Well, thanks guys. I guess that is part of the answer - nobody uses it.

I was just wondering why anyone would use the cable select jumper setting on a PATA hard drive, A Google search finds that some people use this setting when they are frequently swapping drives. I can't help thinking that this is just a useless jumper setting, or am I missing something?

If your hard drive is formated with NTFS, this could be one of the "features" of NTFS. "The two most fabulous and welcome features of NTFS are, without a doubt, transaction logging & security. Transaction logging, among other things, offers a much needed degree of data recovery. As it stands now, our metadata friend known as $LOGFILE is written to every several seconds, hence monitoring recent changes to the directory structure and files. These transactional records are recorded as actions that either need to be undone or redone, pending a system failure. This kind of "roll-forward" and "roll-back" preservation serves to eliminate any loss of data in the event of the blue whammy screen of pain (you know, just in case). "

Don't forget the BSR x10 The BSR X10 Powerhouse connects to a computer with an RS232 interface. It can store up to 128 events; each event can turn on, turn off, or dim up to sixteen slave units. The X10 box has a battery backed up clock which the computer can read. Each slave unit has a one-letter housecode ranging from A to P (for 16 different codes) and a number from 1 to 16. x10's http://www.x10.com/activehomepro/activehome-pro.html "Open the pod bay doors Hal"

I believe that that board has AWARD BIOS, there beep codes are: AWARD BIOS BEEP CODES Below are Award BIOS Beep codes that can occur. However, because of the wide variety of different computer manufacturers with this BIOS, the beep codes may vary. Beep Code Description 1 long, 2 short Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. Video (Mono/CGA Display Circuitry) issue. Any other beep(s) RAM problem. Try reseating your video card. Hope this helps!

How do these people survive? ONE Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets TWO I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened. THREE A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy." FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk." FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copy machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies. SIX I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich. SEVEN My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?" EIGHT Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed. I do believe this was also done by the NYPD. NINE A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency! Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."

I’ve used the HP USB disk storage format tool on a Sandisk 256M flash drive. If you format it as FAT or FAT32 Windows will still recognize the drive, and yes You will still be able to use the free space. As long as Windows recognizes the disk format ( FAT, FAT32 ) (or NTFS for winXP) it will appear as just another hard drive with a bootable OS (Linux). Do not format it to NTFS for Linux. Win XP reads and writes to all three file systems while Win9x and Linux only read and write to FAT and FAT32

Hi guys, I just came across an interesting problem and I was wondering if any of you might know what could be wrong. In win98SE when I go to the boot menu and choose logged boot the system boots up normaly but no file bootlog.txt is generated. Any sugestions would be appriciated. Thanks.

I also wanted to point out *This offer is available in the U.S. only . I just highlighted that part wrong. But it would be interesting to find out exactly how many Microsoft is giving away.
