PERFECT. Entered Local Group Policy Editor, and fixed it. It was really annoying, since when I started the file transfer, they would not start until I got rid of the stupid warning. It was really annoying, since when I do the file transfers the main screen is being used by the Server, and the...

OK: How do you turn the stupid warning off?????

So I would use the last remaining SATA port?;-(

DD: Where on your motherboard do you hook that connector up to? Which port? I don't have many that aren't filled... Thanks Greg

Odd. Now it triggers a warning message that these files may threaten the computer. Looks like it's a standard warning that has to be turned pretty much off by lowering the local security standard in of all places, Internet Explorer 8? Well, now it's good for two things: first doing windows...

That's what I've been looking for. Going to give it a try in the Panasonic CF-51. I just checked, and I can get my install probably down around 20 MB, with programs. I suspect that will be enough of a jump to let me wait until they really get the bugs sorted out on the i7 laptops, or, even...

Must be this keyboard, but, entering it into the search in the search didn't work.

That's one of the reasons I want another keyboard: It doesn't have a Windows key. It's the Logitech with the Bluetooth,for about 80 bucks. Not to mention the shift key is starting to stick... I hate to say it, but the el cheapo MSFT keyboards for OEM builds I get from Buck are just fine for...

I entered the following: \\192.168.1.110\\Downloads the window popped up, and, the file transfer was at 90 MB/sec, then went down a bit, but, THANK YOU. IT WORKED..!!! Plus, you solved in another way one of the things that really frustrates me about 7: finding Run. I pinned it to the taskbar...

I have a shared folder from the Server on The Beast's desktop. I have a holding folder on The Beast. I transfer files from one folder to the other on the Beast's desktop. I've been checking the IP addresses, and, everything seems correct. I've even tried merging the two networks that show up...

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate on both machines. It takes about 4 clicks to disable the NIC that is slowing the file transfers down. Transfer the files, then reenable the NIC. For the number of file transfers I do, it's worth it. Takes maybe 20 seconds to disable, less to enable the NIC. The...

This is the response I got from Nvidia: Note the bottom line about specific and driver: "Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer care. This is Sunil, assisting you with the query you have. I understand from your email that you would like to know if the Vizio XVT 120HZ 37" monitor will be...

David: I looked into this, and, it seems Nvidia may have to actually write a driver for the display. Also, the TV's have the 120/240 thing, where the screen is running at 60MHZ, but, they say it's 120, because of some backlight refresh rate. The Toshiba Raza(sp?) offered by...

Whenever the NIC with the cat 5 is enabled, the connection speed reverts to 10 mb/sec???

Shut the Beast off, and restarted, and was transfering files. Back to 10 MB/SEC? Disable the internet connected Realtek RT18168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC, and we are back to high speed file transfer on the other NIC. ?????

Awesome tip. I have about 40-50 gigs of files to transfer. It was crawling at 10mb/sec. Disabled both nic ports on the beast, and, checked their IP addresses to make sure they are properly configure: IE internal has no Gateway, only IP and DNS. The file transfer that was going to take an hour...

The router is an old Linksys, one of the few that has decent reliability, and, is also wireless for three other computers connected to the network. It is also doubling as the switch. I guess I could add a gig switch, prior to the router, and hopefully keep both the internet and wireless...

I have two G ports on the Beast. The server has none, and, therefore has the NIC G card, Intel Pro, in it. The Beast uses one port to connect to the router, net and other computers. I can connect using the router, to the server, and have in the past, but, at 10MB/sec or slower. I added the...

Taking the advice of a few folks here, I bought an Intel Pro gigabyte card, connected that to the Beast, Gigabyte only ports, with a Crossover Cat 6 cable, and was getting 10 mb/sec throughput on data transfers???? First I tried a straight cat5 cable. Same result. Connected the Cat6 crossover...

Currently taking similar advice. FarCry2 is installed, at all the highest setting, and, so far, it's pretty neat.

Pretty sure DD can budget for that. By the way, Stinker I started a thread: http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8107 For the same reason. It is better to have both access time AND SDTR, so it doesn't make sense to get another laptop until they catch up with the speeds of the...

