I have hard which was previously running as a master drive. I hooked it up as a slave and now I can only read it in safe mode. When I try to format the slave drive from Disk Management it goes upto 99% and then say 'hard was not formatted' I can't access in normal mode. I keep getting errors. I disabled all background software....even anti-virus. Nothing doing.
My OS is windows XP. P4. Can someone help me. I want to know why this is happening. If any more information about my computer is needed let me know.

I created a temporary folder on my desktop, used it for a few hours, and deleted it. And it came back! So I deleted it again, and, well, it just keeps coming back. I checked under the properties, and un-checked 'read only' and tried again. Nothing seems to be working. What is going on?!?!?

OK, in plain english, can someone tell me if it is possible for me to view what is on my computer monitor on my TV? I have some videos on my computer I want to watch full-screen on my TV. The computer and TV are about 3 feet from each other. I have no idea what jacks or plugs or whatever they're called I have, so if you can tell me EXACTLY what I need and where to get it, that would be awesome. Thanks!

Hello, i recently bought a Portable 60GB Western Digital External Hard drive (FAT32). When i plugged the USB cable into the computer it seemed like it was having trouble loading onto my computer and the HD was making weird noises, i went to the shop and got an exchange.

I then took the new hard drive to my parents and tried it on there computer and it loaded fine, went back to mine & tried it in my computer and still it dint work. It sometimes says that its found a new device but it doesn't show in My Computer, The hard drive still makes funny noises when its plugged in, like its having difficulty loading.

As you can see in the picture the device manager shows its there, but it WILL NOT show in my computer. Ive tried all possible USB Ports on my Comp. and the USB ports are USB 2.0 compatible. Ive tried it in two computers and it worked fine, both with Windows XP SP2. Please Help!!!!

what it show on my system:

ok, I have a Dell Optiplex GX-260, with a CD-RW/DVD drive, which I have played DVD's on in the past, with no problem. I have Cyberlink PowerDVD 6. when I put a DVD in the drive, it won't recognise it as a DVD. and it says in PowerDVD that there is no DVD in Drive E. (thats my DVD drive) So what's wrong with it?

Thanks in advance!

My friends monitor does not work on his laptop (i think because the video card is fried [since an alternate monitor does not work either]), but his computer boots up fine. Is there a way you can start up the computer, get to DOS, then type a command to send a folder('My Documents') to an external hard drive.

I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter.

Asus p4c800 deluxe probelm?
Hi,
I tried the monitor on another PC and it works correctly VGA and DVI
connections.
I tried what you said but, without memory the PC doesn't start and I hear
long beep and two shorts beeps continuously.
So I tried to install just one memory bank.
In the first and second slot the pc doesn't start, in the third and fourth
the pc start ...
So I connect DVD and HD to try it ...
When I start the pc I received messagge "overclocking failed press F1 to
enter to setup or press F2 to load default parameters".
Press F2 Windowx XP start up and I started CPU-ID.
You can see the result in the image ...
The motherboard work ad 100 mhz and not at 200 ... so CPU 1300 until 2600.
I tried to modify BIOS parameters without result, every time I restart the
PC I received the error "overclocking ...".

If you have suggestions ...

I've been looking at different optical drives and the price range really varies. 90% of this computer will be for gaming and I may burn CDs/DVDs from time to time. Any suggestions or things I should look for when I go to buy one? Thanks !

A friend asked me to check his computer.
When the PC is powered on the speaker emits 1 long beep - 2 beeps then a funky sound.

I've a uploaded a video with my cellphone:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MFEVSRqBhQ

My guess is the video chip is damaged and so the image does not come up on the monitor.
Do you think he should buy a new motherboard?

I have 2 towers, one with Win ME and one with Win 98. I was hoping to connect the two so I can use all the hardware of both simultaneously without using two different systems. Is this possible? If I can do this, will it combine the power of the processor and /or increase the memory size?
