Can I get some help in moving a 4TB drive over from a USB 3.0 connection to a esata connection? I bought a 4TB external drive partitioned it as one big partition using the USB 3.0 connection. Under Disk Management and Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition it shows up as 126MB Unallocated |...

Hi, just wanted to see if anyone has found a source for the largest 2.5" PATA 5400RPM notebook HDD for sale somewhere. I think the largest I found was I think 2 different brands of 250GB at newegg. I'm hoping someone knows if there is a 320GB somewhere for sale. Rix

Since the search function is broken. Does anyone have a link to a program that I can run that will turn off the lcd backlight? I remember a forum member here wrote one up pretty quickly, and I am looking for something that can do that. I'm also looking into making it ignore any keystrokes...

In a rush to leave the country (not for criminal reasons) and bring all my data with me, I made a couple of mistakes, but now I wish to see if there is a remedy for it. I had a 750GB SATA seagate drive connected to my computer in the U.S. newly partitioned and formatted. However, my mistake...

Anyone have version 1.8 firmware and is willing to upload it or send it to me? I've been trying for the past week and a half to get it but dlink's stupid ftp server is always down. I even sent a support email to them and they answered back after about 3 days and on top of it lied about fixing...

Anyone know of a good text to speech program for Traditional Chinese? I'm hoping for something that I can just highlight the words and maybe the program will just start reading the words out to me. As an added bonus, if it can also do translations to english that would would be a huge...

I would like to know if anyone knows how to import/sync to a folder with playlists in them using iTunes or another helper application. Second can Itunes sync to a folder with shortcuts to other music inside of them? I'm one of those holdouts that still don't really like using iTunes for...

I just want to see what [H] members have or are willing to offer. I prefer the older style large ps2 over the newer slim ones. I don't care if you include controllers with it or not. I will also buy ones that have the disc read error problem, BUT I will give preference to ones that have the...

I just want to check in with people who are running their conroes at 1.45Vish and above and see if that is a 24/7 clock speed that people are running at. If you are running it 24/7, how long has it been holding up? Reason why I ask is because I've had various cpu's die in less than a year...

Am I going to see any temperature decreases if I put on the Arctic Cooling Silencer 5 rev. 3 onto my 7800GTO. For those that don't know the 7800GTO is a 7800GTX with the memory speeds drastically reduced. I tried scouring the net for reviews, but they all just list reviews of putting the...

I just wanted to know if anyone knows what effects are possible with lcd aging. I know with crt's they usually become dimmer, go out with a bang because a cap blew up, or get more blurry because the deflection circuit is no longer tuned to the best spot.

I have an interesting dilemna. I have a HTPC and satellite receiver, but only one digital coax input for my receiver. I would like to just hook both devices into the receiver. I have RG59/U solid copper core, with 95% copper braid that is rated at 75 ohms. I also have a T line connector...

Does everyone's DS3 chirp pretty audibly under load? I had thought that since they used solid capacitors and the encased coils/inductors that the chirping sound should have been non existent. As it stands now, this sound is louder than the higher end Asus motherboards that I've used...

Well, I finally decided to get a Core 2 after years of using my trusty Northwood. Here's the stuff E6300, week 23 from fry's Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 from fry's Patriot PC2 800 4-4-4-12 from fry's Watercooling stuff from S478 days. Dangerden TDX S478 I'm getting idle temperatures of...

I'm still wondering if I should wait for a 27" LCD to appear on the market. For awhile, there was a bit of talk about it, but all news seems to have died. Dell was supposed to come out with a 27" LCD that had the same resolution as the 2407fpw. I'm just wondering if I should bite the...

I'm running a gentoo system right now and I have a basic setup that I would like to keep intact for backups. I would like to basically just run a command to wipe out an experimental partition and restore it from the one that I will keep intact. What would be the linux equivalent of....I guess...

I'm considering giving this away or selling it and buying a lesser computer to give to a family member. I just want an estimate of how much it might go for if I do end up selling it and buying a lesser laptop and pocketing the extra change. Dell Inspiron 8600 15.4" WSXGA (1680x1050 best...

There is a lan party on April 1st at the Game Cyberium. Details can be found at http://www.the-ghl.com/ Please register if you are coming. Event starts at around 10am and will last way till midnight. Previous events we've had are at these previous threads...

What distro should I look into if I want to setup SAMBA to share files over a windows network connected together via workgroup? What I would like is something I can install very easily onto an older PC and be able to mount some shares available to the office. If it has a WebGUI or GUI admin...

