    Does RAID 1 use any special formatting on X SATA/RAID controller?

    I’m planning on setting up two 2*1TB RAID 1 arrays, but I want to make sure I can take any of the drives out and read it from any other computer’s SATA port (or a SATA to USB cable). I was googling and read some forum posts suggesting different controllers might use special...

    New TrueCrypt v5.0 with full windows system encryption!

    Good point BBA. It would be a good idea then to keep the system files seperate from personal files. So you unlock your system partition before loading the OS with this new feature, then when you're logged in you can unlock/mount your other partition with personal files. Hopefully I get...

    New TrueCrypt v5.0 with full windows system encryption!

    Can it go into standby/sleepmode? Hibernation is different right? It will be useless for my laptop if I can't use standby/sleep.

    New TrueCrypt v5.0 with full windows system encryption!

    Cool! I've been waiting for this release. Hopefully I can try it soon. From the website: Wondering how it will work with multiple operating systems on different partitions. It uses its own bootloader to do preboot authentication. Anyone try it yet?

    network fails on notebook after a few minutes

    Notebook is a Twinhead Durabook D13R-Y Built in ethernet is Agere et-131x This problem is about a day old. I can get an ip from router and have access for a minute, then randomly it cuts out. If I reboot, it will work for a minute maybe, or it won't work at all, or it will be ok for 10 mins...

    anyone have random lockups like this? help

    I think the alarming ACPI temp must be like 30ish degrees too high. When I do a cold boot if it says something like 58 when the mobo should be colder than everything else at that point. The core temps should be just about the hottest thing at any point, so 86 degrees is pretty unrealistic when...

    anyone have random lockups like this? help

    those temps are high I agree, but you can't always trust sensor readings either keep in mind it is a laptop so hot temps are expected, and mine is barebones with good thermal paste instead of stock thermal pad so stock DURABOOK would normally run hotter I can pass the Blend test with only...

    anyone have random lockups like this? help

    More detail: 10 minutes of Small FFTs test went fine, ACPI temp went up to 86 Core temps maxed at 69 holy shit, this thing is going to catch on fire in the summer Ran Large, in-place FFTs for ~2min with no problems Blend lasts about 20 sec before I lockup, temps don't get nearly as...

    anyone have random lockups like this? help

    got a couple memtest passes done with no errors This is frustrating since I built this laptop to replace the last one I had that had a bad motherboard. Right now I just need something that works, but I'll have to see what kind of warranty I got seeing it's a barebones... Anyone got ideas...

    Please check out this picture I took of my screen: http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aV4lPXr I keep getting these lockups on my laptop where the screen goes like this. All along the right side are these weird artifacts. When I feel underneath the laptop, it doesn't feel so hot as if...

    Fresh setup, fragmenting problems (?)

    I zeroed out the drive then reformatted & installed XP. Ended up with 2 MFT fragments still. Maybe it can't be avoided? I haven't had much luck googling any of this. I might try Diskeeper and Perfectdisk as they suposedly do stuff to the MFT and/or pagefile. I also tried making a 2 GB...

    Fresh setup, fragmenting problems (?)

    So, when I defragment and it compacts all the data into a nice solid blue chunk, isn't that just going to cause more fragmenting? It moves all the data into that chunk, and thus has no room to grow like you say. Would it not be best if the degragmenter evenly spaced out all these files that...

    Fresh setup, fragmenting problems (?)

    Just setting up my new laptop with XP Pro (seagate momentus 120GB sata). I'm getting all these fragments on my C: drive as described below, but I have no idea what is normal/expected fragmenting behaviour. You can either tell me not to worry, or how to fix it ;) Partitions: 4GB C: Just...
