I installed a new, second HDD. I initialized it and began formatting it on Disk Management. When I just came back after being away from the computer for a few minutes, I noticed that the whole HDD, not to mention its formatting process, had completely disappeared from Disk Management! The HDD is still physically connected, it wasn't taken away by a fairy. What caused this and how to prevent it...

I've already posted this in the "General" forum by mistake. Sorry for the duplicate post. I have XP and RC2 dual booting on a SATA RAID 0 array with no issues. The problem is that I also have a SATA RAID 1 array that RC2 recognizes as two separate disks instead of an array. XP has no problem recognizing it so I think I've done the first few steps right! :) I've tried a few tricks in this...

Hi all! I want to upgrade my system and is there any reason to not go ahead and do it now, other than after Vista is released there may not be a lag in the mb drivers release? For example, I assume, say, in March 2007 the motherboards will have Vista drivers included. I'm curious if there is any fundamental difference in the architecture of a motherboard designed "for vista" instead of...

I can't get the mic on my Logitech Headset to work. It uses the 3.5mm ports not USB. It works on XP, but it won't work on Vista. I use it with Ventrilo.

Hi Experts: I have noticed some differences on Windows Vista regarding to the gratuitous ARP: I have a virtual adapter, under Windows XP, when IP Helper function "IpRenewAddress" is called for the virtual adapter, gratuitous ARP packet is generated by the system; but under Windows Vista, this seems is not happening. Does this make sense? Can this be explained? Thanks in Advance! Polaris

Can anyone provide some insight as to why Microsoft removed support for this from the Beta's to the RTM, and is there a way to provide this functionality. I have found numerous people asking this question, and no...

Has anyone a sollution/workaround, even an application which would allow me to add shortcuts to the "Send to" menu? At the moment I'm running floAt's Mobile...

I have the AMD 5000+ black edition which has an unlocked multiplier. The default multiplier is 13X and FSB is 200. When I increase the multiplier in the BIOS, to 14X, the BIOS will show the proper speed at 2.8. When I go into Vista, it shows the CPU as 2.6, no increase in speed. If I change the FSB to say 215, Vista will report the almost 2.8 properly. What must I do to make Vista read...

Here is a warning to those with Attansic L1 Gigabit network controller chips on their motherboard, such as ASUS P5N-E. Do NOT, repeat NOT, install the recommended network adapter driver from Microsoft Update. The recommended hardware driver appears with a different manufacturer name, not Attansic.
