    Optical drive failure?

    Neither work when set as Master and the other is disconnected. I just breezed through the startup, forgot to check, Guinness fog... I guess I could also try a different IDE cable as well.

    Optical drive failure?

    I have two DVD-RW drives on IDE cables in my primary system. One is Master, one is Slave. everything was working fine for a while, then nothing. I can't read or write to or from either... Any thoughts?

    Asus mobo SATA RAID 0 suggestions

    The SE supports RAID on the board, but I think I may change my plan. I am going to keep my current boot drive. I have a NAS that is a complete pain to work with. It has two WDC 500Gb drives, so I am going to install them in the tower as RAID 1 and share the contents on my local network. Now I...

    WD My Book World Edition II 1Tb NAS

    I picked up a NAS WD My Book World Edition II (WDG2NC10000N). It seemed like a good idea at the time. It comes with two 500Gb SATA drives and the ability to set them in RAID 0 or RAID 1 (I went with RAID 1). It took a while to get it configured, but still seems to be giving me trouble setting up...

    Asus mobo SATA RAID 0 suggestions

    The spec sheet claims that a RAID controller is not necessary. I downloaded the PDF manual and am reading into it in more detail. I will post more info as I find it.

    Asus mobo SATA RAID 0 suggestions

    I have an Asus P4P800Se mobo, using IDE HDs. I have a pair of 80Gb SATA drives that I am thinking about using in the system under RAID 0. I back up my OS, so a failed drive would be a recoverable situation. Does anyone have any suggestions on this route? Mostly, I would like to get a bit faster...

    Home network, wired/wireless, Mac/Windows advice

    My home network has been set up by trial and error. I've just gone with what works for so long now that I'm sure I've blown right by best practices. I think I need to get down to business and clean up my mess, but need to know where to begin. I have a former-Vista wireless laptop running XP...

    FAT32 external drive capacity issue

    In hindsight, that's a great idea, and I thought of it myself. But I would have to recreate the backup with the new parameters... I'm just a bit impatient at times, and I'll sometimes spend more time looking for an easy way than it would take to do it properly...:rolleyes:

    FAT32 external drive capacity issue

    I have a 230Gb Maxtor external drive that shows 188Gb free and 45Gb used. I am trying to copy a few 4.5Gb backup images created with Acronis TrueImage. Each time, I get an error that says there is not enough free space. I have the drive in FAT32 so I can use it on Mac and Windows systems...

    Quark & OSX - File extensions gone? WTF?

    Or you could set up a Mac server. I did it with a Craigslist G4 special. :)

    Quark & OSX - File extensions gone? WTF?

    Sounds like the Windows server is separating the resource fork (which defines file type and creator) and the data fork (the file data). Moving files to the Windows server from the Mac is not an issue, but moving them back to the Mac strips off the resource fork. This is why you are able to...

    Quark & OSX - File extensions gone? WTF?

    Designers generally are a PITA. They have enough computer knowledge to turn the box on and do what they have to, with little motivation to do much more. Are the files being created or modified on a Windows box somewhere else or are they end-to-end on her Mac alone? Are there other Macs in her...

    Quark & OSX - File extensions gone? WTF?

    Its odd that I've never tried to use Automator, but have used AS in numerous workflows. I've not had consistent luck with Folder Actions in Tiger, but that is a possibility. Try this in Script Editor, save as an app.
