Replaced CMOS Battery - CD/DVD Burner not Recognized

XP Pro_SP3

BIOS Type and Version: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG

I had one of those "OH MY GOD" moments when I realized my oldest desktop had the original
factory installed CMOS battery (CR2032) on the mobo. Before replacing the battery, I was able to
print out the CMOS settings so they could be ...

Re: Uniflash Website and Information

Thank you edwin.

I don't post very often on any forum. The reason is simple. When I have a computer
related problem it's usually too complex or just plain weird. I think this happens to
any advanced or expert level computer user and/or builder.

We have some very high quality test equipment. You ...

Re: Uniflash Website and Information

I found Uniflash_v1.40 at its homepage:

http://www.rainbow-software.org/uniflash/

I didn't know there was a newer version (1.47), until I logged into this forum.

Here's the story.

I started a business with four other guys when 98SE was the newest version
of Windows. Only one of us was an expert ...

Re: BIOS Display Settings Change Spontaneously

edwin, your reply is generous and thoughtful. Thank you!

It won't resolve this problem, but I'll tell you what I did. I've
been building and using computers for a very long time. My first

magazine. I'm telling you this so you'll ...

Re: BIOS Display Settings Change Spontaneously

Thanks for replying edwin.

When I post on help forums I'm usually caught in a classic "catch22"
situation. If you're an advanced or expert level user the problems
you can't resolve yourself are usually not fixable. I'm always amazed
when anyone can find a solution to highly complex problems on ...

BIOS Display Settings Change Spontaneously

This problem is a glitch that I can live with if there is no solution.
I've been creating scripts for years, so I usually find work around
solutions for most problems. This time, I'm out of ideas!

I used a customized version of 98SE years ago, when I started a small
business with few other guys. We ...

BIOS Keeps Changing Boot Order Priority

I'm posting in this "high-tech" area because if there is a
solution to this problem it ain't going to be simple!

I recently built a desktop with a Gigabyte mobo.

I have several USB and USB + eSATA external hard
drives. The SATA internal drives consist of two in a
RAID 0 configuration. There is ...
