Merc, just as a side note the drive that failed was the 6th drive listed in Drive Manager. It was the drive used for Windows Server Backup. It has now been swapped-out and awaiting Seagate.

This last Dec. I needed to ship a passport to someone stuck on Mexico. The border allowed the person into Mexico using the ID passport but wouldn't let her back in to the US without a full passport. So I needed the passport to be there quick. I went to UPS and they admitted that the fastest...

Oh and the failed Samsung drive is still under warranty. Thanks for the help.

By the way - the siblings number appears to be in hex and the S/N is mixed alpha-numeric. I can't match the siblings to S/N's. There are multiple HD controllers, just to complicate issues. I ended up running Seatools for Windows (so that the DC an be up while running while the diagnostic...

All the mirrored drives are the same. Both backup drives are unique (One for Windows server backup, and one a share for backing up all the client machines). So Drive manager lists the drives in IDE port order. That's useful information. I previously refused to make that assumption. I'm not...

I'm getting lots of atapi controller errors on \device\ide\IdePort3 (EventID 11) on my domain controller (WS2008). After a bunch of them the machine reboots with a volmgr error (eventID 45) "The system could not successfully load the crash dump driver" so it doesn't tell me why it...

I own one, I've had to send it back twice under warranty.

Modern society fights basic biology all the time. The whole health care system is devoted to doing just that. For those that do not believe in fighting biology, I give the gift of a 35 year lifespan.

That way they can create their own children to abuse. Sexual abusers are going to abuse regardless of marital status unless you make it not a crime and allow them to marry their preference of young pre-pubescent children. It is not a question of celibacy. To my knowledge the only way to...

I would avoid any MSI-Twin Frozer models -- Their fans do not last.

I try not to volunteer my religious beliefs for they tend to be offensive to those that have faith. I have no problem with the Pope's resignation based on age related infirmities. If his health makes him no longer capable, according to his judgement, to do what the job demands then why would...

Raid5 has by its very nature has poor write speeds but good read speeds. For sequential data transfers writes are limited to a single drive speed while reads can occur in parallel. Are you testing reads or writes? You also have to worry about seek speeds. A raid5 volume acts like a single...

My PPD dropped not because I've lost interest but rather because I've been running a pre-release core & WU's on several GPU's that do not generate any points.

No Defender is what is integrated.

I really do not like that Win8 does not support Microsoft Security Essentials. Though, When I google there is supposed to be a beta of MSE that works with Win8. I have not yet tried it. I agree that Defender sucks.

I'm finding Win 8 to be a lot less stable than Win 7 i.e. lots of crashes. I do have to admit that the non-clean upgrade from Win 7 that I used may be a significant factor.

As far as I can tell the Win8 backup is identical to Win7 backup and it is much easier to get to than your description. Go to the control panel and click on the Windows 7 file recovery icon. I don't consider Win8's File history feature to be a proper backup. P.S. Win7 backup has never been...

I know Microsoft wants no one to use the Administrator account and I really understand their reasons. That being said, It's been many years since I've had to deal with any malware on that account for I just don't do risky behaviors. I've run the same account since the very beginning through...

It will happen! Not only that they are preparing for SMP-GPU's. My guess is that they will release both QRB and SMP-GPU capability at the same time.

No If you are logged on as administrator, Windows 8 will not allow any metro application to be run at all (It refuses to open them). I.e. Microsoft must think of them as holes in the security system. I suppose that the next step will be to prevent the administrator from executing any program...

Also, if you login as administrator, you have absolutely no access to any metro apps.

If you have Windows 8 Pro then you can get a key from Microsoft, for free, that when applied will add the media-center to your Windows 8 install. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs

When I applied mine, It gave an immediate warning not to run anything as it was being installed and that it would reboot shortly. Within a minute it locked up (mouse froze but the HD light blinking madly) with the only word on the screen being rebooting. I gave it an hour then manually pressed...

