    hard drive booting problem....

    ...alright i did that with the 1.5 tb drive, but it says another problem now when i try to install win vista, that i recently unplugged other drives or blah blah. But for me, THAT shouldn't happen right? the installation should assume so, BUT for some reason either my motherboard permanently wants to recognize my previous hard drives that were installed with win vista.......I'm starting think it is mobo problem than hard drive..... IT recognizes the hard drive....the harddrives worked until out of no where...

    Basicallly i have 2 problems... I CAN"T install a new win vista with a new harddrive and can't boot for crap.

  3. Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!

    Annoying having to go into the bios each time though. And for me not a option unless i run 2 arrays.
