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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I've been out of the game for maybe 2 years or more and the most recent video cards i've used are the gtx260 and a 9600gt. I've sold my 9600gt recently though and was wondering what the new mid-range cards are on the market. I'm looking to spend under $130. Thanks!

I'll be hosting a meeting for my online class for a study session in my house where i'm going to have at least 10 people sharing the wireless. The load on the router won't be gaming but rather just loading websites and maybe some youtube'ing (when we're on a break or something). So will my...

Hey guys. So my boss recently bought a new Dell Vostro desktop to replace his old computer and i got everything running perfectly. Except when we need to use the program that he uses to manages his patients. Everytime he tries to select anything in the program up such as trying to open a patient...
