oK....I'll try that. One more question. Do I need to do a format of the drive once I get it installed or do you not need to format SATA drives? Also, I bought the OEM version of the drive. It came with no manual or disk. I did download Seagates Sea tools which does a diagnostic test of the drives. M...

I have a Red LED Cannon in the front panel shooting stra...

Yeah, I cant either. I guess my Jumper dreams of an easy fix are going down the drain. Heres what the Seagate Tech says about it..One of them anyway: Hello Joey, Since the motherboard supports 3.0Gb/s mode, you don't (and shouldn't) have to jumper for 1.5Gb/s mode. This setting is only for controlle...

Overheating 6800XT's
I have dual NVidia 6800XT's on a SLI configuration. I've been having a yellow triange with a black exclamation point pop up in the icon tray every 5 minutes for about a week now and had no idea what it was for. Well, now I do. My NVidia Monitor, which shows a graph of the heat of various things on m...

I'm having alot of trouble making any type of image with Acronis. The only backup I've been able to make is using Winbackup, which is just in a file on my desktop. Its pretty good but I need an image on DVD. SO, I think I should completely remove Norton GoBack, just do an uninstall of it. If you thi...

Does your motherboard have a Nvidia chipset on it? I thought that my motherboard should support anything as simple as this. Probably the reason the jumper didnt come from factory is this HD was an OEM version. It didnt even have a manual with it. I just looked in my Asus manual and it says it suppor...

Well, I just found out from talking to Seagate Tech support that if you have the problems I'm having the issue is this...Some motherboards wont support the 3 GB/s transfer rate that the HD i bought is configured for. So the solution is this. You place a 2mm jumper on the far right 2 pins of the 4 pi...

Sometimes I get caught up in all this new technology and want to add it to my system..like my dual video cards....but in the end I find out the hard way that I dont need it. Anyway, I've been worried about lo...

Hi.. I have dual Nvidia 6800 XT's with the SLI configuration....First of all there a pain in the butt to setup..BUT, they do increase your frame rates in games and will certainly help you if you're using graphical software.. I highly recommend it....then you can easily overclock BOTH the cards withi...
