The answer is already there: urie gave it.

2TB drive are not really 2TB in size because, for hard drive makers, 1TB is 1 000 000 000 000 instead of 1 099 511 627 776. So unless you buy 3TB hard drive or use raid you won't get any problem.

Explanation there.

You might try this and see if it solve your problem. Did you tried with another browser ?

Never heard of a harmful size of partition and i also don't see how there might be one.

You might try using autoruns.

If you own a Western digital drive, you can you Acronis True image for free. Don't forget to create the bootable media rescue CD after install. That the easiest way. If not, then i would use partimage ( with systemrescueCD ) but you can choose another one from here.

Okay then you're ready for a DIY nas. Then you should find which spare motherboard you can use: - you need 1GB of memory. - a pci express x4 or a pci slot. - Integrated graphics would be ok. If you want to move an enclosure, you should be extra careful or go with raid. With the drives you own, you can still do raid 50 (you'll get a good speed) and your array will be 7TB (raw and only 6.5TB under an OS). Then you need to find a light and small case that can support your spare motherboard. As for the raid card, you should find a 8 ports controller ; this way you'll be able to expand the array when you need it. I already pointed out in my previous post the controller i consider as one the best out there.

A malware might be exploiting this vulnerability or a new one.

There are many ways to see what you're asking: - Do you want one backup as your installation is clean ? - Or do you want regular backups to go back to the last one when you get a problem ? - Do you want to backup from windows or offline (using a boot CD) ? - Do you want to restore from a CD or a bootable usb drive or by booting another partition ?

@ CoffeFiend, it is a great find and is the best option for the money there. An example of great enclosure : http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1752/qnap_ts_509_pro_turbo_5_drive_nas_server/index.html. As you can see it's a nas, so it will also allow you do more things than you really need actually but the length limit will be about 100 meter instead of 2 meter. Also it will be more suitable if you have more than one computer that need to access it. Of course a DIY nas would be almost pretty much as expensive but you could improve some feature here and there (increasing total number of drives, improving performance...). One the best raid controller out there cost about 450$ new but 300$ for a used one. In raid 0 with this controller you can get 300MB/s easily with at least 4 recent drives. Then back to our subject, from what i read about the port multiplier it should work with silicon image card so it should work but you MB only have one pci express > x4, the second is limited to x4. That's the catch with those MB. But to choose correctly, you should look at the problem differently: - Why are you removing those drives from pc case ? - How much do you want to spend ? - Why a JBOD array ? - How many computers must access the data stored on the array ? - what is size of the drives (array of more 2TB are supported by the controller but if you want partitions of more than 2TB, you'll need GPT partitions and NTFS for win 7)? - Do you have an old computer that might be used as DIY NAS ? - Do your computers will need to access data stored on the array the same time ? - Are you willing to spend time to make a DIY NAS ? Sorry i should have asked those before.

No most of the enclosure doing raid come with more but there are also entry level enclosure that are only what you said. But perhaps that's too expensive. The port multiplier is using only one sata channel to transfert data from the array so it limited to 3Gb/s for all the drives where a real raid controller would use 5 channels for the same array and the total available bandwidth would be 5x3Gb/s. The real world speed you'll get without a real raid controller is most likely only 30MB/s at most where a raid controller would be a lot faster about 90MB/s with recent drives. Yes but usb3 bandwidth is 4.8Gb/s so it's faster than sata. Also using usb would provide more flexibility but wouldn't allow jbod array (unless doing it with the OS). Also remember that using jbod (software or hardware) is really dangerous for the data as there are no fault tolerance.

I would not do such thing as the port multiplier will divide the sata bandwith by 5 and you'll get speed like usb2 or less. As for compatibility, i can't tell but adding a raid capable controller behind another isn't a good idea with end user parts. Also e-sata is only sata with a allowed max length longer (2m max). Here's what i would do: - buy sas/sata controller with the right number of ports. The best would be a sas controller with two external connectors of you course if you still have a free pci express x8 (Lsi and Promise provide some). - or buy an enclosure (but you ruled that out). - or buy an usb 3 hub ( but you ruled that out too) and an usb 3 controller. And then connect each drive to the usb3 hub using a sata to usb 3 connectors. The last one might be really complex and prone to problems. Anyway the setup you're trying will be complex and will be prone to errors and loss of data and that's why i would buy an enclosure as it is their job and you might expect that they did a decent one and you can decide on a good one after reading some review.

Glad you got it working with a third party tool. As for set-acl (the Microsoft one) is a powershell command included in Windows 7.

Subinacl or set-acl might solve this problem.

I don't think it is possible without a runonce key to set the reg setting or modifying hivesys.inf.

Some generics pointers: - Try printing those pdf directly to printer either with an usb connection or a network printer queue on your computer (that one only if you use a print server) with a crossover network cable. - Look at the size of the spooled document in the queue (some small pdf of a few KB can became GB when spooled). - Check if another Postscript or PCL driver solve this issue. - Some printers come with an embedded web interface allowing to print an uploaded document. You could try also this if available.

You could have searched the forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/147417-simple-question-isolinux-windows-7/, this topic might answer exactly your problem.

You should try with the excellent systemrescueCD which contains support for almost all third party controllers and gparted.

Or you might get the batch from http://xdot.tk/updates.html and replace "-ENU" with "-FRA" in it.

Anyway, it seem it is only a warning and you already got an answer on the fedora forum. If you still want to dig in this issue, report this acpi problem to Toshiba so they can fix this issue in the bios (see there for the real cause).

Yes of course unless you disabled it. Nothing need to be activated. The last access setting might not be accurate on some system and environment. Directory listing shouldn't and i don't know for shmedia.dll.

If it doesn't beep at all, you should try removing everything and the cpu and remove all psu cables then remove the mainboard from the case then remove the psu from the case. Then you need to a find a desk or anything that won't conduct electricity to work on. Remove power cable from psu or turn it off if it has a built in switch. Check the mainboard with your eyes and nose to find there is something burnt. If not, then connect the psu to the mainboard with the atx 2.0 psu connector. Then connect the 4 pin power connector. Now plug the power cable on the psu or turn its switch on. Then try to power on the mainboard using a screwdriver to short the 2 pins of the power switch (see picture). It most likely won't do anything. Then power off the psu and remove its connectors to the mainboard. Wait 10 min. Then seat the cpu in the motherboard with its cooler but don't connect the fan to the mainboard. Then connect the psu to the mainboard as done previously. Power on the psu and try to power on the mainboard as explained previously (be sure to not let it powered on for more than 3 min as without fan, you could harm the cpu even if it's supposed to automaticaly shutdown when overheating). If it beeps, you can try seating the memory using the same steps and repeat the same steps for each new component you're connecting. If it doesn't beep, then power off the psu, then find a 3/5cm of electric wire and short the green and black as explained previously (be sure to block the wire at the back of the atx connector as shown in the second picture and check it with a tester). Then power on the psu and the mainboard might start. If the mainboard beeps, then you might be able to get it back working but not for long time (you'll need to replace it).

Your reg entries have the wrong value type but are the cause of the problem. You should either remove the NoTrayItemsDisplay value or recreate it with right type (Dword and not binary) and set it to 0 if you want the Tray Items to be displayed.

You should try the command find.exe from the unix tool. find.exe c:\windows -atime +365 -mtime +365 for example will list all files in c:\windows with access date and modified date older than 365 days.
