View 1 RepliesI purchased a us modular flash drive from tiger direct. I'm running xp home edition. I'm on cable and a friend of mine is on dial up, but he's also using windows xp home. His computer is only about 2 yrs old. Anyway, he ask me if I'd copy the free programs ad-aware and spybot, since it takes him so long to download anything, which I did. I gave him the drive, but when he tried to access it, he said it gave him an I/O error. His computer wouldn't read it. I brought it home and plugged it in and it works fine on my machine. On his he said it'd show up as a drive (H:), but when he tried to open it, it gave the error. You don't have to install any drivers (at least you didn't on mine. It came with no cd. Will this drive only work on my machine or what.

Tossed A version of windows XP I downloaded SP3, onto the drive, appatempted to boot it, but when I boot the flash drive with my gigabyte X38 DS4, it just loads windows 98 for half a second and brings me to a DOS C:. which was similer when I tried to install windows 7 from my USB drive where as that brought me 2 windows ME dos screen. It seems not to autorun so I don't really know how to partition my disk, format, and install a fresh coppy of windows.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to say this computer has not been turned on in more then a year. Family that got it off me said it didn't work... That it just beeped and shut off...only thing that looked wrong to me today at a glance was that little switch in the back was set to 230 and not 115 so I flipped it back to 115 and up until now it seemed to work fine and as fast and noisy as I remember (it's pretty big and I think a counted 12 or 13 fans in it once)...according to the guy I got it from when he "upgraded" to some sort of water cooled system or something (actually I think he just dropped parts in a vat of oil *shrugs*), he said, that this is running hot. the little readout next to those knobs to control the fan speeds are reading from 58 F, 120.8 F and 88.2...but I know my body temperature is in the 90's and the internal air feels moderate while the shell that it is all in is cold to the touch...I do not know if that could have anything to do with my actually problem.

The window disappears, nothing downloads, no error message. Also, what is strange is that now I can't view any PDF files on the internet. I can open the program (Adobe Reader 7.08) itself, but whenever I try to access a file on the web, the browser window disappears, again without an error message. I used to be able to view PDF's fine before I tried to install Flash Player 9.
