I am still using Drive Image from floppies. Still installing floppy drives in some computers. One of the reasons is a program called Easy Restore. Insert the Easy Restore floppy, insert the CD with the Drive Image files on it, boot the computer. Three mouse clicks and the hard drive is formated...

Sounds like the drive is dying a slow painful death. Hopefully you got it backed up. Bozo :joker:

Buck "Why doesn't Disk Defragmenter show up as an option along with Disk Management in Manage? Why doesn't Disk Defragmenter have a pictorial of the progress (because Windows' defraggers don't work?)?" This was a real point of contention during the beta. Basically it came down to 'what you see...

RE: P180 case. With the power supply in the bottom of the case, are the cables long enough? Bozo :joker:

Be careful with the dimmer. In the US the electric frequency runs at 60Hz. Some of those 120v/24v transformers boost the frequency to 400Hz. Changing the input voltage with a dimmer switch usually results in the transformer dieing in a very short time. Bozo :joker:

Do you have a section in your BIOS where you can delay the start of the hard drives? I have an Antec 300W power supply booting: Intel 845EBGS ATI 9200 2-Promise Ultra 100 1-Adaptec 1210a 512MB Crucial 3-Com NIC Pextor CD burner Floppy 36GB WD Raptor 2-WD1200JB 1-ST330083 Hard to believe...

Go to a real furniture store first. Make sure what you choose is comfortable, both on the eyes and the behind. Then look online. Bozo :joker:

I'd go with the Antec. The removable cables make it worthwhile. Just plug in what you need. The 5 or 6 I have installed were very quiet. Bozo :joker:

I believe Acronis will do a migration of this sort. Clone Disk www.acronis.com So will a copy of Drive Image. Some hard drive manufactures have utilities to do this. But I would recommend a clean install. Bozo :joker:

Most likely your cars computer will need to be re-calibrated to make the speedo correct. Bozo :joker:

In my experiance, tires are not all the same size even if they have the same markings. Best to actually measure the size of the new tire. I just replaced the tires on my wife's Jeep. The Michelins I installed were over an inch larger in diameter than the Goodyears that came off. Even the spare...

Upgrading from XP to Vista is a not a good idea. It takes hours and leaves a bloated mess on your computer. Going back never worked for me during testing. It always ended up as 'format c:' I didn't have an 'upgrade disk' to see if you could do a clean install from it. Besides, I haven't found...

Merry Christmas To everybody. Bozo :joker:

I usually use this fan: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835129033 It's temperature controlled. Bozo :joker:

First there was NLite...now there is VLite. http://www.vlite.net/ Bozo :joker:

Could this be a heat related issue. CPU getting too toasty?? Bozo :joker:

How do you have the BIOS set when the power goes off? Auto restart, stay off?? Might be interesting to change the setting. You could have a bad plug, wall outlet, power strip, or UPS. If the BIOS is set to restart, the computer will look like it rebooted; which it did but because of a power...

We have a number of computers using a 3Ware RAID controller. The 3Ware monitoring software uses e-mail to notify someone if there is a problem. Unfortunately, it can only send to two (?) addresses. Our e-mail system uses Outlook. Does anyone know of a way to have Outlook recieve one e-mail and...

At work, I ask for combat pay and a large bottle of Excedrine to work on any Dell. But, for your purpose, it is probably the best choice. Bozo :joker:

After my last fiasco with Adaptec, they can keep their cards :twistd: Bozo :joker:

Vista Ultimate takes up ~13GB of hard drive space. ~10.5GB without the Page File. ( I just finished a clean install as I was reading this thread ) Bozo :joker:

If you are running windows, right click on My Computer,click Properties, click Startup and Recovery. There you can uncheck Automatic Reboot. If it is software, you might be able to see whats causing it. Bozo :joker:

In Intel BIOS settings there is a 'Event Log'. I have found this useful when looking for problems. Bozo :joker:

I am truely sorry to hear of your fathers passing. Bozo :(

Try looking in the BIOS event recorder. I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago and it was a bad stick of ECC memory. The faults showed up in the BIOS event recorder. Bozo :joker:

In some monitors you can turn the sound off/on in the monitors setup program. The one built into the monitor. Bozo :joker:

Can you boot from a Gento or DSL CD and rename the file? Bozo :joker:

I wouldn't think so. My copy gives me 30 days to activate. Bozo :joker:

All the fork lifts used inside of our plant run on Propane. It's been that way for 30+ years. Bozo :joker:

Shame the Honda doesn't run on Propane. You could fill them any place you get your gas grill bottle refilled. Bozo :joker:

Nice idea but... There is the problem of range. Great for city driving, but in the suburbs it wouldn't work well. On the days that I drive to town, run my errands and pick up items at stores that are not near us, I put over 100 miles on the car. Then there is something everybody seems to over...

Ditto :crap: Bozo :joker:

Actually, those guys look like Larry, Curly and Moe. Bunch of jerks. The system probably works a lot better if someone with IQ above a tomato was using it. And, if you watch real close, the parking system aborts when someone touches the brake or gas. Bozo :joker: ( I wonder which one of the...

Just use NLite to slip stream the SATA drivers into the OS. No adapters needed. Bozo :joker:

Actually, all the above. :-D After you install Acronis, you make a boot CD that you can restore with. This will do a bare metal install. Bozo :joker:

Have a great vacation :-D Bozo :joker:

Acronis built in scheduler is great. Once setup it can make backups automatically. You can also set up the Acronis Secure Zone for a one touch repair. Bozo :joker:
