    video quality issue

    Thanks that's a good idea! Now if I were going to build a new system, would the change in motherboard be sufficient or will a graphics card provide a better picture?

    video quality issue

    My current setup is primarily used for watching movies and t.v. shows (some on disc, some burned to hard drive) and the video always looks a bit poor. Even the blu-ray/HD DVDs I have don't look great and I've always assumed it's due to the connection. I currently use a 1080p t.v. for a monitor...

    There goes 'cheap fix' out the window. Alright, thanks again for your help, gents.

    need more hard drive slots

    :eek: Holy crap, eight? That's insane, but perfect. Thanks. Another question - I won't be adding eight more drives, but if I eventually did, can internal drives be mounted externally somehow and connected internally or does that kind of defeat the purpose?

    need more hard drive slots

    All six of my hard drive data slots are occupied and I want to add more. There's space for additional drives in the bay, but I'm unsure how to connect them to the mother board somehow. Would you guys suggest a PCI card with additional slots or building an external enclosure or an entire new...

    file server build - need some advice

    Alright nevermind. It's working now. Next up is how to access the new xubuntu system from my windows laptop. I'm currently on basically a university network with my laptop and server wired to a switch which is connected to an ethernet plug in the wall. The new server isn't showing up on...

    file server build - need some advice

    fat32 I know there's limits to the sizes it can transfer, but I can't even move small files (1-2MB). Any ideas?

    file server build - need some advice

    I select data in an external hard drive, right click on it and select copy/cut or press ctrl-c/x, select the newly partitioned internal hard drive on my xubuntu desktop, right click and select paste or press ctrl-v, and nothing happens. I've found a program called rsync I'm looking into; I'll...

    file server build - need some advice

    Well everything is partitioned now and I can see all the new drives in all their capacities. Now I'm having trouble moving data to the new drives. I can't move data from the operating environment (my desktop with xubuntu on it) or from external hard drives. Any ideas?

    That's exactly what I was getting at.

    file server build - need some advice

    I agree, however I have read about most of those things and a few articles have been posted in this thread and I've read all of them. What I don't know is how to execute what I want and there's a lot of different information, most of it dated, that I'm trying to sieve through. I'll get some...

    file server build - need some advice

    I mean I can't figure out how to send data to them for storage. They don't show up in system or as recognized drives on the desktop anywhere. Understand I haven't done this before with Linux - installed new drives with an OS already going on a separate drive. What I want to do for now is...

    file server build - need some advice

    I found the problem - a bad install of Xubuntu. I figure my next step is hard drive partitioning as BIOS recognizes all my drives and their correct sizes but I can't find them in the OS. I entered sudo fdisk -l and got the 'Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table' message...

    file server build - need some advice

    Everything's installed and I've got a problem. Ubuntu was running fine and then I installed a controller card in addition to all the blank 2TB hard drives. BIOS Boot order recognizes the card and the cd drive I attached to it but not the 500GB drive I installed Ubuntu on. However, when I...

    file server build - need some advice

    Alright, update time. I've gotten the machine together and installed XUbuntu. It starts up fine and everything's fine so far. I haven't connected any of the 2TB drives yet because I realized I don't have the power or the data slots available. Getting the additional SATA power and data...
