    I think I have seen this before - but bang me the link anyway please Wolfey - *I am a responsible adult and I promise that I will not use any information to harm other individuals or cause destruction to property*

    £200 Cheaper - Hmmmm well if he is planning on changing some of the bits then this is easily achievable - post what he 'recommends' and lets have a laugh (I mean look :D)

    it makes no difference who runs a country in my opinion - they all have their own agendas and what they want to accomplish and none of them give a **** what happens as long as they achive their own persoanl goals in the meantime

    Well one of my colleagues made me laugh calling the woman on the other side a ''gun toting, anti-abortionist'' I pay no attention to American politics or British for that matter -

    Unfortunately this is true - they only want to sell, and they do not have people that actually know enough about the products to say anything else. And the problem with that is you need to do your own research by people that 'actually' have the same laptops and know what they are talking about

    Sorry - for some reason I was referring to the PS2 - - if there are no USB ports or Ethernet - then no you cannot connect to the net.

    Use NERO and then just burn the disks as DATA disks whether CD or DVD
  8. Dalo Harkin
    The best way to back up data is to CD/DVD as long as they are burnt right and they are protected as in a file and not left out and what not - then the chances of them not working is FAR less than any type of HDD

    I highly agree with Randy and I cannot stress to you - or your friend the DANGERS of using programs like this - they can help out sometimes but they have the potential to completely mess your system up. Stay well away!

    I agree with Wolfey - failing that have you gone into the Graphics driver settings? there is an option called 'force TV detection' try what Wolfey has suggested and then we can go through the option above if it doesn't work.

    Also on that screen shot that you posted - it is showing the drive as FAT32 and not NTFS. when you say it asks for media player - when you plug it in it should bring an autoplay option up - you can select take no action and there is a little box bottom left that says - do not ask me this again - tick that and then that box should never show again

    No problem - if you take the hub out of the equation - as in the device straight into the back of the MOBO - do you get the same message - If so then the ports on the MOBO do not support USB2.0 and if not then the HUB is 1.0
  13. Dalo Harkin
    Weird one with the hub - and as for the HDD activity light staying on it could be lots of things from the wires on the case that connect to the MOBO shorting out. The PSU being on the blink or the MOBO dying -

    USB 2.0 was released in April 2000 - so yours should be - is it plugged in the front or back? is it powered via mains?
  15. Dalo Harkin
    No problem - any issues then you know where we are
  16. Dalo Harkin
    I know that there is some serious debate about this but in my honest opinion Vista is the most stable OS I have used. If you buy OEM - you dont get support anyway - but for the cost of retail vs OEM - there is no question in my eyes - and as for support - who needs it when there is a site like this that can help :D

    If you plug the Hub into the ports at the front of the PC then they are probably USB1.1 the back ports on the motherboard are normally USB2.0 depending how old the Motherboard is. If you have it plugged into the back ports and its still 1.1 then you have technology that is older than the HUB and therefore the hub will run at the reduced speed of 1.1 - is it a powered hub?

    Well............the day is finally here - many moons ago on this day Wolfey was born, and a little birdy told me that he is 51 :eek: (he must have had a hard paper round :D) Enjoy today mate - and later is it Madras washed down with copious amounts of Cider or are you taking a break from the norm?
  19. Dalo Harkin
    Basically what you need to do is buy another HDD and then install it - (take the old one out) and then install the operating system to the new drive and when all thats done set up - you can add the old HDD and then pull any data off that you need onto the new drive - or format the old drive and have it a back up/ storage drive. If you do not want to buy another drive then go to a friends and install your HDD in theirs as an addition drive NOT THE MASTER and then you can pull the data onto CD/DVD or flash and then format the drive and reinstall the operating system

    Go with Vista - as it recognises all the hardware right away - no need to mess about with drivers for the SATA's etc - and the fact that its a newer OS and has many more features than XP - I do have faith in you - BUT things can happen that we cannot control :(
  21. Dalo Harkin
    Have you installed the Intel Chipset driver? When you first built the system it should have been done then. Q6600 chips are notorious for not being compatible with some MOBO's - search my post on AW9D MAX and Q6600 :mad:
  22. Dalo Harkin
    Ah yes the big 60 approaches! :D
  23. Dalo Harkin
    You cannot change a Motherboard and run the same hard drive on the new Motherboard - you need to reinstall the OS and when windows loads you need to run the disk that came with the Motherboard.
  24. Dalo Harkin
    Oh don't worry you will have plenty of time to admire it, when you put it all together do your flight check and press the power button and nothing happens :D
  25. Dalo Harkin
    it's easier to press CTRL+ALT+DEL then task manager, applications tab and then kill the internet process :)
