    Cloning SCSI Drive Using Norton Ghost

    I'm using a copy of Norton Ghost 7.50 and I'm uncertain if it will properly clone a SCSI drive on a server I have. The server system looks like this normally: SCSI drive chain: ID0 (18GB HDD as C:), ID6 (TAPE) IDE drive chain: Primary (CDROM), Secondary (40GB HDD as D:) I've used the...

    Software RAID on WinXPPro

    Thanks for all of the advice. That mirror folder software is located here: http://www.techsoftpl.com/backup/index.htm It's $39. My Rosewill RAID card arrived yesterday. I'll be able to try both (since I can RAID-up another computer at home, while I'm at it).

    Software RAID on WinXPPro

    Anyhoo, I went and purchased a Rosewill RAID 0/1/0+1 card from NewEgg. Total cost almost 18 bucks.

    Software RAID on WinXPPro

    I'm tired of making backups or relying on relatively small network shares. I'm ready to move onward to a RAID system for my critical files. I do know RAID is not a substitute for backups, which is why I'm curious about the survivability of a failure of the RAID card. If a RAID card doing...

    Software RAID on WinXPPro

    Will RAID1 (mirroring) be recoverable when the card dies? I'm pretty sure that some forms of RAID (particularly RAID5) are problems when there's a hardware problem.

    Software RAID on WinXPPro

    I was investigating getting a computer (Celeron, 512MB, XP Pro SP2) running with dual 7.5GB IDE HDDs, using a software RAID1 (simple "mirror") as I used to do all the time in my WinNT 3.51/4.0 days. The HDDs are on the same IDE cable as master/slave. Well, I got to the point where the disks...

    Crashed Hard Drive - Any hope for self recovery?

    If the drive spins, it's likely unsticking methods won't help. So twirling it or putting it into the fridge are acts of last resort with little anticipation of success. The next thing to try would be exactly what you did try: put into another working NT-based system in order to attempt...

    Homepage setting script doesn't work

    I made the change ... <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript"> <!-- to counter autoreset of homepage this.setHomePage('file://U:\homepage.html'); //--> </SCRIPT> ... but it still doesn't work. I also put it into a link ... <a class="chlnk" style="cursor:hand" HREF...

    Homepage setting script doesn't work

    I'm trying to counter my corporate network trying to keep my homepage set upon their Intranet. I made this script: <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="javascript"> <!-- to counter autoreset of homepage this.setHomePage('U:\homepage.html'); //--> </SCRIPT> ... but it doesn't...

    when is dead really dead?

    Our data is precious; in comparison hardware is expendable. We can be brutal with recovery methods. 1. Face facts: a hard disk that gives you even the tiniest hardware problem is a "dead hard disk". The only thing we need to do with one of these is recover data and then trash it. 2. If the...

    NTFS Recovery Tactics

    Well, ZAR32 hung at 18% of step 1 (of 4). In contrast, the log claims it stopped processing at about 47 hours. I downloaded GetDataBack and will try it. Thanks.

    NTFS Recovery Tactics

    I work in a bank, and losing data even once-in-a-blue-moon is not acceptable. Tantalizingly, our Windows XP machines fail in a range of recoverable ways. Today, I have a machine with a 20GB IDE HDD that has 2 partitions: 0 is FAT32 (1GB, for holding the source files for drivers, etc.), and 1...

    Positive Restriction of Internet Browsing

    I tried Content Advisor (since I have no access to the company proxy). I note that is seems easy to use and seems secure from unauthorized changes. However, I note that despite adding this site (we'll use "thebank" in this example): www.thebank.com ... still didn't catch all accessing of...

    Positive Restriction of Internet Browsing

    The PC Magazine article talks about tricking MSIE's proxy feature to setup a block on all websites except a few you want to allow. The trick is to setup MSIE to use a proxy, but not to specify one. This won't work for my application since I want the inverse situation (allow all websites except...

    Positive Restriction of Internet Browsing

    I need a way to stop all the common users on an XP Pro machine from accessing certain sites on the Internet. The problem starts that these machines are used in a common work environment that allows people to walk away and let another user walk up to the machine and use it (to control...

    WinXP Pro SP1 / Apache 2.0.50 / PHP 4.3.8

    Apache's error.log shows sequences of notices very much like this: Parent: Child process exited successfully. Parent: Created child process 3844 Child 3844: Child process is running Child 3844: Acquired the start mutex. Child 3844: Starting 250 worker threads. Parent: Received shutdown signal...

    WinXP Pro SP1 / Apache 2.0.50 / PHP 4.3.8

    I can then only conclude that these httpd.conf lines: LoadModule php5_module c:\windows\system32\php5apache2.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php ... are correct for PHP 5. But PHP 4 and 5 still don't respond to <? or <?php calls. How do I find out in Apache if the calls are actually...

    WinXP Pro SP1 / Apache 2.0.50 / PHP 4.3.8

    There is no ClearModuleList in my httpd.conf. I also checked in httpd.default.conf; again, no ClearModuleList. According to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_so.html, this command can be issued to clear all the loaded modules, and then you can load fresh from AddModule and LoadModule. The...

    WinXP Pro SP1 / Apache 2.0.50 / PHP 4.3.8

    The AddModule command was rejected by Apache. Once removed, Apache loads without a problem. The PHP install.txt mentioned that that might occur with Apache 2, hence this seems OK. I always stopped Apache before making httpd.conf changes, then restarted it afterwards.

    WinXP Pro SP1 / Apache 2.0.50 / PHP 4.3.8

    I can't get PHP to respond to <? or <?php commands on this system. The Windows is stable and on a corp intranet. I thought I'd try an internal webpage with scripting capabilities for distributing support files. I didn't want to go back into that pile of blistering hell known as IIS and ASP...
