Recently received a new hard drive, Sea gate sata 500gig. Wanting to use it soI removed my old sata 80 gig drive and installed new drive. All went well, so I figured I can now use old drive as backup. Not so. When I installed the old drive, windows will see it, but tells me there is no data and that the drive is raw. Even if I pull the new drive out and try to run the old drive as before, the bios does not recognize the drive. What gives? Worked fine before I switched them out. Don't know if this helps, but both drives are loaded with xp pro. Should be able to a least dual boot. right or wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have data on the old drive I need to access. Sys specs, cpu, 6600 core 2 quad, 4gig of ram, mb is an asus P5q-pro with 650 watt ps.

Uninstalled then reinstalled the drivers and all works fine. Now I would like to increase my cpu fan. I know I have seen a recommended program mentioned on this forum, if anyone knows what it is I would appreciate it if you could give me the name.

Thanks

Ok guys, I have read all the posts concerning gpu temps and followed the instructions at

http://www.xtremesystems.org/FORUMS/showthread.php?t=192932 In order to adjust fan speed. Problem is nothing changes. Have restarted the box, downloaded the newest drivers, but still fan speed operates at 22%. As instructed I have activated the overdrive settings, created a profile, and changed auto to manual along with entering a new % value. I save the file, but nothing happens. When I restart the the box the settings in my created profile return to defaults. Any thoughts? I really want to get the temp down, under load I'm at 80c.

See if this helps.

It's a long shot, but if you had a power fluctuation it may have corrupted the chipset on the dvd drive. Look into the manufacturers site and see if they have either a flash or an update for that unit. Can't hurt.
