Solve : can you use a modem from a 'slave' hd at all?? |
|
Answer» I could just try this but what they hey I'll ask, Read what I wrote nedscum. It's all very clear. F--- off while you're at it, montauk-boy. Quote the spare hd bay is slightly too small to use one of them as a slave (awful way of describing that, but it seems to be the term that people use)........ When I'm done with you the word 'slave' is going to look small in comparisment what you'll end up being, biatch. You have an awfully big mouth for someone called 'Clara" are you some kind of man hating feminist? What you need is a MAN, BABY! now come on you lot play nice. clara has asked a perfectly simple and consise question. We should have a little respect for other NEEDING help. Clara to sort out your problem try the following: click on start button > run now type in regedit then press enter look in the list under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then look in the folder HARDWARE then SOFTWARE IF there are ANY entries in these folders right click on any entries and select delete after you double check there are no entries restart your computer. hope this helps steve Quote now come on you lot play nice. Sorry, you must be blind or live in a different kind of reality, Steve: Quote ooo-oooo get the handbags out! My mk-ultra COMMENT has mr. hormones all out balance here out of whack.Quote Re-read my post and take your own advice...Quote I could just try this but what they hey I'll ask,Whew! This is one wild discussion. I've never seen anything quite like it in this forum. Clara, if you want any help here, you're going to have to stop the attitude, the hostility, the irrational defensiveness, and get down to a discussion of the facts. And, you need to accept the fact that some of your notions about computers, notions you've apparently picked up from "advice" given you by someone else, are erroneous. Patio gave you some straight talk in his first reply and you did not follow through with a rational discussion. Let me reiterate some key points. Maybe saying it in different words will help. You said, "is it possible to use a modem that you know works perfectly well, from an additional hd?" This simply does not make sense. You're implying some kind of connection or relationship between the modem and a seond hard drive that is simply invalid. Hardware devices such as internal modems need small programs, called drivers, installed to make them work. And, let's distinguish between drivers and applications, applications being major software/programs you install to accomplish various tasks (word processing, spreadsheet, photo editing, etc.). Normally, drivers are installed on the same drive as the OS, which will normally be the primary hard drive, designed with drive letter C. Even it Windows allows it to be installed on a second/slave drive, it isn't going to make one iota of difference in whether the device works properly or not. If, in fact, you have a "modem that ... works perfectly well" but you can't get it to work, then it's most likely due to not having the right driver for it properly installed or some communication settings need to be changed, or the physical installation of the hardware is not correct. Just how do you know the modem works perfectly well? Tell us the make, model, and type of modem. Has it always been installed in the computer you want to use it in? Did it ever work in that computer ? If so, what happened when it stopped working? Are you sure you have the right driver for it? Where did you get the driver? "I'm having problems getting the main hd to recognise the modem." Again, this erroneous thinking. The issue is whether your OS, i.e. Windows, recognizes the modem, not the hard drive. "I was told that slave hd's cannot run applications, is that true?" Yes, you can install application programs in a slave drive and that should work fine, assuming you do a proper installation so that Windows Registry is properly updated and knows where those program files are located. And I'll say once more, this is unrelated to your modem issue.Quote QuoteThis is a dead issue as Clarabell has moved on. Hopefully he/she/it will find a forum that appreciates her immaturity, rudeness and abuse.Sorry, you must be blind or live in a different kind of reality |
