replaced it.

I have an Asus A7N8X running XP SP2 with 2 SATA drives. Intermittently,
it refuses to boot. If I then boot from a CD (using PEBuider) both disks

I have Brother HL-5250DN network printer hooked up to a four port
LinkSys switch which is attached to a LinkSys router.  It's been

I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 system 1.4ghtz, 512meg RAM and it has an LG
DVD/CD-RW drive combo installed.  In recent days I have been getting
