Gduns, I realize that, but then you explain this.

I'm outa here.

thanks George
 

Yea, now I have more problems,

I reconfigured my HD jumpers, slve and Master now hoster does not see my cdrom at all.
If it was just not having a sound card installed, well great I will go to the local sound card dealer like I should have done in the first place, only I was baffled as to why it functioned just fine with a CDG in the cd rom.

I appreciate the input, I will get the sound card installed, I don't know why I thought the mother board supported sound, it does on my other computer.

I will be back later.

I will need an answer to getting hoster to read my cdrom, I do not want to reconfigure my jumpers if possible. And I currently do not have broadband so I would have to go to a friends house just to make an internet connection to reinstall hoster, a feature I totally dislike about MTU. Is there a way to reinstall hoster without internet connection?

Thanks for all help,

Seve

thanks
 

great info, I have been deleting these files that pop up in my files each time for testing, I keep testing the same song so I can keep track of the files I create, I don't want a lot of files that will be there without my knowledge. Another thing I kind of don't like about this program. But then again I don't have computer engineering or programming skills or knowledge enough to make design changes to the software.
So I'd better just clam it.
Thanks again for the info.

Seve,
Your motherboard that you have does have a sound card installed on it. You will need to make sure that you have loaded the drivers for the Intel motherboard that you have in the system. If not this would be the reason that your DXDIAG is showing no Sound Card.

I would also recommend running all of the Windows Updates from Microsoft. Aso for you Rejumpering your drives and then the CDR drive not showing up anymore, then you might need to also update your drivers for your Motherboard.

I would update all of your drivers and then you should have a better system to be ready to go with.

Let me know what happens when you do this.

thanks
 

I just loaded the driver for the mother board sound, and I have switched the jumpers back, but I think I have them wrong, because now I can't get it to boot up, so I need to know how to jumper it . I have a 40g hard drive that I want to be C: with operating system on it, and E: 120g for strictly the music, how should I place the jumpers on each drive?

Seve

Re: thanks
 

Also, does it matter which mother board plug goes to which drive, there are two located on the same wire coming from the motherboard, one on the end of the flat multi cable and the other just a few inches up using the same cable, I don't think it should matter but then again I don't know.

Seve

tell me your kidding when you say you built your own computer !!!

:g :g :g :w :w :c :c :g :g

i try anything
 

Of course I built it, I built my first color TV at 13, Unfortunately I have aged I am 43 now and have forgotten half of what I learned this morning, I know, go ahead make fun, at least some one is laughing.

Seve

I wish I was kidding
 

I could have bought one ready to go with a lot less headaches.
But I am stubborn and I want to learn more about my system.
And I thought this would be the way.

Seve

Seve

Sevekj,
There is no way to tell how the jumpers should be on your system without looking at the exact jumper settings, which are always written on the Hard drive.

You will need to take a look at your hard drives and find out how they should be jumpered from the label.

As for the IDE Cable, either connector can be connected to either drive, there is no special way that it has to be connected. You should always put your Hard drives on the IDE 1 connector coming out of the motherboard. Then place your CD-Rom or CD-R drives on the IDE 2 connector. This is the best way that I have found to run them. You must make sure that your C:\ hard drive is your Master and your other drive is your Slave for it to correctly work. You should always jumper your Plextor drive as the Master also, which is how they come from Plextor (most of the time) as default. Also, make sure that you have loaded the Chipset drivers for your motherboard, this will help with any other IDE or bus mastering problems that your system may encounter. These should also be located on your CD from Intel for your exact motherboard.

Then try to boot the system up again and see if it will work.

great info
 

I will be working with this new info to see if I can't get it right,
thanks, Bryan

Sevekj,

I am going to apologize for my blasting report of this morning. The line that got met really upset was your "Time is a wasting," I believe you are sincere in what you are posting, but to get help, yoou have to describe exactly what is happening.

the work ERROR is an integral part of any Windows Operating System. All I asked was to post, which error your were getting.

I think the solution to you problems is somewhere buried within the answer you have already gotten, the problem here appears to be that:

1. Nobody is reading and acting upon the recommendations,
2. Somebody is reading and not understanding the problem (me, for intance, and
3. It has become a one upmanship on this thread, Perhaps we should take it from the beginning and see if we can find the problem.

The programs works and it works very well.

I did not mean to make fun of your post, I was upset that you mention your waste of time as if our time, didn.t mean anything.

Best regards,

Jon

thanks for understanding
 

I am actually very impressed with all of the comments and help from everyone, I can't wait to get this thing going so that maybe I could contribute to helping someone.

Seve

sevekj,

I am happy you understand. I meant no disrespect.

Sincerely.

Jon

it's working!!!!
 

It is working, MAN!!!!

If I had only known that I needed the sound driver installed.

Sorry about not totally understanding everything about this computer. There are so many different things to go wrong, I was just happy to get XP running.

Thanks for the support, even though it has been a pain.

Well, my favorite quote this week,

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Says a lot.

Seve

:) :) :) :)

its all good !!


sometimes you need a little laugh to keep things moving in the right direction!

thanks Beavis
