Can I scrub just a file, a folder, or the empty space on a hard drive?

Jiiva
Scrubbing parts of a disk is not as safe as scrubbing the entire drive. For example, many applications utilize temporary and backup files while they are running. If you scrub a file you were just working on, it is highly possible that the data still exists on your hard drive because of a temporary or backup file used by the software you were running. See our other product AutoScrubber for a solution to this problem.

After supplying a filename, you will see this screen. You can encrypt your hard drive messages or password protect them.

Why can't I specify the root of a hard drive as the Media folder?

MediaEngine Official FAQ - MP3Car.com
When we first started writing MediaEngine, you could do this, but we found that people were specifying C:\ as the media folder, and that was causing MediaEngine to search through EVERYTHING (windows, temporary internet files, etc) for media files. This would cause MediaEngine to slow to a crawl and become unusable. Thus, we force the user to choose a directory that is at least one sub directory down from the root of any drive to avoid this issue.

My hard drive crashed. Where can I download Telnet Magic?

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.

Should I partition my hard drive?

The Broadband Reports Windows XP FAQ - dslreports.com
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.

I created an image of the hard drive. It stops at about 4Gb. Why?

R-TT - FAQ
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.

Will a SCSI-2 hard drive work with an Apple 2 system?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
There is a major caveat to this answer. Some newer drives require a host which implements the arbitration phase of the SCSI communication dialogue. The RamFAST doesn't do this, and as a result there are some drives that cannot be used with a RamFAST SCSI card. A notable example is the Quantum Fireball series. However; the Trailblazer and all older Quantum models work fine.
