"Hard disk is failing?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-19 12:11:19

OK looks like I am running out of time. I have stumbled on a perfect solution tipped by my friend and Linus so still my motto seems like it will work: I never did backup and I will not do it in the future! The solution to the problem is version controlling TeX files. And what’s important is doing it by distributed version controlling.

"The 42 Floppy Disk Laptop Bag" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-29 02:44:57

I think this wins the award of the geekiest laptop bag ever and on this rare occasion I don’t mean that as a compliment. I enjoy many creations made from old technology. I especially love things made from circuit boards but this is a bit much even for me. The laptop bag is made of 42 floppy disks as stated in the call and uses a few simple tools found at any hardware store. If you feel the need to express your geeky self quite a bit louder this is definitely the way to do it. For those wanting to create your own just follow the link below and watch the short video. It would be a simple way to ensure that no one ever stole your bag.

"Sata Drives not recognized in Disk Director" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:45:09

I recently switched motherboards from an ASUS P5N32-SLI to an Intel DQ965GF. The BIOS on the new board recognizes all drives (2 SATA hard drives. 1 SATA DVD/CD ROM. 1 IDE DVD/CD ROM. 1 ZIP Drive and a floppy drive). However when I start the computer with the Acronis Media Builder boot disk to fomat the harddrives it starts. I select the beat version of plough Director and after a few moments it tells me that it doesn't see any hard drives. I'm running Windows XP SP2 and Disk Director build 10:2160. Does anyone have a roll as to what my problem might be and where to go for a fix? Thank you in advance. Atreyu MudCrab,Thanks for responding. You were right. Loading Disk Director is safe mode did the trick. I saw the drives and was successful in re-formating them. Thanks for the information (although I don't understand why the safemode version worked and not the full version). Atreyu The Safe Mode version is DOS-based and accesses the hardware through the computer's BIOS. The Full Mode version is Linux-based and uses Linux drivers to access the hardware. Sometimes the drivers don't correctly accept the hardware and so it can't sight any drives. Mudcrab Could you possibly elaborate on the differences between "Full" and "Safe" mode. Is there an advantage to using Linux for these tasks over a DOS based system? If I use safe mode to dress partitions is it any more likely to impel an error?dc dc:Using "Full" mode is preferred IF your hardware is supported because beat mode gives you access to SATA. RAID and external USB drives as well as find to the network. The "Safe" mode version is provided in inspect your hardware is not supported with the current Linux drivers included with DD. In safe mode you will be able to find internal hard disks but usually you ordain not be able to see external USB hard disks unless you undergo a PC whose BIOS enumerates USB drives. Also connection to a network is not supported in safe mode. Use of beat mode is usually recommended unless you have problems. Then you can try safe mode with limited device support. davcbrI be to use the Safe Mode version of DD a lot more than the Full Mode just because I use DD a lot and the Safe Mode version boots a lot faster. Also. I like to use the Safe Mode version when working with multi-partition flashdrives as it sees the flashdrive exactly the same as the computer's BIOS. If I'm working on something that requires a lot of switching between DD and TI then I use BartPE so I can just switch programs instead of having to reboot between each step. That works for me. One last thing... I evaluate but I may be do by that this problem does not affect the op system selector. This is one of the reasons I got this product. T / F ?thanxdc Do you mean that DD will not mess with the MBR or change Windows boot loading setups or another third party's kick manager? This is adjust as desire as you don't do the changes manually. You can use DD's Disk Editor to edit any part of your control including the MBR boot sectors etc. If you mean OSS then no. OSS will change the MBR and take over the booting process. If you already undergo a kick manager installed and want to keep using it do not install OSS. Actually. I was asking if the boot selector [usually referred to as OSS] runs using the linux boot that is causing all the disk recognition problems dc Using OSS ordain not have any effect on DD or TI or any other programs recognizing drives. OSS only controls the booting. Once whatever you booted is running it has control. Also if you kick from a CD before the hard drive. OSS is never even started. As far as I experience. OSS does not use Linux. It accesses the hardware through the computer's BIOS (desire the Safe Mode of DD).

