Your mobo may not have that option. Not all do

CPUID

You can use CPU-z to see what your Ram's timings are set to.

I don't know otherwise how to change them. there should be an option in the BIOS to set them to a default setting.

 

[Thorsen]

26. Change RAM Timing Settings : BIOS from A to Z

this is general for BIOS for changing the timing to the Manufacturers settings. You might see it set up in the same manner.

the Advanded chipset features might be hidden Try hitting Ctrl+F1 in main screen in BIOS
how do i access ram timings and change them? - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

dmcouch, you can find your Mobo's manual here: http://america.gigabyte.com.tw/FileList/Manual/motherboard_manual_ga-ep45-ud3(r)_e.pdf . It is pretty good btw, there are detailed instructions about installing the CPU and much more. Check page 39, the instructions to change memory settings are there. I would leave it all in Auto.

Can you guys help me with a XP system too

I have an old Dell which I added a storage drive. I then had some spy wear on in from my dad using my computer and had to reformat the main drive. I left the storage drive plugged up but not the new install of XP will not read drive F which is my storage drive. I can not run chkdsk it will not run on this drive but it is recognized in the computer management disk management screen. I would appreciate any help you might offer I really need to get pictures off the drive a lot of pics with me and my daughter on there.

 

[Thorsen]

Is the drive not showing up at all? or just not allowing access. Can you post a screenshot of your disk management and any error pop-ups you see.

 

[Thorsen]

Also, since this is XP, is it SP1, 2 or 3?
Do you have the drivers for the External HDD?
What is the make/model of External HDD?
When it is plugged in are there any conflicts (yellow ! triangles) in Device Manager?

 

[dmcouch1975]

This is an Internal hard drive and it is SP3 and it is showing up as Disk 1 Foreign nothing coming up

 

[dmcouch1975]

Hard drive

hard drive is a maxtor diamondmax 21 320gb internal. how do I post screen view of computer management

 

[dmcouch1975]

Jumpers

I put all jumpers in the right places and now I have the drive showing up (F: ) 128.00gb healthy active and 179.00gb Unallocated also in disk properties says file system is RAW and suppose to be NTFS

 

[dmcouch1975]

errors

There are no triangles or errors just will not let me access it and when I go to attempt Disc check it does nothing

 

[Thorsen]

hmmm Ok the Disk Mangement is in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer management > Storage > Disk Management


The drive might not be set to active. I don't know how to set that in XP.

 

[dmcouch1975]

online

It says it is healthy and active

 

[Thorsen]

It might have been deleted when install was done. it has not been overwritten though so you can use a recovery tool like Recuva to restore these files. You will still need access first though. We will work on that now.

You can try this Take Ownership to see if you can access: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html

Recovery tool:
Recuva: Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

 

[Thorsen]

RAW means that it is unformatted. I don't know though if its safe to format for NTFS or if it will further loose your info - or maybe restore it. There is another program that you can try though, but it is demo/paid, so I don't know what functions it has: Active@ Partition Recovery. Recover Deleted Partition. Undelete NTFS & FAT partitions.

takeover

How does this take over work

 

[Thorsen]

Take ownership tut puts an option in your right click menu so you can right click on the drive and take ownership. this will set you as the owner and you should be able.......

Crap that thing is for Win7. Ignore the Take Ownership thing. I don't know if it works for XP.

sorry about that. I know more about XP, but have been using win7 for a while now.
