scrappydoo Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 What is the significance of this icon? I never had it show up on my last rig and I had 3 different things in usb ports. Why is it recognizing my harddrive and not my printer since my harddrive is SATA and my printer is usb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapas Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I'm curious. Did you install Windows XP SP1 or SP2? If the Windows installer only sees 130GB, you don't have LBA48 enabled. This will cause you trouble in the future. If you can, I suggest you get a Windows XP SP2 CD and reinstall with that CD. You do have to recreate the partition too, cause that 130GB partition will be faulty with LBA48. I messed my partition table with one of these problems. I recommend you to recreate your partitions with a LBA48-enabled OS (Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP SP2). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Proton Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Good info. I hope he sees it. He may not bother checking back as the problem has already been solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
