    No good deed goes unpunished - Bootable Kaspersky Rescue disk

    My friend, who has a Compaq she barely knows how to use, asked me to do a scan of her Windows XP Home and install an anti-virus for her. I downloaded Kaspersky Rescue disk, dated 05/13/2011 and created a bootable disk from the ISO file. I successfully booted it up, and ran a scan against the C...

    Need help with table design/work flow

    okay, solution for #3 (in psuedo code) would be to add column VacantSeats to the tblTasking. VacantSeats is a calculated field where [no of seats - (select count(taskID) from table Assignment)] Thanks PH for the help! [noevil] Glen Braden

    Need help with table design/work flow

    OKAY, as I see it (after viewing the tutorial), I need to connect Member table to a new table (table assignment) where memberID is linked to taskID from the Tasking table. The seat table contains a seatID and other information (such as seat usage). The Task table is connected to the seat table...

    To cluster or not to cluster SQL 2008?

    How about VMware? Of course we are not going to use Hyper-V, but instead, create/colapse several servers on our 2008 server using VWware. Does anyone know of any gotchas? [noevil] Glen Braden

    Need help with table design/work flow

    Correction to the problem. A Member can have more than one TASK, The task can have more than one seat, but the member can only be assigned one seat from any giving task. [noevil] Glen Braden

    Need help with table design/work flow

    Hi all, I am not very good with creating databases and how they need to work to get what I need. I tend to over-do it and make things far more complicated. I don't need code, I need to get a picture in my head how to hook up several elements. Of course, this is needed yesterday, which I cannot...

    SMART failure on new drive

    Thanks for all your input. The new drive was okay when I hooked it into another computer. The old drive, when hooked into the second computer will cause a new hardware found, but I cannot get it recognized as a drive in any flavor (storage, slave, etc). I do wish I waited and ran bootable linux...

    SMART failure on new drive

    The drive is the same make, original being 38G IDE and the new being 250G eIDE. The hard drive is original and the PC was perchased in 1999. While it is silly not to get a new one (at today's prices), my wife who uses the machine for email and facebook, doesn't want me to spend the money on a...

    SMART failure on new drive

    I have an old Gateway, got the SMART failure, could not bypass the error so I replaced the hard drive, formatted the drive, reloaded the OS and apps, restarted computer and while loading a couple more drivers got the SMART failure again. What am I missing? Is it possible that something on the...

    Upgrade Express SP2 to SP3

    As I understand it from another DBA, that I cannot upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 to SP3 because the Express SP3 package is a complete database package and running it would only install/create a new instance. I also understand that moving the stuff from SP2 to the new SP3 is troublesome...

    Undocumented Extended Procedures

    Hi everyone, I spent the last two days going through a long list, looking about for descriptions of undocumented SP/XP procedures (USP). I managed to find rudamentry descriptions for about 85%. This is for a security plan required by my organization. If anyone uses any of the following USPs...

    running sp_updatestats and reindexing of tables

    Quick question. One of the DBA has a SQL Agent Job that runs on weekends that looks at indexes, and if there is 30% or more fragmentation, the indexes are dropped and recreated. On the other hand, as I explore the various issues we have with performance, I am seeing articles that indicate...

    Looking for advice on switching computers.

    Final solution: I decided to return the 64-bit machine. Instead I will clone his old drive to a new drive to solve any issue of his old hard drive crashing. After, I will build him a 32-bit turn-key system from scratch. I go a lot of good information here (and elsewhere)! [noevil] Glen Braden

    Looking for advice on switching computers.

    HP had (good) instructions for the model PC to 'downgrade' to Windows XP. They do warn that doing so might void the warranty. There were no drivers on the site for windows XP compatibility. The instructions did not address it either. I would image the new environment before I go off...

    Looking for advice on switching computers.

    All my customer wants is a transfer of applications from old to new system without losing functionality. The customer does not want VISTA. I make recommendations that include the pros and cons and the customer is free to make a decision. His business includes several software packages that...

    Looking for advice on switching computers.

    I know I will violate XP EULA by moving his system from one machine to the next. I have an extra Windows XP Pro install disk, so the idea is to install the old system on the new machine and upgrade (legally) to the XP Pro. This is his Business machine. He needs to be able to turn the machine...

    Looking for advice on switching computers.

    My friend has been using a eMachine for his business, loaded up with specialized software. The hard drive has become very noisy and sounds like it is ready to go. He has purchased another computer and would like me to transfer everything to the new computer. The new computer has Vista on it...

    eMachine no longer accepts camera/thumbdrive

    My friend's eMachine (T2642) will no longer recognize his digital camera when hooked up. I tried a thumbdrive, and while it recognized new hardware, it errors out. Any advice? Thanks in advance [noevil] Glen Braden
