I tried googling it....but I only got results for the newer Norton utilities. The ones I mentioned are from the early 80's...they were DOS utilities. Thanks for your interest.

I am in the process of converting all my old archived files from floppies to a CD-ROM with an intermediate stop at the Hard Drive. For this conversion process, I'm using an old Athlon 700Mhz with Windows 98 SE installed. Everything worked fine, except for about 8 of the more than 300 floppies I...

Thanks, Linney. Actually I had already visited the links you mentioned. I had also tried the Autoplay Repair Wizard and it deals only with volumes that Device Manager can see, and unfortunately, the CAM is not a "volume" per se. It is indeed a puzzle. Thanks a lot for your input. Armando

Actually I am inclined to believe that it might be a registry error somewhere. The reason I think that it that the set up has worked properly for months and was working as expected until I turned the camera OFF. At this moment, I heard the "bipping" sound indicating that the device was...

Yes, I tried it in another PC (it works) and another cable at the same PC (it does not work). Note that the same camera at the same PC was working just half an hour ago. As a matter of fact, this set up has worked for months. Thanks, Armando

I had already done that article to no avail. Thanks

At my wits end. I have often used a Sony Digital Camera connected to a Firewire port in my Sony Vaio. It has always worked flawlessly until yesterday afternoon. I had just finished transferring two tapes to the PC and turned the camera off. Half an hour later, turned the camera back on to...

Thanks, tallboy755. A couple of reasons: (1) More technical stuff to pay attention to and more than I care to learn at this stage of my life (2) WIndows is a pretty precarious system. Any thing out of the ordinary can though things out of quilt...lot of headaches to fu=igure out what happened...

Thanks...I'll certainly keep it in a humidity-controlled closet and connect it to the computer onece in awhile. Thanks again, Armando

That is scary, smthles....thanks for the warning. By the way, what is "ICs"? Armando

Thanks rvnguy. Can anybody tell me about LaCie drives reliability and MTBF? Their 500gb drives are probably the cheapest around. Thanks Armando

Thanks Tallboy755.... I visited the promise site and it seems to me that their racks are mostly RAID. Do you know whether they have non-Raid racks? What model do you use? Thanks again Armando

May be because the plugs you mentioned differ between Sata, Pata, Ultra ATA, and all the alphabet soup? Thanks again, rvnguy Armando

Thank you all for your help. Already visited the directron site: it seems that the rack is for HJDD speeds up to 4500RPM...I'll check further if they have another rack for higher speeds as well. Thanks a lot rvnguy. pmonett >>> I read the article you refer to, however, I'm unsure if I can use...

PROBLEM: Scanned thousands of slides and hundreds of video tapes. Therefore require lots of disk storage and more importantly RELIABLE storage. SOLUTION: Thought of purchasing a couple of 500 GB external drives (or even TB drives). Thought of having an enclosure, or something of the sort, that...
