SB Live S/P-DIF output question

Gambler FEX online
I heard the SB live s/p-dif output voltage level is +/-5v (TTL level) instead of s/p-dif standard of +/- 500mV level. I found this out very late, and by then my receiver has been broken (skips and beeps when I play off DTS source).

Does anyone know if i could change my HD ID number, without formating my harddrive? (I'm thinking a small little program that chages it for me). I know this is far from only a w2k q. but you guys have helped me in so many ways before /David.

HP CD-Writer Plus 7200e

madcrazyirishman
HP recently released drivers for the CD-Writer Plus 7200 External. The original problem with it was that it would boot to the BSOD. Even with the these drivers, it *still* does it!!! I have got the driver to install, and it shows in My Computer, but hangs when I try to access it, and when I reboot, it will BSOD on me.

NT server 4.0 and cluster size

Cutha
I have installed winNT many times. The thing I have noticed is that when creating a partition with NTFS it defaults to 512Byte clusters. I convinced a client to get rid of fat16 on his server and I formatted during the reinstall.

Hardware Overlay on a damn PCI WinTV

euankirkhope
The only reason I use Win2000 is cause it doesn't crash when watching TV(and working). Thing is though, I haven't seen overlay mode work since about a week after I bought it, and upgraded to a TNT (jan '99).
