Try this link: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ I use the super grub disk all the time. I've had a lot of success booting into both Ubuntu and Windows using it after my system becomes unbootable. I've never used Rescatux, but if it's as good as super grub then I'll have to add it to my cd...

I've never had any issue with other files downloaded on my network. For instance, yesterday I downloaded an iso for ubuntu 11.10 and used it for installation on my laptop with no issue. I also frequently download games from steam with a steady speed, which doesn't lead me to suspect any...

Just got a third PC running Windows 7 64 bit to fail a display driver install. This one was an Nvidia 9800 GTX+.

Same OS, Windows 7 64-bit with the same updates installed. That's really the only common factor. One's a dell xps with a pentium D and the other is based on an ECS motherboard with an AMD Phenom II x4 955. This problem is boggling my mind...

I used the program suggested and had no luck. Everything was the same. I even attempted simply to uninstall the current driver and reinstall it, which also failed. I also remembered that I had recently flashed a new BIOS. I rolled the BIOS back, still to encounter the same problem. As an...

Flushing out the TEMP folders was unsuccessful.

Sorry, I should have made myself more clear. I'm not concerned too much with the newest driver not working. I'm more concerned that the previous one would not reinstall. I don't want something to happen to my system, then not be able to install any drivers at all for my video card. That being...

Hello everyone, This morning my computer prompted me that the new 12.2 catalyst software suite was available for download from AMD/ATI. I am currently using 12.1. I chose to download and install the new version, but the installation failed to install the new display driver (8.95). My current...

Pinging is fine. I just noticed that his wireless connection is considered eth1. Could there be an issue because linux thinks the wireless connection is ethernet? EDIT: Check that, he's lagging via ethernet connection and he's lagging trying to connect in Windows.

Eclipse is great. I love it for Java programming. For C/C++ I like to use Kate text editor and compile via command line; however, I have used Code::Blocks before and it works pretty well as an editor/compiler combo. I have found a lot of problems with Code::Blocks as far as linking (I get a lot...

We're both running wireless connections. We're connecting to another server and then into the server we want (port filter circumventing...). It's not my network so I can't do any testing on their infrastructure. I noticed there are 51 TX packet errors. I'm familiar with basic network...

My coworker and I are connecting to an ssh server on our network that seems to be lagging only on his machine. My toshiba laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 runs the connection without any real lag at all, yet his hp running Ubuntu 11.04 runs slow; slow enough that he can't edit any text files without...

Thanks for all the responses. I like the simplicity of running the WD test, but unfortunately the drive is completely useless now (took a turn for the worse). It's about to be tossed in the trash can.

Good to know. That definitely would be a limitation. Thank you for your help. I'll be sure to connect the drive to one of my boxes at work when I go in on Monday. Thanks again.

Curious: What makes USB a poor choice for this kind of testing? Also, do you have any other suggestions for testing software?
