Don't ever wait for the next operating system because most companies won't know what the final product will look like and I have never bet on the day it will come out. After all operating systems are compromises and don't always end up in the driection they were headed.

A windows small business server sounds like the best thing for you. Windows server 2003 would probably work fine. The server would contain the main files you need and provide a platform to do remote connects and backups of your critical files. You could alos have a small mail server operating...

Some SATA drives have jumpers for setting the speed of the SATA may not be answer but worth a look see.

Raid 0,1, or 5, 10. If I am looking for reliablity use a older typically slower proven drive. If you are looking for speed the larger faster drive is the one you need. Tom's hardware has a great comparison of drive performances if you want to check out their ideas. Good Luck

Most new processors like cooling. Running any power CPU without the fan cycling will ruin the processor. Even though they have thermal failsafes in the unit doing without a fan will eventually damage the CPU. Try to manually set the hard drive parameters in the BIOS using the hard drive's...

Try Casper no pun intended. It run while the OS is functional. Then all you have to do is run sysprep after you move the drive to a new machine. It is kinda like going around the barn to get there but it does work! Good Luck

I don't think the board processor or hard drive are bad. Try this. Reset you CMOS, next when you start the unit go directly into the BIOS and manually set the hard drive to the proper setting. You may have to look up the hard drive's specifications to know what you want. I have ran into this...

The RAM answer is the right answer. Remember during the first install prior to picking the drive everything is loading into memory.

disconnect all power except to the motherboard and the processor power then reset the CMOS to see if yoyu get by the post and start looking for the hard drive

Reset the CMOS put the orginal memory stick back in. I have seen this before and for some reason the CMOS gets confused. I install new memory everyday and have seen this resolve the issue more then once

Your hard drive could be the problem but I sure would try some other things first. knowing the operating system would help but here are a few suggestions. Tey running a chech disk to see if it will be repairable. Next try to repair the Operating System using its repair facilities. Or try using...

Best to reinstall. But you might just buy a small hard disk drive and install on this new drive and use the old drive as a slave where you could then move some programs and data to where you want. I have tried to do the things you asked and have been successful however it took alot of time.

There are lots of good ram manufacturers. But since you are adding to a existing system I recommend the same ram as you have now. This allows you to use you have ram now with what you would buy. Open up your unit and make sure you have more slots available. If not then you need to inform the...

First check with your provider. Make sure they know you need a full time connection. Because they provide the equipment and the service they should be able to troubleshoot the problem. Second make sure your software doesn't have a time-out if there isn't any activity for both the local software...

To format drive go to My Computer, Right click on the usb drive, click on format, select size you want for each partition, I recommend ntfs but other formats are available, do quick format for new drive, and then start format. If you want other partitions, then format the unused portion. Drive...

Are you scanning images and how large of files are you working with. This information makes making a choice easier.

I have worked on both scsi and ide raids. Because SCSi has been around so long in the server enviornment I believe staying with a scsi hard drive is the best answer. There are many technical reasons but the best is longevity and reliablity when it comes to a long term stable server. The Sata...
