Gigabyte EP35-DSR3 issues solved
After much hair tairing and BIOS flashing, RAM switching and swapping, hours
of BIOS settings playing, I noticed that whenever the system booted with the BIOS changed for Auto on any fsb or memory settings whatsover, before the system hung the USB external Vantec enclosure drive's light would flicker and go out. This is an eSATA unit but I had it hooked with USB 2.0 connector. I yanked the cable, set the fsb at 390 and the vcore up at 2.5000 and it has been rock solid in Orthos for over an hour. Very strange. I've never heard of run in to this particular quirk before. The external drive would be the last thing I would think of.

Gigabyte EP35-DSR3 issues solved
I've had a time myself trying to find a USB 2.5" IDE enclosure for my
laptop HD that will agree with my Gigabyte K8NS-939 nforce 3. One of the rejects was a Vantec. Gigabyte support gave me some nforce 4 drivers, which improved things alot. But still, I have to make sure that trash bin has released the drive's partitions or problems happen when I want to remove the drive or shut down windows, with my present Cooler Master enclosure. Tomorrow I'll be trying an Icy Dock. My 3.5" Bytecc enclosure has no such problems; neither do my thumb drives. --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Iraq Veterans Against the War: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

Gigabyte EP35-DSR3 issues solved
I just got my Icy Dock MB448UA enclosure and have begun to test it, but
I must run into town. It's interface is 30 Mb/s. Windows has set it to write cacheing, no choice available, and trash bin off, no choice to activate. I think this bodes well, but will test its abilities to not crash things on shutdown later. They offer a dock that goes in an external 3.5" bay and lets you slide in the portable usb enclosure and use it on IDE! Wow. The back of the portable has an indented connector for IDE. Nice that the enclosure is aluminum and contacts the top of the drive. No shock mounting grommets for the HD, though. --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Iraq Veterans Against the War: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

Gigabyte EP35-DSR3 issues solved
The Icy Dock solved all my problems. It's as if the chipsets in the
other ones weren't programmed to clearly identify themselves as removable. My advice is to ditch the Vantec and get the Icy Dock MB448UA at newegg. Right now there's a $10 rebate so it will only be about $17. --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Iraq Veterans Against the War: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

The Icy Dock is $18 at Directron, with the rebate! Only $8 afterwards.
I've bought stuff from them before. http://www.directron.com/mb448uab.html --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Iraq Veterans Against the War: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

Gigabyte EP35-DSR3 issues solved
Nuts. It still has one issue. You have to plug it in *after* booting or
it won't disconnect for minutes, and shutting down Windows to clear it takes ages. Must be the motherboard. However, so far, if you plug it in after booting it's fine. --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Iraq Veterans Against the War: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

That was my new XP install and I hadn't changed trash bin from the global setting, so the setting for the USB drive was greyed out. Oops.
