Encountered the same problem with a Delta drive a couple of years ago and have never bought another one since. Lite-On is about my favorite burner...
I'll have to look at Aida32 and find out what (1) means but I'd concur with your thinking on leaving the interleave setting the way you have it....
Now you're talking - thats just the path that I have taken. In fact, I'm about to rework the particular machine I have setup with the same Soyo MB...
Martin - not to be deceived, your Soyo MoBo won't run PC3200 at 400 MHZ. Read a couple of the Soyo forums or check out Soyo's own website. I was...
The partition is probably no longer active - it has to be active to boot. ;)
Congratulations Martin. Gald to hear it - I've never been able to get those Soyo's (KT333 or 400) to boot after a flash without clearing CMOS and...
mattman: I'd say you nailed this one down pretty good. Manufacturer should be shot for such mis-leading terminology. As Chiles4 points out, it...
I'd try bumping your FSB to 333 and see if it registers as a 3000+ if it will boot at all. Whats the MoBo chipset on there? May handle PC2700 or...
Just go to your Highpoint controller in Device manager and update drivers. If they won't take because you have installed a newer version then...
Chiles: I'm glad you said it. I was going to keep my mouth shut after being rebuffed for my emachine comment but have to lend concurrence re:...
Martin: As long as you can still boot, the answer is yes. You also need to make sure you install the correct matched HighPoint drivers, as that...
Keywester - which is it? 3000+ or 1700+ ? You don't get to have it both ways. If its 1700+ then your bus speed is 266, if its 3000+ your bus speed...
Based on your comments and intended use, the correct answer is neither - understanding that I will draw the wrath of countless others, your best...
I'd say the answer is yes, most definately worth it. sidebar: spent the last 3 weeks in your fine state ;)
Am really confused now because of your comments that your BIOS settings are not holding but instead are being overwritten depending on what drives...
Had to put a vote up for Samsung because their new drives are excellent - great tooling, special bearings and phenominal performance with solid...
My first calls would be memory or video - you've done that. Pete's right - clear CMOS and reconfirm all of your BIOS settings. Also make sure your...
Re-check and verify your pinouts for PWR, Reset and LED's. You can also disconnect all and try running PWR headers only from the reset pinouts to...
Mattman's suggestion has some real merit - try it. Somewhat baffled but it sounds to me more like XP drive recognition situation whereby Disk...
Are you jumpered cable select on the Seagate ATA drive? Some MoBo's (DFI) will not run SATA if anything is on IDE #1 Primary - not saying this is...
