Thanks! I also found out WD Diagnostics has something similar. I'm letting that run today since it looks like it'll take 8hrs+

Can anyone give some suggestions on some free programs to wipe my Seagate 4TB HDD before I sell it? I'm assuming Killdisk and DBAN don't have such support for large drives since I keep getting errors when trying to load those from the boot CD's.

Tried it out of the case and still not working. I think the mobo is dead. Will send a email to Gigabyte and wait their reply.

Hi All. Recently my desktop won't boot up where there was no more power going to the motherboard and no fans turn on etc. I do see the LED on the 3.5" USB hub in front of the tower light up, but it would promptly turn off when trying to power on the system. I bought a new eVGA 750W psu thinking...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. My colleague was able to getting all 3 figured out with the Chroot and Match User/Group commands in modifying the sshd_config file. We basically denied root SSH access and denied remaining users SSH access in the config file. We also used ufw to deny all ports...

Hi guys, I just created a SFTP server on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS that will be accessed both internally and externally for file transfers from following the guide found at the Linod link below. Limiting Access with SFTP Jails on Debian and Ubuntu <meta property= There are 2 other issues I now...

Thanks guys! I'll be ordering that cable Burnout linked to stack these switches

Thanks for the info guys. So regarding the SFP cables, I see that there's genuine Cisco ones and then there are many options that are 'compatible' with the SFPH10GB-CU1M. If I want less headache, I assume I should just go for the genuine Cisco cables or are these third party cables fine to use?

Hi everyone. My office is expanding so ended up buying the same series of Cisco switch so we can stack a SG500-28 (current switch) and a SG500-52 (new switch on the way from Newegg). I understand I'll need some sort of SFP cable which is where I'm getting confused. The Admin PDF from Cisco says...

Anyone have experience with the ones on sale from Rosewill on Newegg? They're noticeably cheaper than the other brands. If they still do the job, I'm willing to try them out.

Hi guys, I've been doing some research on powerline AV and I'm considering moving to powerline av from my current wi-fi repeater. The problem is I'm not seeing anything online that says you can plug in a 10/100 switch or something to a Powerline AV end and extend your network like that. Does...

It came out fine after 6hrs of Memtest. I think the OS install is hosed as well so I'll use the OneKey recovery from Lenovo to restore it back to original config.

One of the laptops at work keeps getting a BSOD whenever trying to load into windows or even safe mode. I checked the RAM out with memtest86 and it came out fine. Since the hiren's CD i was using didn't seem to have a HDD diagnostic tool, I tried ultimate boot CD but that also fails to even load...

It's a physical server. Alternatively, I can install the backup destination drive internally as well since I have a spare 3TB.

Hi guys. The SFTP server at this site is using CentOS 6 and I've been asked to find a automated backup solution for it. Ideally, the manager is requested a full system image first, followed by daily or weekly incremental backups on the data only. Are there any easy to use GUI based...

Thanks!

Is this version on a different page on their website? I only see the standard LIveCD based off Debian? :confused:

I found out we are using the built in RAID on a asus p5vd1-x with the VIA VT8237R chipset. Is the Ubuntu based version a GUI version or similar to the LiveCD version?

Hi guys. Does anyone know if it's possible to use Clonezilla on a WinXP machine installed on a Raid 1 setup and transfer it to a single drive solution? The current Raid 1 setup is 2x 80gb WD drives and I want to switch it over to a 500GB WD single drive. I'll try and get the Raid controller...

Yes it did give me a static IP. I tried several ports of 80, 81, 82, 1024, and 1025. I did some googling and people have said that this modem does not support any port forward feature. The only workaround was to turn it into bridge mode and enable Ppoe mode (i think). After that I could not get...

Hi guys. I was at a friend's office today trying to get the IP cameras working but forwarding the ports seems not to work with his current modem from ATT (a Westwell F90 or something). Would the workaround for this be purchasing a third party modem instead that supports port forwarding and stop...

November 1 and no response. I submitted the same information to HDD&[email protected] and at least got an automated response back already. Buying another Samsung SSD in the future? Nope.

I'm just saying their system could be better. I checked my spam inbox too and no email from Samsung for a confirmation after submitting the claim. Pretty disappointing for such a large company. :mad:

No such luck getting it detected in BIOS. I submitted a RMA request on Samsung's website 2 days ago but never got a reply back or even a email confirmation. Does anyone have a link to the correct page for SSD warranty claims?

Not sure what firmware was on it. I purchased it earlier this earlier (not sure which month but definitely before April). I'll see if I can get it detected first in BIOS and then run the DOS based updater.

Hey guys. Tried two different Sata ports and cables but still no luck.

Hi guys. Interesting problem came up with my parent's computer the other day. The Samsung 830 64GB drive is recognized as ROM mode or something in the BIOS. This prevents it from booting up. Is this a defective drive now because I tried booting it in my own system and same error. But when I plug...

Exactly the answer I was looking for. I'm fine with the decrease in speed as long as there is still internet coverage downstairs when I work on the car. Also would I be setting up the 2nd wireless AP the same way as I did for the 1st wireless AP?

Hi guys. I'm currently contemplating on purchasing a 2nd WRT54G router with dd-wrt as a 2nd wireless repeater in the house. Just wondering if this would be possible. Current setup is Main router (D-Link DIR-615) on 3rd floor > WRT54G as wireless repeater on 2nd floor. I don't mind the loss of...

I am not seeing a passive version of the 650 or 560ti so please stop advising those versions unless you have a direct link that fits my criteria in OP. Thanks!

Cool thanks guys. That GTX680 looks too large to fit my case anyways. Going to research on where to get the 7750 now that Amazon charges tax in Cali.

Hi guys. I'm looking to ditch my GTX260's in both systems for something preferably passively cooled. I also rarely use my computer much for gaming these days too so it can be slightly less powerful than the GTX260 (if this is even possible). One computer currently is on a i5 750 with 4GB of...

Yup this worked. Deleted the filter and my drives are back in action again. Thanks!

Under device status when I double-click the drives, it says, "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"

Just tried this out and windows still fails to install drivers for both drives after rebooting. =/

Hi guys. I recently tried popping a CD in one of my DVD burners but long story short, neither of my drives read the CD or any other media I popped in them. I've attached a image of what I saw in device manager. Any idea how to fix this? I've tried searching for drivers online with windows update...

Hey guys. I'm interested in getting a head start for a Linux course I'm going to take in the summer. But i'd like to get a head start and see if I can get some reading material so I don't fall behind in the beginning of the class etc. Any recommendations? I've heard that the class covers distros...

I'm helping out my friend who has 7 beeps total on his desktop. The motherboard is a Tyan S5197 mobo with a Intel C2D E6300 (i think) and 4x512mb ddr2 mem. When i boot it up, there are 7 bios beeps total but no video shows up (it has integrated video). The beeps are all short but spaced out like...

Either way i'm still going to wait a little bit since the ati has some things i like such as smaller size and less power requirements (or is it? i'm not sure if anyone answered that question yet)

I can certainly do that. Does the nvidia 450 come out later this month or next month? I can probably use a spare 5450 lying around my room somewhere for the time being.
