    RAID 1 data corruption problem help needed

    Good idea! I'm running Memtest-86 right now but I'll try the software RAID once that's ran for a while. Thanks!

    RAID 1 data corruption problem help needed

    I have, and there IS an updated BIOS for this card but the server doesn't have a floppy drive in it. I guess I'll have to scrounge one up from somewhere and install it. Any other thoughts?

    RAID 1 data corruption problem help needed

    (This is a repost from Anandtech forums since I thought posting in an actual Disk Storage Systems forum might get more of a response. I also apologize for the length of the post, but I tried to include as much info as I could.) Hi all! I'm having a problem with my RAID setup and I need some...

    Have they stopped making AGP cards?

    As far as what the GPU makers are saying, no more AGP cards will be produced. the 6800\x850 lines are the last. That may change, but I wouldn't count on it. I'd pick one up now as they're going to become scarce in the future.

    Have you ever reformatted and then discovered that you forgot to back something up?

    I've done it on my machine but the only major screw up I had was a few years ago. I had a drive that I wanted to reformat, and I also had a separate drive with a separate partition that I backed everything up to (you know, just like you should...). However, when it came time to format, I...

    Saving Attatchments in XP

    When you say it saves it as a generic file, what do you mean? It should prompt you for the file name and the type of file. What's the file that you're clicking on and it's extension? This info would help...

    Help!!!!

    Heh, we've all done something similar... Just open Windows Explorer Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Show Hidden Files and Folders That should show you the hidden file as a semi-transparent icon on your desktop.

    What is the oldest system you have in use?

    Please tell me you have something more current... lol As for me? My old trusty Gateway Performance 500 with all stock except for vid card. Works well and is like a rock (a big heavy slow rock, but I digress...). I got it right before the Pentium Pro came out and I was sooooooooo mad...

    Dell Inspiron 5100 won't start up; it'll power up for 2 seconds then shut off.

    Sounds like a possible heat issue. If the CPU's not getting cooled then once it warms up it'll hit it's thermal limit and automatically shut off. Maybe you can check your HSF? HTH phatrabt

    NEC 16X Double Layer DVD±RW $72.99 Shipped!

    Got mine on Friday and was surprised when I got it... It was in the box wrapped in bubble-wrap; no box, manual, software, nothing! just a drive wrapped in bubble-wrap in a box. I thought it was interesting... On a useful note, I've used it to make a few backups of my system stuff. Seems...

    Need help with LAN center network.

    I'm with Orinthical on this one. Unless you're running a Frac-T or higher I don't really think you need a Cisco router. His suggestion above about using two OTS routers (the gaming one uplinked to a Gig-e switch) and 2 static IP's is exactly what I was thinking of. That way your gaming...

    New Computer That Won't Stay On...Please Help!

    It's POSSIBLE that the PS is bad, so if you have another one you can throw in there to test it would help. As far as it being aboe to run it, it should be more than enough. I'm still leaning towards the heat issue. Also, just because the HS\fan is on there the way it's supposed to be doesn't...

    New Computer That Won't Stay On...Please Help!

    Have you theought that it might be overheating? That's why it lasts for the 40 secs as it heats up and then shuts down and then won't stay up until you let it cool down? Just a possibility... HTH

    P2P Issues

    It's more than likely due to SP2 limiting the number of connection to your machine. You should look in the forums of the respective P2P progs for an answer.

    Dell 2001FP's video inputs and the PS2

    IIRC it's because the PS2 is outputting the signal in the NTSC format, which is only like 525 lines of resolution. Your monitor is used to a FAR HIGHER resolution. To do this you would need a "VGA Adapter". HTH

    Can I change when things start to group in taskbar?

    I'm with Achtung on this one. If you don't like the grouping of IE's windows then you may like Tabbed Browsing. There's lots of alternatives out there, Firefox being the non-MS one. I personally use Maxthon, which is based on the IE engine. I don't want to start a flame war, so try them and...

    Wireless Router Problem (At least that's what I think it is)

    IS your router losing you IP lease? That could be one reason. Check the lights on the front of your modem and see if there's a problem. If possible, check your modem logs and\or router logs to see if you can see anything. You say the rest of the network works fine, can you ping addresses on...

    *** Official Catalyst 4.10 Thread ***

    I installed the 4.10's without the CCC (just installed over the 4.9's) and everything seemed ok until I needed a R-Click menu, then it takes about 3 seconds for the menu to slowly appear (as in it WOULD appear, but it would be choppy). I restored back to the image that I made just before that...
