Sorry. The Home Edition is free. I was thinking of Partition Wizard. This is also a great free program.

What! No XKE???

Forgot to mention that the business edition is Free too, for a short time.

Found a Free backup utility, Macrium Reflect The interesting thing about this backup program is you can open the backup files in Windows Explorer and extract any files and folders you need.

Also check to make sure the install CD has the latest service pack on it. If it is a original disk it won't load no matter what you do with the F6. "Do YOU want to buy and/or dig out the USB floppy drive you'd need to do that on XP or Server 2003?" I have a TEAC USB floppy just for such...

I would blame most of this problem on 'Hooked on Phonics'. If you learn to read using misspelled words, that's how you will write those words.

You could mount them 2 wide and three high.

Or do the F6 thing and install the drivers.

The 6 monitor setup was Samsung

I just read where a monitor company was selling a 'wall' of six monitors with a narrow stripe between them. Sounds like just what you need. But I can't remember where I saw it or who it was. I'll search to see if I can find it again.

I just signed up with Comcast. I'll let you know.

$969.99 Ouch!

The only time I drink soda (regular kind) is when I have an upset stomach. I drink it warm. The regular Coke of today is not the same as it was before about 1980 or so. The Coke I drank in the 60's had real sugar and more caffene. Tasted a lot better too. :D

For those using software RAID, do you have AHCI enabled in the BIOS?

Just add him to your Ignor List. :thumbright:

Virtualizing an operating system just for surfing the web is much safer than using your main OS. After you set up the virual OS, you copy the files to a safe place. If your virtual OS gets clogged up with viruses and what-not, just copy the original files back. Keeps the main ( or host ) OS clean.

It's been awhile since I fooled with an IBM server, but I seem to remember each one had an install disk. You answered a few questions (what OS, what RAID etc) and the setup disk configured the system. When it was finished it prompted you to load the OS. Could be that you need this disk to set...

Have you tried a boot time defrag? Ultradefrag will do a boot time defrag and it's free. It appears to defrag the MFT at that time.

Maybe you need one of these.

What Will said.

How about CCleaner and then a defrag?

Interesting article on RAID and SSDs. Here

We don't, but maybe ASUS does. If it works as advertised, AMD will be selling dual cores like hot cakes.

It would be cheaper to manutacture all quad cores and then shut off cores electronically.

Last week I worked on a friends laptop. Vista was installed but wouldn't boot. Once the system got past the OEM splash screen something would flash on the screen and then the system would reboot. I never did find out what the flashing screen said. I booted from a Vista DVD and selected the...

You might want to check TheTechReport and ArsTechnica as they both have system build 'packages'. At least it's a good starting place.

The push to replace these computers came during a routine backup and cleaning. Some of the capacitors on the motherboard have swollen tops. XP is the fallback OS if the software does not run on Windows 7. Thanks for the core count in XP. That makes me feel better about installing XP if I have...

Awesome!!! :thumbleft: Didn't I read some where that someone is going to run a car up Pikes Peak using remote control???

These computers have been running 24/7/365 for over 5 years. The data they are collecting has been increased by a factor of 5. On occasion, they have bogged down and lost data. The new boxes are quad core with memory at 1333MHz. The best I can tell, XP is only good for 2 cores. Besides, why...

The old computers must remain installed and running until the new ones are ready. The new computers will need to be tested by the engineers as we are moving to Windows 7, x64.

Yep, it even has the bracket on it to slide into the support in the SX835II.

About 5 years ago I built two computers to run some propietary software and hardware. The hardware is a PCI card that is 14" long. I put everything in an Antec SX630II mid tower case. It was a snug fit, but it worked fine. Now it is time to replace those computers and I am having a hard time...

That's an awful lot of money for something that might work and might last and might be replaceable...

I used a 3ware 2 port card for the boot/programs and a 16 port 3Ware for 8TB of storage on the same motherboard. I have also mixed 3Ware and Adaptec cards on the same motherboard.

I have done something similar with 3Ware controllers. 4- RAID 1's from the same card.

Maybe update your motherboards chipset drivers. (Inf files in Intel)

I believe MS has the Winternals utility to look into the 'system' process and let you know whats going on.

Doesn't the operating system and programs have to be written to take advantage of all those cores??

Neither does my E6550 :frowner:

I have MS Security Essentials installed on a few computers. It was the only one that found and removed 'Internet Security 2010' scamware. Updates appear to show up daily. At work, Symantec Corp Edition was screwing with our proprietary software. After removing Symantec and installing MS, no more...

Oh :oops:

$209.00 for a power supply??? How about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015 for $79.99?

Maybe this will help: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Grey-screen-and-vertical-line-corruptions.aspx

Most of the bad reviews I read there were from people that were trying to do something the device wasn't designed to do. (This Intel MB won't overclock -1 egg) (This $39.00 RAID controller won't do RAID 50 - 1 egg) (This 2TB hard drive is real slow to load [Quake, Doom.....] 1 egg)

Thanks! I searched last night for that link with no luck. Probably should have had more sleep. In this case, I installed Microsoft Security Essentials along with the latest updates and it found and removed the scum.

A friend has got a scam that keeps poping up on his computer. It claims that his computer is infected and for $49.99 they can remove it What is the best way to remove this scum? (besides 'format C:') Thanks

The truly brain dead will use it for a laptop on the road :-o

I drive 18 miles to work. When I get there it is like being in Bizarro Land. Coming home is like a vacation.

Doesn't Matrox make a card just for multiple outputs?

I would recommend CentOS 5.4. It is a server OS without all the unwanted baggage that Ubunto has. I believe you can set up RAID and encryption from the GUI install too. Maybe that would help. My experiance with *nix is very limited, but CentOS seems to be a lot easier to install than the rest.
