when i install a fresh copy of windows i shall partition 20gb for it, when i get into windows i have a windows home copy with sp2 built into it, does this mean it will install usb drivers from that etc, i heard with the nf4 boards usb drivers from the mother board cd should be done after etc, is this correct?
ok quick question needing v quick answer, i am installing windows on a partitioned space of 20 000mb (20gb) it has asked if * format the partition using the NTFS file system or * format the partition using the FAT file system which one!!!!
NTFS is what you need, FAT is old and is not reccomended for use, no advantages of FAT over NTFS I don't think.
nice one ! and if i am going to be installing my x-fi soundcard, shall i even bother with installing on board sound? my plan is to get it working then put the sound card in
I would install it just to prevent windows having a hissy fit, try and just install the drivers not the control program though.
No offense but with that current set up you've got there is really nice, but you didn't even know to use FAT or NTFS?
well i just wanted to know which would be stable /best etc, i heard fat is better for games, now please dont use this post to slag me off, im asking for help
ntfs is better if you use only win xp... however fat is better if you're going to use older windows versions or linux as another OS
yes i shall disable the onboard sound within the bios, i shall not even bother with installing the onboard sound it will prob cause conflicks later on
ROTFLMGDBSDWAO!!!!! love that and come now sk8phreak88: lets cut him some slack. we were all there at one point in time... I cant imagine it anymore though
ok cheers and, now its askin me.... Nvidia firewall with anti-hacking features * disable windows firewall on the nforce ethernet but allow the windows firewall to remain active on other interfaces (they recomend this option) or both windows firewall and nvidia firewall with only nvidia anti hacking features * enable both windows firewall and the nvidia firewall but only use the nvidia anti hack feature or windows firewall disable the nvidia firewall on the nforce ethernet interface, which will then be protected by the windows fire wall which one do i want im not to sure
The nVidia Network Access Manager causes all sorts of problems and the Windows firewall is pretty naff. Pick up a copy of SPF for free and use that instead.
