Just sorted out the problem. It was with an old BIOS. Installed the new BIOS and Win XP installation smooth-sailed!!! Surprisingly, old BIOS can go with Windows 7 But not with Win XP SP3!!! Strange enough!!!

I am making it clear that I know how to create an .iso file and how to import the .iso image into a flash drive. When the image imported image from Flash Drive is burned in a disc, there is no problem in getting a clean install of Windows XP SP3. Moreover I can also clean install Windows 7...

Whenever I try to clean install Win XP SP3 from my flash drive, it properly boots but thereafter gives the message: "No previous version of Windows NTcan be found on your computer. Setup cannot verify that you qualify to install this upgrade product. To quit Setup, press F3." There is...

Whether anybody purchased Sony E-Book Reader PRs-600 in India? At what price? In which stores (specially in Kolkata) it is available (I know, it is not officially marketed by Sony India)?

Feeling shock apart, whether insufficient grounding is at all harmful to PC? To what extent?

From cost-quality perspective, BSNL DataOne is the best I think. At Rs. 5000/- a year, you can get 2.5 GB per month download, 2-8AM unlimited download with up to 2 mbps speed.

Seagate USB2 only with external Power supply 1TB HDD is available at Alco, 5 Princep Street for Rs. 4700/-.

If it is BSNL problem then how it is possible that there is not even a single disconnection in SIX hours each for 2-3 days configured at Bridge mode whereas regular disconnection in 25-30 minutes at PPPoE/PPPoA mode? Tested in both LAN and USB; same problem.

I have a BSNL Home 500 (dynamic IP) Internet plan with DLink DSL502T ADSL modem. I experience compulsory disconnection and automatic re-connection at an interval of 25-30 minute when the modem is configured in PPPoE/PPPoA mode. As a result, downloading gets stopped (but surprisingly IP address...

I have ASUS M3N78-EM Motherboard running on a quad-core processor. As there is only one IDE port in the motherboard, I have to put IDE hard disc in the middle and DVD writer drive at the end of the IDE cable. I also have a SATA Hard disc in my system. But whenever I transfer data from IDE drive...

I have a bootable Windows Vista on a USB Pen drive which boots perfectly at my HP Laptop but does not boot on my desktop (ASUS M3N78-EM Motherboard, AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-core 2.3 GHz Processor with 2GB RAM. What may be the possible problems?
