There seems to be some truth to Chris says... this taken from a Myth Busting-type website: The same goes for hard drives. The only magnets powerful enough to scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by government agencies to wipe bits off media. "In the real...

hmm, not sure what a scratch disk is... I just meant, moving your paging file to another HD - if you have one that isn't cluttered up with a bunch of stuff like your primary OS drive is. That way, the page file can be accessed quicker.. theoretically.

Yeah, I had a similar problem, just ran a chkdsk at bootup and win fixed the bad sectors. Now if I could just get rid of this discoloration on my monitor...

Thank Horn. Does the root for the linux OS need to be a primary or logical partition.. or does it matter?

What processor are you looking to go with? Athlon 64, P4, Jim Bob's Supa Fast process-er? Let us know.

Did you receive a driver disc with your MB? That should include the RAID drivers you need. When you install Windows for the first time it will say something like "press F7 or F8" or something" to install 3rd party SATA drivers. Also, you need to make sure that SATA and RAID are both enabled in...

Just take some tweezers and push in the sides that flare out and push up. The tension in the springs should do the rest. Also, make sure the mounting bracket screws have been removed.
