Scratch that, turns out you're supposed to specify GRUB2 for it to work (GRUB was default in EasyBCD) because ubuntu has been usnig GRUB2 since 9.10.

As expected, windows booted by default. Then I installed EasyBCD but now if I try to boot into linux it hangs on a screen with a blinking cursor. What can that possibly mean? I certainly did not overwrite it with windows, and EasyBCD recognizes it as "Linux". Current partitions...

I need to install Win7 on my laptop with the following partitions: |-------linux-------|---swap---|----------empty-----------| 242 GB, 6 GB, 348 GB respectively If I install windows 7 in the empty partition will I need to fiddle with GRUB? If so, is there a better way to install windows...

So you're saying the best thing we can do, besides offsite/mirrored backup, is what we are already doing?

We currently do, with a portable hard drive that gets tossed around and frequently transported. Maybe the RAID thing was a little too overprotective, I might just use a single drive. Aren't internal drives essentially "offline most of the time" if they are not the primary OS drive? And even if...

I am considering making a LAN file/print server from one of my computers. It has the following specs: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L (NO hardware raid built-in) Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 160gb hdd (OS+data) It will be used by four family members using different computers and operating systems (vista...

yea just so you guys know, the "CPU temp" (overlay) or the "Processor temperature" (window) of PC Wizard shows 51C on idle and 57C after 30 minutes of prime95. on average, PCWizard tells me that the CPU voltage is 1.04V. sometimes 1.03. i've even seen it at .997 yet after about two hours of...

thank you very much! stress testing in progress EDIT: just out of curiosity, should i worry about high mainboard temps? my GA-P35-DS3R is passing 60C as i type

i've read that quad temps for the G0 stepping should not go above 71C, but mine go 4C above that every time i play bf2. i've gradually lowered my cpu voltage to about 1.03V (verified by PCWizard) but i still cannot safely stress test without tipping over 71C after only six minutes of the...

is it safe to just use rubber gloves when building a computer?
