i know a friend who has a 938-pin processor...still works. i don't know if there are any problems with it, but he still overclocks it and uses it as a daily computer.

more than likely a missing pin will cause boot errors or on/off performance problems depending on what you are doing.

ben pins...will stop you from installing the processor. if you straighten it out without breaking it or remoinvg it it should work like normal. i bent my CPU pins and it works fine after i straightened them out.

A missing pin doesn't always stop the CPU from working. Depending on what function has been assigned to it. (Check your CPU pin-out at the manufacturers web-site).

Bent pins can easily be straightened, (I use a small toothpic). However if the pins are bent and not making contact with the CPU housing, this can stop the system starting up.

For your hard-disks, goto the BIOS and set the detection method to AUTO, for all four drives. If it is set to USER, it is only looking for a disk with those set parameters.
Set the jumpers on the Hard-Drive CABLE-SELECT, this way the system does the configuring for you.

Note that with CS, or with the MASTER/SLAVE jumpers on the disks/cd/dvd must be connected to the cable in order. MASTER at the END, SLAVE in the MIDDLEl of the connecting cable...

Also note that a FORMAT only re-creates the file structure, it doesn't remove the DATA from the disk... Happy formatting.
