Heatshrinking is old school, now you just get a PSU with prewrapped cables, you can just about see them on mine.

Yeah, I have mine prewrapped too, it's the black and red cable on the far right with the pink thing on it (which is actually red..  ).

Heh, all of the cables coming out of my PSU are pre-wrapped, the ones going to the drives, motherboard, sound card, video card .. all of 'em.

Re: Help needed - SATA drives in WinXP setup
Hmm, that's useful.
Which PSU is that? I have an Antec Truepower 550W I think.
I might go to Maplin in the near future and pick up some wrap, it does look a bit messy in there.

It's a 480w thermaltake butterfly, pretty cheap by all accounts, http://www.overclock.co.uk sell them

So make sure you've got them SATA drivers on floppy.

i followed the F6 driver install and everything went fine during a clean install.The only problem is my hard drive now reads E.
I have tried to rename it using admin tools in XP but it won't let me.Any ideas please anyone?
