Re: Windows 7 - I am only replacing the OS on a desktop PC with no touch screen so is it best to go for Windows 7 or is there an arguement for buying Windows 8 and running it in desktop mode because it maybe faster or something else?
As there is only one device plugged in on the ide cable - the cd - it looks like the CPU does look at jumper settings as there are possible contentions.
Re: The error message you are seeing has nothing to do with the SATA controller being set to AHCI or IDE . The IDE drive you removed was set to master and the CD drive was set to slave. I'm going to move to Windows 7 but thought I'd try out moving the jumper on the back of the CD - as per the...
Ah yes its a Samsung. Looks like the same driver supports both 32 and 64 bit windows 7 Yes its a bit low budget - around £50 and hopefully the toner cartiridges can be bought cheaply online - but the idea was to get away from photo printers - as I don't print photos much and it has been...
Its a Samsung ML-2165 (wired) This site http://www.helpjet.net/files-Samsung-ML-2165.html seems a 'driver' for windows 7 (does not specify 32 or 64 bit) and 'software' for windows 7 32 and 64 bit. Which implies 64bit windows 7 is supported.
Is it a 'no-brainer' to use Windows 7 64 bit? ie there are no issues with things like printers, mice, usb sticks that are a year or two old that will not work because they did not come with 64k windows 7 device drivers?
Re: 'processor is 64k' - my XP is 32k. Re: SSD and XP: there are so many issues and it sounds like it won't be as fast as SSD with windows 7 that I'm not likely to pursue it further! Re:windows 7 and SSD - I have already replaced a Sata drive in a windows 7 netbook (about 1 year old) with a...
Re: Trim - I think the Samsung Magician utility that comes with the SSD has a facility that will aid garbage collection - but its a manual utility so not great. Re: Thanks for the tip on the jumper for the CD - will try it at the weekend. Re: download the XP drivers for the SSD - I presume you...

When I say I have only seen three modes: ide, achi and raid - this is from looking around on the internet at SATA Bios settings - not had chance to look at my PC settings.
My understanding was that the register changes to msahci preventing the bsod and it should boot up ok. Re: change it to SATA mode - I have only seen 3 modes: ide, achi and raid - do you mean ide - ie run the sata as ide until have made the changes for ahci?
