As Bozo mentions, I agree use the Intel RAID, rather than the Win7 one. As for your other questions: Yes you will the lot if you use Intel RAID. For the Intel RAID method, you'll need to completely reinstall Windows and all applications. I'm unsure if you'll need the RAID Disk Driver on a USB...

Works fine.

My BMI has always been high - even when I was running 1/2 marathons according to my BMI I was obese. However if one actually reads the history of the BMI and how it came about, it had *nothing* to do with medical health. It was a statisical calculation based on averages, which over 50% of the...

PS. My only word of advice when dealing with HP support on the business side, is make sure you have already run the system diagnostics (that are located in the BIOS) before you call, and have an error number ready. (Code 7 for HDDs will always get you a new HDD). The built in tests include HDD...

We used to cring when we saw a HP dv* class laptop on the order, knowing full well that we would see it back before the warranty expired and support would be difficult. But with a Probook, we had less than 5% returns during warranty, and I would say 95%+ were for dead HDD - and most were...

Generally impressed with them overall. I would take a HP Probook over a Dell Latitude. Maintenance manuals are available online so you can do most of the work yourself. Most of the laptops are easy to work on, just some of the entry level Probooks are a little hard to get around when replacing...

What do need to know? (My wife has one).

Dave, Happy Birthday! :b-day:

Here is a list of ALL socket 1155 based CPUs, and as time mentions only some Xeons' don't have it... http://ark.intel.com/MySearch.aspx?s=t&Sockets=1155 FYI, simply replace the 1155 after sockets with your desired socket pin count (eg 1156, 1366) to get other socket types...

Except when 30% of the drives decide to fail at the exact same moment, and you're left with a slow-a*s array due to all the rebuilds taking place.

No I didn't, I just mentioned that Sony have a viable option to his requirements, as do LG and Panasonic.

Very nice.

Not in the 21-26 size. However some 32" do, like the Sony 32CX520, Panasonic TH-L32C30A or LG 32LV3730. (AFAIK, none of the Samsungs do until you get 40"+). Any reason not to get a Blu-ray player or one of the cheaper streaming boxes with DLNA instead, and use the existing TV if present...

On most bikes, yes it's just a chip modification. Don't know about the reflashing part though.

Saw this linked elsewhere, but: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/94082-ibm-builds-120-petabyte-cluster-made-out-of-200000-hard-drives Now that's a lot of pr0n... ;)

Coug, since you're a business operator, any chance of a lease option tied to the company? (I don't know how it works in Canada, but suspect it's similar to here in Australia and elsewhere). That way if the company goes under, all lease debts are part of the company debts and not tied to the...

Any thoughts on what bike you'll get? I know that in this part of the world, with the recent changes to the laws, most manufacturers have introduced slightly downspec 600's that can be ridden by riders with a power restricted license. You get a slightly less powerful bike so you won't kill...

PS. I know I ride a small bike at the moment**, but it's very fuel efficient (2.9L/100km or 81mpg), cheap to maintain, etc and with me not working, we're sensitive to monetary expenses. Once I graduate, the plan is to update my bike to something a little more "me". ** At Uni last week I parked...

Car is a '02 Holden Frontera 4x4 w/3.2L V6 (also called Opel/Vaxhuell Frontera or Isuzu Wizard is different parts of the world - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isuzu_Wizard). Bike is a Yamaha Virago 250. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_XV250 The only reason for getting the bike serviced this...

That's the one. I'm about to get a 20K service on my bike. First quote was $450 + parts from a Yamaha dealer, second quote was $240 including all parts from a Yamaha service specialist... The reason it's so expensive is that valve clearances need to be tested and adjusted, otherwise a normal...

I would use SFTP instead of plain FTP, just for the secure transmission aspects. A bit harder to setup, but once its working, it works the same as FTP.

For SMB, about the only feaure would be "Direct Access". http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/R2-better-together.aspx#simplif

Could always use IIS that comes with Win7? (AFAIK Win7 IIS still has FTP server functionality available).

Doesn't seem that expensive at all. When I was working, we setup a 5 PC + 1 Server setup for a small retail shop. Price - AU$35,000. About $15K in hardware, and $20K in software (and most of that went to MS - especially since we needed Win2K3, SQL Server, MS Dynamics Store Operations, backup...

IIRC, RealVNC only handles desktop sharing. For file sharing you need something else.

DD, it was a Samsung unit you had... (And it just reinforced that Samsung makes very few decent products IMHO).

Looks like a bad inode. Simply take the volume offline and fsck it.

I just assumed it was linked to consumption of one of the colourings. eg for Sunset Yellow, consumption may result in various symptoms, including gastric upset, diarrhea, ...

Most likely: FD&C Yellow No.5 Tartrazine [E102] = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartrazine FD&C Yellow No.6 Sunset Yellow [E110] = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunset_Yellow_FCF E102 has links to sleeping disorders and ADD in children. E110 has links to migraines and ADD in young children. PS...

Reinstall the OS?

Maybe it's their way of pleasing the masses, when their external HDDs are severally mistreated... A drive comes in, according to SMART, the G sensor reading is off the chart, and they send back a note to the customer saying "no data recoverable". Also how many customers will actually take up the...

Was forwarded these 2x Mac vs PC video clips. Mildly amusing... (some language is present by otherwise safe for work). Mac vs Pc vs Linux vs Chrome vs Solaris - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z_E0CKDloM "Mac vs PC vs Everyone" (HD) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfjocdYHkws&feature=related...

The IEEE Computer magazine for August has the summarised history of the development, as well as an interview with some of the people who actually designed and implemented it! Very interesting reading. But alas, how different would the world be if IBM had chosen a Motorola or a Zilog CPU instead...

Another case would be the Antec Titan 650 - Takes up to EATX and SSI/CEB server boards. Newegg lists for US$180. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129027 http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=Mjc=

Does anyone know if the SB based Xeons require Reg ECC RAM, or is it optional with the E3 based models? (IIRC, "Bloomfield" based Xeons could use either RegECC or non-ECC if desired, you just had to use all the same type (no mixing RegECC sticks with non-ECC sticks. But some of the others...

Ignore this, as it appears to only work on Firewire connected drives and not USB drives... (Something in the USB stack prevents Windows from seeing USB drives as "fixed" drives, so disable the dynamic disk option. But with a quick regedit, you can tell the Windows Firewire stack to see all...

My current time wasters include: Angry Birds (when at Uni, during a boring lecture). Barrage - http://lgames.sourceforge.net/index.php?project=Barrage Warmux - http://www.wormux.org/phpboost/news/news.php and JSpider (A solitaire game that comes with Solaris). Unlike Freecell on Windows, this...

IIRC, that's because Windows treats all USB drives as not having the option to have a MBR or GPT. eg they should only contain a single filesystem, like a floppy drive! If you use a 3rd party partitioning tool, just construct a GPT on the drive, but define no actual partitions. Get Windows to...

Was using them this time last year when I was working... Many point of sale systems that use parallel based printers still need "real" parallel ports, especially those that use Epson's OPOS environment. (Thankfully most are now migrating to USB). Also had the occasional hardware security...

Why not mount your drives as paths, under a global drive? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753321.aspx

IIRC, that's coming with the 70-series of chipsets... (unless you meant that board doesn't use the NEC controller that has been popular recently).

From a quick look on their website and at the datasheets, most don't. See: http://www.hitachigst.com/internal-drives/desktop/deskstar/deskstar-7k3000 These ones don't...

No, no reason, other than botched Operating System design and drivers, which won't address more than 2^32 sectors. ATA-6/SATA both use 48bit sector addressing (aka LBA48) allowing up to 2^48 addressable sectors. With 512byte sectors that's 2^57 bytes (or 128 Petabytes) addressable. With 4K...

Conventional MBR based partitions are limited to 2TB, so in order to utilise all the array you'll need to use GPT partitioning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table Since you're using Linux, the builtin partitioning/formatting tools handle this natively as long as you have "EFI...

I've always liked this map... As time mentions, within the major cities there is little to worry about... About the worst is an angry possum, but those tend to shy away from humans. Spiders can be found around the place, but the normal precautions apply... Around where I am, we do get the...

This is my 2cents - either: 1, buy a new jetdirect adapter (or similar) : HP 300x are cheapish on eBay. And the DLink DP301P+ work ok as well as long as you stick to RAW 9100 TCP connection method (avoid the NetBEUI connection method). (These are $50 ea). With the DLink DP301P+ in RAW 9100 mode...

Umm, XP x64 does indeed support 2TB+ drives. The only requirement is, that XP x64 can't boot from one, it must be a data only drive. (Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463525 ) Or are you talking about a limitation of the drive controller you are using? IIRC, any...

Hi Everyone, I'm adding import/export playlist support to an application (gmtp), and am pondering on the which playlist format to use for the process. I don't see a point in creating my own format, when quite a few already exist, and also makes importing playlists from other applications a neat...
