Also here is a thread of people who had the same problem and managed to get it to work

You migh need to format the the drive, try connecting it to an old machine e.g xp and see if samsung have a partition tool, if not just use disk manager and remember vista needs the hard drive to be portioned in NTFS not FAT 32. Sometimes you might also need drivers, so check msi website for chipset drivers although they are rearly required.

[QUOTE="topmanhugo"]not in UK u hardly save when you get your ownteddyrob

That is true. There is some sweat deals on Ebay. If you buy your own it usually costs you a lot more as prices have increased lately.

My computer I have in my specs now costs £100 more than when I paid for it. My Q6600 was £106 it's now £160 and rising.

apparetley the uk market say it because the dollar has increased.

which would be the better buy?

Antec TruePower Trio 650W PSU - With 3x 12v Rails and 120mm Fan costs £84.54

and the Corsair 650W TX Series PSU - 120mm Fan, 80+% Efficiency, Single +12V Rail Costs £77.99

the antec has 3 12v rails but less amps the corsair has 1 12v rail but more amps.

I could fork out an extra 12 for the corsair, is it worth it? Is 620 watts good enoug for my specs?
