your HDD may be bad. I have had a number of HDD that appear fine in the BIOS but won't format either via the install disk or separately via a Linux boot disc.(You can somtimes hear them clicking on and off [seeking])

If you are mad keen on the drive, then D/L 'Hirens Boot Disc' and boot into the DOS mode (it also has a Mini XP mode).and use the HDD format utlity 'killdisk'. This will remove anything on the drive, format it and set it up ready for a fresh install.

If Hirens Boot Disk can't see the SATA drive then its stuffed.. for sure..

that means either your device need a driver or its not in working condition any more

first option is more related

download and install driver of your mp3 player then connect it and it will work fine

if not then check it with any other computer if mp3 player is working fine or not

yes... that is compatable.

It sounds like your Windows XP might be missing the USB2 drivers. Try going here http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/ and download the driver needed and see if that fixes your issue.

Did you switch the pins in the back of the new drive from master to slave? If you have them set both to master, you might have conflict. good luck

Did you install the drivers ->First from the CD, then install the graphics card?

No? Start over.

Once you install a device, Windows rushes over to match a driver with it. If you do not have THE driver already installed, (So Windows can find it), Windows will match up one of it's thousands of Generic drivers, or use the Onboard graphics driver already in use.

Power down, unplug the computer from power. Remove the graphics card observing anti-static precautions.
Press the Power On button in, and hold it in.
Hold it in for a count of Five seconds. (Count, 1001,..1002,..1003,..1004,..1005)
Let go of the Power On button. Do this procedure Two more times.

What you are doing is resetting BIOS back to the factory default settings, and clearing CMOS Error Codes.

Now plug your monitor back into the VGA port, in the I/O area of the Asus P5GC-MX mobo.
Plug the computer back into power. WAIT 1 minute, turn the computer on. When Windows has fully loaded, and all of your Start Menu programs, install the Drivers CD for the Nvidia 9500GT in your optical drive. Install the software.

If it asks you to restart your computer, Do Not at this time. Shut the computer down normally. Unplug from power. Observe anti-static precautions. Plug the Nvidia card in. Plug the monitor into the Nvidia card. Close the computer case.
Plug the computer back into power. WAIT 1 minute, turn the computer on.

Now, hows that?

[Advanced PCI/PnP Settings should be:
1.Plug n Play O/S -> No
2.PCI Latency Timer -> 64
3.Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA -> Yes
4.Pallete Snooping -> Disabled
5.All IRQ's (3 through 15) are set to -> PCI Device]

Hi,
First of all is this a new graphics card? If it is take the card out of the PCI Express slot, get a clean, dry, soft paintbrush and clean the PCI Express slot, then blow on the slot to remove any residual dust.
Make sure the brass contacts on the card are clean and then reinsert the card, make sure it clips into place properly and you secure the card with the screw at the back of the computer, then try booting the machine.

If you bought the card second hand then there is a possibility that the card is faulty.
Luckily for you i now a way to bring a dead graphics card back to life but you do it at your own risk.

Let me know how you get on and good luck.

Hi..
This happen due to 3 reasons,
The Hard drive is bad.
The BIOS Setting have to be put to SATA.
During the the installation the have to press the F6 option to install the SATA drive drivers.

Let me know
Thanks

The MB you mention does not support SATA it has noSATA connectors

are you using ide or sata connection? if your using sata conection between your motherboard and harddrive, you must enable it in your bios, just reboot your pc and keep pressing F2 while its booting to prompt your bios. There you can look for IDE/SATA configuration. After enabling your sata, save any changes before you exit and reboot... Just give it a try...

try to replace the RAM ...

Hope this site helps,

This MIGHT be a driver related problem, but it could also be build problem. Are using the front panel outlets or the rear on-board outlets?

If its the front ones make sure they are going to the right sockets on the motherboard.. if its rear outlets from the motherboard then its definitely a driver issue.

However, check where the CD audio cable is going to on the M/B first.

I can barely understand what you are saying. But if I have it right the system reboots by itself when a CD is inserted...

NEVER remove the data cable while the power is on. [you only get away with this once or twice and then you WILL break something.]

Do not connect a HDD to the same cable as your CD drive. The CD/DVD drive should be on its own cable witt nothing else attached [80pin conductor]. The HDD should be on its own cable. It has a different cable with different configuration and is NOT suitable for your DVD/CD...

When you start a PC the first thing it does is load the Video BIOS based on the selection in the BIOS ie. whether you selected the onboard or PCIE or AGP etc. the setting in the BIOS determines which chipset loads the video. Obviously you need to have the monitor plugged into the one that the BIOS is loading.

If you are not seeing anything from either port you have a conflict. If you hear 2 quick beeps on startup (instead of one long one [normal]) then you have a system config mismatch. Ie memory conflict [ie. different speed/size sticks] and this will also stop the video from loading.

If however, the system appears to be loading [ie. you can see the HDD light flickering] then you have a stuffed video card that is causing the problem.

Quickest way around all of this is to remove the second card and only use the onboard video until you have a stable system. THEN introduce the second card.

Sounds like a lot here, but just follow the bouncing ball...

lancard drivers give me a link plz

If it is a new drive, then you need to partition and format it for windows to see it. To do this, click START, RUN and type in compmgmt.msc. CLick on Disk Managment. Look for the new drive, right click on it and select partition. When that is finish, right click the drive again and select format. Format the drive as NTSF..

check the cable connected from cd rom to the motherboard..try to replace it...

Check out:

Input the model etc. on the left.

Visit this website:

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

At the top left where there's an input box reading, "Input Model to Search" insert the name of your motherboard (P5LD2-VM) then press, "Search Info." Afterward you will be asked to click on the name of your motherboard. Next you will be asked to select your OS (Operating System). An operating system would be Windows XP, for example. You need to make sure the OS you're selecting is the one installed on your computer, otherwise the drivers won't fit.

After selecting an OS you will finally be at the drivers download page. Hope this helped, let me know if I can help you further.
