  1. When you press F6 and it looks at the floppy drive, what controllers appear in the list?
  2. The standard key is Shift+F10. Your window of opportunity is after the summary screen before the PC reads the MBR. And that is if you have an onboard NIC. PCI NICs do not always let you configure them without a boot disk with a program on it.
  3. Try to force VGA mode. The display may have been set to a settings above what the monitor can display and was accepted.
  4. I am getting my webserver back tomorrow after being without one for almost 2 months now. I am going to go for a total site redesign but I don't feel up to coding my own CMS. I am looking for recommendations. I have used Xoops and Mambo in the past and I really like how they work and look. Are these good pre-packaged CMS to use or is there better ones? I am only looking for the ability to have a wiki, a meta gallery, support PHP and MySQL. Integration with IPB would be a plus. Basically I need a CMS to provide me the account management. I've written one in the past but I remember it being difficult and annoying. I don't feel like writing one again. So what do you think?
  5. Oh all the little problems we seem to have with our servers. I haven't gotten to post about this one yet tho... It has been reliable for the most part. OK... here goes. We use the server as a file server and to run GhostCast (Symantec Ghost 7.5). Friday, I go to capture an image to a specific folder (ie. d:\business\company1\mini) and Ghost errors out. I delete the files and capture again and get the same error. Symantec says this error is returned when the server (host) runs out of disk space. I check the amount of available disk space. It is 216GB. I test by making a text file in that folder and it works fine. In my hastiness, I upload the image to our low-end WDS. Today, I need to ghost up the image again but it has to be with Ghost (multi-volume with hidden recovery partition) so I don't have a choice. I upload and Ghost errors out. On a guess, I upload to another path (ie. d:\images) and the upload completes. So it leaves me wondering. Here are the facts: 1. Ghost is reporting that there is no space on the hard drive. 2. Windows can report no space on the hard drive if it can't write to it. 3. Not being able to write to the drive may be caused by other things besides being full. 4. Drive is a RAID5. 5. 3Ware 3DM2 reports no errors or any sort 6. Images are at the most 2GB in spanned files (GHO and GHS) Possibly, it there any problems regarding the amount of files in any one folder? As an example, the D: has 8 folders. 5 folders for storing images. Business, School, standard, vista, other. 3 folders have other things like drivers, software and some windows update things that got on there somehow. But, the Business folder has 918GB of images in it. Is there any size limit for NTFS that may be making Windows balk at writing more data?
  6. It will be more reliable to use an unattended setup using RIS and not images. Images with XP should be per-hardware, although it is possible to make generic XP images, it can cause you problems.
  7. I had problems contacting their front line tech support before also. They only use generic responses. To get real info you need to be able to talk to their people in escalations department. Or ie, the people Sin Yee's boss talks to. I can't tell you how to get that type of contact information, but that's what you need to do. Any sort of complex problem isn't something those front line guys seem to know how to help with.
  8. Is it Boot Camp? Or if not, what is the name of this feature? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_(Software)
  9. You are right. They only seem to have a Chipset driver for XP x64... http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/forms/por...id=3394#results
  10. OK if you are using a batch file then, try remaking using a scripting program like AutoIT or KIXtart and specify the RunAs and use your credentials to install. Of course there does appear to be an underlying problem on that machine but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.
  11. I think that no one has responded because your question is confusing. I would imagine that the easiest way to run multiple operating systems on one machine is to use Virtual PC or VMWare or some other program like that. Is this what you mean?
  12. I already found one program that a customer of ours uses that I feel is completely useless without being able to use two cursors. This happens to be one of those DJ software programs where it looks like real sound equipment. I've worked as a Sound Engineer as a hobby, and I couldn't fathom the idea of only being able to use one hand to work with that stuff!
  13. Yes, the everyone group should have access to that folder. The default permissions should propogate to allow that group to read from that folder already. Typically, write access should also be allowed for owned objects. Here is how my folder is set up: Administrators and SYSTEM have Full Control Power Users has everything except Full Control, and Special: Change Permissions and Take Ownership. Everyone and Users have Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read
  14. Make sure you are using the 64bit Vista driver on your disk when you do the F6. Did you build the RAID already or are you wanting to do it afterwards? With RAID0, you only get 1 volume, and if the correct Mass Storage Driver is loaded, you will only see 1 drive, not two.
  15. You might need to reinstall your chipset drivers.
  16. Huh? I'm confused - what flaw? Just because software uses a network doesn't make it flawed, so I'm confused as to what flaw you speak of. I think he means when "a" flaw is found.
  17. My best friend from high school, his house was a really bad house and his parents were slobs. Comparatively, their house was very clean, at least they didn't leave garbage laying in huge piles all over the place.
  18. In Windows XP there is a JPG in Windows\Web called autumn.jpg. It is 800x600. Today I started making an Active Desktop wallpaper design (I will post it here once it is done) with that as the background but I encountered a problem. The user who the desktop is for is using 1024x768. Is there a true (upscaled) 1024x768 version of this image? I am not saying take the 800x600 and increase the size, because I want to be rid of the extra pixelation and artifacts that causes. I've exhausted my search of The Google and also checked DeviantArt but I can't find anything. Thanks.
  19. Are you on a Windows domain? I am thinking perhaps you need to add the local admin account into the Group your account is located in.
  20. Well I'm not sure what its like nowadays, but I had used the carnivore on radius back in 2001 but it just recorded hex data for the most part. It wasn't very intuitive but we (an ISP i won't mention) could get logins (and MD5 hashed passwords) from accounts to everything like email, websites, IM and whole conversations or whatever else. Mostly we used it when we were bored and look for people who were downloading porn and laugh at the file names. Or am I not supposed to talk about that stuff...
  21. That's it??? I have access to a few hundred terabytes (maybe a few petabytes) across Canada. Ya I'm over a 5TB at work also but not any PB and none in Canada either.
  22. Forgot to update yesterday. We pulled out the Ghostserver, opened it up just to find out that it had a hot-swap SAS enclosure... So anyways the 3Ware firmware was saying that SATA 0 was a problem, so we pulled it. Take a look to see and it says Western Digital 400GB RAID Edition... Right well back into stock goes that 250GB and to hunt for the 400GB. It seems that the 400 isn't as popular as the 250 for some reason and we don't actively stock them anymore. I went into the back and found the LAST REMAINING ONE IN THE BUILDING! Well actually I did find a few more later but they were not usuable as they were up for sale on The Ebay. So we swapped out the holder and put the new drive in. Then we boot up the server and go into the 3Ware and... It doesn't see ANY drives... So right now the server is SOL until we can figure out how to make the 3Ware see at least one of the drives. The most challenging part was getting the server out from where it was sitting. I didn't really figure I'd ever have to move it EVER so I kinda wired up the KVM system around it... woops. And so it took 3 people to move the thing out of there, 2 to pick up the server and 1 to hold the KVM switch up...
  23. I use Windows Media Player and Winamp edit: I forgot I use Nero ShowTime Essentials and CyberLink PowerDVD also.
