Hey guys! I finally got my dream machine up and... kinna running. I have been doing all kinds of stuff trying to get this thing running right, after (it seems like) hundreds of freezes. I've formatted my 4 30gig HDs 3 times (and installed windowz) and just been doing everything trying to figure out my problem. I think I have narrowed it down to the floppy drive controller. The floppy works great in dos and start up and everything, but in windowz, it hangs. I can't get into windows unless I disable the floppy drive controller in safe mode. So right now, it is disabled, that seems ok b/c I usally don't ever need a floppy drive BUT every time I try to open any file from any program (my computer, paint, IE, lava...) my computer hangs and I have to cut it off (sometimes I get lucky w/ ctrl-alt-del, but it usally doesn't work). Right now my floppy is not even connected to my computer (I took the ide cable off!!), DO you'll have any suggestion on what I can do??
P.S. You'll ever had a FOP 32 crack a core on a t-bird? I did... The (beaver) DAM thing took a (tiny) corner off. Oh and do you'll know any good (hopefully free...) dvd software decoders?
P.P.S When I first fdisked my hard drives I made the raid array under the 16k block size like apushardware.com said to do but when I went to format the hard drives (the array) using the "format c: /z:32" (following apus hardware's directions)it said my hard drive was too big. I ended up making the array with the (default) 64k block size and just doing a standard format "format c:". Any body know what or how this will affect anything??
Thanks guys... You'll are alsome.
