Nodda4me (10:50:30 AM): Hi
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:50:34 AM): hello
Nodda4me (10:50:48 AM): How do I make two drives one?
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:50:59 AM): you have to have raid on your mobo
Nodda4me (10:52:16 AM): I think mines a K DDR 266
Nodda4me (10:53:34 AM): There's a switch on my motherbord??
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:53:46 AM): probably
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:53:47 AM): I dunno
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:53:50 AM): go look
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:54:06 AM): a good way to tell is to submerge it in a full fishtank
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:54:19 AM): while it's plugged in to the power supply
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:54:25 AM): and see if it lights up
Nodda4me (10:55:13 AM): Put what in a fishtank
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:55:48 AM): your mobo
Nodda4me (10:55:58 AM): wouldnt that kill it
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:56:12 AM): not if you take the cmos battery out
Nodda4me (10:56:27 AM): what would light up
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:56:49 AM): the transistors
Nodda4me (10:57:07 AM): k how do i make 2 drives 1
Nodda4me (10:57:28 AM): both 8.
Nodda4me (10:57:32 AM): 8.09 gb
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:57:34 AM): you weld them together
Nodda4me (10:57:44 AM): ??
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:57:53 AM): splice the ide cables
Nodda4me (10:57:53 AM): C: and D:
Nodda4me (10:57:59 AM): their the same harddrive
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:58:11 AM): oh you have it partitioned
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:58:21 AM): just cut the ide cable
Nodda4me (10:58:36 AM): big one?
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:58:44 AM): the one that goes into the harddrive
Nodda4me (10:58:56 AM): cut it??
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:59:14 AM): yeah
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:59:20 AM): then it'll just say c:
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:59:24 AM): 8 gb
Nodda4me (10:59:42 AM): no i want a 16.18 gb
Nodda4me (10:59:48 AM): i have 2 8.09
o0 SandmaN 0o (10:59:59 AM): you said both c and d were the same hard drive
Nodda4me (11:00:04 AM): they are
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:00:14 AM): then you have it partitioned
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:00:19 AM): you have to cut the ide cable
Nodda4me (11:00:29 AM): but u said that will make it 8 gb
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:00:39 AM): well to use the other drive
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:00:48 AM): you spice the ide cable where it connects to the hard drive
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:00:54 AM): wrap some tin foil around it
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:01:03 AM): tape it to the connector on the other drive
Nodda4me (11:01:04 AM): spice
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:01:06 AM): splice
Nodda4me (11:01:19 AM): isnt there an easier way in bios or something
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:01:25 AM): no
Nodda4me (11:01:27 AM): ?
Nodda4me (11:02:10 AM): have u used windows 2k
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:02:42 AM): just cut the ide cable, split the end that connects to the hard drive, strip the insulation off, wrap it in tin foil, and tape it to the connector on the other hard drive
Nodda4me (11:03:13 AM):
Nodda4me (11:03:39 AM): split what the big cord or the one going from the power box
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:03:49 AM): it's a flat gray chord
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:03:57 AM): goes from the mobo to the hard drive
Nodda4me (11:04:02 AM): split it
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:04:05 AM): yeah
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:04:12 AM): and strip the insulation off the left side
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:04:13 AM): or the right
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:04:15 AM): doesn't matter
Nodda4me (11:04:28 AM): cant i just get a cord with 2 pieces
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:04:34 AM): no it won't work right
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:04:36 AM): i've tried
Nodda4me (11:04:49 AM): ok split it all the way down?
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:04:55 AM): just about an inch
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:05:02 AM): so make sure when you cut it off you leave about 2 inches
Nodda4me (11:05:23 AM): then plug it back in
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:05:53 AM): the part that goes to the mobo
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:05:58 AM): strip that too
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:06:11 AM): and take some tin foil and wrap it around the other tin foil and the other ide cable
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:06:15 AM): make sure you tape it
Nodda4me (11:06:36 AM): .
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:06:45 AM): use electrical tape
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:06:49 AM): the black stuff
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:06:54 AM): or even duct tape
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:07:00 AM): masking tape will start a fire
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:07:07 AM): i had to learn that the hard way
Nodda4me (11:07:10 AM): my floppy drive gots a flat one with 3 partsa
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:07:37 AM): the floppy drive cable has a twist in it
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:07:40 AM): you can't use it
Nodda4me (11:07:49 AM): ?
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:07:53 AM): <--tried that before and it started sparking
Nodda4me (11:08:00 AM): lol
Nodda4me (11:08:22 AM): my friend 2 days ago did something and a couple of cords burnt
Nodda4me (11:08:46 AM): and yesteday when we were fixing his comp getting win 2k and other stuff working, another cord burnt
Nodda4me (11:08:50 AM): we cut it off
Nodda4me (11:09:40 AM): can u format from right clicking on a drive
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:09:50 AM): yeah
Nodda4me (11:09:54 AM): me2
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:09:59 AM): but it's best to go into dos and do it

o0 SandmaN 0o (11:31:55 AM): no
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:32:16 AM): I don't know why you keep wanting to put the disk in first
Nodda4me (11:32:24 AM): to get to dos
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:32:25 AM): it won't work right that way
Nodda4me (11:32:34 AM): how do i reformat then
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:32:36 AM): cuz win2k is screwed up
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:32:43 AM): use the car battery

