Hi Dakota81 I had a go at what you suggested, no luck though. My DVD drive is not recognised in Windows even though the device manager says it is working properly. Do you think it could be something as simple as the DVD drive no longer working (broken in some way?) in other words a new drive...

Hi After a house move I have set my PC up, I couldn't remember which USB port I had plugged a steering wheel into so chose one of the 2 on the back of my PC. This seems to have thrown a major IRQ error up as my DVD drive no longer works. (It's powered up but recognises no disc), I have checked...

Funnily enough I did a similar thing. I set it as Master, disconnected my internal master HD and booted from a floppy disk, set fdisk, formated the drive etc..... then installed Windows to it. Kept it as Master but changed the jumpers on my old master HD to slave and re-booted, everything works...

Hi I have upgraded my BIOS to the latest version that says I can have a HD up to 27GB in size, so I now have a 20GB HD in a caddy drive set up as a slave and my PC doesn't recognise it (Master HD is an 8.7GB). My PC is a Gateway PII 300 and I have installed the latest BIOS 4A4LL0X0.15A.0023.P18...

Thanks Jim

Hi there I have just upgraded to Windows ME but I cannot find any info on HD sizes. I was limited to certain size hard disks (unless i partitioned them) with my previous version of Win95. Does WinME allow for large unpartitioned hard disks, if so I want to add a new extra HD to my PC. Many...

I have had my PC round to a friend who is a PC Support guy who builds PC's too. We put a new HD with 98 on it in, loaded up the drivers and got Colin McRae 2 to work, "with keys". Tried the origional HD in my machine and Colin McRae again worked - "with keys" but as soon as I...

I have re-installed my AGP card, installed the drivers for it then the newest Detonator3 drivers from NVidia and then installed Directx8. Still crashes Colin McRae 2 though on the language choice screen. I have tried a new game for this card Tiger Woods 2000 and it works fine....do you think my...

I have DX8 on my system now but would you suggest uninstalling and re-installing it now I have my new card in. If so (and this is because I am typing this is in at work and can't see my add/remove list) how do I go about uninstalling it, I can't remember seeing it in my add/remove list? Many...

hc25036 - the board is AGP, before it was Permedia 2 AGP and 2x PCI Voodoo2's in SLI connection.

Help.. I have just replaced a 2d/3d Permedia 2 & 2x Voodoo2 cards in my PC and installed a Pine Group Riva TNT2 M64 2d/3d card. The card is excellent I'm sure and better than my previous cards (32MB on board RAM etc) but......I have installed it, loaded the drivers and even updated the drivers...
