Hey there, I've been having this problem with my LSI MegaRAID controller for, well a few years now. If i have a power failure or the such that causes 1 of the member disks to drop out of the array, once the power/connection to this disk is restored no matter what I do (unlike other raid...

Hey there, Trying to list a folder of about 50 files... all with russian file names to a text file to help me on my way to translate/rename the files. Don't really wanna go thru them one by one.. I normally just do dir /b > x.txt but this is fail in this instance. Anyone know the quick way to do...

Hi, I'm probably barking up the wrong tree as google has not been the little friend as always it has been and we've come to somewhat of a disagreement on this subject. I've got a HP Z-800 workstation running with dual Xeon x5670 running on Intel-5520 chipset with 48GB of PC310600 ECC...

Looking for RAMdrive software that can handle a 30-35gb RAMdrive to install a VM on through VMWare Workstation 7.1. The host machine is running Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and is running on a dual hex-core / 48GB ram / Intel 5520 platform. Ideally I would use SuperSpeed RamDisk Plus Server but...

Looking to trade my Nvidia Quadro fx 4800 for a GeForce gtx 580. Card is as new (~1 month usage), clean, 100% stable, never OC'd, no packaging/books/software/accessories (CARD ONLY, but can include displayport->dvi adaptor). Other card models/payment considered. NOTE: Located in...

I've been trying to look into windows Shadow Copy, but after pages of MSDN and google I've come out with little more useful information than when I went in. What I'm trying to do is create a shaved backup of system volumes on my computer. I currently backup all the files contained on these...

i've got a configuration in mind that i would like to implement at home. i don't want to commit to something that'll chew up a lot of time without some advice first. at the moment i have 3 machines at home (win7x64) that i would like to be able to access remotely and non-intrusively (ie...

I'm looking for an external storage for a raid array that'll plug into sas/sata ports from an (already existing) internal controller on a PC. Looking for a device that powers itself preferably with a standard psu or if must be its own type of psu. Something that can take say between 8-16 drives...

i've been trying to find a ramdrive for win7x64. i tried quite a few over the past few days but they're just not working as i'd like. i think the whole concept has left the mind of computing. but i started using a computer with 48gb of ram and thought 'why not just have a heap of stuff loaded on...

i have my main pc running an 8800GTX which is connected to both my screens (in separate rooms) via hdmi... now as the 8800GTX doesn't have spdif passthrough i'm running it through the 'dvi' hdmi port on my samsung 46" lcd tv and running audio from one of the rear analogue jacks into the tv. in...

Loaded up Windows 7 x64 fine on this Intel Desktop Board "DQ45CB" motherboard just fine. Went into Windows for the first time loaded a few programs and rebooted, now everytime I try to boot in all I get is a blank screen. Ran the Windows 7 setup repair tool and it reports there is nothing wrong...

nevermind.. cant delete..

I was rebuilding my backup server when i plugged a drive into my main server to copy over data and inadvertently bumped out one of the power cables to one of the drives on the array.. the array stopped copying and now that i've reset my machine windows says that most of the folders are corrupt...

what are the fastest low profile pcie graphics card available (preferably with 512mb or more)? a few different models would be great as i have to hunt these down from local (australian) suppliers...also would prefer nvidia, but not essential.. any help much appreciated.. ;)

hey [H]... having some problems with my gentoo box. trying to get a gui rdc going from my vista machine to my gentoo box.. so i've got XRDP setup on gentoo linux and it accepts connections from my XP64 box using the built-in RDC which apparently uses protocol v4... but the gentoo box (xrdp) wont...

now i've just recovered some hardware from the depths of my drawers and come up with an 80GB(os) / 1.01TB(jbod) backup server... now i thought about using raid (i use raid5 and raid10 in my main rig) but i figured as this is already redundant data, it doesn't need any more redundancy.. and being...

Ok.. recently I ran into some absolutely frustrating crap... Vista Ultimate has no software RAID-5.... and my onboard RAID-5 only supports 2048GB arrays.... plus all my PCIe lanes are used for Video and Raid already... so... I'm considering switching to Windows Server 2008 I wanna know...

