Try to Run Fdisk after drinking a couple of these:

http://www.malt-shovel.com.au/frames.asp?page=more.asp

I was doing fine until the second bottle - this stuff is 6.8% after that I couldn't tell my Extended from my Primary Dos Partition - most confusing!

Then I realised after adding my new WD120 Gb Hdd, that there weren't enough Molex connectors for my old Hdd as well
I have the following installed:

Matsu****a DVD
Asus CDR/W
WD 120 Gb Hdd
Seagate 20 Gb Hdd
Panasonic FDD
Thermaltake Volcano 7+ (with variable speed)

With all of this I haven't enough connectors on my crappy 300 W PSU I am upgrading my PSU to an Antec Truepower 480W to try and resolve other issues but now I ma worried about the number of Molex Connectors - anynbody know how many they have as standard?

2 bottles eh... Must be a lightweight.

About the power supply. Have you looked at the vantec ion 400W? Tis cheap and quite the good power supply.

I have issues with my A67V333/XP 2100 not getting the right speed (1333 Mhz opposed to 1733) so want the best solution realistically

[Maro]

Actually it is funny - I used to do so much DOS work like Fdisking but nowadays at work, with Ghost and images it is really rare to touch it - last year I bought some laptops from work and had to copy windows files down from a Novell Network to install - it took me and a colleague quite a while to remember


the Beer definitely didn't help!

:banana :banana

[The Disturbance]

i love how forums beep out Matsh!ta drives...:rofl2

[Maro]

My Fav is "****ney"

Gone!

[Maro]

Gone for this:

MAX POWER!

10X HDD Molex!

Power supply suitable for power-hungry ATX applications Gold-coloured, has three fans (2x intake/1x outlet) with gold grills Fans are temp-controlled, or can be manually set to 2 different speeds Long ATX lead with black netting sheath Incl Australian power-point plug lead & external on/off switch 10 x HDD connectors, 2 x FDD connectors & P4+ AUX Power leads

[wazman]

That's a lot of power supplies...

[Maro]

I know - I didn't even notice I had ran out of Molexes (Molii? What is the plural?) on my PSU - Added another drive and went - Damn!

Like I said I was going to buy a new PSU (Antec 430) to try and fx an old problem - this should help!

Cheaper too
:sun_smile :sun_smile

[Maro]

?

:confused: :confused:

[Maro]

for what? Molii?
:rofl2 :rofl2

[Maro]

Split the Molii yourself or buy splitters?

[Maro]

Need a new Power supply anyway!

As Austin pawers would say:

Molii,Molii,Molii,Molii,Molii,Molii!

man if this doesn't work then the only other thing is some Corsair Ram - if not that then the board is dying!

I hate Asus - look under Google for "A7V333+problems"

Hmmm...I dropped Asus about 3 mobos ago. I've since bought 2 Gigabytes and an MSI. The MSI was not bad, but I've fallen in love with Gigabyte mobos. The dual BIOS is simply amazing and wonderful peace of mind to have and their new features like the DPS and whatnot is great.

Also, I thought it was the Irish who were known for drinking...

[egarrard]

The James Squire Porter looked really good!

[tantousha]

I got the gigabyte 8PE-667 Ultra and it is one nice mobo, even managed to get my 2.4B P4 up to 3.2ghz.

I'm currently drooling over the new Canterwood and Springdale boards...go have a look at their selection at www.giga-byte.com

It is - a real "Heavy" drink but really smooth. Aussie Beer is excellent - even the cheaper brands are good. This is like their boutique brand - similar to Samuel Adams!

My friend has the same processor as me with a Gigabyte and has no probs!

:mad: :mad:

[Maro]

Indeed! My new PSU rocks - it is Gold!

[Maro]

Nah - it comes in Gold!

Fully Sick!

:devil :devil

[Maro]

It's in - just about to fire it up!

[Maro]

Well, good news and Bad:

PSU is sweet - variable speedfans on Auto is sweet!

Didn't fix my processor wrror though!
:mad: :mad:

Unfortunately my new WD 120GB is cactus! - I installed XP, rebooted and nothing - just an I/O error. Much testing later it seems like the motor is dead on the drive - there is no noise at al when you boot it up - I have reverted back to my old 20Gb and will use W3K server tools to ty nad check it out.

Annoying though - the computer fair sellers are not renowned for their customer service! Luckily I am stubborn enought to stand at the end of their stall and shout how crap they are until they see sense!

:devil :devil :devil :devil

[Maro]

Just got the Reciept back from my Agent (I can claim back parts agaist tax as a contractor) so will ring them today - I will be nice first off......................!|\


:devil :devil :devil

[Maro]

Me and my Buddy have just started Japanes Sword Fighting - I imagine their customer service will greatly improve when we both turn up woth our Bokken

Now that reminds me of something:

[Maro]

Not yet - you start off with HArdwood Bokken and then a BLunt steel blade - eventually (after at least 3 years) you get a sharp one. It is cool - as unlike most Martial arts, you cannot go for gradings when you want - it is up to your Master. THere are also only 10 grades

[Maro]

That is cool!

I have made it known to all the Users I suoport that I do Sword and Archery - now they only come to me if there Machines are on Fire!!

:rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2

[Maro]

Serious?

We have Mitsubishi 21Inch Monitors here - we must have got a bad lot as all of them (20) have failed - some spectacularyl! YOu turn them on ansd they go BANG!!!

Look around to see users hiding under desks!

:rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2

[Maro]

Funny indeed - I warned them not to buy them(they were on Lease) but they went ahead and did it anyway!!):rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 My office is now known as the "Place where Monitors go to Die!"

:rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2

[Maro]

I have 4 right next to my desk sat there - I have to get them repaired (for the third time!) this week. I can't face it as the company that fixes (supposedly) always asks for the S/N which is about 200 digits long!!!

[Maro]

By phone!

[Maro]

That is why they have sat there for 4 weeks collecting dust!:rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2 :rofl2

Not to worry - we are now getting 18.5 inch TFTS!

:banana :banana :banana :banana

[Maro]

Oh yeah baby!

I have a deal with my Boss as well - our machines are leased for 36 months. I get to swap my machine for the fastest one whenever I want - I just tell him that due to all the monitoring apps that I use, my machine isn't up to the job!

:devil :devil :devil

[Maro]

I am at work - it is quite cozy - mown little Den of Iniquity.

[Maro]

Work

Here are my two pcs - my main 21inch and my "Pare webmachine for those websites and attachments you don't want people behind you to see!!

I used to have a desk that was secluded but now i have my back to people - hence the mirror!
