I was searching and found a thread on technet with almost the exact same problem...someone fixed it by running dir /a/s on a command line with elevated (admin) privledges and magically recovered 100GB in unaccounted for free space (see...

Well thanks Thor for recommending windirstat, great program. It reports that 26gb (I "misrecalled" when I said 24 in the first post) are being used across 122365 files on the volume (well the column says "> Size"...). CHKDSK reports that 6827xxxx KB are used in 110376 files and that the disk...

Hello, I've got Windows Server 2008 R2 (I wanted to try hyper v!) and I put the main OS in its own partition on a 500GB drive. I've been using it for a while with no issues. The partition is around 70GB, and is supposedly full. Last time this occured I just deleted some old crash dumps which...

lol it really is in a towel closet

802.11n wireless router + appropriate client nic(s) all around. Not necessarily "better" but certainly neater. Check out the recommendation thread. I actually kinda like this router (engenious ESR-7750), but look around. D-link seems to have a few good offerings based on posts in the router...

during my ebay travels I've found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270502712837#ht_842wt_1165 the HP 8530w...for 765 shipped. If you get it through microsoft bing it'll be ~700 bucks. It will be nice for photoshop given the resolution - and given the quadro card it will...

You can fix the touchpad issue by upping the sensitivity, though then it could just get really awkward to use. The best 14.1's on the market are the hp 6930p and the lenovo T400 (as far as I can tell). Adidas post contains some good recs also.

I think you really should take a look at ebay. I just got an awesome deal on an 8530w HP laptop. It took me a good while to decide between that (which was new and unopened) and the 14" version, the 6930p. I've included a link to the 6930p I was looking at - it is listed as 699 with free...

Check out the Asus UL series. Newegg is having a special on the UL50 i think, so check there. The form factor may not be ideal for web browsing though. Other then that I generally suggest looking at business series laptops. If you search on bing you could snag a 14" hp 6930p or maybe even an...

Tigerdirect actually was selling one of the HP 8530p 15.4's for 729.99.........they might get more in stock soon. This was an unbelievable deal. Right now they have some listed for ~1300+ but apparently they are due to get more of the cheaper ones back eventually. You could also look into MSI...

Nokia E71x

Doesn't ATT give you a 30 day eval window to try out service? I mean if you get poor reception at a location you don't visit regularly that is one thing but if it is your house then naturally they'd expect you to discover that before the end of the eval period. Now you could unlock it and go...

another vote for NOD32 Business edition...but this link should be helpful...you'd need the business edition because the standard edition will not install on Server 2008 (the MSI or similar verifies the OS you are using) http://www.win2008workstation.com/wordpress/2008/03/08/security-software/

how is this a myth? it has been empirically proven, demonstrated and documented on numerous occasions the fact that it matters less now because of more powerful processors and less use of EAX and the like doesn't really make it a myth the real question is why build a gaming system with 8GB of...

more than that, it's an RC release browser on a beta OS - though it's understandable that he doesn't want to do a full repair
