Hello. I have my third internal HDD (Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus ST3120026A 120 GB (8 MB cache; 7200 RPM)) connected to the VIA SATA Controller. The reason for this setup is because I have three internal HDDs and two CD/DVD drives (one is a burner). Also, using the onboard Promise controller...

I have had many different HDDs in my computers for the last 10 years, and never suffered any hdd death or loss of data. Maybe I was just lucky. I haven't been too worried about being at the bleeding edge of access times and sustained transfer speeds, and I have tried P-ATA RAID0 with various...

I've got four FUJITSU MAP3735NC 73 GB SCSI disc drives connected to an LSI LOGIC 20320-R U320 scsi controller. I want to enable the write cache on two of the discs. How can I do that unter SuSE Linux 9.1, kernel 2.6.5-7.104-smp? I found no posibility to enable the discs' cache in the bios of...

Hi, I'm trying to install XP on a Fujitsu Scenic P300, using a PCI SATA Raid card. I've got the right drivers on floppy, press F6, load the drivers, choose partition etc, XP starts to install. Gets as far as the first reboot - then it can't see the drive anymore ! Anyone seen this behaviour...

Hello this is my first post here, i have found these groups to be very useful, and i want to enrich them by adding an interesting question. he he ;) I have a windows 2000 computer with a Seagate 80 Gb IDE HDD. Recently I have been getting alerts on the system event viewer. These alerts basically...

Hi, I know there are many not-so-expensive NAS devices out there to use at home, like f.e. the new Dlink DNS-323. The thing is --and i know the dns-323 doesn't support this-- that i would like to have a usb connection when i'm close to the nas device and (obviously) a LAN connection when i'm in...

Hello, I assume when it says "Warning" in "Current Pending Sector Count", that's a bad sign, right? It's a WD30EZRX, the actual values a Normalized: 200, Worst: 66, Threshold: 0, Value: 63 Sectors. Reason enough to send it in? It's under warranty until mid 2014.

Does DVD-RAM have the same file system limitations that CDR/DVD-R/DVD+R have? Like 7 directories max depth, 32 character file names, etc? I need to back up 500gb of MP3's and I'm really tired of zipping them into 700mb chuncks, and burning them to CD-R. (In order to preserve the directory...

A newly referred customer (as opposed to someone who's been exposed my repeated exhortations to back up all data religiously) just brought me a Maxtor Romulus 60 GB drive which has unbacked-up critical data on it. When I run Powermax it reports a drive recal failure (error UK0E02) & aborts further...

Hi. I noticed a client's 15" MacBook Pro responding slowly, locked up with Firefox and couldn't kill it, and shut down. Even booting up after doing a force shut down with the power button was slow. I decided to check the internal HDD with SMARTReporter v2.7.3 (green and pass results, but...

I'm brand new to Ghost 2003 and after a successful clone on my brothers computer (bigger hard drive) I thought it would make a good backup for my new Win2K machine. What I want to do sounds simple but fails. This machine is tied to a router/switcher along with a FreeBSD server and another smp...

I'm this has been asked many times before but I can't find an answer. I noticed file size is limited to 4gig when HD is formatted to FAT32. What is the file size limit for NFTS? And can a drive with data be converted... and how? The reason I ask is I have drive "D" reserved for video...

It has been mentioned a few times here that Drive Image 7.0x needs Microsoft's .NET Framework in order to run. (See Drive Image's FAQ at: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/powerquest.nsf/docid/2004085392080562?OpenDocument&src=hot&prod=Drive%20Image&ver=7.x&csm=no&tpre= ) .. But I recently...

I had made a system image backup using Macrium Reflect. I recently had a misadventure with trying to install SP1 onto Windows 7, which screwed it up completely, so I had to restore from Macrium. After 25 hours restoring from a USB hard disk, it finally finished restoring. I tried rebooting from...

Looking for a way to connect 2 pc's via floppy ports? Any suggestions would be helpfull. Please do not suggest the obvious as using floppy diskettes. I want to try to connect 2 pc's using the floppy's 34 pin cables. Thanks.

My 250 gb drive has died. Windows no longer sees it at all. During boot I hear 3 repeating beeps (long-short-long), prior to boot. It delays boot process by about a minute. Smart has been enabled now, but it finds nothing. Weirdest thing is that IDE detection no longer shows the drive model, but it...

Well, that about says it all. I have another thread going here, and maybe I should ask if it's wiser to order peripherals from the company that made your machine (in my case, IBM ThinkPad). Is an external hard drive any less proprietary than say an external floppy drive? There are some...
