For what its worth, I think I would try the old master in a USB external case. Sounds like the files are still there but the password protection is blocking access. If you can't get them, you may want to Google for software to hack those passwords. May come up empty, but I had a similar...

Since your running XP you might want to consider getting an external USB drive enclosure for the old drive. You just take the old drive out of your computer, put it in the external enclosure, plug it into a USB port, and there it is. You can avoid doing all of the stuff necessary inside of the...

I purchased a new PS today. I took the MB out of the case so that the only thing hooked up is the power to the MB, the power switch from the case to the MB, and the power cord between the PS and the outlet. I press the power switch, the MB gets power for a split second, the diagnostic LEDs...

Thanks guys for your help. Raiden, I'm leaning towards the PSU myself because before this happened the computer had been randomly losing power every now and then. It wouldn't go completely off and shut off, it would just blink. I thought it was a problem with an old battery back-up and I...

Look, I'm new to this site. I was referred here by someone who thought I might be able to get some help here. Post calling me "unsmart" and "dumb", ect, aren't help, so I, nor anyone else I'd imagine, needs or appreciates them. If that is what you get on this forum, you guys have fun here and...

It doesn't look like anyone on this board has any info that can help me. Can anyone reccomend another forum where I might post my problem to try and get some help? Thanks for any suggestions.

I know, and I'm not going to be doing that anymore! No, I don't have another computer to try the power supply in. Any other suggestions? I pulled the MB out of the box and plugged the power supply into it. Still no luck, but the board definatley is not shorted out to the case. Thanks alot...

Came home today and my computer was dead. No fans, no drive lights, no nothing. Monitor was working but wasn't getting a video signal from the computer. When I hit the power switch, the computer "burps" like it gets a quick surge of power, then dies. No POST, nothing. Even the LED lights on the...
