maddude0025; nop, you can install vista then xp dbwillis; to install xp... i would somehow have to clear the partition where vista is installed now... and run the install... and install xp... too much thinking... just missing something.. a coworker tried running this software i want to run...

I've been trying to get xp installed on a second partition from a pre-existing vista installation. It's installed on an lenovo X61s with no cd/dvd-rom drive. I do not have access to a cd/dvd drive via usb or docking bay, and want to get this working without if i can. I do have a usb floppy i...

It's a hardware raid too. Adaptec 39320A-R i beleive.. From what I understand.. theres 320Mbit for each channel.. if i had enough disks on the one channel to saturate that channel, then i should go to the second channel.

Hi hi everbody, I have a configuration of a dual channel SCSI card in my system now, because I thought I would need different channels for the seperate drives much like in IDE. I have been running on 4 9.1GB scsi disks for the past year, and now i'm going to be upgrading cuz 40gb is not...

Shipping to Canada? Oui Oui?

Though, I have in the past found that when a hard drive fills over 80% the speed seems to slow... slow access times, slower read times.. but i'm sure it's the fragmentation. There may be no direct correlation between space available on the drive and speed, but indirect, with other factors, yes.

I wouldn't bother. To read off tape drives, you have to spin up the device, and then stream it to a computer before you can begin to read the data. Backup libraries were created to do backups, not have regular consecutive reads for data access. That's what hard drives are for. Tape drives...

I would worry about burning my fingers on that purple laser! Forget about watching a movie!

Lest you guys forget, a DLT or LTO tape is about 4X the width of a DVD-RAM disk.. or DVD-R (in a datacenter environment they use cases for the disks). So for space issues, they store 4x the data. Big companies such as IBM are looking at the amount of data that can be stored per square...

That whole NTFS thing that somebody brought up earlier - would only be an issue if you didn't copy the data to another medium before you had formatted. If you were to keep your 30gb partition for windows and re-install *nix on it, you would be able to read NTFS partitions still, but write...

WHOA! It's in PORT PERRY!!! I don't know about that.... that's not toronto - still might go

THANK YOU FOR THIS ARTICLE Brent & Kyle We have had many articles about this gpu/vpu or that cpu and heard so much bs about DC systems. What I read confirmed what I have been thinking in my head for the past year. DC systems are there for multitasking, DC doesn't have much effect on current...

tHAT STUFF IS COOL!!! oops caps..

Thanks for the correction - I wasn't 100% sure if you could say put 15 drives on a 16 cable and not require a terminator. (Thought they said at my school you could :rolleyes: ) I'll be back.