Gave up on the game and Dos.

HMMMM. Same disk, same computer using VirtualBox, the 2000 install worked, and is in progress??? Why can't I get the MsDos that is the first os in Sun Virtual box to work? Where can I find a MS Dos image?

Sorry to hear that. I had a similar experience with Apple, and never bought another. No excuse.

Sam, that's part of what is so weird. I have a copy of 2000, and, I have both the sticker, and the code from the original install, from my Server, what, 11 years ago? When I try and validate, they say the code is invalid. I've tried it with a different ISO, same result. Anyone have a working...

What drives do you use? Also, what removeable drive setup did you have that didn't require a caddy?

Hi D What was that toaster, and what drives are you using? gs

Chewy: Thanks but, I'm just learning this stuff, and, the great thing about it is I can try 4 OS on Vmware, and, find out what works, and doesn't. I just downloaded Virtualbox, and, I'll do the same with it... Thanks for the link

Finding out fun stuff. MSFT has a virtual machine on 7 to run XP. However, no GL support kills most of the reasons I would want to run XP on this box. VMWare does support GL in their drivers, but, not as well as might be possible, considering the sheer horsepower of this Beast. I'm finding my...

I ran 3 monitors, 21 and two 19 inch CRT's, using the Matrox 750. It did it, but, was so under powered the screen resolution was disappointing, in games only. Awesome for work clarity. Can the current screens display in billions of colors?

Wonder what 3 big TV's would look like??? 37-60", and, can that card drive them?

(if RAID 6 engine supported) I've been trying to figure out what this means, but, no joy...

Looks like 7 doesn't support that controller: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?type=Hardware&s=Areca%20ARC-1280ML

Perhaps 7 doesn't support Raid 6???

Sometimes the controller only wants to do one raid array per reboot. Try redoing the Raid array again, then reboot. Card isn't real clear on supporting Raid 6: "RAID level 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6 (if RAID 6 engine supported) and JBOD"

Nlite was a no go. One of the ISO's was fine until I typed in my code, then it got mad... MSFT's VM looked pretty good, but, the games I wanted to run need GL support, and MSFT says that's a no no... Called MSFT, and, it was rather intresting that the person I talked to never mentioned running...

You may be right. it does make a LOT more noise then my server now...

THANKS! I would love to have 2000 Pro working in VMWare just for giggles. Shutting down now and seeing how well I did with my Nlite iso.

The disks are old, seem to be failing as well. Component errors on installs, files missing, it's like the disks are breaking down, and the information is degrading. I've been trying a bunch of different DVD/CD readers, and on different machines. Will MSFT supply new disks for old OS?

Here is the cooler they are using. http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2321 http://www.avc.com.cn/ediy/products/HERCULES.htm http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm So, if you really try and oc, the thing is noisy, 2200 rpm 120MM fan, at 61 dec. Otherwise, it's not...

I was looking at laptops and came across this system: Pretty amazing setup for the money. Heck, water cooling alone is about 500 dollars...

I paid 309 from Tigerdirect, for 2 30 gig drives, tax 9% and including shipping. The Vertex rebates are a pain, and are approaching scam level, so don't include them in the price. I have 4 of them, and I'm happy with their data transfer level, and, access time.

Next on my list. Just want to step away from it, and leave it alone for awhile...

Processor for The Beast

More fun: Went here, http://www.giga-byte.com/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=2958&ost=windows%3csup%3e%c2%ae%3c%2fsup%3e+xp+64bit#anchor_os and downloaded and F6 the drivers for the SATA Raid installation. Just realized I might have to install the Chipset package as well...

Sam: That worked to get past the BSOD, which happens right as I'm starting windows. Problem is, the drives are SATA, and it doesn't show any drives to load. I don't have an install disk, so, it sounds like I'm going to be doing the F6 thing, downloading the drivers for this motherboard from...

I can't get XP Pro, or 2003 to install on my new box. I'm currently running 5 different mem tests, and, that's actually running 65-80 percent of the processors, with nearly 90% of the ram.

You know it would kill them to admit it.....:-)

They haven't really written much since 2000, have they;-) David: You REALLY need to get into water cooling...
