Answer» My computer took a dump on me. I determined it ti be the hard drive and bought a new one. The BIOS recognizes the new drive without a problem. I tried to load windows XP and it said I had 131062 MB of disk space, but the HDD is 400 Gigs. What is up with this THING? Would it be a controller problem? Is there a chip on the motherboard that remembers the old drive and continues to think it is there? Until SERVICE Pack2 is installed and or UPDATED it will read approx. 137G of that hard drive... Until Service Pack2 is installed and or updated it will read approx. 137G of that hard drive... I don't think so. It is an older version of XP Pro. How do I get the sp2 downloaded and installed?get sp3, it includes sp2 Quote from: Dias de verano on May 25, 2008, 05:33:21 AM get sp3, it includes sp2You can get the CD Image HEREAs there are still issues with it i am holding off on recommending SP3 for AWHILE... Order SP2 CD Download Page for SP2So I guess it was good I haven't installed it yet. I've burned the CD though...I installed it 3 weeks ago on my Shuttle ST62K. No problems at all. I had to patch tcpip.sys and uxtheme.dll just like I did with SP2 but everything works just fine. Yep it's kind of hit or miss...many people are running it with no issues at all. A certain number of AMD CPU's have issues with it and i just cleaned it off a machine because it lost all internet connectivity. Once removed everything runs fine so go figure... |
