    Headphones from MB or from speakers difference?

    The volume knob on the speaker does control the headphone volume too. i have this jacks from the MB: Rear Speaker / Central / Bass / Line in / Front Speaker / Microphone my speakers go to the Line In jack. it's actually weird that it's called Line In and not Line Out... so it seems i don't...

    Headphones from MB or from speakers difference?

    Hi guys, I have the AsRock Z87 Extreme9/ac motherboard which has the Realtek ALC1150 Audio Codec on board. currently it's connected to my M-Audio AV40 speakers which has a headphone jack of their own which is easier to use since it's right there on the desktop. I'm wondering if there's...

    help with ddrescue and ddrutility

    ok, so here's an update! i ran ddrescue, all 4 drives are now backed up, 0 errors. that's a good sign. i connected all the drives to the machine, not through the controller of course, and i ran RecliaMe Free RAID Recovery tool on them. this is what i got: [/URL][/IMG] the full text...

    help with ddrescue and ddrutility

    i'm using IBM m1050 RAID Controller, i disconnected everything and i want to do all of the mentioned actions on another system. it's not the PSU (swithed it to a new one during that period). i also think that the drives are probably ok which kind of reassures me that i could still get the data...

    help with ddrescue and ddrutility

    i had drives breaking from the array repeatedly until i got 3 out of 4 drives who broke from the array and it started to trey and rebuild them. i don't know for sure that there are any bad sectors but i very well might have. it could also be a problem with my RAID Controller. in any case, i...

    help with ddrescue and ddrutility

    thank you very much for all the useful information. my problem is a messed up RAID 10 array of 4 drives. i want to backup all the drives before trying to fix the array, hence the need for ddrescue. what does "force --no-split" command means exactly? and why not try the r- 3 command from...

    Hi there, i'm trying to rescue data from a few drives. after consulting i was referred to ddrescue for cloning and than for ddrutility for finding out which files are messed up. i have no Linux experience at all, i'm on Windows. i am trying to learn but there is so much information that i...

    Major problem with IBM M1015- Configuration Not Importable

    i am replacing it of course. i am currently using a second machine to do all that. that's why it's going to take some time... at least i hope i'll have time to dive into this Linux thing... can i use gparted to identify the drives? Eli

    Major problem with IBM M1015- Configuration Not Importable

    first of all, thank you for the comments. i do intend to swim back to shore :) i wasn't claiming being an expert but i am learning and trying. about the situation at hand- i understand that it is likely to assume that the drives are dead, but, they very well might not be. it may look...

    Major problem with IBM M1015- Configuration Not Importable

    i have zero experience with Linux. is this ddrescue thing bootable, and therefor it will work regardless of the OS or do i need to have Linux installed somehow for it to work? wow this will be a pretty hefty expense buying 4 4tb drives... is it really the only option?? and i thought the...

    Major problem with IBM M1015- Configuration Not Importable

    i want to do it as safe as i can get, i just want to make sure i'm doing it right. i have the X4 4tb drives that were in the RAID 10 array. meaning i have 8tb of data (actually it's less because they're not completely full but still, let's say it's 8tb). i should just plug them out of the...

    Major problem with IBM M1015- Configuration Not Importable

    well, i can't import the array so i don't know how should i backup the drives since i can't get into Windows with the array set up. what do you mean not using sibling drives in an array? it's a RAID 10 so its is suppose to look like a big 8tb drive anyways and since there aren't any 8tb drives...

    Major problem with IBM M1015- Configuration Not Importable

    How many drives do i need to do that? Backup means 2 drives and to recreate it i'm suppose to use the original drives? I have 2 2tb drives and another 3 1gb external drives abd i'm trying to figure out if that's enough... Eli
