To prevent loss of important files, data, photos, and video, make file back-ups using Windows XP and your CD/RW on a regular basis. This represents the most cost-effective insurance you can get to prevent loss of data. Contact the Geek Squad at Best Buy for assistance. Sometimes lost data can be recovered. Go to a local Best Buy store, or visit Bestbuy.com, choose a hardware recovery software package, and run the application.N-900328

You must delete files from your disk or hard drive if you have either of these two conditions AND you have already notified me and I have advised you to delete files: If you are storing your work on a floppy disk and you are getting warnings that the disk is becoming full, it is time to delete some files from your data disk. If your work has become corrupt on the Instructor Management Web site because of export and upload errors, you must delete ALL your files.

Each person who has logged into the computer will have his or her files and settings stored in a folder named with his or her user name. Only the person who is logged in (or an Administrator) can access his or her personal folder. To find these user folders: The My Documents folder is located within this user folder (Note: The My Documents icon on your desktop is a shortcut to this folder). Files that were saved to the desktop are located in the Desktop folder.

Most of the video that JHSPH OCW provides is in a Real Video format delivered through streaming servers. Our goal in providing video in this format (that is, in multiple bit rates) is to enable users with a variety of Internet connections to sample JHSPH OCW video offerings with a common browser plug-in without having to download large media files. Users with slow connections, however, will not enjoy a quality video experience.

Although Kaleidescape uses high quality hard disk drives, drives do fail occasionally. On average, drives in Kaleidescape Systems fail at a rate of one or two percent per year. To prevent loss of information from a drive failure, every Kaleidescape Server uses RAID-K to store redundant information. The 3U Server also features a Hot Spare Disk Cartridge as an additional measure of data protection.

When a hard disk drive fails in a Kaleidescape System, you will still be able to enjoy all the Movies and Music in your library, but the System will not be able to import CDs or DVDs. Your Kaleidescape System will also be vulnerable to losing data from a second disk drive failure, until the first failed disk drive has been replaced and the data on it rebuilt. If you suspect that a disk drive has failed, then always call Kaleidescape Technical Support first.

No, RADIUS was designed for individual PC use and certain configuration files will not work if the program is stored anywhere but the C: drive.

Kaleidescape recommends that all Disk Cartridges should be left in the Server until the replacement Disk Cartridge has arrived. Please do not remove a Disk Cartridge unless instructed to do so by Kaleidescape Technical Support. The Server chassis will cool properly only when all its slots are filled with a Disk Cartridge (blank or containing a hard disk drive).

This question does not make sense. You would use an ftp program to move files between various systems on the Internet. How do you access gopher from your home PC? We were told not to use a web browser so I was wonder whether to use hyperterminal in Windows 95 as a modem and type an address such as telnet gopher.umuc.edu.

If you are storing your work on a floppy disk and you are getting warnings that the disk is becoming full, it is time to delete some files from your data disk. Click File, Delete Files. In the Delete Files window, you will see the names and sizes of your files. Click the Delete Language Arts and Skillbuilding Files check box to delete all language arts and skillbuilding files, which are stored within the *.DRP files.

No. Some of these files are required for normal operation and the others are nice to have on the disk for future installs on other computers and troubleshooting. These files don't take up much space on the drive, so there is no advantage in deleting them.

Unfortunately we cannot be responsible for what happens to your files once you have downloaded them. We strongly encourage you to make a backup of your Concert Vault purchases after you have downloaded them.

These notes are particular to laptops; the issue of file recover or transfer is otherwise covered in a number of FAQ questions in section 2.0, so read the adjacent responses. First, determine whether your drive is SCSI, or ATA (or IDE, same thing). A SCSI laptop hard drive has 50 pins, or possibly 54 pins (four for power); an IDE laptop hard drive has 40 or more likely 44 pins. IF the drive is IDE, you can't connect it as a SCSI drive and vice versa. Apple does not support external IDE drives.

To get the best result, choose Create Image File command from Drive menu (or context menu) to copy the damaged data to another hard drive. You can create the Image of segments of the partition, Image of the whole partition, or even Image of the full hard drive. To adjust the number of attempts to read bad sectors, use I/O Tries in Drive Control properties. After the Image is created, you can open the Image using Open Image File command, and work with it as with original drive. (See also Q24)

Currently the Seagate and Western Digital drives are recommended. Be sure to check with us though as these change with manufacturing moves.

Go to your backup disks (you did have backups... right?) that you have kept of your files. If you have not kept backups of your files then you most likely have lost your work for good. Keep files on your Z: drive as well as a Zip disk and at home if you can. The more copies you have of the file the less likely it will be that you lose everything. Depending on the program you are using at the time, you may have disaster recovery files or backups that are created.

Apple has some software posted on their website. The Mac 512 is a great site for people trying to jump start their old Macs. If you do a search for "Apple II Software" on any of the major search engines, you should be able to find some info. I have no idea how to find old manuals. Please don't ask me.

After restoring your computer, go to the iFolder web site, download the iFolderClient, install the client and login to your iFolder. Your files will automatically download to your computer.

No, with eZconference others can only see the documents you insert into the meeting. (eZdesktop users may choose to allow others to see or control their computer remotely.) Error 450 indicates that the eZ software is unable to connect to our servers over the Internet, and therefore, you are unable to register or log in. There may be a "personal firewall application" on your computer that is not allowing eZ to access the Internet.

You can save to some locations (C:/temp, My Documents) on the hard drive. You cannot save to the desktop. However, once the computer reboots, everything is cleared from the hard drive! If the computer freezes while you are working, for instance, you could lose your work. We recommend using your student storage space and saving frequently on multiple storage devices to avoid losing your work.

Answer: NT can view a maximum partition size of 2 terabytes (or 2,199,023,255,552 bytes), however there are limitations that restrict you well below this number. FAT has internal limits of 4 GB due to the fact that it uses 16-bit fields to store file sizes, 2^16 is 65,536 with a cluster size of 64 KB gives us the 4 GB. HPFS uses 32-bit fields and can therefore handle greater sized disks, but the largest single file size is 4 GB.

Motion offers two hard drive capacities to meet two tiers of storage needs: A 60GB HDD for storage-hungry users or a 30GB HDD for users with less storage-intensive requirements. The latest 1.8” hard-disk drive format not only contributes to the light weight and smaller size of the LE1600, but also uses less power and greatly increases reliability by reducing the risk of shock-induced failures – addressing an important durability requirement for highly mobile users.

Each song you download will occupy about 1 MB of disk space per minute of music. Your disk space requirements depend on the number of songs you want to add to your music library and their duration. To find out how much disk space you have, double-click on My Computer on your desktop and then right-click on the hard disk drive where you will store your music, and view Properties.

Because index.dat files are hidden by default. However if you want to make the index.dat files visible, you can do that in Windows Explorer's folder options.

The oldest skyFIP files will automatically be deleted if the maximum hard disk capacity reserved for skyFIP has been exceeded.

Yes, provided that you own the Sound Ideas products that you want to transfer. If you are setting up a multi-user audio production environment, you need a license from Sound Ideas. Our Hard Disk Information Sheet has been designed to provide full details about this license. If you decide to sell your hard drive at a later date, however, ALL Sound Ideas audio files MUST be removed from the disc before you transfer ownership.

No. Computer hard drives and duplicator hard drives are two separate file systems, so they cannot communicate. The USB and Firewire connections' allow the computer to use the duplicator as a CD or DVD external burner. You can use either of those devices to store the data on a disc from a specified CD or DVD drive on the duplicator. Once you create that disc, you can use it as your master disc to load into the hard drive and make your duplications. No.
