Why is this folder so slow? by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
I have a folder on one of my SSD drives that takes 8 to 10 hours to back
up. It is only about 1.4 GB, but it is allocated 2.4 GB of space
altogether, and there are 580,000 files here. Indicates that per file
it's using up a little bit over half of a cluster on average. File
system is...

Boot.ini question by

A line in my boot.ini is:

I figured out (I think) that rdisk (0) is drive 0 or the C: drive.
Also partition (2) must be the second partition in the C: drive or drive 0.

Hello.
What's a good external HDD to get these days for Windows (2000 SP4 (9x
might be needed though) to the latest), Mac OS X (10.2+ to latest), and
Linux? It will mainly be for storage/backups and carrying between places
with multiple computers so I'd like it to be light and small. It doesn't...

Can high voltage from power supply damage harddrive? by
mm
I just talked to my friend who gave me the Dell computer, and he said
that his repair guy told him the reason his harddrive failed may
(likely?) have been a surge or something coming from the power supply.
Is this a cause of harddrive failure?
A common cause?
A conceivable cause but really a...

USB stick leaking by
Linea Recta[_2_]
I used a Lexar USB stick yesterday to boot a computer. I haven't used the
stick intensively, but now I noticed that it is leaking sticky stuff from
the seam on the sides. Any idea what the stuff is? Is it toxic? Can I keep
using the stick normally?