Now that I am reasonably convinced that pfsense with traffic shaping is my routing solution, I am interested in downgrading the processor speed, heat output, and noise levels. I am currently running on a P3 celeron that runs at 1.2ghz. I get about 90% cpu utilization during heavy usage...

Is traffic shaping another term for QOS or do they have certain nuances? I was looking for a router or *nix router solution for a long time because I was interested in having some sort of priority system in place since I run a server 24/7 and wish to browse the net at the same time...

I just recently migrated all my hardware to a lian-li v2100B case and there is a slow buzzing sound that gets louder and softer about every 8-15 seconds, very annoying. I localized it to the hard drives because when I unplugged the power cable going to the hard drives, the buzzing noise...

I think I've finally messed around with the WRT54G and just can't squeeze anymore out of it without it being stable. I'm looking for a faster/better router that can do QOS and be a VPN endpoint. Another function that I would like to have is loopback, but it isn't a deal breaker. I'd still...

I am using sveasoft's alchemy firmware and I've filled in the information so that the router can act as a VPN endpoint. When I dial in, it does connect, but I can't do anything useful like access folder shares or the computer itself behind that network though. Is there any other configurations...

Anyone know if they have been shipped and ready to sell (specifically black and 60GB model) at Fry's or Best Buy?

Somehow it seems like sygate is blocking firefox and the only way to allow me to browse websites is to check the allow all traffic option, which sort of defeats the purpose of why I used it in the first place. I started digging around and at first I found an explanation from the developers of...

If I were to use a 10/100 router (WRT54g), attach a gigE switch to it, and then have the computers attached to the switch, for internal file transfers, would it be at gigE speeds or at 100mbps speeds? And how does jumbo frames support fit in there?

I'm just having trouble putting all the possible upgrade paths together since I can't/afford to do all of them at the same time, so I wanted to hear some suggestions. This is the current equipment I have. X-fi Extreme Music upgrade from Audigy Old JVC Stereo Amp Model AX-R450 disabled EQ...

I'm looking for opinions on how those three stack up. Specifically, the different cards that use those audio chipsets. For the X-fi it would be the Extreme Music version. I believe I saw a EMU 0404 card, and I don't know any specific sound cards that use a Via Envy. I'm looking to upgrade my...

What's the difference between these boards? DFI LP UT nF4 SLI-D DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR From what I can read from dfi's website, the R is for Raid, but I don't know what the D or UT stands for. Anyone know which one is probably the best overclocker? Or maybe I...

I am now wondering if it matters if I need a hardware based raid card anymore. With dual core becoming mainstream, I think hardware based cards may actually hinder performance as a modern day cpu can compute the xor bit many times faster than the processor located on the hardware based...

Anyone get that combination of stuff working together? If not, is there an alternative firmware that supports wds and wpa at the same time?

I am just having a hard time with configuring a router to work as a gateway for a t1 connection, which should have been a piece of cake. The router trying to be used is a linksys wrt54g v1.0 with latest linksys firmware flashed. Here's an example of the numbers that were given by the ISP...

Yes...you read that right. I am looking to integrate a system with 3.2Terabytes of storage. I'm basically looking for products that would allow me to use a drive as 3.2T under Win2k/XP. The main thing is that DVR programs have to be able to write to what would be recognized under 2k/XP as an...

I'm looking for an ultraportable and the only research I've done is on the Latitude X1 and the D410 which both suit my needs. I am leaning towards the X1 though because it is lighter, but I would like to know some recommendations from other people for other brands. Main thing I want it to...

Current cheap and good overclocking value ram is either OCZ PC3200 Value Series P/N OCZ4001024WV3DC-K (Winbond - Value VX) or OCZ PC3200 Gold P/N OCZ4001024PDC-K (Winbond BH5) This is a cut and past conclusion from anandtech. NOW SOMEONE MAKE THIS A STICKY TO GET RID OF ALL THE...

I would like to trade my Seagate 100GB 5400RPM Laptop Hard Drive for a 100GB 4200RPM Laptop hard drive. I would prefer one with 3 year warranty. The seagate hard drive has been used for a month or so, and no problems. I just have a problem with it consuming too much power. edit: oops...

I'm selling a basically brand new 4x DVD+/-?RW from a Dell Inpsiron 8600 without the front bezel. I think someone with a Hitachi-LG Drive might be able to use this too, and so I have included some pictures to help you check if it might work for your laptop. Asking price is $75. I know that a...
