Ok, I am having a prob with my Hard drive. From other various site, it says to have a boot or system disk, but none of my stuff came with anything like that. My computer when I boot it up it stops at "verifying DMI pool data" or goes on to the XP setup, but once the setup starts it say something like "cannot find Hard drive" soemthing to that effect. So what is up?

So how do I make one, and how do I get it to work?

your windows disk is a boot disk and should allow you to format and partiton your hard drive.

how could you put it in wrong?

I also fixed the heat prob, It runs about 32-37 C when I am using regular programs like IE and stuff, but when I go play games like Black Hawk Down (came with my Vid card.) it goes up to 42-48C. Is that a ok heat range? It is overclocked to a 3200+ and the ram is on turbo in BIOS, which i think is something like overclocking, and I haven't yet overclocked the vid card. It seems to handle everything good with out it.

I am going to be getting some better games soon, after i return some
X-mas things.

thanks for all your help.

Are you just using the heatsink/fan that came with your CPU or do you have a big 3rd-party one?
