Hard-drive corruption question by
M Skabialka
I have a hard drive that stopped functioning when other hardware was added
to the system. I ran diagnostics from the manufacturer website which said
nothing was wrong. I have added that drive to three other computers as a
primary or slave, or in an external USB case. Each time the computer will
not boot past the intial windows flag screen, and BSOD shows errors in
ntfs.sys. If I boot to...

How do you set up Vista on a SATA drive? by
M Skabialka
Decided I needed a new PC, so bought and assembled all new components and
started to install Vista Business. The HDD is a 500GB SATA drive, the
DVD/RW is SATA. 8 GB RAM, but took that down to 4 GB since it isn't Vista
64bit edition..
Anyway, Vista started to install but got a BSOD within a minute. Checked
all hardware settings and tried again, and again. Every time it gets a

eSATA Drive Question by
pbl
I need to get a new external HDD for my laptop and I'm thinking of getting an eSATA drive. My question is this: Can any HDD be turned into an eSATA drive by housing it an enclosure which has an eSATA port or is there something special about SATA drives? I'm not sure whether I should buy an already enclosed SATA or buy the HDD and the enclosure separately (cheaper option). Thanks for your help.

Can't find my Card Reader or driver by
[email protected]
I have a built-in card reader in my laptop. However, I can only see it
in Device Manager if I have a card inserted. I am having trouble as,
when I insert a card, the card reader isn't showing up - so I can't
check the driver because I can't find it. I changed it recently to the
most updated, digitally signed driver. Can someone help?

I am using Vista Home Premium on:

Can Vista Ultimate output to multiple audio devices? by
Tim Sagstetter
My computer includes an HDMI output port on an ADD2 card. The card is
internally connected to the High Definition Audio Device header on the main
board to provide audio output via the HDMI jack. The computer also has
typical 7.1 audio output via ST jacks and an SPDIF jack. The only way I've
found to switch among the audio output devices is to use Control Panel -
Sound - Manage Audio...

Vista is unable to find drivers by
eLC
My Vista Business install is now unable to find device drivers by itself.
This used to work before I installed Daemon Tools v4.08, which I have now
uninstalled, but it did not resolve my problem.
When plugging in eg. a thumb drive, Vista used to detect it, and then
install the native driver automatically.
Now it shows up with a "No driver found" dialog, and I have to point it to

Speed differences between 32-bit and 64-bit Vista? by
Phillip Pi
Hi.
Since I installed both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista Ultimate Edition on my
old test machine (ASUS K8V SE Deluxe, Athlon 64 3200+ , 512 MB
of RAM, SATA HDD, etc.), I notice the speeds are identical. I can't see
and feel any improvements. I did install the ATI Radeon 9600 AIW drivers
to help the video speed, but I just don't see the speed differences. Am

Card Reader won't read 2Gb SD card by
jammiedodger80
Installed Vista yesterday, and the only thing I'm having trouble with is my
card reader.
It'll read all of my 128mb, 256mb, 512mb and 1gb SD cards no problem, but
won't read my 2gb card. Instead, it gives the message "you need to format
the disk in drive X: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"
Now, if say yes, it brings up the "format disk" box, but shows the capacity

Why doesn't Windows recognise my DVD burner? by
Ben
Hi folks,
I have a Liteon SHM-165P6S DVD-RW device and I can write discs with
3rd-party tools such as DeepBurner, but Vista doesn't recognise its burning
capabilities. For example, the 'DVD Burner' list in DVD Maker is empty.
Any ideas why this may be? How can I resolve this lack of Windows
functionality?
cheers,
