I’m planning on setting up two 2*1TB RAID 1 arrays, but I want to make sure I can take any of the drives out and read it from any other computer’s SATA port (or a SATA to USB cable). I was googling and read some forum posts suggesting different controllers might use special...

Good point BBA. It would be a good idea then to keep the system files seperate from personal files. So you unlock your system partition before loading the OS with this new feature, then when you're logged in you can unlock/mount your other partition with personal files. Hopefully I get...

Can it go into standby/sleepmode? Hibernation is different right? It will be useless for my laptop if I can't use standby/sleep.

Cool! I've been waiting for this release. Hopefully I can try it soon. From the website: Wondering how it will work with multiple operating systems on different partitions. It uses its own bootloader to do preboot authentication. Anyone try it yet?

Notebook is a Twinhead Durabook D13R-Y Built in ethernet is Agere et-131x This problem is about a day old. I can get an ip from router and have access for a minute, then randomly it cuts out. If I reboot, it will work for a minute maybe, or it won't work at all, or it will be ok for 10 mins...

I think the alarming ACPI temp must be like 30ish degrees too high. When I do a cold boot if it says something like 58 when the mobo should be colder than everything else at that point. The core temps should be just about the hottest thing at any point, so 86 degrees is pretty unrealistic when...

those temps are high I agree, but you can't always trust sensor readings either keep in mind it is a laptop so hot temps are expected, and mine is barebones with good thermal paste instead of stock thermal pad so stock DURABOOK would normally run hotter I can pass the Blend test with only...

More detail: 10 minutes of Small FFTs test went fine, ACPI temp went up to 86 Core temps maxed at 69 holy shit, this thing is going to catch on fire in the summer Ran Large, in-place FFTs for ~2min with no problems Blend lasts about 20 sec before I lockup, temps don't get nearly as...

omg, i just tried the orthos blend test it did the lockup after like 5 seconds!! could it be bad cpu? bad motherboard? crap!! trying again, after 25s it locked up with core temps going from initially 33ish to 50,51

got a couple memtest passes done with no errors This is frustrating since I built this laptop to replace the last one I had that had a bad motherboard. Right now I just need something that works, but I'll have to see what kind of warranty I got seeing it's a barebones... Anyone got ideas...

Please check out this picture I took of my screen: http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aV4lPXr I keep getting these lockups on my laptop where the screen goes like this. All along the right side are these weird artifacts. When I feel underneath the laptop, it doesn't feel so hot as if...

I'm looking for a cardbus / pcmcia card to give me firewire 800 The cards I can find: NN-PC8312: "siig DV kit " CB1394B3: Startech 3-PORT IEEE-1394B FIREWIRE 800 and I can find a LaCie card Worried about the drivers for win xp sp2. The only thing I could google was that the...

I zeroed out the drive then reformatted & installed XP. Ended up with 2 MFT fragments still. Maybe it can't be avoided? I haven't had much luck googling any of this. I might try Diskeeper and Perfectdisk as they suposedly do stuff to the MFT and/or pagefile. I also tried making a 2 GB...

So, when I defragment and it compacts all the data into a nice solid blue chunk, isn't that just going to cause more fragmenting? It moves all the data into that chunk, and thus has no room to grow like you say. Would it not be best if the degragmenter evenly spaced out all these files that...

Just setting up my new laptop with XP Pro (seagate momentus 120GB sata). I'm getting all these fragments on my C: drive as described below, but I have no idea what is normal/expected fragmenting behaviour. You can either tell me not to worry, or how to fix it ;) Partitions: 4GB C: Just...

*CRIES* all I had to do was restart my NAS :mad: :mad: :mad: it's always the simplest thing isnt it...

well I just reloaded my ghost image from yesterday when everything worked fine guess what. the problem persists maybe I should just screw wasting my time on this and use FTP to access my NAS instead of CIFS...

yeah i've tried, no diff. more weirdness now trying my norton ghost recovery disc I used to be able to see my network when booting from this, now it doesn't work I can ping it from here though lol, how useful is this that I can't even access my recovery point on my NAS What has...

this is sooo annoying I get Incoming UDP connections on port 1900 to svchost.exe from the ip addresses of comps/NAS in the workgroup. whyyy doesnt windows let me access them

correct, it is a NAS, i just called it a fileserver no problem with other computers

i can type its ip address in a web browser and get to its config page I used to be able to see computers in my network places, ie. My Network Places>Entire Network>Microsoft Windows Network>Workgroup now says "Workgroup is not accessible," blah blah I should just be able to type...

all those are started already

I googled and tried a winsock fix program. Problem persists.... Note I can use web browser etc, its just networking thats broken

ok this is really frustrating me! I've been setting up windows XP on my laptop, and everything was perfect until networking randomly stopped working in windows I try to connect to my network raid fileserver \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ipaddress), and windows just gives me "The network path cannot...

I've been looking at ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100, and the Thecus N5200. The new Linksys NSS4000 looks like another option, but I can't find any reviews or any performance comparisons...

ZU! taka taka taka taka

Just recently, I've noticed that sometimes when I try to watch any video file the video plays all corrupt and has green bands and stuff scrolling around. A quick fix is to reboot, and then videos play fine. It's only videos too. 3d and everything else is fine. I use VLC, don't know how to...

ftp is too complicated for some people. If something like GnucleusLAN works that would be perfect. Stormlifter, did you find anything? I can't find anything about getting gnucleusLAN to work.

i thought you needed a dc server?

Looking for a p2p program to share just on the LAN. My dorm is all on the same subnet, so for example firing up OurTunes you can see people. (Note, cant just simply browse ala Network Neighborhood. net view gives: "System error 6118 has occured. The list of servers for this workgroup is...

Yeah, I could put in a repair request for that. I might do this at a later point, I've done enough dicking with this and I'm worrying about midterms. Thanks for the suggestion, I think it is a good idea to get this receptacle replaced.

I've never wired a hot receptacle. I guess I could just go home and grab one of the "stick the wires in the holes" type. That would be really easy actually. The box is some really old crap though (from the old day before grounding I suppose). I have the ground pigtail on one of the screws...

Well I used some extra 12 gage wire to connect the ground to the box as simply suggested. That fixed the problem, and then I had to semi-permanently ziptie my extension cord to the outlet, going around the plate and outside to keep the plug from coming loose from the aged outlet (very finicky...

It really doesn't make sense to me that it's faulty. I used it at home, and it worked fine (shows no warnings) I try it in other guy's dorms, it works fine. It's screwy in my room and my neighbors. I sent something to APC. I'd like to hear there say on my symptoms.

the clicking/overload light happens no matter what. fridge unplugged doesnt change it. yeah, this isnt a ups. its a power strip / surge suppressor by receptacle, I meant the box, I guess receptacle box Maybe just wiring the ground to the actual outlet instead of just the box will fix...

Ok, I'm going to try and organize this a bit. I have an APC SurgeArrest surge suppressor. I am 100% positive it is not faulty. I have used it at my home which is properly wired to code. The unit isn't malfunctioning. It was factory tested and there was test receipts and all with stamps and...

Hey guys. So I had a guy come in to check out my outlets. He used a simple plug tester, which basicly denoted no problems. I showed him how my apc surgearrest shows the building wiring light, and had to explain it's not faulty etc. Eventualy he opened up the plate and we see there is...

Yikes! I've been using it all this time. This could possibly be only my room I guess too. Can you elaborate any more, just so I sound informed on my reasoning for urgent help? Is my ground faulty?
