How can I prevent Windows 8 from trying to format my external ext3-format hard disk? @Karan, 1) yep, 2) the program has a menu that lists the codes, 3) Yes, it will be visible in disk management as an unknown partition, rather than having a drive letter assigned for you to accidentally open in explorer and be prompted to format it. |

How can I prevent Windows 8 from trying to format my external ext3-format hard disk? @Karan, Windows has always acknowledged the existence of other OSes, which is why it ignores partitions that are marked as belonging to other OSes. The problem is when the partition is marked as belonging to Windows, then it is within its rights to offer to format it. |

Faulty PSU or Motherboard? 250W? I didn't even think they made PSUs that weak. I'd certainly try another one with a bit higher rating. |

How can I prevent Windows 8 from trying to format my external ext3-format hard disk? @Karan, just because you have the option to not plug in an external drive does not make "don't plug in such a drive" any more acceptable than it would be if it weren't external; Windows shouldn't be offering to format it, and it won't if it is partitioned correctly. |

How can I prevent Windows 8 from trying to format my external ext3-format hard disk? @Ramhound, no, I don't. I clearly explained exactly why it offers to format, and what to change to make it not do that. |

How can I prevent Windows 8 from trying to format my external ext3-format hard disk? @Karan, because you install Linux on the only hard drive then you automatically have such an fs connected. |

How can I prevent Windows 8 from trying to format my external ext3-format hard disk? @Karan, same thing only you can set the type with fdisk or parted, but it should already have the correct type. |

How can I prevent Windows 8 from trying to format my external ext3-format hard disk? Really? Two upvotes for such a useless comment? "Don't use Linux" is not an option here. |

What's the difference between an OROM driver and a “regular” driver? Firmware is not called; it actually runs inside the hardware in question. |

Best option for saving energy Off obviously, with hibernate being the same. Kind of a silly question. |

PSU cannot provide enough power Nonsense. The card isn't going to draw more than 200W tops. 3 hard drives? ~24W. That CPU and motherboard? Max ~100W. I have a similar setup with a good 550W supply and it never draws much more than 200W. It isn't the total wattage you need to watch out for, but how much current it can supply on each rail. Cheaper supplies have two 12v rails and the second one goes to the video card and is typically weaker. |

PSU cannot provide enough power You are barking up the wrong tree; PSU overload => shutdown, not reboot. |

Restore MBR on bad HHD after MBR erase You've already answered your own question: use testdisk. |
