My assumption is that if one thread has unintentionally disappeared, then there are others too. Database corruption?

When they balance the tires, they just add lead weights to the rims till there is no more wobble when spun. It would seem to me that any unbalancing caused by plastidip should be easily compensated by the normal balancing process.

Don't ever tell Seagate that you removed the drives from their external case. It will void their warranty even though it is much better for the drives to be outside their case. I've already made that mistake once. Never again. I'll lie first and put them back in the case for return.

If there is a backdoor, no one would ever advertise such and even if found the rule is denial, denial, denial. Even today, the NSA denies that it had a backdoor to early Windows products but it is hard to explain the second system key with the label NSAkey. Why would Windows even need a second...

Thanks

I thought it would be good to document the new OCZ RevoDrive 3 here by including a review.

My solution to all forms of Law enforcement issues: Don't do anything that would cause law enforcement to go after you. Then even if they do, it won't matter for there is nothing for them to see or use against you. The real problem with trying to keep law enforcement (or the Govt. in general)...

A good stereo always makes your car faster when you continuously play the Mazda theme song: Zoom Zoom Zoom!

If it is compatible with 32 bit Win7 but not 64 then install the 32 bit version. For his uses, 64 bit Windows7 is totally unnecessary. It might not work, but I would at least try it. It is so much cheaper than replacing the printer/copier.

Have you looked into the XP mode inside Windows7 to use to print from?

Also, replacing the computer will not fix the problem of not having a driver for your printer in Win7. Replace the computer and you still will not have a new driver. For a solution to that, you probably need to replace your perfectly good printer/copier. Lots of people had to do that when...

I'm making the assumption that it is no longer your main machine because of your sig. I have no problem being proactive. So what does the machine you are replacing have as its dedicated purpose? What does it need to do, that can't be done by your main machine? If it doesn't have a...

Then why are you even asking about a benchmark? Is there something that your current setup can't do that you want or need to do? Is there something that is taking so much time that it is annoying or frustrating you? That is what you need to be talking about, not a seeking a benchmark to see...

He's being proactive by tenderizing them so that the next time he is hit in the groin they deform rather than explode.

Sorry, but I've never experienced that a quality critical analysis harming my appreciation of a good book. If anything my experience is the opposite for I appreciated it even more as ideas that I didn't even consider were brought forward. Unfortunately, applying that same type of analysis to a...

I'm sorry, but your approach is screwy. There is no such thing as the perfect CPU benchmark and especially not a govt. approved one. What is perfect for you, is not the same as what if the best for another because everyone's needs are different. A person that video encodes extensively is...

I thought that forced re-activation required at least 2 tracked HW changes. If it is just the MAC (i.e. network card), then I don't think that is enough. A MB change guarantees it though but I believe that is because it changes several tracked HW items.

You break for Boob-watchers? I didn't know you you were of the persuasion.

Read this again, replacing bike with bicycle and then ask yourself what is an "amplified exhaust system" in that context. :lol::rofl::lol:

Why? you don't have an issue with your Win7 install. The general repair rule #1: Don't fix that which isn't broken.

You could always ask at the F@H forums. Maybe someone else there has had the same problem.

Active safety has its limits for there are always others on the road that you have no control over.

Instructions on doing an in-place or repair install of XP

If the data does not last, then you will have to read it again and the rewrite it to keep it from losing it. SSD's are longevity limited by the number of writes it can do before total failure. Having to refresh the data is shortening the lifespan.

All those different downloads for the chipset drivers are different versions. All you do is get the most recent one. If you can, install the whole thing using its install rather than replacing each driver individually. An in-place re-install is also called an upgrade install re-installs...

I'm sorry, but this just sucks. From my perspective, the increased speed is not worth the loss in long-term reliability. That being said, I can see how manufacturers would want this in our disposable planned obsolescence life style for they get to sell more drives and out compete in...

It was my understanding that the XP explorer and device manager couldn't see the drive but Disk manager could. Now I know that none of them can see the drive in XP while Win7 has no problems on the same dual booting machine. That tells me that either the chipset drivers are bad or the XP...

