    X800 GTO2 = Unknown Device

    I flashed the BIOS on my X800 GTO2 last night and it is listed in the Device Manager as an Unknown Device. Is this normal?

    Changing device names and deleting devices

    You can't delete "retired" machines....there is some kind of "paper" trail they keep and the "old" devices are kept in archive.

    I think???you can change machine names by doing so in windows "computer name" and then it might change[can't remember for sure] if it doesn't do so...detach and do a remove/re install and it should change.
