After turning on my computer one day I noticed that the speaker output has signifcantly decreased. I thought it may be the speakers but they crank when hooked up to any other source. I use Ubuntu Linux and was thinking that maybe there was something with the volume control or something like...

Is it possible that the reason things are screwing up is because the new SP1 and 2 are not installed. I know windows didn't support harddrives over liek 80 gb until you isntalled those. While it reads the disk as a 190 gb hdrive is it possible that the reaosn some of the files aren't working...

so you boot from the windows xp cd. when i do that it just goes into dos.

alright so my system just booted with a cd in the drive and said IDE DRIVES INSTILLATION ERROR For best reliablity and performance, please change the stand alone slave drive to master. This only seems to happen when there is a disk in one of my cd-rom drives, any help?

obviously defying with the RIAA isn't a great idea, but there are millions of people who do it every day. as for protowall it is completely legal, not much different then like blocking certain ports on your router.
