Just wondering if the 5730 can use a 4GB flash, i have just installed a 4GB Apacer flash drive but cannot install WES, it sees the drive as disk 0 but i get the error message: "This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk, ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in computer's Bios menu" Tried using diskpart but it comes up with ""DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for more information" Could it be a faulty flash card?
Thanks for the answers guys!! for those of you that stumble across this and wonder it turns out the flash was faulty, in the end i bought a 16gb Kingspan which seems to be ok
Funny I should come across this thread I just installed a 40GB 2 1/2" hard drive with 30cm 44 pin IDE cable into a HP T5530 uping the ram to 1GB and installed Windows XP.Not the fastest machine on the block but it makes a good basic and cheap PC for young children to play on.
yes that is the riser since then I replaced the compact flash setup with a 60gb SSD using a small stata to ide 44-pin adapter and increased ram to 2gb works awesome, installed Windows 8 full on it with office 2013 - its quite usable - the cpu becomes the bottle neck in this config but like I said for office applications / web browsing it does the job surprisingly well I also have acquired a t510 that has a via eden x2 cpu and sata port - will put a Samsung ssd in it and that should be another great low power fanless setup !
