Re: What a Noob!

yes, but for newer stuff it is best for noobs to use cable select

for more experienced users m/s is better but i generally use cs because im alway mixing and matching drives that way i dont have to double check everything especially in those oem cases that have little room. most of my old stuff is no longer being actively used, if it ever would be then i would fix it

Re: What a Noob!

I've once fixed an old Compaq PC (P3 era). A TV repairman attempted to fix it and connected CPU cooler power cable to some unpowered thing (don't remember exactly what it was) so that the CPU cooler was not working.
And the PC owner was wondering why the PC isn't working. The CPU was dead. It was a slot type P3 cpu. I replaced it and also connected CPU cooler properly. Everything worked OK after that.

I like the CS setting because its easy. The PC takes care of the rest. In the past I used to use the "Master Slave" setup.

Re: What a Noob!

Re: What a Noob!

I do but I don't have one installed as of yet. They will work under Hp Home but you have to do magic tricks to make it happen. The cards are designed for MCE. Now I need to reprogram the Hp Compaq with Xp Home first then I will have it to use while I upgrade the Dell to MCE for the TV card. I was going to use my new/old 1 gig Athlon to fill the gap but it turned out to be a POS. I guess I could plug up my Lappy, and use it too. Its sitting right here looking at me. I wonder what it wants now.....Its a Dell too.....LOL
Now for real the Lappy will get its first test this weekend. I bought it for when I travel, Well I'm leaving Friday for five days in the mountains of western Maryland with my wife. We will be attending a huge party at my friend farm in Crellin. It works here at home so it should work on the road too. When I got it she was 3rd. hand and busted, and its a Dell too so you never know!!!
