Yes, but only with Linux and homebrew software. PSBBN checks the firmware of the HDD and Sony customizes the firmware of their HDD units. Until someone manages to crack the firmware and make it so you can put the changes on your own hard drive, you need an official HDD unit from Sony to use with games. Here's proof that the Sony HDD is just a relabled Maxtor hard drive. I've scanned my hard drive right here.

Yes- if you have a v.12 or 13 PS2. HD Connect is an IDE connector soldered to your slim PS2's motherboard which allows you to connect an IDE HD and play games off the Hard Drive. To do so, you will need a DMS 4 Pro SE modchip. HD Combo is a similar product which also runs off the DMS 4 Pro SE. A premodded DMS 4 Pro SE with HD Combo sells for around $270. Using ToxicOS, you're able to load games off the HD, like you would with a fat PS2. The solder points for HDConnect have been removed on the v.

WinRescue will back up to an external harddrive as long as it is listed in Windows Explorer as a regular harddrive. WinRescue backs up files and not a harddrive image. So, the harddrive's boot information is not backed up. Making a Boot Disk in WinRescue (95/98/ME) will save the boot information on a diskette.

Ans: A standard 40-wire IDE cable WILL work with ATA-33, ATA-66, ATA-100 or ATA-133 drives but it will only allow 33MB/s performance. However, it is recommended that you use an Ultra ATA 80-wire/40-pin cable no matter what your drive rating for several reasons: wire/40-pin cables offer improved data reliability and signal integrity by adding 40 more ground wires than standard 40-wire/40-pin IDE cables.

Yes, but you have to reformat it with the NTSC U/C HDD Utility Disc if you want to actually use the HDD outside of games. PSBBN and programs that are bootable from the HDD are keyed to the system that installs them, so they won't boot on a foreign system. It is also good to note that only Japanese PS2s can install and run PSBBN. Asian PS2s, although still NTSC J for their region, will not boot the disc to let the program install, suggesting that there are subregions in the regional lockout.

No Officially, the word from Dell is "no", and further investigation reveals that the 400SC uses the ICH5 (82810EB) southbridge, as shown in this picture. The Intel data sheet confirms that RAID support is only available on the ICH5R (82810ER) chipsets. Additionally, the BIOS only shows the option to enable/disable SATA, no RAID configuration. Also, Intel's Application Accelerator is not supported by the 400SC's chipset. It has become a RAID only utility.

Yes. The Xbox has a built-in 8GB HDD that can be used for but not limited to storing game demos, ripped CD's, extra characters/maps/weapons in games. The hard drive is not be used as the installation destination of a game, like it is on the PC, rather it is used as a "scratch pad" to avoid DVD seek delays.

WARNING: While many users have used the above methods of transferring their registry data very successfully, it should be noted that editing or changing your Windows registry can cause your Windows operating system to stop working and users do so at their own risk. Care should be taken especially if you intend moving registry keys between different versions of Windows as directory structures and naming may change.

Just use your order number to re-register by going to help/register... If you do not know your order number send an email to support@modelworks.com with your name, email address, the name of the product and when and where you purchased it. If it was purchased by someone other than you, please provide details.

Yes, but only in Japan. The Midnight Blue model 50000 is still being made and sold in Japan, bundled with a BB Unit, due to how much HDD support is available there. The slim model 70000 is also being made there, and Japanese gamers have been informed to buy the Midnight Blue model if they want or need HDD support, as SCEI has no plans to make the slim model support the HDD.

ZIF drive cables and connectors are very fragile, so take extra care when working with ZIF equipment. Currently there are two types of ZIF drives, one manufactured by Toshiba, and the other by Hitachi. Each manufacturer used a different cable specification for their drive interface. To image a Toshiba drive, connect the Tableau TC20-3-2 ZIF cable to the adapter label face-up. Then connect the cable to the Toshiba drive, positioning the drive label face-down.

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.

No software of any sort can truly low-level format today's modern drives. The ability to low-level format hard drives was lost back in the early 1990's when disc surfaces began incorporating factory written "embedded servo data". If you have a very old drive that can truly be low-level reformatted, SpinRite v5.0 will do that for you (which all v6.0 owners are welcome to download and run anytime).

All of our cases will take either a standard 3.5" or notebook 2.5" hard drive. See the Case Matrix to determine which cases require a specific size HDD.

Yes, if the source disk is bootable on multiple machines, then it's DPSR drive is bootable on the same machines. Windows usually locks it's installation to the system it was originally installed on, so moving an installation to a different machine usually results in Windows not booting correctly. We believe this to be an excellent way to quickly and easily carry your "work" back and forth from the office to the home.

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.

Several reasons are linked to these messages. The main cause is the PVR-800 does not detect your HDD. Begin to check your disk, it must be positioned to master mode (see jumper on the back panel), no slave or CS modes. All jumper connexions are generally drawn on the disk. Check if the disk is well connected (power cable and IDE cable), the red line of IDE cable must be connected to pin #1 of the disk. Check if the tray is well plugged in the rack.

Each drive should have more than 600 Mbytes and HDD can be partitioned up to 20. (X drive). HDD should be set FAT32 mode when it's partitioned. Each drive should be more than 600 Mbytes to be set for FAT32.

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.

Except jMaki hands-on lab, which requires NetBeans IDE 5.5, you can use either NetBeans 5.0 or NetBeans 5.5 beta for most labs

For some reason the IO designers made the connector "swapped", so a spacial cable must be made that "swaps" pin 1,2 then pin 3,4 and so on. The cable must be very flexible to get a proper install without the chance of a short circuit. If a normal cable was used, it would have to be folded over several times to get to the drive and would cause too much "bow" in the case.

for an IDE, it's up to you, depending on the hardware/OS platform you choose to use. That said, we recommend you consider using eclipse as your IDE, even if you never have before. It makes programming in Java a billion times easier and more elegant! If nothing else, it compiles as you code, speeding up build-time and detecting syntax errors immediately.

Yes, you can use ShredIt for Mac OS X as a hard drive cleaner to erase the contents of a hard drive. We recommend that you do this to clean the drive before you dispose of a computer. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the ShredIt for Mac OS X Read me in the documentation folder that comes with ShredIt or download the ShredIt X Read me (pdf) now
