Changing drive letters on LS-120 drive

oshie
How do you change a drive letter on a LS 120 drive. It says B drive at the moment but I want to say A drive, cos I just got rid of the 1. 44mb drive. Disk manager can't view the drive and device manager can't change it, unlike in Win 98.

Overclocking Question

kgeissler
I have a Abit KA7 MB with a Athlon 800. When I go into the Softmenu to try and overclock it to 840Mhz 105 x 8, it will start to load Windows 2000, then reboot. Is there a trick to overclocking? What do I need to do.

Wheel not working on mouse

kgeissler
I was running W2k on my old PII-400 with my mouse working fine, wheel and all. Now when I went to my Athlon 800, I formated and reinstalled Windows 2000. The mouse works, but the wheel doesn't. I checked the mouse properties and have it set to Assume Wheel is Present.

In windows 2k the print speeds are very bad due to the fact the print head sweeps accross the page every other second, I tried the latest 2k drivers and they dodn't help one bit so I went back to Windows 98 where the printer works perfectly.

New 3D Prophet II GTS 64MB BIOS

strider
As the subject says. Go get it at The new one clocks the core and RAM down to the reference 200MHz/333MHz speeds. Come to think of it, maybe the lower core speed may help me in my video lockups? Let's see if that's true for me.

FPS in Quake on new CPU

kgeissler
I just bought an Athlon 800 and Abit KA7 MB. But when I run Q3 in 640x480, fastest setting with all game options turned off, I only get 63 FPS. Is this good, or sound to low? BTW, I have a Creative Blaster TNT 16MB video card and 196MB of RAM.
