Whats are you doing you stupid little HD?

shinglung
Hi Whenever I do a clean install of 2k I always reformat the HD with NTFS, and every time after it spends 30min doing it says it can't because of some error. The HD was bought this year and is IBM so it should be fine.

SoundBlaster Woes?

Swampy
Anybody have problems getting their sound working in Win 2000 Pro? I am running a dual boot 98/2000. My sound works beautiful in 98, but not even a peep in 2000. It won't detect my soundcard with plug n play, but when I put in my Live!Ware Windows 2000 it appears that it is installing fine.

Reformatting soon; switch to NTFS or keep FAT32?

GTwannabe
The registry demons I had in 98SE have been popping up more and more frequently. I've decided to cut my losses, back up my data at work, and format the damn drive. I have a 30 gig 7200rpm maxtor, which currently has only 1 FAT32 partition.

Nividia nForce... will you buy??

Ronin
I've seen the reports about this new Nvidia chip that has sound and graphics all intergrated? Why would anyone want intergrated sound and graphics? You are at the mercy of the chip maker if you go that way.
