| 298443 | 2004-11-30 16:56:00 | When I bought my new comp (Pavilion t640a) it had five devices showing in MY Computer and Device Manager. There were Removable Disk E F G and H. and USB mass storage device. I removed my hard disk and installed the disk from my old computer complete with Win XP. I rebooted and thes items were still showing. I uninstalled them from device manager and the disappeared. BUT when I reboot they are back again. To me it seems they are installed from BIOS. Any opinions? How do I get rid of them???? Everest identifies my motherboard as an ASUS P4SD-LA Jack |

| 298447 | 2004-11-30 18:34:00 | What is an embedded memory card reader? Device Manager now shows,under IDE ATA/Atapi controllers twp entries for Intel 82801EB ultra ATA storage controllers. Also 1394 Bus host controllers. Also network Adapters.(which I have disabled because the were interfearing with my modem) None of these were on the disk so they must be on the new motherboard Jack |

| 298448 | 2004-11-30 19:04:00 | An embedded memory card reader is a bit like a floppy drive except that you insert memory cards rather than floppy disks. They normally have 5 slots of various sizes for the different types of cards. If you have one you won't miss it, it will be on the front of your PC along with the floppy & CD/DVD drives. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 298449 | 2004-11-30 19:18:00 | 1394 is firewire. And people do have probs with this, as XP reads it as a network adapter/ BUT dont disable it as firewire is handy and fast, if u have any firewire devices or intend to get any. | Spacemannz (808) | ||
| 298450 | 2004-11-30 19:24:00 | On the front of my case I have I have a slot labelled "Smart Media/xd" another labelled "Compact Flash 1/11" another "MMC/SD" and finaly one"MS/MS PRO". Plus connections for 1394 and 3 for USB 2. At least I know what the USB ones are, but I haven'f a clue what the others are. BUT I have no floppy disk. Which I want. I also have a HP dvd writer/cd-writer combo. Jack |

| 298451 | 2004-11-30 19:27:00 | Spacemannz: I do not have any firewire devices and I do not want any. I want to get rid of all the surplus devices. And I want a floppy disk. Jack |

| 298452 | 2004-11-30 19:29:00 | On the front of my case I have I have a slot labelled "Smart Media/xd" another labelled "Compact Flash 1/11" another "MMC/SD" and finaly one"MS/MS PRO" This is the card reader. You need memory cards etc to use it. Handy if u have a digital camera, which uses one of the above. I use one here. An Apacer internal USB 2 reader. Saves u connecting a digital camera with cables to the PC, just take a pic (with a card in the cam), then slot it into the slot in the reader. XP opens it and displays the pic/whatever on the card. 1394 can be used for things like digital video cams which have firewire, external hdd's with firewire on them...and external burners which may have firewire. |
