Where's Mercutio when you need him... I use WD drives almost exclusively. I've had fewer problems with them , percentage wise, than any other brand. Some here have had different results. Bozo :joker:

Actually, what has any politition done for anybody but himself? Bozo :joker:

WD hard drives make great door stops. He will have to crochet (crow-shay) a cover for it. Bozo :joker:

I am using Acronis V9 and the Intel software is at least two years old. Guess I should upgrade. Bozo :joker:

Thanks for your replies and suggestions! Yes it is for fail-over. The server will be running custom software, wrote in-house. Right now we are debating whether to have SQL Server running on this server or on a separate box. All of this is in the idea/discuss/test stage. Bozo :joker:

Bottom line: There is no easy fix for the mess we have gotten ourselves in. :crap: Bozo :joker:

I will have two computers. Both running Server 2003 x64 and two installs of XP Pro running virtualized. One computer is "live" the other is running but all of the NICs disabled, except for a cross-over cable. I want to monitor the "live" computer and turn on the NICs on the standby computer if...

If you wanted to monitor a computer to make sure that is on line and functioning, what would yo monitor. You can use the 'ping' command to see if a computer is alive and responding, but what if a program crashed or locked up? Is there a 'heartbeat' in the OS that can be monitored. Thanks...

I live in a more rural area. A means of transportation is mandatory. I can't see my aunt (at 70) walking 4 miles to the grocery, or 10 miles to the doctor. (she live in susidized housing in town) I have been working since I was 12 (I'm 60 now). I have a nice house in the country. I'll be dammed...

Most of these people have the same car they retired with. They are not driving SUVs. And, with no public transportation, how do you expect them to get to work? Or the grocery store. Or the food bank? Most of their driving is within 15 miles of their homes. If they are driving SUVs or trucks...

Besides lots more RAM, turn the desktop, explorer and the start menu to Classic Mode. Disable Indexing. Disable UAC. Bozo :joker:

The pictures failed to load for me... What version of Acronis are you using? What version of the Intel monitoring software. Are you runnimg RAID 1? Maybe I need to upgrade some of my software. Bozo :joker:

With the oil companies screwing the public already, what we don't need is more taxes on gas. It just makes it mean for the working person. Already some people are having a hard enough time buying enough gas to go to work, let alone adding more taxes to it. Our local food banks are getting more...

Correct, except if you boot from the Acronis recovery CD, it does not see the RAID array. V9 anyway. Yes there is software monitoring, but no alarm messages if a drive fails. You must manually check the software to look for problems. Don't know what version I am using at the moment. Bozo :joker:

I have a box setup with two hard drives in RAID 1 on an Intel motherboard with the ICH9R chip. Two things that bother me about the setup: one there is no monitoring software that will let you know when there is a problem with a hard drive. Two: Acronis does not see the RAID setup, it only sees...

Recently I purchased a number of HP Deskjet D2430 printers at work. They have a very small foot print and seem to be holding up well in an industrial envirnment. Bozo :joker:

I have been checking my millage at each fill-up. Gasolene that contains 10% ethanal gets 3-4 MPG less than a fill-up of regular. The onboard computer confirms my calculations. My wife's car is also getting less MPG when running 10% ethanal gas. (both cars are about 1 year old and have less than...

Hmmm... I'll have to check into this further. Bozo :joker:

You don't need to root around in the registry to change the setting. Open Windows Explorer. At the top click on Tools>Folder Options>View>check 'Do Not Cache Thumbnail' Bozo :joker:

Last week I filled the gas tank in my car with gas that contained 10% ethanal. My gas millage dropped 4 MPG. Looks like another ploy by big oil to gouge the public. The gas wasn't any cheaper and you have to by more of it. Bozo :joker:

You can turn off 'cache thumbnails'...is that the same thing? Bozo :joker:

Right! Kim Novak it was. Still nice to look at. :-D Bozo :joker:

Not to make light of your situation, but Vertigo is the name of a movie too. A good one at that. Maybe you can find it to watch while you are recuperating. (Elkie Summers is not hard to look at either) Obviously it's an old movie.... Hope you are feeling better soon. Bozo :joker:

Disable Indexing Service?? Bozo :joker:

Careful what you say. I might have traded in my love beads for a medical bracelet, but I was never a tree-hugger. You can get a nasty, ichy rash from hugging trees. :grin: Bozo :joker:

We should nationalize the oil companys. Then deport the CEOs and board of directors of said oil companies to Burma or Pakastan. Or air drop them into the heart of the Amazon jungle. Bozo :joker:

I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember "New Coke", but that was the start of a lot of health problems. When that was introduced, Coke changed from sugar to corn sweeteners. When they re-introduced "Classic Coke", it was also changed from sugar to corn sweeteners. This was the...

Hmmm...Never had a hangover. Even back in my drinking days. I've driven the porcelain bus a few times, but never had the headache or wiped out feeling the next day. But, that was a lonnnggg time ago. Don't think I want to go down that road now. Bozo :joker:

Ditto: Easy to work on, has the Earthwatts power supply standard. If I remember correctly, the rear fan is a 3 speed unit. If you use an adapter to plug it into the motherboard, set the fan speed to 'high', then the motherboard will control the fan speed. Nice and quiet. (check the BIOS for fan...

Unfortunatly, here in the US the beer manufactures have been watering down the beers and making them sweeter for the last 25-30 years. If you could have tasted any of the beers from the 1950'-1960's, you would know what I mean. So now that everyone is conditioned to beer flavoured water, a true...

A $49.00 case with power supply. Makes me wonder about the quality of the power supply. From one of the reveiws: "Cons: Power Supply weighs about half that of a Fortron, Antec Ect... draw your own conclusions" Bozo :joker:

True, but the data for a multi-million dollar experiment/test was saved. Cheap insurance. Bozo :joker:
