Terrible nightmare last night.
I dreamed my computer didn't turn on anymore.
Probably the powerbox was kaputt. I couldn't get it working no more... I was deep in stress. I was afraid the harddisks would get damaged, because of people or so moving the dead pc ? (Neighbours were making terrible noise as well, *real*) What do you think it all means ? Bye, Skybuck. |

Hmm, I have decided to burn my first (?) dvd with my most important data on
it... (data backup) Just in case. Bye, Skybuck. "Skybuck Flying" wrote in message .home.nl... I dreamed my computer didn't turn on anymore. Probably the powerbox was kaputt.

Hmmm yes I always run into all kinds of software problems, I have come to
expect it. 1. Winzip's evaluation period has expired, I knew that but: 2. Windows XP X64's "Send To Zip Folder" feature is limited to 32 bits it seems, it can't handle 4 GB files. Kinda ****y. I do wanna compress my file disk images, from 5 GB to something more acceptable. Not sure how much space is on DVD... but there is lots of unused space in 5GB file so it will compress good. I guess I have no choice but to use WinRar instead which is a less well known compression tool (?!) Oh well. Bye, Skybuck. "Skybuck Flying" wrote in message .home.nl...

Hmm strangely enough I can't unmount the filediskimages with the unmount
batch file... Hmmm I guess I will have to exclude the mount batch from startup and reboot without the file disk images and then I will try "Send To Folder" one more time which will probably not work. Yeah... files were in used WinRar said. I will use WinRar anyway... because Microsoft's Software has the habit to keep throwing all kinds of suprises(=bugs) into my face Bye, Skybuck.

It means that you need to put up the extra cash and use a dual layer dvd for burning that big file so you don't have to use those 'exotic' (sic) compression programs so you can feel reassured that your file is secure as a zip.

Use a reliable OS like FreeBSD. Where compression schemes won't fail on you. |
