I bought a computer from a friend, that computer comes with a HARD drive and a DVD writer. then i add another hard drive and one more DVD writer which now makes a total of 2 DVD writer and 2 hard drive. then it works fine for few hours without one of the DVD writer not being detected. Then when i found out that one of my DVD writer is not being detected, i shuts down again and started reconnecting the drivers again and resetting the jumpers, and now it detected all my drivers but then causes another problem which is my computer is continuously restarting just before the operating system(windows XP) boots. By the way, that computer also comes with a 512MB of ram then i again added another 512MB of ram which now makes a total of 1GB.

Thankyou and hope to hear from you very sortlty (just reply via my gmail account a"")

Carlos, your power supply may be underpowered for the hardware you are now running....also make sure the new ram is well seated.I have successfully completed Formatting my Hard disk and Installing Windows xp Professional SP2 and every thing works fine. But I mistakenly registered that Computer in my name instead of my Company's name. So I just wanna ask you if theres any way you can help me to CORRECT that spelling error without reformatting and reinstalling everything again.

Thanks and hope to hear from you very sortly

Cheers......... Carlos, here you go......Step by step.

 

http://www.real-knowledge.com/naming.htmI have completely building a computer, it operates successfully. I am using windows xp Professional sp3. The next thing I am thinking of doing now is to install one more operating system which is Ubuntu,again in just only one hard disk. From my own understanding I know that this type of method MIGHT require me to install a virtualbox.But i dont know which one exactly is the right one, so i want if you can direct me to the right software so i can download it. And also explain to me how i can Partion my hard disk and then continue my installation.

Thanks and hope to hear from you sortly

Cheers..............
