I just bought a new PC with an Intel DG31PR Motherboard and a Seagate 320 GB ST3320613AS SATA2 drive. Everything was working fine, so I decided to add a second SATA2 drive. I bought a 750GB Seagate ST3750330AS and plugged it into the second SATA port on the motherboard but it was not recognized by the BIOS. Finally figured out that the drive only works in port3 and not ports 2 and 4. Could...

After migrating from 2000 to Vista my bluetooth connection between my Laptop (HP/Compaq nc2400) and my mobile (SE K610) disconnects after 5s. It retries every 30s but disconnects again and again... This worked without any problems with Windows 2000, regardless if I had my bluetooth headset connected at the same time or not. Now, with Vista, the laptop cannot even discover the mobile if the...
