PS/2's are notorious for slow, low capacity hard drives. The Model 50's 20MB drive has 80ms access! The easiest way to go is to add a SCSI or ESDI card. SCSI in general offers better performance, the ability to add up to 7 peripherals and easy to find drives. ESDI offers more UNIX compatibility (though with new drivers this will change) and was stock on some PS/2's, most now use SCSI. If you have SCSI or ESDI already you can add at least one more drive no problem.

A#4.4: The best way to find out what programs are available for GNO, including version numbers, authors, and other information is to use the describe(1) database. The program, database, and maintenance utilities are available at the usual ftp sites. Soenke Behrens <sbehrens@bigfoot.com> also maintains an online describe database. This tends to be the most up-to-date version, and is available at http://www.arrowweb.com/sbehrens/describe.htm

Certainly. CTX notebooks have removable hard drives. If you have an older 486 model, you may want to obtain a newer BIOS version is order to take advantage of large capacity drives The DX4/100 CPU obtainable from CTX customer service. Most 486 EzBook models can be upgraded with a faster CPU, up to a 486/DX4100.

Yes, we can upgrade your system to a larger drive capacity and add a removable hard drive at an additional cost. Note: A removable hard drive is now a standard feature on all Hawk PCI models.

The hard drives we supply are carefully chosen to reduce heat (and noise) to a minimum. However, you may notice that your Sky+ unit's fan comes on more often due to the extra power supply load. The latest Sky+ firmware now puts the hard disk into standby when not in use, therefore keeping heat to a minimum.

Native DV takes up a lot of hard drive storage. Approximately 4.5 minutes of footage fits in a gigabyte (1 hr takes 13 GB). This is why all our systems come with a lot of hard disk space, e.g. our lowest-end system has 80 gigabytes or >6 hours of full resolution DV. Hard drive space is one of the first things people want to upgrade after purchasing their system. This is what lead to the 1 Beyond removable cartridge being standard.

Most current systems will experience no difficulty using a larger drive. Using a current operating system eases many compatibility concerns. Upgrading your system BIOS to the latest release is also a good idea. Contact your system manufacturer for details regarding a BIOS upgrade.

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.

The total space needed on the hard drive is a function of number of frames, number of events, video resolution(QCIF,CIF or FULL), and number of cameras involved. If I set for camera number one 100 Frames in CIF with interval of 1 sec and total number of events will be 100 then the calculation will be: 100x20x100=200,000KB= 200MB of space only for camera number one.

Run FDISK option 4 to display partition information. Make sure drive is at correct capacity and is showing 100% usage. If CMOS settings are correct but FDISK shows a capacity of 504MB or less (and drive is larger than 504MB), then you need to delete all existing partitions. After verifying that no partitions exist (FDISK option 4), exit from FDISK and at the A:\> prompt, run FDISK/MBR [Enter]. This will re-write the Master Boot Record.

Most hard disk producers compute disk mass this method: 1 MB = 1 million bytes. A 5 GB hard disk, as a result, is one that grips 5 billion bytes. Computers, as well as the Macintosh and iPod, gauge disk mass this method: 1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes. The disparity in these two computations is what causes the disk to come into view as 4.6 GB or 9.2 GB on a computer, but in fact be a 5-billion byte or 10-billion byte hard disk. For larger iPods multiply 4.6 by the real augment in mass e.g.

Yes - After the mod is installed you can install a larger hard drive. Take care though, that when you go on Live Microsoft stores the Xbox's serial number and HDD serial number. So if you go on Live again after switching the hard drive, they'll notice the difference and ban you good. Here's a guide on how to install a new HDD. It's pretty advanced though so make sure you can do it without fritzing your drive. Personally, I see no need for a larger hard drive since I just stream all my media.

Sun advertise the Sun Blade 100 in several supported configurations, and it does seem from their literature that the largest hard drive configuration supported is 2 x 15GB. You can use a drive of any capacity supported by OpenBoot though. I've replaced the 15GB Seagate drive with a 40GB Western Digital, for instance (the Seagate is quite slow and noisy). I had no problems at all doing this, either from the software or the hardware.

We're not announcing any larger hard drives today. That said, Xbox 360 is built for the future and can evolve to expand into new multimedia entertainment scenarios. With all of the great downloadable content that will be available on Xbox Live, we want to leave room for the gamers to ultimately decide.

Computer Doctor: It may be necessary, but first you should make sure that you have used the correct information for setting the jumpers. Many drive makers supply two sets of instructions: one set of jumper settings is used for systems whose BIOSes can use the drive's full capacity, and a second set of settings that may be referred to as "spare" or "alternate" or "reduced capacity". These settings reduce the reported size of the drive to 2.

Hard drive manufacturers market drives in terms of decimal (base 10) capacity. In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, and one Gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. Programs such as FDISK, system BIOS, and Windows use the binary (base 2) numbering system. In the binary numbering system, one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes, and one gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. Simply put, decimal and binary translates to the same amount of storage capacity.

A. As part of the recycling process, RMD can destroy any data remaining on your hard drives and render it unrecoverable. This relieves you of any potential liability regarding disclosure of the private information of your employees and customers.

First you should try a PHP cache engine such as eAccelerator or APC. It will save the parsed PHP scripts and enhance performance a lot (this is something you should use anyway on any PHP installation with non-trivial traffic). Zend Platform also contains a bytecode cache, however its "dynamic content caching" is not supported in MediaWiki at the current time. Memcached will provide some performance benefit, especially for heavily viewed sites.

The hard disk drive is 80 GB in size. Depending on whether you are recording analog or digital programming, you can record and store between 30 and 50 hours. All the DVR recordings are encrypted and cannot be digitally copied or viewed in another device. However, the DVR recordings can be played back and copied to a VCR tape if the VCR is connected to the RF cable Output.

The recording capacity depends on the video format that is being recorded. Your Dual Tuner PVR can record up to 90 hours of standard definition programming or up to 20 hours of high-definition programming. The hard drive capacity is 120GB.

The recording capacity depends on the video format that is being recorded. Your DVR can record up to 90 minutes of standard definition programming or up to 20 hours of high-definition programming. See “Managing Your Personal Video Library” section in this manual for more information.

You will need to apply Service Pack 1 or greater to enable XP to see hard drives larger than 137 gig. You may also need to flash your BIOS to get support for large hard drives.

RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) systems are faster and more durable than single large hard disk drives. A RAID system stripes or mirrors your data across multiple hard disk drives. Therefore, when you access your data, all the disks are working at the same time, giving a major increase in speed. The RAID hardware controller also contains a large memory cache which dramatically increases performance.

Defragment your file system on a periodic basis (every 1-2 months would be fine for most people) or anytime you make significant file changes on your hard drive. Defragmenting rearranges the data on your hard drive to make it more efficient.

Yes, you can copy the entire CD-ROM to your hard drive, and this will significantly improve the speed of operation. Copy all folders from the entire CD-ROM to your hard drive. Be sure and place the DATA directory from the CD-ROM into the root directory of the hard drive you are using. When first running the software, be sure and click on the correct drive letter to indicate the location of your drive.

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.
