    Win2008 + software raid 5 + OS hd crash.

    My backups are ok for non-media, its the movie/tv library that would be a pain to rebuild (hence using a raid5). Any ideas on why I can't get into the recovery console? Was hoping to try checking the MBR before reinstalling.

    Win2008 + software raid 5 + OS hd crash.

    I have a home server running Win2008r2 for which the the HD has crashed (on boot it hangs at Verifying DMI....). I'm poor (well, married) so I've been using a software raid5 fo the 4x2tb storage drives. This has been working fine. Now if I have to reinstall Win2008 on a new HD, can I remount...

    Regretting buying an Android phone

    Sounds like your battery is dying on you. Grab a copy of Dr.Battery and see. I have a Sprint Pre and will probably be replacing it w/ a Epic 4g. I need a real keyboard so the EVO is out. The pre's keyboard is just too small for my thumbs. The hardware is just not very good also. Add in...

    Eve Online - After 7 years, can't find a reason to log on

    There are enough enterprising members in Goons that prevent serious gouging from happening. How? Multiple sellers. Low cost JF services (~100isk per m3). And just plan greed. If a item is being gouged, then someone else will import some in to sell. If a player tries to corner the market...

    Eve Online - After 7 years, can't find a reason to log on

    The problem with people wanting the game to be easier is you want your hand held. I was a long time everquest player before Eve. EQ introduced a newbie zone where you literally had your hand held while you were in there. Since you have levels, you stick to content which applies to your level...

    Eve Online - After 7 years, can't find a reason to log on

    Fair warning....I'm a Goon. Seriously though.... One of the things I like about being in Goonwaffe (aka reformed Goonswarm) is nothing is mandatory. If you log in, you can go spend all day ratting in Venal while fighting is going on in Fountain and no one will bitch at you. There are...

    Converting to DivX: Bitrate?

    I love handbrake, but I have a situation where I need XviD/AVI formatted files, not h.264. I'm using a softmodded XBox w/ XBMC as a media center in my den (w/ regular TV, not LCD). This is where my kids watch all their shows and the original XBox cannot play h.264 files. I've been using...

    re-adding a missing HDD

    I think i figured this out (its been a while since I set up this comp). Basically the nvidia onboard raid shares ports with the onboad sata controller. I was running a mirror'd drive which I pulled out the system. When I plugged the new drive in, the nvidia controller software had to be...

    Crucial Ballistic memory issue

    I have a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R motherboard running a Q9450. Now it runs fine with my G.Skill 2g x 2 memory (4g total; model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK). But with 2 sticks of Crucial Ballistic memory, I've been getting BSOD's w/ Win7. I initially thought it was bad memory and eventually RMA'd it. It...

    Need free media center style software

    I'd go with XBMC also. If this is a dedicated media center PC, there is complete Ubuntu linux build w/ XBMC on it available. Also, one issue with XBMC on WinXP is its abaility to play h.264 videos (due to WinXP). There is a forked build which fixes this.

    What OS to use for a server hosting all my movies?

    How is the new edition of WHS (vail)? I have a Win2003 box that I was going to rebuild and WHS didnt seem like much of a step compared with going to Win2008r2. Running beta software nor licenses is much of an issue (I have a MSDN acct).

    Anydvd and Handbrake. Do I need CloneDVD too?

    When you rip with Handbrake you specify which track (movie) you want to rip. I've used it quite a bit and like it for h.264/MKV files. My problem is i'm using a original XBox running XBMC for my kids media center. Works great but it doesn't like h.264 (doesnt have the horsepower for it)...

    The New EVE: Apocrypha

    Rev is only overpowered because it doesnt need to reload. For DPS, a Nag w/ 3 faction Gyros and 2-3 faction BCS along with faction ammo can do 800+ more DPS then a rev.

    Is it normal to have hardware periodically die?

    Figuring I've been doing an cpu/mb/video card upgrade every 2-3 years for the past 20 years, I've gone through a lot of parts. In that time I've only had 1 MB die on me (a Asus micro ATX board). Aside from some IBM click-o-death hard drives, I've only had one drive go truly bad while it was...

    Best case with cooling AND quietness in mind?

    I have 2 Antec p180s and they are great. There are a few things that can be done to improve air flow and space issues. If you only have 3 hard drives, you can put them in the bottom chamber and just leave the upper HD housing out of the case. This gives you plenty of space for a oversized...

    Hats Off to Antec Customer Support!

    I'll chime in and say hats off to them also. I bought a p180 floor model that was missing the hinge for the front door. I ask how I could get one and they sent me a new door and hinge at no cost and free shipping.

    I tried 3.6g and the system reboots when running prime95 even though the temp is only 60c w/ realtemp. Voltage was 1.35 for the vcore, 1.3 for the NB and 1.9 for the memory. Since heat isnt the issue, what is?
