Re: [H] dead drive
I have on several occasions to just get the info off, put the drive in the freezer in a zip lock for a couple hours then put the drive back into the system and try starting it will it is still nice and cold, worked about seven times out of eight. Got the stuff off to another drive and then stacked it in the corner with the rest of the dead ones.

I had about 800GB of video on it, two thirds of the space were backups of my DVD collection and I still have the DVDs so it could of been a lot worse. I was running it in an external drive bay, pretty much 24/7 when it just disappeared. I have never lost a drive by just disappearing, two others I have lost in the past all died slowly with failed access warnings or just screwing things up but this just went silently. After trying restarts and reboots I put it in another USB2 external drive bay with no change, then I stuck it in a PC and the same problem. If the BIOS can't see it then I can't recover anything so I guess I'm done... unless somebody has another idea?

All, I am confused with what MS is doing with dot-net versions. I asked before, and installed it on my clients whether needed or not. Yes, I believe 1 or 2 of my clients need it due to their app-stacks. The collective was correct. A mostly painless addition. My new build client would not move dot-net forward from the initial [optional] v1.1 install. The client would fail and/or crash trying to install the v1.1 sp1 patch also. Odd. But, I suspect that MS wished me to be somewhere else. Humorous how this works when I allow WGA and WinUpdates ! Most confusing to me during this fal-der-al, this XP client was never granted visibility / access to the V2 compendium I have seen on my other XP clients. Odd. Problem is now solved. I deleted the original v1.1 install of dot-net on the client. This client freely accepted ONLY the V4 dot-net [optional] install KB. Every earlier version of dot-net offered failed. Ho-hum? Again, I suspect/accept MS direction. No matter any longer. The new rebuilt client is built, fully patched and using V4 dot-net. Now I can complete burn-in and future integration. Thank you all who shared suggestions, opinions, links, other. This dot-net thread is now dead. I will think about V4 updates to remaining clients. Later. Much later!! LOL!

I asked here and was convinced to just start using dot.net. I have seen no negative behavior since. I started at v1.1. I seem to be at v3.x sp1 now on my main office client. The newest version 4.x does not work with XP. Fine. No issue. I am completing a new build of XP on what has turned out to be a very challenging set of hdw. Years back I researched dot-net via MS KB's. I was lead to believe I DID NOT have to re-install all the previous versions of dot-net to come current; that all new versions contained all the necessary links and bits of the old version. OK.

RE: [H] SVCHost survey
This is in Brian Livingston's newsletter: Finally, a real 'svchost.exe' fix For those of you who've suffered from svchost.exe, which is used by Microsoft Update, going wild and taking 100% of your workstation's CPU resources, help is at hand. Redmond plans to offer up some long-awaited patches to updaters in the foreseeable future. But you can get the needed fixes to solve this problem and get your computer back now — without having to disable Microsoft Update and reverting back to Windows Update, or disabling Automatic Updates altogether. The fix is two-fold. Both of the following patches are needed to fix the issue: • Step 1: KB 927891. Download the fix from Knowledge Base article 927891 (this link is for Windows XP machines) and install it first. • Step 2: WSUS 3.0 client. Next, install the WSUS 3.0 client update. An MSDN article on this update is available in Microsoft's MSDN library. A link to the executable is contained near the very bottom of that article, or you can download the executable using this link. (There is no easy download page at Microsoft yet, because this fix has just come out.) You need this download to install the new Automatic Updates program, which is technically the new WSUS 3.0 client. Even though you may not be using Windows Software Update Services, this download provides you with the new engine that's used by workstations that run Microsoft Update. You may still see your system spike up to 100% CPU usage every now and then. But we should soon get from Microsoft the much needed, permanent fix to this very vexing issue, which many of us have been fighting for months. The promised patches will be deployed to all customers in the coming months, as discussed in the official WSUS blog. These are the links embedded: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E -8A89-404327772E5Adisplaylang=en MSDN article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387285.aspx Mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thane Sherrington Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 11:13 AM To: The Hardware List Subject: RE: [H] SVCHost survey At 12:22 PM 09/05/2007, Hayes Elkins wrote: That it is most likely wuauclt that is the culprit.