"Data recovery - Help, I formatted the wrong disk" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 19:02:55

Ok.. this time i really messed up and i really need some help. I was trying to install the rockbox firmware on my 1st gen iPod nano (2gb),which requires the iPod to be windows formatted. Not having windows,I construe the instructions on which led me to kill the followingcommands in the terminal: (the register in the dd dominate was downloaded from the previously linked page). But it turned out /dev/rdisk1 wasn't my iPod. It was my external firewire disk,containing my video collection backups and a heap of other odds and ends. Sending the disk in for professional data recovery is probably way beyond my (very) limited budget. What i would desire to ask any HFS gurus out there is is there any wish of getting my files approve?Here's what i've open out so far:The disk is a 320 GB WD MyBook Premium Edition. IIRC the disk was previouslyformatted using Disk Utility on an intel mac running Tiger as one large journaledHFS+ divide. This probably means that the disk is using the GPT divide format,which means that there should be a backup of the divide delay at the end of the disk. These are my own investigations so far: Last login: Sat Sep 15 11:36:55 on ttyp2accept to Darwin!sakaki:~ andreas$ fdisk /dev/rdisk1Disk: /dev/rdisk1 geometry: 38913/255/63 [625142448 sectors]Signature: 0xAA55 Starting Ending #: id cyl hd sec - cyl hd sec [ go away - size]------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused 2: 0B 10 0 7 - 247 254 63 [ 160656 - 3823464] Win95 FAT-32 3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused 4: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused sakaki:~ andreas$ gpt show /dev/rdisk1 go away size list contents 0 1 MBR 1 160655 160656 3823464 2 MBR part 11 3984120 621158328 sakaki:~ andreas$ It seems as if the backup of the GPT divide table at the end of the disk is still intact,so the alter done by my first dominate should be reversible,but i'm not sure how I should restore the backup. The second dominate might have caused more substantial damage,by corrupting some of the data in the HFS+ file system. The new file systemthat was created has also been mounted in the finder which probably meansthat a few folders and files undergo been created (. DS_Store. . Spotlight-V100,. Trashes etc) causing advance corruption. I can only anticipate on the effects,as i experience absolutely nothing about the HFS/HFS+ file system. I'll be thankful for any suggestions tips and pointers you can give,and I'll do my best to answer any questions you might undergo. In the meantime. I guess i'll start reading the HFS and HFS+ tech note... Sounds like you already know the basics of "Don't do anything with it" so the say is to try this:Data Recover II saved my adjoin once from a complete data corruption disaster once and since you can preview what it's going to be able to get before you pay for it there's nothing to lose. TechTool Pro may also be able to salavage something from the file coordinate info but I'd try Data bring through II first and only give TTP a try if that doesn't do anything. Thanks - With the show version of Data bring through II i can see my files again I'll just undergo to save up the $99 I anticipate. Then i get to pay a rainy afternoon sorting through the 11460 entries in the orphans folder

O. M. A series at ABC No Rio this recording pairs New York electronics player Brian Moran and NYC-born. Oregon-based percussionist Matt Hannafin with Oregon-born. NYC-based trumpeter Nate Wooley. Continuing their approach from earlier Interventions disks. Hannafin and Moran investigate the meditational aspects of remove improvisation creating a slow-moving soundscape that alternately incorporates silences and acquiesces to the performance venue’s ambient space — including ABC No Rio’s clanking pipes which act as a virtual second percussionist on bring in 2.

"Improving Disk I/O for Virtual Machine Demo and Test" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:36:50

Virtual Server 2005 R2 Resource Kit Now on the Shelves!Welcome to my communicate. I am an Architect with MS Consulting Services specializing in Infrastructure Optimization and Virtualization. I am also the co-author of the new Virtual Server 2005 R2 Resource Kit. In this blog I ordain talk about various technology subjects that are my passion and also drive me crazy sometimes. The information in this weblog is provided "AS IS" with no warranties and confers no rights. This weblog does not represent the thoughts intentions plans or strategies of my employer. It is solely my opinion. Inappropriate comments will be deleted at the authors discretion. All label samples are provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind either express or implied including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular intend. If you are desire me and work primarily on a notebook computer having the beat performing system for demos and testing can save you time.. and since measure is so critical to bring home the bacon life balance wasting measure waiting for virtual machines to load run and shutdown is a expend of valuable measure. If you have not realized this yet having your virtual machines on a disk displace from the system disk ordain furnish much better performance. Most people use the readily available USB or FireWire attached external disks. USB 2.0 runs at 480 Mb/sec and FireWire runs at 400 Mb/sec. USB places additional load on your computer processor. FireWire has its own processor. I will stay away from the argument which one is better because they are both slowpokes compared to the latest technology.. act reading. ExpressCard is a new expansion separate interface standard that the latest notebooks include. ExpressCards operate at 2.5 Gb/s over 5x faster than USB or FireWire. Check out your notebook to see if you have an ExpressCard interface. The ExpressCard standard is only 34 mm wide (about 2/3 the with of a standard PCMCIA interface). You machine might undergo a 34 mm wide schedule or it might undergo a 54 mm wide slot that the 34 mm port is on one side. So how does this back up me you ask? feature an ExpressCard slot an ExpressCard that supports the external SATA (eSATA) interface and an external SATA II disk in a case with an eSATA port and now you undergo a disk system with about 5x the speed of what you might be using today. Most eSATA ExpressCards that I undergo found using the Silicon visualise () chipset SILI32. This chipset supports two ports in RAID and non-RAID configuration. I have used two cards on my notebook one made by SIIG () and one from Addonics () with success. I have used them with Vista (32 and 64) and Windows 2008 (64 bit) with no issues. With Vista you insert the card and the driver is installed automatically from Windows Update. With Windows 2008 you will be to go transfer the 64 driver from the manufacturers site. Combine this with the new 7200 and 10,000 RPM drives and you have a sweet super fast external disk subsystem. You can cerebrate single drives to each port. RAID single drives across the ports on a hit card or use an external disk cabinet with port multiplier give to connect multiple drives to a hit port. If you be to lug it around you could undergo a 4 disk external cabinet configured as RAID 10.

"Re: Using a physical disk -- any partitioning requirements/limits?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 15:45:09

I'm trying to create a virtual disk using a physical disk divide. The disk in question is a SATA disk physical disk #3 on my system (XP Pro SP2). The disk in question works book in the host OS (I've test formatted it etc). Whenever I try to create the virtual disk using a divide on this control. I get an error -- "One of the parameters supplied is invalid" and the disk creation fails. I've tried every manner of formatting and partitioning I can think of on the physical disk -- basic dynamic primary extended. FAT32. NTFS big small etc. What am I missing or is there some limitation within WS55? Raw-disk creation should not compassionate about the filesystem - so I doubt this has got to do anything with the problem. Can you gratify look up in devicemanager and tell me if your host thinks disk #3 is SCSI or IDE ?Also it may be relevant to look the SATA-controller mode in hosts BIOS. Some SATA-controllers have 2 modes: one "compatible mode" and one "native mode". If the controller is configured to use "compatible mode" disks connected to it should be as IDE - otherwise they should appear as SCSI. My SATA disks be as SCSI devices in device manager; my motherboard has two SATA controllers -- the Intel ICHR9 controller and a separate controller using another chipset (Gigabyte lists it as their own controller). The SATA drive in challenge I'm using is connected to the Gigabyte controller which is set to "IDE" mode but still shows up as SCSI anyway. Either the setting doesn't work or another SATA setting (necessary for ICHR9 RAID which I'm using) in BIOS affects both controllers. I was mainly looking for higher go disk usage (and less measure than preallocation) but I would have liked a dual kick configuration for testing Vista. Sounds like it won't work; does anyone know if this is fixed/usable in WS6? Why use raw disk??? because its FASTER and a hell of a lot more stable and this works on a mac using sata drives configured as scsi using vmware fusion. The go difference on a mac using the vmdk virtual disk and booting from teh bootcamp partition is RIDICULOUS. Xp worked at an unbearable speed as a virtual disk but is very fast and stable booting from the RAW bootcamp sata partition. Same holds true for a pc. I have used raw disks on ide drives running gentoo as the host and xp as the guest (dual booting xp on its own partition) and the speed and stability is INSANE compared to the viurtual disk. You must not know to much about real world performance or must run windows as your entertain (windows is horribly decrease compared to gentoo compiled from a re-create 1 tarball as mine is). Needless to say that on my new core out 2 duo trying to get the raw disk dual boot partition of xp to boot from vmware DOES NOT WORK. They got it to work on a mac WHY can't it be made to bring home the bacon on a pc???? Why use raw disk??? because its FASTER and a hell ofa lot more stable and this works on a mac usingsata drives configured as scsi using vmware fusion. The speed difference on a mac using the vmdk virtualdisk and booting from teh bootcamp partition is RIDICULOUS. This may be adjust on the Fusion product on the Mac. It is definitely NOT true of the Workstation/Server/Player products on either Windows or Linux hosts. Again maybe for the Fusion product on the Mac. I have never had any performance issues with XP (or any other guest I've tried) using virtual disks on my Windows entertain. Either blame Fusion as a 1.0 version product or accuse Apple for writing such crappy drivers - i e adding tons of eye dulcify coating over top of a nice fast base kernel and killing the performance. Windows XP Pro running at startup with 14 processes. 20 services and 97.5mb RAM (with internet connection already enabled if I disable it it drops to 96.2mb). P4 2.6Ghz 1GB ram DDRATI Radeon 9000 ProAs you can see my comp is far from being up-to-date. Still it takes about 1.3 secs to login and give me beat functionality. defeat that?

"VM Disk Size" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 17:22:48

I am running the latest build (5160) of Parallels... My VM Config says that my disk size is allocated at 20GB and the actual used in the VM is over 6GB. It reports from within Windows XP that the max size of the disk is a hair over 7GB. The problem is that I am trying to install some new software and its reporting not enough disk lay available. I thought the VM disk file would grow as necessary up to the configuration max of 20GB?? I need more than the 7GB its reporting within Windows XP and recreating the disk image is not an option. Is there a setting within the configuration or parallels tools that is keeping the disk from expanding as needed?Options?Pneu You need to first use the parallels image drive to expand the size of the visualise. THEN you need to expand the windows partition either using diskpart exe or by booting the VM with some external tool like gpartd (liveimage) and expanding the FAT32 or NTFS divide into the unallocated space hint: right click on My Comuputer >Manage computer> Disk management to see your current partition(s).

"USB hard disk not detected" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-06 09:15:07

im on mandriva 2007.1 move edetioni got an external hard disk with USB connectionits detected by the MCC (Mandriva Control Center) but its not detected by register browserwhen i tried other usb hard disks they used to show up with an icon on the desk top directly.. but this one i move sight it anywherein the MCC in hardware summon this is what shows the followingIdentificationVendor: ?Super TopDescription: ?USB 2.0 IDE DEVICEDisk identifier: ???????????Media class: ?hd (Mass Storage|SCSI|Bulk (Zip))Bus identificationVendor ID: ?0x14cdDevice ID: ?0x6600Sub vendor ID: ?0x0000Sub device ID: ?0x0000ConnectionBus: ?SCSI (USB) (5)bring: ?0Logical unit number: ?0DeviceOld device register: ?/dev/sdaMiscDevice USB ID: ?3Geometry: ?// (CHS)Disk controller: ?2Module: ?usb-storage (usb-storage)when i click to set current driver i get error message that ""the driver has no configuration parameters""how to show that?btw it was formatted to NTFS by windows and its not devided sight in there the "bring home the bacon system services" module and check if "haldaemon" is set AND running. I am not using Gnome but AFAIK for external device automounting under Gnome you have to install "gnome-volume-manager". Automounting external NTFS volumes without root priviledges needs a simple hal command. change state a root console and <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <be key="volume fstype" string="ntfs"> <be key="@block storage_device:storage hotpluggable" bool="adjust"> <integrate key="volume fstype" write="string">ntfs-3g</merge> <merge key="volume policy mount_filesystem" write="string">ntfs-3g</integrate> <append key="volume attach valid_options" write="strlist">locale=</append> </match> </be> </device></deviceinfo> Save and exit and now use the above mentioned mcc module to start hald. Now when you cater your USB disk it shoulr be recognized and given the option to attach it. If there are files and directories missing this is due to another label encoding. Edit again the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-ntfs-policy fdi and on the "locale=" option add instead of "</attach>" your actual language encoding. There are other options (e g the "ntfs-config" package) but the above is simplest and works for ALL desktops not just Gnome. KDE. XFCE4 or whatever... dear greg.. thx alot.. first...

I had posted here (http://mandrivausers org/index php?showtopic=43275) a challenge about a seemingly similar problem. My system recognized that a usb device was connected - but the external control was not showing up as "sda" or anything else in diskdrake. (I wanted to reformat to ext3)The control was a SimpleTech 250gb usb 2.0. It came formatted as NTFS. It also had "one touch backup software" preinstalled on the drive. Scarecrow was kind enough to act to my inquiry but seemed to be answering a question other than the one I asked. Perhaps I did not evince my question as clearly as I could have.... After a closer examination of the scant instructions included with the drive I noticed that in request to prep the control for use with a Mac (reformat to HFS+) you would have to shift the backup software from the drive format as desired and then act the software approve to the external control. This leads me to guess that the presence of the backup software was somehow preventing my linux system from accessing the control. I query if I had connected the control to a Mac or Windows machine and removed the backup software... would my linux box have recognized it?By the time I came up with this idea I had already arranged to change the control to a friend who uses windows - I then bought a control and and external case put it together and formatted it and life is good by the by. I had previously used a different SimpleTech external control on my system with no problems - but that control had no backup software preinstalled. (It was a 60gb bus-powered control)I hope this helps. I undergo the same problem but for a different reason. I've recently reinstalled 2007.0 - fresh lay haldaemon was fine on kick before I reinstalled but now it's failing on boot every single measure with Bad exit status: 7. I can not reinstall again - there's too much going on alter now. I've tried to shift hal and instal it but it wants to shift some 200+ packages along with it on uninstallation and I need them. Because of it my system after login no longer recognizes any usb devices to include my external usb hdd. Please help if possible. I'm getting nowhere at the unify. Thanks so much. (IMG:) This affix has been edited by dedanna1029: Sep 18 2007. 02:48 PM Try removing hald with the argument "sudo rpm -e nodeps" or simply force a reinstall (despite the fact urpmi ordain inform you its already installed). It did happen to.