No, Windows XP is a separate OS to Win7. The association between drive letters and the partitions are stored in their respective registries. Since those registries are separate the fact that Win7 had the drive letter as H: means nothing to Windows XP. I've actually gotten a dual boot machine...

For chipset drivers, It may be on the ASUS CD but it would be better to get an updated version from the ASUS download site for your specific MB. If you can access the drive from disk management, then go there and give its formatted partition a drive letter. It then should then become visible...

It takes me several minutes to boot up my 2008 server. It just has a few roles (domain controller, backup, file server, hypervisor) It doesn't have a fast HD or even a fast processor. Perhaps I ought to go through and see what I can eliminate. Win7 on equivalent HW takes 25-30 seconds.

I thought I read somewhere a while back that the 15K Cheetah's used 2.5" platters even though it is a 3.5" form factor.

Server 2008 has a horrible boot time. Much worse than Win7. I have to admit that I haven't ever tried the core Install.

Cable select cables are ones that pin 28 was cut at the middle plug. You can't really visually see the difference because they are normally cut in the plug. Originally all PATA cables were 40 pin, but to enhance speed they created 80 pin cables with a ground wire in between each data wire but...

WD drives are jumpered differently than all other manufacturers. For every one else you have a Master jumper, a Slave Jumper, and a Cable select jumper. WD uses single drive jumper, master or slave jumper, and cable select jumper. If the WD is the only drive on the cable use the single...

I would argue that enterprise HD's are a different beast than consumer HD's. I don't think that comparing 18GB 15K RPM Cheetah's to 1.5TB 7200 RPM drives is a fair comparison for they are just too different.

Just install Windows 8 ;-), It certainly will shave 2 seconds off the boot time and save a boat-load of money. You are is the first person, I can justify recommending Win8 to...

The problem is that if there are only two choices and you exclude one then you are left with only one and Seagate is a very bad choice in the 1.5-2TB range. I am not happy with WD but my recent experience with Seagate is even worse. My sample size is small but still it is my recent experience.

Useful and undoubtedly explains the issue. With that info, perhaps a solution can be found by someone with good Google skills.

i.e. mark all forums read then compare the two links

When there are no new posts, the difference was that one produced a link to the generic search while the other produced a link to a search of all the posts that have changed in the past 24 hours. I didn't really want to have to fill out the generic search form to get a list of posts that have...

Care to read that thread from scratch?

When you attack the unit of measure, you are indirectly attacking everyone that uses it by inference. If the unit of measure is "stupid" then what does that say about all the people that are using it in preference to your method. I'll give you a hint -- they are not choosing it because they...

I have absolutely no problem with different countries or groups using MPG or GPM if it works for them. I do have a problem labeling a group stupid based on which method they are used when there is no real difference between the two methods. It is just a point of view thing and anyone that...

I really must be missing something important because to my mind MPG measures the exact same thing as GPM. Comparing two different MPG's and comparing two different GPM does the same thing in that the only difference is that they are reciprocals of each other. There isn't an exaggerated gap...

I was playing around and saw that one of the buttons was producing what I used to see. I compared the link to my old favorite: works the way I want: http://www.storageforum.net/forum/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post vs. My old favorite that used to work in the previous forum...

The risk of a bios upgrade is the likelihood of it freezing in the middle. A partially uploaded BIOS is a MB that won't ever boot again unless you have a MB with a dual BIOS (so you can switch to the emergency BIOS) or a socketted BIOS that you can replace by buying another from the...

What is there to say? You're pulling off HW and seeing if it eliminates the freezing. If it does, then it does and no comment is necessary. If it doesn't then it doesn't and also, no comment is necessary. Good luck.

All I can say is that as a child, I was pushed into a hedge with a ton of spider webs just after all the eggs had hatched. I literally had thousands of very small spiders crawling all over me. Very freaky and not something I would choose to experience again.

Na, sticky and gooey like marshmallow cream.

Xeons are too expensive for what one gets. If you need lots of cores, AMD is still a far better bargain. If one needs horse power/core, or watt/core (as long as you don't get a MB that uses FBRAM) then Intel all the way.
