Re: Out of action.

IF it is a boot virus one way round it is to do a search for Portable Apps and get a USB key and copy some virus scanner software onit. Boot from the USB (or DVD etc) and scan your computer that way. Example http://www.pendriveapps.com/software/portable-antivirus-firewall/ Ora better way to clean it...

Re: Left 4 Dead 2

Re: RAID

Well im looking at RAID 1 for the backup purposes but a bit worried about the thrashing as I do render a lot of raw video around 2gig in size down to 300meg in FLV format.

Anyhow looks a thing to try while upgrading to Win7 :D

RAID

Thinking of setting up a raid system with two 'Hitachi Deskstar 2TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache - OEM' drives, BUT have little experience with setting this up. I know my motherboard etc supports it all and want to use it with Windows 7.

Any advice out there?

Dunno if you know or not but you can also backup all the steam games so you dont have to redownload them.

Re: WINDOWS 7 PROS & CONS

OK Call me stupid but best say this just for education ;) Dont go thinking you can buy the 7 upgrade 64bit and use it to upgrade the 32bit XP you all have, cos it wont work... even with a few of the hacks about it causes major problems! So don't bother if thats what ya trying to do.. Like me lol. Wi...
