Hard Drive

Behemoth
I was given a 3 gig hard drive yesterday, I know it pretty smal but anyway I'll cut to the chase. Upon running diagnostics on it I discovered that it had somewhere in the region of 17 bad sectors on it.

Another choice, I think I asked this once already

jdulmage
Ok, I have a choice, both of these cards are free to me. . RivaTNT 16 MB PCI or Voodoo 3 3000 16 MB AGP now, Voodoo 3 has good performance, but the fact that it has a max texture limit of 256x256, whereas the RivaTNT has 2048x2048!!!! I mean, that's a big gap between the two numbers.

Change Drive letters under win2k

Napalm
Ok, I just finished installing windows 2000 (after installing linux first). However, does anyone know how to change drive letters under win2k? For some odd reason, it picks up my zip drive first, then the CD-ROM, then my Hard drive.

bsod running at stock speed?

SnowHawk
If I try to clock my CPUs all the way down to regular speed 366/66. . . then it will give me a blue screen of death and something about the hpt366. sys drivers. . . I use the newest ones 1. 25v I think but I heard somewhere you should use 1.

My Diamond Viper V770 Ultra

Anonymous
Is there a way I can take that damn fan off of it? It's making all sorts of annoying noise and needs to either be cleaned or replaced. I thought I'd ask before I went in to rip apart my video card. Lemme know.
