I have been reading about many different ways to back up data. Is there a popular method that is used today? I am trying to decide on Tapes or DVDs or any other method. Is there a convention method that is used today? I would probably be backing up the system once a week. I would be backing up...

I bought a new 80G Toshiba 2.5" HD to use as a backup USB drive for my ancient desktop. I run Win 98SE on the 233Mhz desktop. At first the desktop couldn't see more than 10G of the USB drive. Someone suggested updating the Fdisk to a newer version. I did and bingo, it could now see 80G. I...

I purchased a network attached storage device called a Lan Drive model HD9-U2LA and I think it was from RJTech but the documentation indicates it is a USBEX device (http://www.usbex.com/landrive) The drive is either a network device or a USB device (not both at once). It works, but I have a few...

Hey all, I've recently been trying to fix my mothers computer so naturally I placed her harddrive into my computer to see if it worked. I bought a new drive and put it in my now working computer also, alas neither of them worked. The old HD I could have reformatted but I'm trying to salvage...

I recently connected my 3 1/2" floppy drive to one of my systems, and discovered that all my old floppies are no longer readable. And, most of them can't even be formatted successfully. No real surprise here, since most of the disks are well over 10 years old, including lots of those AOL...

We have a number of IBM LTO fibre channel tape drives in a StorageTek L700 library. A manual tape insertion to the drive(s) works fine, and the drive shows status as Loaded. The instant we connect the drive to a Brocade full-fabric 2250 fibre channel switch, the drive shows status...

I connected 4 units Seagate ST340016A ATA100 to a 3W-7450 (firmware & Windows driver 7.7.0) and compared read & write speeds between RAID0 & JBOD with HDTach 2.7 on unformatted drives, but very puzzled to find RAID0 (4-drive striped 1024K write-cache enabled) slower than JBOD speeds. Here are the...

Am trying to find the answer to a simple question. Or some help. I have a laptop with one drive. Partitioned as "C:" and "D:". When I boot my 2002 ghost from a floppy I can select "C" as the partition I want to image but when the screen goes to the destination only the floppy "A" drive is listed....
