Hi- I recently turned on my Toshiba Satellite 1405-S151 laptop after several weeks not using it and, after starting with the Toshiba logo & icons, it came to a blank page with "HDD Password =" and a flashing cursor. I have never set an HDD Password on my computer. Tried typing in a few passwords...

Hi, I'm going to install a Infrant EasyNAS nv+ in the basement of my house. It's a pretty clean place but i guess i still have to protect the nas device from dust. What do you guys use for this? Is there some sort of protective case available (glass or something?) which would still allow for...

I'm trying to figure out why my PC (a homebuilt 2.8Ghz P4, 1Gig RAM) is going so slow these days when it used to be fairly nimble. Even the nuclear option - reformat and reinstall Windows XP - hasn't really helped that much. I suspect the hard drive (Western Digital 200G, 7200RPM, 8M cache). ...

Hi When I first built my system I only had one drive (WD1500) and OS and Apps installed without any problems. Its currently configured with C as the primary drive plus extended partition with three logical drives I've since added more physical drives (a mix of SATA and IDE).

Laptop or notebook computer technology is advancing at a blistering speed. Ferrari fast. So fast that by the time you purchase your new laptop, it's probably already obsolete or out of date. A sobering thought considering the hefty prices you have to pay for a high-end laptop. Read Full...

Hi All, I have just installed a Netgear SC101 in at my kids gymnastics club. It has been working fine up till now - when I thought I was doing the right thing and upgraded the firmware and client software - as netgear encourages. However, things have gone a little haywire now. I have two disks...

Hello all, I currently have a Dell Optiplex desktop with a 160GB SATA drive that contains an existing installation of Windows XP Pro. I have worked with RAID cards before where when you create the array you can extend the data from the source disk into the other disk in the mirrored array but I...

Hi. I'd like to make use of this drive if possible - I know there were SCSI Zip-drives, but I'm fairly sure this uses standard IDE/ATAPI signals (was used in conjunction with Addonics PCMCIA-IDE card). The connector is an obscure 48-way fine-pitch type! :-( It's not a 2mm header, nor the 50-way...

Hi, this seems to be the place to post this question but am happy to post to another group if there is a better one for the question. Situation: I was about to reinstall W2K on my laptop but before doing so I was going to copy some files first across the network.

Is there a way to permanently set a DVD-R and CD-R to not write in the read only format, or do I have to set it every time? Can it be set prior to writing the disc? Thanks

Hi, I purchased 4x 250 GB deskstars (sataII) , hoping to put them in RAID 5 and I had a few questions: I have an old K62 550 with a decent Inwin ATX case. I'm contemplating purchasing the 4 port PCI SATA II controller from Promise and sticking it in the old machine. The Power Supply is 250...

Anyone know why the SATA/150 PCI card that came with a Maxtor SATA drive won't recognize my SATA tape drive? Reading the manual and from what I have googled it seems maybe the card only supports hard disk drives. Is this really a limitation of PCI cards? If so can someone recommend me a PCI (not...

The device is a sort of small HDD in your hand but it could be better if somehow fitted it with the cellphone, as it will not be hassle free to carry two devices(cellphone and BluOnyx). The amount of data that you can store in this device ranges between 1 GB to 40 GB. This 85 x 54 x 6 mm devices...

I recently repartitioned my hard disk with PartitionMagic 8.0, which I have not used before. Among other changes, I created a new partition by copying my system (drive C) partition, which contains Windows XP. I hid the copy, intending it to be a backup in case I ever made a disabling change to the...

How can I display which hard drives on my XP PC have powered down? I have several hard drives (sometimes connected via a PCI adapter board). When I use the PC after a long period of inactivity then some hard drives spin up. But it seems that not all hard drives do and some hard drives will...

I have a Western Digital WD2000JB-00GVA0. The value for the Spin Up Time attribute is 89. I have two additional WD2000JB drives and there attribute values are 131 and 135. It appears the "threshold" value is 21. I'm guessing the drive with the 89 is showing it's age--about 4 years old I'm...

The CPU-Unit on this RAID Controller becomes extremely hot (I guess about 80 degrees Celsius) after a few minutes. (Even without any SAS/ SATA Drives attached!) My question is if that is normal for that controller?. Do I need to cool it or does the controller raise an alarm once it gets to hot?.
