Urgent: Need help with hardware
Hello, I have an important hard drive that may or may not be working, and two computers which I can't get to boot. I need to get this all resolved as it's affecting my ability to work. I'm happy to consider paid assistance at this point. The short version: I've got a drive that has my home directory plus a bunch of other data which I currently can't access because I can't get either of the two computers I've tried to put it in to see it, or even boot at this stage. My most urgent need is to get data which will allow me to write my invoices. Being blind and not able to see things like the BIOS screen is proving very frustrating right now, though I'm pretty sure that one of the boxes is now showing nothing on the screen when I try to boot it. I don't know whether this drive is having problems or if the problems lie with the computers. Long version: I have 3 drives and two computers here att issue. I'll give all these items labels in order to make it easier to understand. Drive A is a 2 GB (yes) Western Digital from 1998 that was up until 2 weeks ago my root device. Drive B is an 80 GB Western Digital that's about 3 or 4 years old and contains most of my data. Drive C is a 120 GB Western Digital drive which used to have a Windows XP installation and which I'm now attempting to use as my new root disk. Computer 1 is my former workstation, a 450 mHz machine with something like 256 MB RAM. Computer 2 is a machine that used to run Windows XP, and is a P4 3.0 gHz box with 1 GB RAM. Up until Monday two weeks ago, I was happil using computer 1 with drives A and B as my workstation. I use Debian in text-only mode so this machine was perfectly capable of fulfilling my needs. On Monday the 23rd, we had a scheduled power outage for maintenance, which left us without power for something like 5 hours. When power was restored, computer 1 would no longer boot. I had thought at the time that this might be because the BIOS battery was dead, though I also knew that Drive A was scheduled to give out at some point given its age. The computer place I took the machine to wasn't very helpful in saying what they did to get it to boot, but they did say that the battery had not been the problem (though they did replace it anyway). When I got it back, I found the computer trying to boot from drive A and not succeeding very well due to read errors (it couldn't cleanly load in applications, etc), and unable to see drive B at all. I decided that now would be a good time for an upgrade, so I decided to take Drive C out of a former Windows box (computer 2) which we'd retired last year due to its tendancy to have trouble booting, something I really should probably have investigated thoroughly at the time. After a bit of fun and games, I managed to get the Debian Lenny NetInst CD to boot and see Drive C and install the system. However, it still did not see Drive B. Having done this, however, I was then unable to boot the installed system from drive C, and I found out through some sighted assistance that the BIOS would not detect either drive, even though the Debian installer could see drive C. Deciding that this might be a case of the BIOS not being able to cope with such large drives, I put the two drives into computer 2 which was where drive C had originally come from. This computer also contains an 80 GB SATA drive which it would be nice to use at some point, but it's not important right now. I was able to boot Computer 2 a number of times, and it successfully ran the Debian installation on Drive C. It still would not detect drive B however, which is what \I really need to access in the short term. I thought perhaps that some BIOS settings might mean that the computer was not able to see drive B, so I tried putting it onto the controller where the optical drives were being detected (remember I'm not able to see the BIOS screen so can't just go in and try to find it there). At this point, the machine stopped booting, and no amount of moving things around or reverting to previously known good configurations seems to make it want to boot. As mentioned above, it looks to my poor eyesight that the screen is blank now. This may be a reoccurance of the previous booting problems this computer used to have, or it may be that I've messed something up in there. Drive A is formatted with EXT2. Drive B is either EXT2 or EXT3, can't remember. Drive C is EXT3 now. My goals in order are: 1. Determine if Drive B is functional or not. If it is functional, get off it data I need for everyday work, if not then have the data on it recovered somehow and transferred to another drive. 2. Copy data off drive A. This is less important as it's mostly operating system stuff, and I admit that I might not get completely clean reads, but it would be nice to have as there is some old Email there I'd like to keep if possible. 3. Determine the status of computer 2. Try to

Linux Workstation ADSL Networking Problems at Bezeqint
Hi all!
Recently I've been having some networking problems on my Linux workstation. My
Linux workstation, as well as my family's Windows XP machines are connected to
the Internet using an Ethernet+wireless NAT/Router ( AirLink 101) that's
connected to our Bezeq ADSL (WOW) ECI B-Focus Router 270. Our ISP is Bezeq
International. My Linux machine runs Mandriva Linux Cooker, and is connected
to the router using the following Ethernet card:
{{{
Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100
}}}
Until recently, everything was nice and dandy, but starting from a few weeks
ago (about two months I think) Firefox started to report something like The
connection was interrupted why loading the page. Press the button to try
again. and the button then proceeds to load the page. Furthermore, urpmi (the
Mandriva networked package installer) sometimes reports that it cannot find
packages on mirror.isoc.org.il, only to find them later upon a retry.
Another possible hint is that using svn checkout on http-based svn.berlios.de
URLs such as http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fc-solve/trunk/ has been
taking a lot of time on the WinXP machine (also connected via Ethernet), while
using the https:// URLs was OK.
I've also had a case of wget -c restarting a file transfer from the beginning
because it could not continue it from where it ended on a halted transfer.
I recall trying to restart the modem and the router after the situation became
very bad, and it seemed to have made things better for a day or so. But now
the problems with Firefox and urpmi are happening again.
I have bought a static IP from Bezeqint.
Does anyone have any idea?
Regards,
Shlomi Fish

Hi Hetz, It is probably using an execution in the background (server side) and a javascript (client side) to show the progress in the foreground.

Re: Israeli ISP blocking outgoing SMTP
Hi, Requiring ISPs to tell customers what they are blocking and why sounds as a good idea to me. I am a customer of the same ISP for long time, and they are blocking every application I use! * I don't have secure IRC access for some months now (while regular IRC connections work, but I prefer to authenticate securely). * I am unable to connect to Google Jabber server using a desktop clients for more than a year. * They are limiting my access to CVS/SVN/Mercurial servers. While small transfers work, I have to use workarounds when I have to transfer more than few kilobytes. When you call their support services they say the problem is not on thier side. Too strange that I can access these servers from another ISPs while the problem is not their. Tomer.

I personally think it's stupid and goes against everything the Internet is about, but strangely enough I wasn't consulted when that decision was made. These are also the guys that think blacklists are a good idea. But as far as it goes to making ISPs change their ways, it will most likely be the other way around - Israeli ISPs are just catching up to the unfortunate global standard.
