To make the boot code default to drive 1 look in /sys/{arch/}i386/bootboot.c for the following (or similar.

A : Each blade has an option of up to a 100GB bootable local disk. Blades can also (PXE) boot or network boot as well off of other blades.

This may be caused by the following: CMOS battery in computer has lost power. (a small battery inside which maintains the time and date, and BIOS settings) Solution: replace CMOS battery and re-enter Cylinders, Heads and Sectors in the BIOS Setup. Boot Record is corrupt. Solution: From a DOS prompt, run FDISK /MBR This will re-write the master boot record. Re-boot the PC to check operation

You can, but you'll void your warranty in the process. For details from someone who's done this, see David Moore's page about adding a HDD to your empeg. Contributed by Rob Leslie

We believe that it is better to have an audio drive that stores all audio material that is separate from the system drive.

The obvious answer is to use 'disklabel -w -r /dev/rwd1d'. Unfortunately, this does not always put a real disklabel on the drive. The symptom is that the drive labels and can be used until the system is reset, at which point the system tries to read the label from the disk. It was never actually written to the disk, so the operation fails. There are also reports that the /usr/mdec files are corrupted in some of the distributions.

Linspire automatically detects hardware and peripherals each time the system boots so additional hardware, like an additional hard drive, can be added at any time. Due to the complexities and interactions of hardware, firmware, and software, not all hardware configurations will be compatible with one another under Linspire. Configuring and testing a machine of the specific configuration is highly recommended. For more information view the Linspire document FAQ # 365. No.

First, Your PC or notebook must support "External USB-HDD Boot up" function. Second, to make sure all the USB cables and power cord all firmly connect to USB slots or power in-lets. No. You must start re-boot process over again. At this moment, you must choose the correct date version you want.

In the left panel, click the external FireWIre drive and select "Partition" in menu on the right. Choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and name the drive. Click "Options" at the bottom of the window. If you have an Intel Mac, select "GUID" as the partition scheme. If you have a Power PC Mac, select â??Apple Partition Map." Click "Partition." It will ask to confirm, click "Partition" again and the partitioning process will begin.

Windows: By default, the preferences are stored in HKCU/Software/BitWise Chat/BitWise. Optionally, you may store the preferences in BitWise.ini in your home folder by pressing "Setup" prior to logging in and specifying you wish to store your preferences in that file rather than the registry. Detached mode allows you to use basic client features even when your computer cannot maintain communication with the BitWise server.

Both Netscape and Microsoft have measures in place that limit the number of cookies that will be saved on your hard drive at one time. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape conform to the RFC 2109 limitations on your total cookie count to 300 (this includes a limit of 20 cookies per individual domain). If you exceed this, the browser will discard your least-used cookies to make room for the new ones.

After a cookie is transmitted through an HTTP header, it is stored in the memory of your browser. This way the information is quickly and readily available without re-transmission. As we have seen, however, it is possible for the lifetime of a cookie to greatly exceed the amount of time the browser will be open. In such cases, the browser must have a way of saving the cookie when you are not browsing, or when your computer is shut off.

Check question number 6 about startup disks; most people need these because of hard disk problems. Apple provides an "erase disk" option on their main menu which will re-initialize some but not all hard drives. Apple also has a "disk test" utility to test formatted disks. There is also a popular control panel add on for "SCSI probe" which is helpful, check various Mac shareware sites for it.

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.

The most common reason for this problem is the absence of a bootable master boot record or active partition on the target disk. When using the Copy a specific drive method to copy one drive to another, Casper Tech Edition does not replace the master boot record or change the active partition status on the target disk. In order to ensure the target disk contains a valid master boot record and the appropriate partition is marked active, it is necessary to use the Copy an entire hard disk method.

I have a VMware virtual machine that's using a flat disk image. I'd love to convert it to a QEMU flat image.

You can boot a decent System 5.0.4 or very modest System 6.0.1 from a 3.5" diskette. With two 3.5" drives, you can boot a decent System 6.0.1; but, disk swapping becomes a significant hassle when you want to run most A much better solution is available if you have a 4MB mem expansion card installed. (Actually, you can make do with about 2.5MB of RAM.) You can use a utility named "Flash Boot" by Jerry Kindall. Flash Boot auto-loads System from one or more 3.

Most external drives you purchase are formatted for PCs. If you are only going to use it with your Mac then you should reformat the drive by using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If you are gong to use it with your Mac and a PC then use "MS-DOS file system" format. To format or reformat a drive you will have to erase it. So before you erase the drive, copy your files to another drive.

Nevermind, I was looking all over the bottom of the thing unscrewing covers to try and find the extra hard-drive slot... never realizing it's just the media/floppy drive... sweet.

Yes, you can add a second drive after the purchase. Please make sure to configure the second drive as a slave and make the jumper settings by following the manufacturers recommendations. Once you have installed the second drive, follow the steps below: On the Computer Management windows, select Disk Management in the left pane. In the right pane, you will see the original Disk 0 with 2 partitions, Bootable and Storage with the new disk Disk 1 which is unallocated.

Yes you can. WebCCTV NVR ships standard with either an 80 GB or 160GB HDD. An additional 160GB HDD can be ordered at the time of purchase.

No, when you copy the same memory card a second time, a new unique folder will be created for the second copy. For example, the first copy will save files in folder name 'CF00001', and the second copy will save files in folder name 'CF00002' etc.

Early Beige G3 machines (those with a "Rev 1" motherboard with an ATI RageII+ chip) do not support slave IDE drives. To use a second hard drive with this machine, you would have to attach it to the internal or external SCSI connector, use install a PCI IDE card. Later G3 machines do not have this limitation. See http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3-ZONE/IDE/index.html for more information. I have a revision A or B iMac.

If you still have your license code, you can download Telnet Magic from the web site. The license code is release dependent for the first two digits of the version level. For example, a license code for release 2.2.0 will work for releases 2.2.0-2.2.9 but it will not work with release 2.3.0, so you need to download the correct release. If you were running the current release, download and install the evaluation version from our Telnet Magic Evaluation Download page and enter your license code.

It is best to have your OS on a separate partition than the rest of your data. This results in less fragmentation and ensures speedy operation of your system. If your hard drive is large enough, then partitioning is probably a good idea for you. Common practice is to have at least three partitions: one ~8GB for the OS, one ~10GB for Documents and other personal files, and whatever is left for programs.

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.

You have likely created the image on the FAT32 file system which has a 4Gb file size limitation. Therefore larger files can not be created there. If this is the case, we would suggest that you either use NTFS (through network or attaching the drive to a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 box if you are running Windows 9x/ME) or split your drive into regions each less than 4Gb, create their images and make virtual volume set afterwards if you need to recover files from there.

That depends entirely upon "how crashed" the drive is. But SpinRite is often credited with performing "true miracles" of data recovery. Please read some of the true-life SpinRite testimonials we have received to get a sense for what SpinRite has done and can probably do for you if you ever need it. It is obviously possible for a drive to be so totally dead that it is only useful as a door stop. But today's modern drives struggle to stay alive and to die slowly.
