QUOTE(kahyern @ Jul 30 2006, 08:42 PM) I got one technical prob. I buy pentium 4 2.66, ddr 512 ram, 80 GB sata hdd, one 20GB pata hdd, creative 5.1 sound blaster. After i set up the whole thing and install window inside... i realise that it was totally vy slow. Don feel like 2.6GHz machine. can anyone help me on this matter? i really don know wat is the matter... did your RAM usage full ? (hard disk keep blinking even in idle) check your device manager for poper driver install and make sure you use 80pin ide cable for the 20gb disk (little performance boost)

Your HDD is calling me Check your power cable and for the slow loading , look for IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers in Device Manager . Check is it using PIO mode , if it is then switch to UltraDMA . _______________________________________________ QUOTE(aik457 @ Jan 29 2007, 02:32 AM) hi i got a 160gb seagate harddrive and i make four partition each with three with 39 and last 1 with 31 but strangely i can format other 3 39gb partition with NTFS but the last 31gb i can only format in FAT32 . can anyone tell me what happend?
