mga pare, i have a question regarding large hard drives. i'm planning to buy a 160GB HDD. i understand that win9x and xp (prior to service pack) cannot recognize in excess of 127 or 137 GB. okay lang ba kung i partition ko yung 160 into something like 40GB and 120GB? is that a valid solution? di ko ba maeexperience yung problem pag ganun ang ginawa ko? tnx.

if you're HDD is Seagate, try using their Discwizard utility...this utility can be downloaded from their website,

www.seagate.com...if not, go to the manufacturer's website (whatever brand it is you're planning to buy)

and download the disk config utility...

 

you're proposed solution is quite a logical one, i suggest you use Windows 2000 Professional (if you're not into gaming)... what OS Platform (Win9x/Win2kPro/WinXPHome/WinXPPro) are you planning to install?

Actually bibili pa lang ako and yes, Seagate is the brand I prefer.

I'm using a triple boot configuration now (Win98, WinXP, & RHLinux9) so I'd probably do the same when I get the 160GB HDD. What's troubling me is yun nga, yung large disk limitation. Kelangan ko pa rin kasi yung Win98 coz some of my old hardware and applications only work in Win98. I know that in WinXP, it will be solved by installing the SP. Kaya lang pirated ang copy ko. Tapos sa 98 nmn i'm quite worried na baka nga hindi ko mautilize yung full capacity. If anyone can verify and have tried na possible yung solution ko to partition it, I guesss I'd be okay. Thanks.

Theoretically, that is a possible solution...I am more worried about your motherboard's BIOS...is your motherboard capable of recognizing the ENTIRE 160 GB...I had this issue once where I can only access the first 9 GB or so of my harddisk since it can't recognize the access method of my new HD...anyway, I may just be getting too paranoid... :P Also, if you're thinking of upgrading to Windows XP SP2, don't be afraid...just search for my keygen somewhere in this forum...it generates completely unique keys for Windows and can't get blacklisted...theoretically... :P (Hmm...seems like "theoretically" is my favorite word for today... :D )... :headsetsmiley:

looks like a case of browser hijack ;) try updating your anti-spyware and updating your anti-virus virus definitions :rolleyes:

Thanks guys. Anyway, i'm currently using an MSI K7N2 Delta-L mobo. Anybody here know if it supports 160GB HDDs? I tried checking the MSI website but it doesn't say anything about that.

It's oftentimes called a BSOD or Blue Screen of Death since, typically, you can't do anything else but restart the damned pc...  :P My question/s is/are has this only happened recently? If so, it MAY be a virus... it may also be a configuration change that you did to your machine recently. Also, has your machine been running without a reformat for a long time? It may be that there's also too much junk dll's in your machine due to constant installations and un-installations. A good format may be in order... :headsetsmiley:

 

well its aint blue, rather, its black..... with the message windows protection error on top, next line stating restart your computer then a long beep.

 

happened twice last week, then recently, hindi na, i did a fullsystem scan sing norton and the latest virus patch, no viruses found. i defrag and scandisk once a month. last reformat of the machine waas january second week where i reformatted and reinstalled everything. (i still cant figure out what the hell is wrong with my system cause i cant install winXP!)

Yup! A certified browser hijack if ever I saw one...wait...in this case, if ever I heard of one...whatever :P Anyways, what anti-adware product are you using? If you're using Lavasoft's AdAware, I doubt if it can remove such... :huh: I recommend using Giant AntiSpyware...download it using the link I posted somewhere here... :blink:

Nah! Don't mind my previous inquiry...from what I've read, your motherboard is not as archaic as I thought before...it SHOULD support that HD... :unsure: Can anyone confirm this? Just really cautious about these things... :cool:
