Yes, I can boot off the older Data Traveller 2GB.

I found a Kingston Data Traveller 2.0 2GB. It works and shows up in the list of connected hard disks. I doubt that the size is the key issue here because I previously used a hard disk in an enclosure to boot Windows and special programs with this computer at work. I suspect the difference might be that the new USB stick is USB 3.0 (which it doesn't need to be) and the old is not. I did update the BIOS before I changed the CPU. Booting previously worked with stock BIOS. Those numbers 6.00PG don't change with updating. Pentium 4 computers always have 6.00 and Pentium II have 4.50 or 4.51.

The motherboard is GA-965G-DS3. In the F12 boot menu it shows the same categories that can be selected in setup: Floppy, Hard Disk, USB-HDD, CDROM. It does not list specific disks. Choosing USB-HDD from the boot menu still doesn't work. The USB stick is 16GB. I will have to find another that is smaller later. The BIOS looks like this, except missing are the USB-HDD0:... entries in that menu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29qV5xXh09A Normally I don't mind waiting extra 20s on boot, but when troubleshooting I need to go through the Intel AHCI screen again and again. Disks also lose staggered spinup, because they get powered on immeidately on the Energy Star screen.

What do I need to do to boot from a USB drive on Award BIOS v6.00PG? The computer is from around 2007. I've little experience with booting from USB. In boot device options I have USB-ZIP, USB-FDD, USB-HDD. Tried Legacy USB Storage Detect: Enabled; tried disabling AHCI and Native mode. The USB stick does not appear in the list of Hard Disk Boot Priority, as I've seen on other instructions. Only SCSI HDD are there and an item called Bootable Add-in Cards (tried that). I made the Kingston Data Traveller 111 with Universal USB Installer and SARDU. It contains one FAT32 partition, syslinux and GRLDR. Perhaps this is too complex, but ultimately I need this to be useful instead of something like a DOS diskette. The system didn't show any signs of reading from the USB. PS. The Intel AHCI BIOS has an annoying massive delay while it waits for hard disks to become ready.

I see it in View->Settings. By default they are sized to logarithmic scale. The partition is completely invisible to the Disk Manager. I feel like it's a waste. It would be cool if that space could be loaded with DOS utilities, which can't access any other NTFS disk, but it seems to serve no purpose at all. Is 4TB "small" already?

I had two ST 250 GB PATA drives fail after a few years, with either weak heads or debris inside. They are only slightly older model than the 320 G. Clearly anecdotal experience with one doesn't apply to the other. New drives since 2012 or so have a built in function to park their heads after a short period of idle time. This normally only happens when power is removed. The drive might accumulate tens of thosuands of head parking cycles during normal use (S.m.a.r.t C1). This could be disabled by changing the advanced power management (APM) value using a procedure that applies a DCO and inadvertently also saves the APM value. On the most recent models this doesn't work. One must use Seagate OpenSeaChest utility (requires NT 6.1 or making Linux boot disk). I am still puzzled by he hours counter. Would be good to hear if anyone has it at greater than 66,000.

Some of the GT 710 and GT 730 are Kepler cores. These are the ones people had troubles with in old computers. You can see they have a greater number of cuda units than the older GF. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gt-710.c3027 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gt-730.c1988 I initially wanted the cheapest upgrade but later changed my mind, and maybe side-stepped the problem by selecting Maxwell. I've changed the title.

This program worked. I enjoyed reading the extensive knowledge base on rodsbooks.com. In one section it mentioned not partitioning a disk as an option for large disks. Is it possible to have a filesystem on a disk in Windows without a partition table?

I have a 4TB disk and want to create one partition spanning the whole disk. If I go to Disk Management and do Initialize Disk, Convert to GUID Partition Table, Format, it also creates a hidden Microsoft Reserved Partition of 128 MB. I tried formatting the disk with BOOTICE. While the partition mounts and is visible in explorer intially, it is invisible to Disk Management, and doesn't work after a reboot. The disk is shown as uninitialized again. Is it possible to format this disk without the hidden partition? I previously formatted with BOOTICE just fine, but it is the first time I need to use the GUID format because the disk is too big. Server 2003.

Maybe because the disks have been running continuously with few power cycles.

What could have caused the power-on hours on both my ST2000VX000 and ST2000VN000 to either reset or roll over? They now show 1855 and 322 hours respectively. Since the values are not equal, it seems that the counters have overflowed. Could they really be limited to 16 bits? The worst percentage of the life reads 11, and current as 98/100, meaning the disks are almost new. I haven't made any low level tweaks to any HDD in the system. I don't think erasing SMART is even possible with normal software. 09 _98 _11 __0 00000000073F Power-On Hours 09 100 _11 __0 000000000142 Power-On Hours In the mean time, ST3320620AS have worked for 129,102 and 127,032 hours.

How is this version of Remote Desktop better compard to what Server 2003 already has?

I think that a FTP file server is the most universal tool compared to specialized cables or wireless transmitters. All devices today have a network interface. You can connect computers of vastly different generations. The application and driver talking over a USB cable or BlueTooth would require OS version from around when it was written, and you might end up with a situation where one is too old or the other is too young. As the server, I like to use FileZilla Server. For WinXP you need an old version around 0.9.23. Even older exists for Win98. The author seems obsessed with the latest technology and only supports new Windows with SSL encryption now. In germany everyone has a computer from space. You should avoid copying many small files with FTP.

The multi-processor mode should be added to about:preferences with a checkbox or slider for the number of processes. When I install the browser onto another computer, I would like to enable it without searching the Web for the variable names. Currently, configuring the browser is a very involved process. After some time, you forget the tweaks you're relying upon. Update to the latest Serpent in-place gone well, all settings retained. I've heard the opposite: that you needed a good computer to use multi-process, but it is actually very helpful with a "slow" CPU. I'll be damned top of the line Core Duo is now "slow". The case where multi-process can't help is when I want to click on a control on a page. For example, I want to stop a video playing, to load the rest of the page, and not rob resources from the process. The settings should have a human-readable checkbox for "automatically play media".

It seems to work. I see several processes of Basilisk running. Further testing is needed to determine if there are disadvantages. The browser may now stay below the memory limit, which is very good with 32-bit PAE. A responsive interface shouldn't necessarily require multiple processes though.

Wish you a recovery from the government facility. My New Moon 28 is now about a year old. Has there been any significant new functionality added to the browser since then? Could it theoretically be possible to improve the responsiveness of the browser on full cpu load while a big site is loading? For example, process the close button and tab switching in a "separate thread," so that the offending site can be closed,

Nothing terrible will happen immediately. The last Chrome version will continue to work for a year or two. RoyTam will make a new/old Firefox to replace it. Watching commercial videos in a stuttering web browser and paying hard-earned € for it isn't a good idea in any case. I'd rather install Win10 LTSB than an "extended kernel" if it is anything like BWC or OneCore with dozens of system files.

Sorry four the double post. I added 16 gigs of RAM to my other computer for a 20 in total. It works well without an E-MU/Creative Sound Card. Maybe components that come on motherboards are better tested because they may get installed in a "server" environment. I have nVidia, Realtek NIC, Realtek sound, Intel Ahci. Even a crash of CPU-Z doesn't happen anymore. None of task managers, etc. crash, Daemon Tools works, Yamaha SYXG works. This ram is really difficult to fill up intentionally. All programs restore up, including games, no complaints from the OS at 19 GB used. No swap file.

The ordinal in this case is a missing function of program code. You can see them in Dependency Walker. It has nothing to do with icons. I would either use WinSeven as it is if you like the revamped UI of Explorer, or another file manager of choice that works on any OS.

Having played around with a 5GB Gavotte ramdisk for over about a year, I don't think it is a substitute for more RAM. It is not all that fast according to copy benchmarks. If I put a swap file on it, Windows likes to swap big programs out to it every time they are minimized. So I need to reserve 2x the ram for them. If I also put a temp directory on this disk, sometimes there is a deadlock condition where the computer pauses for a few seconds waiting on the ram disk. There aren't that many programs worth using that have compatibility issues with Server specifically. I've only encountered Photoshop CS3, which could be fixed. How would you go about fixing PAE "per driver"? That requires intimate knowledge of machine code, right, and ability to locate it inside giant drivers?

NexusFont seems to be able to load fonts where older programs like FontLister do not. A new version of Windows keeps surprising even after you've dealt with the immediately obvious like the appearance of the start menu etc. Do you know why the Group By selector in Charmap is empty? It should show ranges like scripts and punctuation symbols. Adobe fonts show all the empty positions, and it is sometimes necessary to jump to where the required characters are. I tried running the program from NT5, but it uses something from the system and is also empty. https://i.imgur.com/936twS6.png

You can look at HxD. It has made some efforts in Unicode support and has a built-in converter in the Data Inspector. Type in the WideChar / 16 box to get normal Unicode, or in the UTF-8 box for web/linux Unicode. Why did Microsoft decide to translate days of the week and months into local languages out everything else?

How come it is no longer possible to temporarily load fonts by opening them in the built-in FontView viewer on Windows NT6.1 64-bit? Doing that on Windows XP used to make them available for all applications, and they were unloaded after FontView closed if no other programs were still using them. This was handy for decorative fonts for a single project. But under Win2008 R2 the font viewer is different. Moreover, I had to reboot the computer to enable a newly installed font in all applications. It would show up in Character Map's grid, but not the textbox.

Nvidia GTX 750 Ti (Maxwell GM107) is confirmed working without any issues. It also works under Win2003, but at a cost of some non-PAE memory, which has been reduced to 2.75 GB. The speed is crazy, but not inexhaustible by XP-era games. Despite two fans, it is quet and cooler than GT 610 it replaced. I got it almost new for €50. GT 730s are going for more money. It seems that the BIOS issue affects mainly brandname Dell/HP computers. What I have is late Pentium 4 period motherboard. https://forums.evga.com/GT-740-upgrade-can39t-get-past-BIOS-splash-screen-m2565968.aspx

Games usually want the lowest CD drive letter than you can a change in Disk Management. Maybe you can exchange the 2 CD drives Master/Slave jumpers. The original Yamaha audio driver had mixer faders for all the inputs on the card (video in, aux in, cd in) and it doesn't matter which one to use. Maybe the XP driver was more limited, I don't remember. The simpler option under XP for games is to install Daemon Tools 3.47, enable analogue audio (internal playback) and mount a cue sheet with ripped wav files and a dummy data track 1.
