IDE connectors on the motherboard, can they be used?

Hi new to the forum. I have an a1747c and my DVD/RW quit player. I'm sure I have fried it backup my files, in any case I was looking at the connectors on the motherboard and saw the unused ide connectors. None of the drives are IDE, but you can use the ide connectors at the same time with the hard drive and dvd ide not? hope my question of sense, thxs advance, Terry

It does not matter what IDE channel you use.  Things to check are: 1) make sure that the correct end of the ground is connected to the motherboard - usually the blue end. ((2) check jumper on IDE device - if the device is the only device on the cable layer, to 'Master' 3) check in the BIOS if the device is recognized 4) if 'yes' to 3) then check in "Device Manager" to see if recognized if 'no' to 3) or 4) check connections for cable connection and the power of Ribbon.  (5) does DVD flicker at startup power light?

  • Win 7 OS linked to the bios of the motherboard can it be changed?

    A few weeks ago, I bought a new laptop Presario CQ 57 339 of WM.   It came with Windows 7 installed, of course.  I tried to get used to this OS, but I can't stand, it makes me crazy.  I'm an experienced user, I had a PC since first they came out.  I formatted and partitioned... hard drives together, 9 yards but this is the first time that I ran into a situation where I can't remove an operating system and install another.  I bought... ... BOUGHT a new XP package to replace the OEM Win 7, but it is not allowing me to use it.  It seems to me now that the OS is related to the card motherboard/Bios, (that I didn't know when I bought the laptop), I can't change the operating system to one that I prefer, not Linux, not XP, not anything.  My question is this: this designation in the BIOS can be changed?  I can't take much more of my blood pressure rising on all issues with Win 7.  I really need to get rid of him, or to sell the laptop and buy a refurbished with XP installed.  Indeed, if the PC is on the disappearance, this must be one of the reasons - the forced control put on the buyer now when they buy a computer.  It's like buying a frying pan and then discover, you can only use one brand of eggs when you want to make your breakfast.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi, married:

    The reason why you have trouble to install XP is that XP is too old to have the new disk controller drivers preloaded, and on a consumer notebook, there is no setting in the BIOS to change the emulation to disk controller to a legacy (IDE) mode.

    So, the lower upgrade guide is good, but you really need this first guide and read the section on Intel chipsets that will give you the advice you need to integrate the SATA AHCI controller drivers in a copy of your XP disc using nLite.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/TD-p/114120

    Under the Intel section, use the first method on the wake all the drivers. Don't bother precisely tailored that you need for installation.

    I attach the files that you must wake below.

  • Satellite A60 - how to fix a female connector on the motherboard?

    I have a Satellite A60 which is since 2005. About 6 months ago the CPU fan started running all the time and recently, the computer began to fade.

    Thinking that it is ongoing overheating, I decided to completely disassemble the computer, clean it thoroughly, remove the old thermal paste and install one DIMM memory more important.

    Well, everything goes like clockwork, until I tried to put the connector of the power on switch in the plug. It wasn't easy so I put gently a little more pressure on the connector using tweezers. At this time, the socket broke apart from the motherboard.

    I don't have the tools for a welding job, but could a competent technician successfully reattach or is there a new mobo in my future.

    Thanks for the tips!

  • [ADF, JDev12.1.3] Page of the input parameters: 1) expression for a value of type enum? (2) can they be used to initialize CIU?

    Hallo,

    I have a backingBean extended myBean bean 'associate' to a page fragment used in a stubborn workflow.

    I want to declare to the fragment in the settings of btf 2 who have a fixed value. Their values should be copied in 2 myBeanattributes.

    An attribute is Boolean, and I guess it does not give any problem, but the other is to an enum type that is defined in the myBean bean itself.

    I have to write in "value *" pass the enum value to var enum in myBean?

    And if the "value *" have been a public static final string of a Java class in the application Module which expression I should use?

    I would like to use parameters of entry Page to initialize (hide, show,...) in myBean some component of the user interface in the page fragment? Is this possible without intervention in any problem? Can kindlu give you some tips to achieve this?

    Thank you

    Federico

    It also works with range backingBean?

    I don't know (I just created a few vars inside managed bean in my application of playground).

    The fragment contains a search with table form and it's always the same, whereas the bean (containing the search called action when the user clicks on the button 'Search') should take the page settings to compose the search query according to them.

    Yes, but that are not exactly 'page settings' because you retrieve the values of the url of the page, right?

    In conclusion, the problem is that I should switch to the different settings depending on the btf bean where the fragment is used.

    You have a better idea to achieve this?

    Then why you are not using the BTF settings (they will be in pageFlowScope)

  • Pre-install Windows 8 motherboard, the motherboard can be replaced

    Hello

    IM thinking of upgrading my motherboard MSI Computer Corporation LGA 1155 B75 Intel so I can add an additional graphics card but windows 8 is related to the motherboard or not

    Hello:

    Windows 8 is connected to the motherboard.

    There is no product key to use.

    If you upgrade a new motherboard, you will need to purchase a new license W8 or W7.

    It would have been necessary anyway since it is illegal to install an OEM operating system on a motherboard upgrade.

    At Microsoft, a motherboard upgrade = a new PC and an OEM license cannot be transferred to a motherboard upgraded or to another PC.

  • We clicked on "Compact messages" in Outlook Express and 6 months of messages disappeared! Any ideas as to the why, where they could be, and how they can be recovered?

    We watched in 'Deleted items' and they weren't there.  We also "restored" the bin "recycling" and even did not see them return.

    Hi James,

    Thanks for posting. Please, try the following.

    • Make sure that Outlook Express is not working.
    • Open the Recycle Bin on your Windows desktop .
    • Locate the files ".bak" corresponding to Outlook Express folders that you want to retrieve.
      • The '.bak' file will be named as the folder in Outlook Express.
      • To restore a folder called "Archive", look for "Archive.bak", for example.
    • Click on the file '.bak' with the right button of the mouse.
    • Select restore from the menu.
    • Locate the file in Windows Explorer and open the folder that contains.
    • Drag and drop the file ".dbx" corresponding to the Outlook Express folder, you want to get back to your Office .
    • In the Outlook Express store folder, click the '.bak' file to be retrieved using the right button of the mouse.
    • Select Rename from the menu.
    • Change the file extension ".bak" in ".dbx".
      • If the file was called "Archive.bak", for example, make sure that it is named "Archive.dbx" now.
    • Open Outlook Express.
    • If your emails have been recovered, remove the ".dbx" file you moved to the desktop .

    Also, if you cannot find the files in the above location search your computer *. Bak

    I hope this helps!

    I think the upgrade of CS4 CS5 versions, and one of the considerations that would affect my decision would be able to use the old version on my 2nd computer (a laptop).  Is this allowed?   Currently I have to disable Photoshop on my desktop PC and activate it on my laptop so for use during a trip, and I always forget to do, so I find myself not not using Photoshop on my laptop at all.
