[H] DDO question
This seems "hardware" to me. (At least a "workaround" for hardware.) I have refused to use DDOs for the last 16 years so this is a legitimate question. IF a person is forced to use a DDO for their hard drive, can they boot to an Acronis bootable CD and restore an Image file from an older hard drive from the SAME physical hardware. As in: they want to "clone" to a bigger HD NOT supported by the BIOS from one that IS, -- in the same Laptop?) Sorry if this is a "buggy whip" question, but the person has no money... Rick Glazier

j., Well; I got it! I'm still laughing ATM :) (cuz the last 2 m/b's looked like "ho-flung-dung" MIGHT have been there!) No harm. No foul. It is what we have lived through. That is all. I do so know that I am no longer wired into I now again research the List. I suspected the "capacitor" issue would run for many years. It sure 'reads' like a true 'Think'.

Re: [H] HP/Compaq drive tatoo?
I boot these kind of ISO's using PXE, PXELinux & a TFTP server to get around any possible issue booting from CD. Do you get the same error if you disconnect the HDD data cable?

The customer ordered the vista recovery cd's since the recovery partition was shot. When I first put the discs in it worked great and was leading me thru the recovery process. However, the choice I made was not what I wanted so I backed out and it dropped me out to reboot. Since then I have not been able to get into the recovery discs, I am booting from them but it gives me a "non-system disk or disk error". The discs read fine from 2 other DVD drives and I have swapped out their compaq DVD drive with a another yet the problem continues. So, next step was to test the drive (new one) and sure enough it comes back with SMART errors in the read test. So I goto WD web site and DL their diagnostic iso and try to get the system to boot off of it. It gives me an error that it can't find some file on the CD - that is actually there. So I download a new copy and burn another - same thing. I replaced the DVD drive again and the problem continues. So... This is weird. One thing I tried was a XP disc, and I did a fixmbr, diskpart, and format (which took awhile) but all that worked fine. Yet, everything else... Ideas?

Re: [H] SSL certificates
Hrmm...interesting. She can access Gmail over SSL on another computer right? And also, to verify it's the computer and not her, can anyone access Gmail on that computer or is it broken for everyone there? Well, she *might* have clicked on a fake gmail ssl site and "installed" that cert and that's somehow making the real Gmail not work over SSL (isn't using SSL for Gmail just an option btw?). If that's the case then you can look for it and remove it; try going to (well if it's IE) Internet Options, Content, Certificates and looking at Trusted Publishers and select the fake/broken cert and remove it... Fyi the way SSL works, the site cert is presented as part of the SSL handshake when you go to the site, not usually locally stored on the computer (unless you install it when prompted, or manually install it for some reason), so this is the only way I can think of that the cert is not working; unless there's a certificate link issues (messed up intermediate cert), which I guess we could look into if this doesn't pan out...

I've got an odd situation where one computer on a network refuses to send email through Gmail (either through Thunderbird or OE.) The user says that she got a message about a certificate and click on something and it stopped working. I was wondering if there is a way for a certificate to get corrupted or deleted so that she can't access Gmail (since Gmail uses SSL.) I could be completely wrong, of course. T

Preview release 2.0? If that does not work, boot up a linux live cd (ubuntu, etc), find the hard drive, and run DD on it, fdisk -l should help you find the drive dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=100 should be enough.
