I am going to try the steps you mentioned above also Ben, I've got the same motherboard and having the same problems as mrkan, I'll let you know if it worked for me.

tfi, The motherboard comes with an e-sata port on the backplane. ASUS calls their e-sata "Sata-On-The-Go" however.. same thing.. different name. Thanks for the input however. I still dont know if I can add a SATA card to the system I have already without having more problems.

Thanks guys, I'll let you know how much of a difference it makes once I install it.

Thanks Paparazi, the IDE drives are old and I want to get rid of them or use them as spares perhaps Eventually I will set this thing up in a raid config but until I have the $$ to get the drives (1TB's) I cant. I do think I will see a larger than minimal increase in boot speeds and file...

Hi all, I am wondering if it is wise to add an additional Sata card to a motherboard that already has 4 sata ports on it. The reason being is I am already using 3 of the 4 ports already, and I wish to get rid of the slower IDE drives, and replace them with SATA II's. Will adding an additional...

I was trying to, UNTIL my entire system crashed, and its still not stable... <sigh>

no, it was a sata drive hooked into a sata channel directly on the motherboard. No idea why.. tried safe mode, tried from the DVD, tried everything, it said it wasnt a valid file etc. ah well.. did I wipe/reinstall and still fiddling with things, but once I get it the way I want it, I am...

Right, thanks again to you all for your input. I've learned once again to never trust Microsoft's "extras" they include. 3rd party beats em every time on secondary applications.

wolluf, I wish I had read your post sooner, I have acronis, and completely forgot I had it, used the Vista backup wizard, ran fine, but when I went to do a restore, it refused to see the drive/file I had did the backup onto.

Ok, after more searching I found out how to bring the filters & plugins into Paint. thank you for checking in anyway!

Hello all, is it possible to use filters & Plugins from photoshop in Paint X3? and if so, what is the proceedure for doing so? Thank you in advance for any help you render.

Thanks guys, I just ran it and it seemed to do exactly what I wanted it to do. I was going to spend money I can ill afford to buying some type of backup strategy and now I dont have to!

I am probably in the wrong area to ask this question but my search didnt turn anything up.

Hi all, first off thanks in advance for all your input.. What I want to know is what software would you all recomend for backing up a hard drive? I have both internal drives I can use or external via Firewire 400. I also have a Plextor 716a DVD dl burner installed so I could also go that...

Gmattey, I built a new pc back in May of this year for myself using an ASUS P5N32-E SLI and an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 and I am EXTREMELY pleased with the system I have. Couple things you need to consider on your build is #1, will the power supply you have work? new Board, new connections. I...
