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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Click-and-hold with the mouse over the image, you should get a pop-up menu with "Save Image As..." as an option. If your image appeared in a separate window, the program that opened it should have a save item in its menu. Simulator images should be renamed since they're automated output from a script.

Windows Media downloads can be saved for offline viewing. Click on Full Download links (for high speed connections).

Right click on the PDF link and select "Save Target As" from the menu options (if you have Internet Explorer) or "Save Link As" (if you have Netscape). You should next be prompted with a window asking where you want to save the file. Select the Desktop as the location you wish to save the file. Finally, click the Save button, and the file will start downloading to your computer. When finished, you should see an icon for the file on your desktop.

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.

No, see this thread, which mentions a workaround of installing a boot loader on whatever virtual disk image is mentioned as "-hda" on the command line. I have a VMware virtual machine that's using a flat disk image. I'd love to convert it to a QEMU flat image. I would expect that a flat disk image is a flat disk image, but when I try and boot the image under QEMU, I get Windows's screen saying it can't boot and asking if I want to try safe mode (which doesn't work, either).

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.

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).

No. GLC is hosting the lesson plans on our site so that teachers can work on them either at school or at home without worrying about converting them into different formats or taking them home on disk. You can work on the off-line template and then copy and paste the lesson into the lesson plan builder when you are ready.

You can setup a POP Client to pop emails to your local PC. Please make sure to configure the client to remove messages after ???X??? number of days, or when deleted or moved to Trash. This will assist in keeping the account under its allocated disk quota.

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.

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.

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 can temporarily save files to the workstation's desktop. These files can then be e-mailed to yourself. Files saved to the desktop will be deleted at the restart of the machine. If you are working with a library laptop, you can check out the zip drive for large files or ask for a laptop with CD burning capability. You will need to provide your own storage device: ie. floppy disk, CD, zip disk, or memory stick. CDs and floppy disks are available for purchase at the Circulation Desk for $1.

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)

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.

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

Sort of. DScaler now handles basic recording and playback of specifically-formatted AVI files using a compression codec of your choice. The end goal being a "time shifting" feature (i.e. pausing of live TV) and not a generic video file processor. In other words, it handles only the video files that it creates itself for this purpose. This is all currently under construction. DScaler isn't intended to be an all-in-one desktop video utility.