Ok, i'm so foolish, i bought 4x1tb drives to run in raid5 on my ICH8R.. but that has a 2TB limit so i go... ah thats ok... you can run raid5 on XP... im sure you can with vista... wrong... so now im left with the idea of either a raid10 (doesnt sit well having a 1.8tb volume for 4x1tb...

ive just come across 3x 40GB 10000rpm scsi Cheatah drives ST336607LW now is it worth shelling out for a controller for these drives (in terms of speed) or is it a waste and these drive hold no water? (the drives have never been spun btw)

i don't really know much about server ram, but i need to replace 2 sticks of ram from a dell server PC2-4200F-444-11B0 so its DDR2 533.. i assume ECC too... the pin structure is different, the notch is further to the side... just wondering before i order something useless... wil this Corsair...

would it make a difference if i got a 4-port PCIeX1 card over a simmilar spec PCIeX4 card when using as a fileserver over a Gb lan??? (rocketraid 2300 vs 2310)? 1 pcie lane is 250MB/s right? Gb lan is 125MB/s right? so would 4 lanes be any benefit and why?

i recently lost my D: to data corruption, and vista now no longer points to a folder... i however restored the volume from backup and reestablished the folder the Documents folder lead to "D:\Docs" instead of the default "C:\Users\Gaspah\Documents" but now i cannot access this folder by...

:mad: OK, the other day.. i went to do an online migration to add 2 drives to my areca 6x400GBxRaid5 array.... but whilst physically connecting the 2 new drives i accidentally pulled the power from 1 of the hard disks already part of the array.. after realising what i had done i quickly shut...

Ok, i've got a number of 1080P matroska x264/AAC files that my 8800GTX just slaughters... it st-st-st-st-stutters like a motherfucker... now i hear that this is because the 8800GTX doesnt have some part of the hardware h264 decoder... apparently its little brother 8600GT does have...

Ok, today.. like most days I'm building AMD machines.. just then I was building an Athlon X2 6000+, and I noticed something strange about the heatsinks, there is the copper base and copper heatpipes with aluminium fins... but i noticed with the copper areas around the joins there were silver...

so here's the little brother of the 780G chipset... considering using it in our ultra-budget home/office computers and whatnot... in replace of the GA-M61PME-S2 http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2775 any thoughts? is this board going to run...

I'm fixing my mums computer at the moment... and i'm having some odd trouble with the HDD.... whilst i cannot get it to show any reportable errors... here's the odd problem I am having... when i first boot the PC, the HDD read/write speed seems just fine... but after a few minutes the speed...

I have a Silverstone 750w psu that i retired from my main rig after only a few months because i got an ultra-cheap 750w corsair... the thing is should i use it in a drone rig i have... 3.0GHz p4, 4 hdd, dvd, onboard gfx... which already has a sufficient cheaper psu.. i know either way after...

I think it is in nvidia and ati's best interests to hammer in behind the scenes and secure games like GTA IV for their platform. I am beyond frustrated that us PC enthusiasts get treated like second class gamers. My PC has a graphics engine that absolutely shits over playstation3 and xbox360...

hi there, a while ago i asked about a case with at least 10 hdd bays... i was recommended to get a lian-li v2000+ so two months ago I ordered it, they said yes its coming yes its coming.. then today NO ITS NOT... i'm out for blood, they had my cash for 2 months now they dont even apologies and...

Just about to buy 4 x 1TB WD RE2 GP hdds.. with the intention of running a 3TB Raid5 volume.. (yes the 5400rpm ones) now last time i foolishly rushed in and bought 6xWD4000YS and then found i had to buy a new raid card (which was good cas i could add another 2 400GB drives after) you see i...

ok figured how to change the title. but now need to know how to delete it :p

hi there.. im about to set up a mini server using a GA-M61SME-S2 with raid1. now i already have a ghost image of an xp pro for this motherboard.. is there anyway to ghost over the data, boot up into windows load the necessary raid driver then create the mirror after the fact? (the image i have...

If you read the specs of my machine below you'll agree it's power consumption is nothing to be sneezed at.... the problem is... I'm running out of space AGAIN with less than 50GB free, i'm considering using up my sata plugs on my ICH8R in a 4x1TB raid 5.... when i get my new giant Lian Li V2000...

just wondering what would be equivalent to the X1950 in this gen of cards... I was thinking HD2600PRO or 3450.. i want something very close to equal power but not less.. but i'm really not familiar with ati cards.. the person whom im helping replace their card is an ATi fan, and so i only want...

whenever i load an explorer window... its constantly pulling 50-90% cpu usage (this is totally unnoticable except in Task Manager)... these are just regular explorer windows, no searches, no big folders e.g. "My Computer" folder... what is explorer doing with all my cpu cycles?? as soon as i...

Ok, so now that I've got 8GiB in here, at first i thought... this is a bit silly upgrading from Corsair 4x1GiB PC-6400 > Kingmax 4x2GiB PC-6400 (same timings)... I mean I upgraded because on of my 1GiB sticks went bust and they expect BOTH sticks when you RMA them, that added onto the fact this...

I'm about to replace my 4 x 1GiB Corsair PC2-6400 with 4 x 2GiB Kingmax PC2-6400.. because one of my corsair sticks died (and being a TWIN PACK they expect me to go down to 2GiB of ram for perhaps 2 months).. and im to much of an IN-PATIENT (mental ward) to wait for replacements... cas the...
