Bootable volumes are supported on the 2-port PCI card (part number TSATA) but are not supported on any of the other SATA cards at this time.

It is highly unlikely that this will ever become possible, it would require changes to the Mac boot ROM to provide support for this, which would require Apple to make the necessary changes. There is a user-maintained database here, as part of the Yahoo group for DV Backup users. You will need to join the group to view it, but this is quick, easy and free, and without any commitment.

Yes, however, some other manufacturers' drivers may incorrectly assume a PCI-X Sonnet card is another SATA card; kernel panics may occur; the PCIe cards are not suspect to this problem.

Yes, both grub and lilo can boot Windows from an NTFS Volume. What actually happens, is that the Linux boot loader finds the NTFS boot loader and gives control to it.

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

Windows drivers are now available for the entire SATA family. Please visit the downloads section of our web site.

The maximum possible size of a TrueCrypt volume is 8589934592 GB. However, due to security reasons, the maximum allowed volume size is 1 PB (1,048,576 GB), as the amount of data that is considered secure to be encrypted using a single key depends, among other factors, on the block size of the encryption algorithm. In addition, you need to take into account other limiting factors.

Yes, when mounted, TrueCrypt volumes can be formatted as FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, or any other file system. TrueCrypt volumes behave as standard disk devices so you can right-click the device icon (for example in the 'Computer' or 'My Computer' list) and select 'Format'. The actual volume contents will be lost. However, the whole volume will remain encrypted.

Yes, the password change dialog works both for standard and hidden volumes. Just type the password for the hidden volume in the 'Current Password' field of the 'Volume Password Change' dialog. Remark: TrueCrypt first attempts to decrypt the standard volume header and if it fails, it attempts to decrypt the location within the volume where the hidden volume header may be stored (if there is a hidden volume within). In case it is successful, the password change applies to the hidden volume.

A shared boot volume enables multiple winBoot/i clients to optionally boot from a single HD image residing on an iSCSI target. Shared boot volumes are read-only. Write requests are cached to RAM on the local winBoot/i client, and the cache is flushed on shutdown / reboot. This serves as a way to maintain a pristine configuration that can withstand user changes, downloads or viruses.

Step 3 : Click on "Save changes and Exit". And if your SATA hard disk isn't for booting-up, system will automatically search for next boot-up device.

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.

The Serial ATA (SATA) interface represents a great advance in storage technology. The requirement for faster data throughput has evolved with applications like digital video creation, editing & production. Serial ATA is the evolution of the ATA hard drive interface from parallel architecture to serial. Advancements to the interface encompass greater speed, more efficient cabling and advanced features for integration into servers and networked storage environments.

These are all available from the Shortcut Key Menu which is activated when any of the keys 1 to 9 are pressed. The Shortcut Key Menu displays the current settings and shows the keys needed to increase/decrease the appropriate setting.

Yes, both grub and lilo can boot Windows from an NTFS Volume. What actually happens, is that the Linux boot loader finds the NTFS boot loader and gives control to it.

Yes. Make sure you have a version of lilo more recent than v18, and put the following line into your /etc/lilo.defines before compiling it: -DXL_SECS=44 This enables Lilo to boot from disks with up to 44 sectors (i.e. more than you'll ever see :-) ) It allows to boot from ED disks and from disks with more sectors than usual (up to 21 on a HD disk, 42 on an ED disk). However, 2m and Xdf disks cannot be booted using this method.

If DBAN does not detect a SATA controller running in native mode, then run the controller setup program and enable the "legacy PATA support" option. (ie: "Push <F2> to enter setup" when the computer starts.) SATA drivers for new computers will be added to DBAN as they are published for Linux. Drivers for Microsoft Windows are incompatible with DBAN and cannot be added to DBAN.

SATA can be made backwards compatible with PATA, but it requires a bridge chip to do so. Small converter boards are sold, they cost $15 - $46 each. OWC has a couple that they've apparently tested and found to work well in the G5, newegg has a bunch more.

In our experience the best Sata Card is any with a VIA 6421 Chipset. Very cheap to buy - you shouldn't pay more than $15-$20.

Probably yes, but the boot rom-o-matic site does not support any PCMCIA cards. We still have to write a guide or a script to support this. Suggestions Welcome.

Tempo is the speed at which the exercise is to be performed within a rep or set. The actual speed of each rep defined as slow, controlled or explosive.

Yes, with both MacOS 9 and MacOS X bootable volumes. It will be necessary to run DV Backup as root to do this to enable access to restricted system files.

One technique that may allow greater loading of the extraction column is to leave the column fully loaded with water after the column pre-treatment step (instead of forcing the water completely through the column). Using this approach, it may be possible to load a sample volume up to as much as 50% of the column volume. However, in no case should the total mass of products and unreacted starting materials (not counting the sample solvent) exceed 25% of the column sorbent mass.

Yes, but it depends on the operating system (Mac OS or Windows) used. Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe (PCI Express) cards only support drive hot swapping when used in Mac computers running Mac OS. SATA drive hot swapping is not supported in a desktop or server PC running Windows XP, Server 2003 or Vista. A SATA drive appears to the system as a not-removable hard drive and there is no mechanism in Windows to prepare the drive for removal.

Boot is any property received by the taxpayer in the exchange which is not like-kind to the relinquished property. Boot is characterized as either "cash" boot or "mortgage" boot. Realized Gain is recognized to the extent of net boot received.

Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) is a disk drive implementation that integrates the controller on the disk drive itself. Initial interface to ATA was a parallel interface called Parallel ATA or PATA. Serial ATA or SATA is an evolution of the PATA and is a serial link -- a single cable with a minimum of four wires creates a point-to-point connection between devices. Transfer rates for Serial ATA begin at 150MBps. Future rates have been planned for up to 600MBps.