Nodda4me (11:32:49 AM): no
Nodda4me (11:32:51 AM): thats gay
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:33:03 AM): i guess you don't want it to work right
Nodda4me (11:33:18 AM): i REFORMAT C: and put win2k cd in~
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:33:43 AM): yeah sure
Nodda4me (11:33:46 AM): ?
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:33:51 AM): it's not gonna work right
Nodda4me (11:33:55 AM): what wont work right
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:33:56 AM): so it doesn't matter what you do
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:34:07 AM): so just do whatever you want

Nodda4me (11:34:47 AM): wtf~
Nodda4me (11:34:59 AM): y not?
Nodda4me (11:35:01 AM): ***********
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:35:07 AM): I already told you
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:35:10 AM): but you won't listen
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:35:18 AM): so do whatever you want
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:35:21 AM): doesn't matter
Nodda4me (11:35:41 AM): can i just put 2k cd in now and do CLEAN INSTALL
(IM Window Cleared)
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:36:27 AM): sure if you want to end up replacing your mobo
Nodda4me (11:36:40 AM): ?
Nodda4me (11:36:44 AM): how do i install it then
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:36:45 AM): why don't you just hit it with a brick and get it over with
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:37:05 AM): why don't you just throw your whole comp in a chipper
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:37:11 AM): save you some time
Nodda4me (11:37:19 AM): HOW DO I INSTALL IT
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:37:24 AM): I already told you
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:37:31 AM): I hate repeating myself
Nodda4me (11:37:40 AM): and i wont use gay jumper cables
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:38:06 AM): there's only one other way to do it
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:38:29 AM): you have to strip the power chord and wrap it around a stripped ide cable and plug it in, then unplug it and get a new power chord
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:38:40 AM): then hit f2+esc when it's booting up
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:38:56 AM): it'll automatically reset cmos and format the c drive
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:39:16 AM): but you have to get another power chord
Nodda4me (11:39:40 AM): the cords that goto the wall
Nodda4me (11:39:42 AM): i got plenty
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:39:44 AM): oh
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:39:47 AM): then you can do it then
Nodda4me (11:40:09 AM): but im not going to mess with any cords just to install 2k
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:40:09 AM): i only have one so I have to use the gay jumper cables :-(
Nodda4me (11:40:37 AM): what if i reformat c: then put in windows ME cd and install ME then when i get to windows i install 2k
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:41:02 AM): ouch
Nodda4me (11:41:07 AM): ?
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:41:08 AM): that'd just be more work
Nodda4me (11:41:17 AM): would it work
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:41:57 AM): yeah but you might have to put the ram in the other way
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:42:01 AM): it's picky about that
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:42:08 AM): and you have to flex the board to get it in that way
Nodda4me (11:42:10 AM): other way
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:42:11 AM): so it's just more work
Nodda4me (11:42:17 AM): theres only one way to put the ram in
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:42:25 AM): you can flex the board
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:42:29 AM): and put it in the other way
Nodda4me (11:42:29 AM): ??
Nodda4me (11:42:38 AM): ?
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:42:39 AM): we did that in hardware class
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:42:45 AM): last week
Nodda4me (11:42:54 AM): how do i just intsall 2k
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:44:03 AM): ok the easiest way that will comprimise performance severely is just put the cd in and do the power chord splice on the ide cable
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:44:30 AM): to do it without comprimising performance you have to first splice the cable and then put the cd in
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:44:41 AM): if you do it your way you'll have to flip the ram
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:44:45 AM): more work
Nodda4me (11:44:57 AM): how the fuck do i do it without doin shit instide the computer
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:45:25 AM): uhh the only way I see is by weakening the laser
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:45:37 AM): you'd have to put a cd in and put the os cd on top of it
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:45:51 AM): the bottom one will get scratched up
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:45:53 AM): so make sure it's blank
Nodda4me (11:46:14 AM): .....
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:47:57 AM): well that's all I know to do
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:47:59 AM): hope it helps
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:48:03 AM): let me know how it works out
o0 SandmaN 0o (11:48:05 AM): later
