I have a 400GB PATA (IDE) HDD which has been working fine. I bought an IDE
to SATA converter from ebay and tried to install on a PC that only supports
SATA drives. The PC could not see the drive even after a lot of combinations
that I tried so, I put it back into my USB case and connected to PC. After
that, the computer could not see it at all. In device manager it is seen as:

RAID array degraded - "missing hard drive" by
markmcd
Hi guys,
I have an Intel RAID array on my PC with 3 750Gb physical drives. I have
checked all the connections in the box and all seems well.
The error I receive is that the RAID array is degraded ("missing hard drive"
error) on port 1. Ports 0 and 2 are fine representing the other 2 drives.
This happened once before and apparently the cause was iTunes mpeg files
play havoc with RAID arrays...

I have a 24 inch widescreen, and I know its native resolution is NOT

Vista keeps changing the positions of my dual monitors by
Rodger in SF
I've got a notebook with a second monitor also attached. My notebook Monitor
(#1) is on the right and the Second (#2) on the left. So I go into display
settings and change it from #1-#2 to #2-#1 and all is fine for awhile. But

Hotkey not working right with Intellitype Pro 6.3 by
Ken Isaacson
Vista Ultimate SP1
Intellitype Pro 6.3
Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard
Not sure if this is the right forum for this issue.
On an older computer (running XP), I had a previous version of Intellitype
(with the same keyboard I presently have), and the "Mute" hotkey did what it
was supposed to do: Mute or unmute sound.