Microsoft will not send the key if you are running Chrome. I had to run Internet explorer for it to work.

I just tried to add hyper-v in Win8. It seems that my q6600 does not have a required capability to run Hyper-v. Not pleased.

I think he is talking about non-workspace approved material placed in libraries that are labeled appropriately for all to see when using a projector.

Good concept, but it seems to me to be rather expensive for cut foam.

Doing a google search I noticed that that error is associated with RAM issues. Try running Memtest86+ on your machine

I just got tired of them. I submitted a bunch to spam-o-matic which claims to ban the IP's.

If it isn't part of the written warranty then it sounds like an opportunity to sue.

If you are not a moderator, you didn't see it for the automated anti-spam is blocking it. But it is a lot and all from one person. I had already PM'ed Handruin asking to have him banned.

Buy the download version Windows 8 Pro before Jan 31'st. At $40 it costs less than the upgrade to Pro that you just purchased.

Perhaps the solution given in Re: GTX 460 not being assigned WU, no appropriate WS availab is applicable.

Folding can't run in a cluster. It would have to operate as 25 single GPU's...

But I have two complete working spare P4's (3.2 GHz Dell Dimension 8400's) doing nothing and I don't have any Athlon64's (well I do, but no working motherboards for them). I was going to add Windows 8 on one P4 and GPU fold on it. That would've given me a Windows 8 machine to play with...

I'm annoyed that Windows 8 won't install on my P4 machines (No Nx bit)

I actually like wide screen format. I can edit and display two pages side by side in Word. I am also sad to see the standard format disappear. It had its uses too. I understand objecting to that and venting that frustration but that is not what this thread is about. That being said, a...

I'm sorry, but I do not see a problem. It is a very specialized display for a specific task (Cinimascope). No one is forcing anyone to buy it or even trying to force a new screen format on the world. If someone has that need then let them buy it and everyone else buy something that fits their...

In case you haven't noticed, the PPD's have dropped like a rock. They discontinued p8057's; gave new WU's (w/o bonus points) and upped the base points for 762x's; started foring core v2.25. http://folding.typepad.com/news/2012/12/unified-gpusmp-benchmarking-scheme-implemented-.html Not...

I received an old working 512MB 3.2 GHz P4 (Dell Dimension 8400) with a PCI-E slot that someone just wanted to get rid of. Now I just need to get another Nvidia card, so it can fold. It's going to be my yuk yuk slug of a Win8 machine. I think I'll name it Mr. Magoo

The lag problem is not going to go away any time soon. The primary issue is a lack of a priority system for GPU's and that is a large-scale change that will require big changes in HW, drivers, and Windows. The Windows video subsystem was never designed with the concept of multiple applications...

I do not know why it only lags at the start of a new WU but if you can ID which slot runs the primary display, then pause it and see if that helps. Not folding on the primary display generally gets rid of all lag. If that helps then we can configure the client to permanently prevent that slot...

field-induced polymer electroluminescent technology (Fipel) Any comments on these potentially replacing LED's/CFB other than it might take a while.

I think, as a very small team, we are doing quite well indeed. Yes, we could be doing better with more money invested in video cards (and electricity), but I'm not complaining. Unfortunately, as more and more teams discover the value of GPU folding, I suspect that our current competative edge...

The team is now starting a nice solid fall in the rankings: http://kakaostats.com/tr.php?t=10047

I prefer 830 even though the 840 is faster. I question the 840's potential longevity. It may be long enough for consumer use but 830 is going to be better and is fast enough. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6459/samsung-ssd-840-testing-the-endurance-of-tlc-nand

Tannin, you nailed it first time out! People do not like change, and the Windows 8 UI is forcing massive change on the public. Correction, that $40 price tag is a sale price. It goes back to normal pricing at the start of Feb.

p8057's come and they go, typically in streaks. I was quite annoyed when after the first few days of continuous p8057's, I had an 11 day dry streak while others were busy sending in reports. Now I'm getting them intermittently.
