Maxtor card worked well in my bro's PC, thanks Merc. The transfer went SLOW as in 3-4 hours. I transfered using maxtor's software with the old drive hooked up to the onboard controller and the new drive hooked up to the add-in card. Windows seems to be fine. I suspect if I'd have used ghost...

Also wanted to say that with many colors, especially this one, the other colors around it matter quite a bit. I declared it purple comparing it to the clearly blue car in your avatar. But the FI theme I use is also heavily blue oriented. You might try to put it on a completely white page or a...

Are power strips with an on/off switch pulling any current when off?

I think it is purple. maybe bluish purple Other people including w3c schools seem to think it is indigo.

This proves they don't have an adequate test bed for their updates.

Anybody in Cleveland, Ohio? I'll be there Thursday night.

Congrats

The morbid fascination has me concerned. Perhaps a visit to a friendly shrink would help?

This makes me think somehow the sql server isn't configured to accept remote connections. Have you tried it over a lan? What did you mean by locally, on the same machine or on a different machine on your lan?

Yeah my sister's machine is thoroughly hosed and probably has one of these. I'm just going to reinstall windows.

Checked port 1433 is open? Tried by IP instead of name?

Bah! They charged my wife $20 for two packs. And the ad says buy 1 get one free, I checked. I'll be calling their customer service number.

Not that you want to do this, but can you use floppies to transfer the data? Or do mac floppies not use FAT? Their is probably a windows program to read mac formatted floppies though.

Sweet!

That is what I'm seeing buck so I guess I won't be too concerned.

Parallel port to port?

About the 19/20" I took my dad to best buy and showed him all about native resolutions and how every other resolution on it looks crap. And he runs his current computer monitor at 800x600. So I tried to get him to buy one with at least a native res of 1600x1200 so 800x600 wouldn't look like...

He has DVI, if not I'll buy him a card with DVI.

Forgot to indicate that temps are being recorded by speedfan.

What is a high temp for an AMD 1800+ processor? My dad's computer is running close to 60C. This has me concerned. When I opened the case it was dust bunny city. I'm thinking I need to add a couple new case fans and either reapply or replace the processor's heatsink and fan.

Can you guys recommend a 17" Flat Panel Monitor? My pops wants to replace his monitor with a 17" flat panel. He doesn't have the cash for a 20" dell like I have. And the best buy seemed expensive. So yes money is a factor but let me know what you think. I told him to get the Samsung 17"...

You can setup windows through policy or somehow to exclude certain drive letters from view. And browsing from explorer will not let you access those drives. But I can work around it to get access to those drives. So it isn't 100% foolproof but will stop novice users. It is setup this way...

THere is a thread around here where I detailed my issues with the onboard nic in my nforce4 based motherboard. I would download stuff and it would randomly switch sections of the download. I have to use the second nic, a marvel one. Glad to see some recognition of the problem.

So for everybody's edification, my dad's computer a Gigabyte GA-7DX revision 4.3, with southbridge VT82C686B did not see the whole drive only 137GB. I didn't see what BIOS revision it had but I didn't want to mess with that. So I had to use the syba card with the silicon image 0680 to support...

Yes, I've only seen it like 100 times.

I use picasa, even wrote a litte loader that makes it only run on one core to solve an indexing problem it had. It does create a picasa.ini file or something like that in each folder where it indexes pictures from. I use it to browse through my pictures and easily e-mail them. That means it is...

I suppose I should link to the intel site doc that I was referring to earlier. Also here is the document on installing a large drive. And here is a test program to determine if your bios supports 48bit LBA.

Well I know the BIOS doesn't see it correctly. And it is the latest bios.

I'll continue this discussion on PM.

Well I found the one I had laying around. But it looks like I need another one for my dad's computer, unless you guys can verify the VIA 686B southbridge supports 48Bit LBA. I can't seem to find a definitive source that says one way or the other. So merc, what kind have you got and how much to...

He's the guy who started the CSS Zen Garden, which has been replicated in various forms but he's famous for being first. He's a first class CSS guy I suppose, even wrote a book which was mostly based on the CSS Zen garden experience. I'm not a big fan of his site's design but I do read his...

Actually it is hosted on dreamhost. And even their lowest plan starts at 1TB or transfer (monthly average) and grows by 8GB every month.

I think I have one around... not sure if I threw it out or not... It is just that his PCI slots are full, I'll just toss the modem card out as he doesn't need that anymore. Lesson learned I guess, never trust the intel docs. I thought maybe ghost had screwed up the partition table or the FAT and...

So if the bios doesn't handle 48 Bit LBA, it won't work. Despite what intel says about the 810 chipset? Seems weird though as it shouldn't have been accessing past 137GB to do anything. So why the lockups?

I never use full fledged turbotax. I use the online version.

So my brothers dell dimension L800CXE (Intel 810 chipset, 82801AA ICH controller) was getting low on space. Considering it had a 20GB drive in it, I wouldn't doubt it. It originally had Win ME on it but sometime ago he installed XP Pro. He had SP2. I added the EnableBigLba key in the...

Yes of course I will replace the HD. Hopefully there is a nice sale this upcoming week. Funny thing is no driver's were installed. This machine typically runs 24x7 as it is their answering machine. All the caps looked fine on the board though there was so much dust I wonder if that is causing...

Warning: sort of mindless ramble follows mostly to document what the heck I'm going to do for my own benefit. No real tech support issue as I can handle it but advice is welcome. So my dad's computer has been shut off the not so nice way too many times or something. It has windows 98, mostly...

But the day they crack down on Vivid Video downloads, Merc is a dead man.

Well its over... I guess I should have realized it was in woot off mode days earlier. Then maybe I could have got in on some of it.

Well, if I have to deliver a bag full of Full Height Micropolis hard drives, I would care. I mean getting them through customs alone will be interesting.

Do we know where he lives in Italy?

Anybody live in italy? I've be visiting Rimini, Italy end of may and early june.

Others have answered what it is. I posted in here because I thought it the most relevant forum for information about sales and such. I thought you all would know what woot is because I believe Merc linked it a while ago. As to the flashing lights: http://www.woot.com/WhatIsWoot.aspx#q9

I just realized what the flashing yellow lights mean. I missed some ok crap. Maybe there is some ok crap coming up. But I think it is getting close to 3 days now.

Why would microsoft ask it's OEM partners to enforce? Wouldn't their activation center be tasked with enforcement? I can find plenty of people quoting the same information even back in january. But I can't find a microsoft blurb about it. They can't change the license though for existing OEM...

Boondocks is awesome, I can testify to that. I only caught two episodes but both were hilarious. When the kid shot the rich kid's son out the window, classic.

Ah my tivo season pass list is filled with cancelled shows. There is something seriously wrong with TV distribution or most of the country must like the stuff that passes for TV sometimes.