There is an area antenna and at his house there is a small antenna aimed at the community antenna. From the house antenna there is a network cable that runs to the network card on his desktop computer. He wants to network so he can use his laptop and another desktop in the house. I got him a Linksys router and a USB network card for his other desktop. Problem -- when I hook up the router and start in to setup, it hits a wall in the setup and says it doesn't recognize the modem. Now, I know routers are designed for cable/dsl modems and for high speed Internet connections. Has anybody tried or done a hookup like this? Since it is sending it the info by a network line and is plugged in to a network card, I assumed that the router would treat it as another high speed connection. Any pointers or ideas on this? We have a call in to the ISP that uses these to see if there are special instructions. The TOS doesn't limit you to the one system only, it allows for other hookups as long as they are in the same physical house. Going up there for New Years, and hoping to knock this out.

Mark MD Computers 602-421-0329 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Weeden Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 3:28 PM To: hwg Subject: [H] RAID 5 upgrade planning When I built my HTPC a year ago I used a MegaRAID controller and 5 250GB SATA drives. This gave me a RAID 5 array with about 1.1 TB usable. Things have been working quite well, except that I am down to my last 100GB of free space. I was doing some calculations trying to figure out how much storage I would need. I have 400 DVDs that I own. If I were to store each one as a Xvid file in addition to the ~5000 TV shows, music, photos, and ebooks I would need around 3TB of space. If I were to store them in vob form that number jumps to around 6.7 TB. Using 750GB drives, 6 in a RAID 5 gives about 4.5 TB total and 3.8 TB of usable space. Good enough for xvid, but not for vobs. Even if I waited for the 1TB drives in the spring I wouldn't be able to get enough space out of a 6-drive array (now that's scary). So I guess my only option for now (is to stick with the xvid solution. It works fine (AutoGK does a wonderful job) but every once in a while you get an xvid with offset audio and it's a pain to line it up properly. So with that figured out, next I need to figure out the best way to upgrade the RAID in terms of cost and time. It is my understanding that the size of each element in the array is only as big as the size of its smallest member. So if I start replacing the 250GB drives with 750GB ones, I should be able to do that without too much disruption to the array other than the time needed to rebuild it after I swap each drive. Then, once I have all 6 swapped out I should be able to increase the size of the array, correct? I don't really have the ability to backup the full 1TB of data on some other device which is what's causing the problem. The only thing I know of that can handle that much data is a tape drive and that is several hundred dollars I would like not to spend. Anything I've forgotten? -- Brian

Then if you later swap mobos or something windows tries to use the previous driver (or default) and can't access the drive.

I went into safe mode and created a test user with no password. Then went back into normal mode. When I clicked on the test user, it rebooted. In safe mode, I ran Ad Aware. It found some cookies and the Alexa toolbar. I removed them. I then ran Hijack This with nothing looking out of the ordinary.

I told him that after the scan, if it did not find anything, to open up the box and look at the caps. Assuming that the caps look good, I suggested that he remove one of the RAM sticks and retry. Then if it still rebooted, to switch the sticks. They have RR and the pcs are hard-wired to a router. While in safe mode, I'd have internet connectivity one minute, then none the next minute.

(AMD.N: Quote), the No. 2 supplier of computer processors, is close to a deal to buy graphics chip maker ATI Technologies Inc. (ATYT.O: Quote) (ATY.TO: Quote) for $5.5 billion, a source familiar with the situation said on Friday. Such a deal would shake up the processor industry, which is witnessing a tooth-and-nail fight for market share between AMD and larger rival Intel Corp. (INTC.O: Quote). AMD would gain one of two major graphics chips makers, the other being Nvidia Corp. (NVDA.O: Quote). Markham, Ontario-based ATI is also a big supplier of chipsets -- the cluster of secondary chips and interfaces that surround a computer's processor -- for AMD and Intel products. Unless talks break down, a deal could be announced as early as Monday, the source said. ATI and AMD both declined to comment.

But it won't install Windows. It boots up to the point where you would normally see the screen to go to Repair (via recovery console) or Enter to install Windows, and it turns itself off. If I use OPK, it goes through the initial OPK steps to install configuration set, then shows the first Windows screen where it tells you there are 25 minutes to go, and then reboots and shuts itself off within a few seconds (I couldn't see what it screen it shut down at.)
