I recently bought a dvd drive online but I find it has what I think is a sata socket. Can anyone tell me where I can see a picture of a sata socked so I can be sure, I can describe it looks rectangular with two plastic bars running parallel in the centre one longer than the other with little dots at the bottom.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having a heck of a time with this. I am trying to install Windows XP on a Lenovo R60e that has a SATA hard drive. I cannot for the life of me find the driver. I cannot seem to find anything resembling this driver on Lenovo's "Driver Matrix" or anywhere else on their site. Is there a generic one out there that anyone knows of? I want to slipstream this into an XP install, but I can't do it without the driver.

I'm running Suse Linux on my IDE-HD and I could also had no problems getting my Suse 10.1 installation to install on the SATA-HD. I've booted up with winxp media install disk and tried to use the F6 key at the right time but nothing happens so it keeps going until I get to the point where I can press the S key to install SATA RAID driver from disk that came with my motherboard. The drivers install but then windows install still says no disk to install windows... I don't get it.
I've checked my bios and SATA in there, in fact the first thing I see when I boot up in the boot sequence is the SATA drive. Linux knows it's there but windows install doesn't. I installed XP on a WD SATA drive before and all I had to do was press F6 to install the controller from the XP disk but that doesn't work now.
Iv got a Gateway MT6705 laptop with Windows Vista Pre Installed and I dont like it one bit. But when I went to install Windows XP Professional SP2 It says No hard drive found. It has 120Gb SATA hard drive installed using a Intel SATA Controller.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have custom built many computer systems over the years, but I feel like a new comer when trying to decide what board and chip set to use on a socket 939 system. I have used ASUS extensively and will use ASUS on this system. With all of the various chipsets and motherboards available from ASUS for the socket 939 I have reached to a point of total frustration. The more I research the duller my mind becomes and am asking for some help or suggestions.The computer will be used for research, a lot of it on the web, for graphics work and for preparation of presentations. I am not a gamer, am not interested in gaming, and do not have any games on my PC.
I know that the chipset will basically determine which motherboard to use. I am considering the VIA K8T800 PRO chipset, as the ATI and NVIDA chipsets seem to be more for gamers. Again my mind is awash from researching the various chipsets available for the socket 939 from the different chipset manufacturers, ATI, NVIDA, and VIA. I would like some input on which chipset would be best for general computing? Also, I was thinking about an AGP video card, but after research I feel like AGP is becoming a dinosaur. On the other hand it seems like the only advantage of PCI Express is for gamers especially in a dual configuration. Is there any real advantage of PCI Express over AGP for general computing? Would it be advantageous to go PCI Express over AGP?

View 5 Replies View Relatedfor a while when we first turn on our laptop it won't work, it is not responding. However, the windows task manager does not show anything not responding. My only way to fix this problem is to tell the computer to restart & I will then get a "not responding" message saying that "socket notification sink" is not responding. I tell it to end the program & restart & I sometimes have to go through this over & over & over again until the computer is responding. The biggest part of the problem is that I do not know what the heck "socket notification sink" is! And if I do a search for it nothing comes up & I don't see it in the programs in the control panel & I never see it on the "processes" tab of the windows task manager.Can anyone help? What is it, do I need it, how do I deal with this? I just need the frickin' computer to work when I turn it on, I don't have time for this some days!

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy friend boots her PC simply by switching on the power at the mains electric socket to which the PC's power cable is connected. She doesn't have to press a power button on the PC or do anything with keyboard or mouse. The PC boots into Windows. She shuts it down in the conventional way: Start>Shutdown. Normally she then switches the power off again at the mains electric socket. The OS on her PC is Windows XP Media Center. The PC was bought in a box from a discount retailer and hasn't been modified at all.
I'd like to configure my PC so that I just "switch it on" at the mains electric socket without having to press the power button on the PC. I assumed that it would be simple to configure the PC to do this so I asked advice on another reputable forum. Basically I've been told that it's not possible to do what I've done and seen done on my friend's PC. Clearly it is possible to boot a PC simply by switching on its power supply at the mains electric socket because my friend has done so on her PC for about three years now. I'd just like to know how it's done. Sadly my friend can offer no advice because as she says "Who cares? It's just a computer. I switch it on and off."
Win xp media center edition HP 3700 amd athlon computer Newbie here..At the end of start up (when loading) on my computer I get a box in the middle of my screen saying DISCover (on top) then underneath, it says, Socket failed to initialize. I can click OK and it will go away or I can X out of it and it will go away, however I do not feel that this should be happening. Can anyone help.. I will try to give more info as we go. I believe DISCover has something to do with the media edition XP I have?
