AHCI - RAID vs IDE HDD - Boot failure issue

Installing AHCI driver in Windows after the installation of Windows XP results in boot failure. You can get PXE error or "No boot device could be detected" messages or continuous Restart may happens while you boot your system in Windows XP.

The solution for this issue is change the SATA mode in the BIOS from AHCI to IDE. You can access the BIOS settings by hitting F2 while BIOS is loading. Change the HDD SATA mode from AHCI(usually called RAID by Intel) to IDE. Change first boot disk priority to HDD, then DVD/CD, then Network, etc.

Before exiting from BIOS press F10 to save this changes and reboot the system. The OS will loaded.

Legacy PACE Drivers (iLok) crashes and BSOD Windows 10, couldn't install Avid Media Composer v8.x (RESOLVED)

Hey all, I want to share with you my nightmare experience attempting to install Avid MC 8.5.3 on my new Windows 10 machine, and share the solution I found I couldn't install Avid MC v8.x on my Windows 10 workstation due to MC forcing me to install an outdated and unsupported PACE Driverst. Every time I would run the Avid MC installer, when it asked for a reboot after the install completed, my computer would not boot back up.

It asked me for a reboot and then the same crash sequence happened. This told me that Legacy PACE Drivers was the cause of the crashing. The problem was that Avid MC v8.x installation was attempting to force the insta...

NetGear DGN1000 - MTU, Partial Loss of Internet Connection, and Performance

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is the largest packet a network device transmits. The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often just the default value. MTU is sometimes presented as something that can be easily changed to improve performance, but in practice this may cause problems.

These may require an MTU change: A secure Web site that won't open, or only displays part of a Web page Yahoo email MSN AOL's DSL service You use VPN, and have severe performance problems. You used a program to "optimize" MTU for performance reasons, and now you have connectivity or performance problems. An easy solution to most problems is to change MTU to 1400. If you are willing to experiment, gradually reduce MTU as described in "Details of MTU", below. How to Change a C...
