HELP !!! HARD DRIVE HEADACHE
I did a reinstall, but that didn't work. I then deleted the program via the Control Panel, and tried the reinstall. Again, no luck. I at first thought it might be the DVD/CD drive, but it reads other CDs, like Email archives, images, etc. What do I do now? Hopeully not reinstall XP.

WAnt a cheap Mac not made by Apple but Core?
BIOS does not list the hard drive as one of the IDE devices...only the DVD/CD drive. It had been autodetected in the past, but not now. The only thing I could think of trying was to manually feed the hard drive setting to bios...but I didn't have that info on hand at the time. I'm gonna have to look it up,

OEM Win98SE vs. Full Retail Version Win98SE
To get past this problem I had to disable the scan for hard drives (F11,F5 at boot) and I had to remove my CD-RW drive so the installer could find the DVD/CD drive. When I had both CD drives in it didn't matter what I selected: cd0 or cd1. Either one, the installer would indicate it couldn't find the file it was

XB360's DVD drive should have been modular...
However, a PC's CD/DVD drive is going to be much faster than the drive in the PS3, so the process won't take as long - even if the PC has to uncompress files. The last game that took 20+ And even then, the load times on the PS3 only end up being about 1 second faster than the 360 that didn't do the install?

Tech Advice?
If he is stupid enough to get that new drive in PATA format, and uses whatever he currently has DVD/CD drive wise, its full. SATA optical drives are coming soon too, If you waited SO LONG that it didn't have PATA anymore, THEN you would buy a PCI card. Makes a lot more sense to have bought SATA instead.

I presume that you are talking about a DVD/CD drive that supports DVD-RAM. It would serve no purpose on a DVD-RAM only drive. Which model are you having I didn't check the URL, mainly because it was the URL that I quoted. The reference to DVD-RAM drives is clearly those drives that work with DVD-RAM disks only.

The number of discs won't stop people from purchasing a game they like though. FFVII came on four CD's on the PS1, didn't harm the PS1 did it! The PC version also came with four CD's and you couldn't install the game on your PC; you just inserted the CD when promted. iono if dvds were even available circa FFVII...
