying an Intel motherboard. I heard motherboards from Abit and Asus are pretty good too. Can someone please give me some suggestion?

And what should I focus on to determine a good or bad motherboard?

There is a problem in Win98 OS pcs. The problem is when we place the Pen Drive into the existing USBs they did not identify the Pen drive and ask for the software. What is the software needed to overcome the same?

There are two question that I would like to ask:
1)I have MSI 945P Neo-F motherboard recently I unhooked it completely to check out an upgrade for the motherboard. I didn't see any difference and decided to hook it back when I realised that misplaced my manual and I hav no idea where and how to hook up my tower case to it:
Speakers
USBs
Power botton e.t.c.

If someone can walk me through it or give me a cite for a manual I would greatly apreciate it.

2) I had some troubleshooting with my motherboard befor I unhooked it. On the back at the USB port there are four lights that suppose to turn green when machine is functional. all of them except for the top right ( if you look at the back of the comp) turned red and the machine wouldn't start. I tried the MSI cite but couldn't find the decoder for the light test. If someone can explain to me what that light pattern means or put up a link with the info I would also greatly apreciate it.

I was online today with a Dell technician as he was assisting me with my hard drive disappearing from my PC (earlier post). Anyways, one of the reasons why my PC didn't see my new hard drive was because it was a 200GB hard drive. He told me that my Dell Dimension 8200 can't see it because it's a big hard drive. Never heard of that, is this true? Before I called him, I installed WinXP on it, and it installed fine. I was browsing around the hard drive for about 5 minutes, restarted it and it was gone. So it saw it once, I was able to install WinXP and then it was gone. Does the size of a hard drive really matter, and if it does, what's controlling the size blockage? motherboard? processor? please advise thanks

I was looking to purchase an external hard drive as a 2nd way to back-up files but have no idea what type I should look for. I'd like to purchase one that holds atleast 200 GB, for a reasonable price.
