Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ta. I know I've burnt using that, but it didn't even come to mind...

Thanks for the links, Kalshane. Heh. Scary is write. I don't think I want to fiddle with the pins, unless the Maxtor people refuse to give me refund or something like that.
I don't have a floppy drive, but I downloaded the software onto a CD and set my BIOS to boot from CD/DVD drive by default; I ended up with a "set up hard drive" screen where the only drive detected by the software was my master drive. Wah.
Next time, I'm gonna stick with Western Digital, I think. Yikes.

You know, I totally missed that Seth Green was in it until someone elsewhere mentioned it.
Oooh, I missed that too. Donnie Osmond is awesome doing the Numfar dance.

Yeah, I'm fairly comfortable with tinkering with my computer, but I draw the line at making mechanical changes to the hardware. I'm sorry the software the other guy suggested didn't work for you.
I would also check with your motherboard manufacturer to make sure what size hard drives it supports, and whether you need to update your BIOS to manage drives of a certain size.

It's extremely unlikely that a motherboard with SATA support won't support a 300GB drive. I'd say if it is any trouble to check the motherboard then you'd be pretty safe to assume it can handle the size of the drive.

Yeah. The motherboard is SATA-ready and handles my 250GB master drive fine. I tried connecting the new HD to the primary SATA connector as well -- same thing happened. I got me a bum HD, I think. Or maybe it's that 11-pin thingamabob they talked about, but I can't be arsed to fiddle with it beyond what I already did. Feh.

Right, SATA. Duh.
I did some more digging around and someone else said they fixed their problem with their Maxtor 300GB by turning off Auto Detect in the BIOS on all drive channels they didn't have a drive connected to. Quick and easy and might be worth a shot.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
PHP question: I've got a multi-dimensional associative array. Is there a simple compact way (i.e. without a foreach loop) to sum all the values of a key in the second dimension across all the arrays in the first dimension?
My multi-dimensional array is made up of a group of arrays, each representing a product for sale. Within each of these array are keys like "quantity", "cost", "item_name", etc. I want to be able to (for example) sum up the total number of items being ordered. I'd hoped that syntax such as array_sum($data[]["quantity"]) would work, but it doesn't. Any suggestions?

Can some of y'all go here and tell me if you see the site? I'm trying to find out how much the dns has propagated.
