Problem solved. Took it a local compshop and (after an hour of trying to do it without a stuffy drive) they hokoed one up, got it inst'd, then took it out. I am SO angry with Microsoft!!! They are so COPULATING pathetic!!! *try to enter a zen-like state to calm down and not break varsity keyboards*

So what exactly should I have on there? Im currently on Asus's support page and the only thing they have for download for the K8S-MX is a bios update. No, wait... *dig around a bit more* AHA! They DO have a floppy-sized download for the RAID drivers. But its from 28 October 2004. Hmmm... [Female dog...

"Press F6 to install a third party RAID driver..." I did, inserted the motherboard CD, and nothing happened. Why force the user to mess up the look of their case with a stiffy drive? Why not include a generic SATA driver (even if it would mean the SATA drive would only transfer at, say, 20% of the s...

Im installing XP Pro on a brand new machine with a 200GB SATA drive. It is on the primary SATA channel. The DVDRW drive Im installing from is on the primary IDE channel. The BIOS picks up both drives correctly. In true form of modern pc's THERE IS (thankfully) NO STIFFY DRIVE. When I boot up and sta...

If it wouldn't get us the chance to get chucked off the forums I would say "Who cares? We can't legally get it in SA anyway!" But since it could, I won't.

I want to not have to manually change the cables to get into Linux and get into Windows. Currently I am sitting with an open case and plugging out my Windows drive and plugging in my Linux drive in order to access Linux. Hmmm... I wonder if its not a simple case of moving grub to the Windows drive. ...

@Synkronos>I've used partition magic a few times before and its really good, only let me down once. However, last time I checked it cant hand linux partitions. @amdretard> Nice nick. Im not at my machine currently so I cant give down-to-the-byte sizes: hda-10G, 60G, 10G unallocated hdb-10G, 15G, 20G...

I currently have three hdd's. hda is 80gigs which currently has two partitions, 10 gigs for XP pro 70 for the rest of my stuff. hdb is 80 gigs (the two drives are the same make and model seagate drives) with the first 10 gigs for windows 98 (for old dos games :twisted: ), 15gigs for / and 20 or so f...

I think also a good tip would be to increase/decrease settings INCREMENTALLY! Little bit by little bit by little bit...

Hate to do this to your idea, but what about ergonomics? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome anybody? Secondly, if you need to quickly tap a key with your (presumably) right hand, then what? And the ball scratching IS a valid point, I mean, what if your underpants starts to creep...?
