    Is it possible to boot two operating systems at the same time?

    You can set up multiple virtual environments within an os using vmware or virtuozzo's operating system virtualization technologies. They will behave independently of the underlying os and you can manage each of them separately.

    Can I remotely reboot a Windows 2003 server that's locked up?

    Depending on the make of the server it may be configured with lights out management such as ILO for hp servers or drac for dell servers. You should be able to reboot servers remotely through those interfaces.

    Does anyone here treat RAID 5 as a suitable substitute for a backup solution?

    To maintain uptime I would do backups from one raid 5 array to another raid 5 array on another server. That however is not a fool proof solution as has been pointed out. I would use some other medium like tape for that.

    Upgrading Hard Drive

    Yeah you can use disk imaging tools like norton ghost or the one from acronis. I'm pretty sure there are free utils that do this out there but I don't have any direct experience with them. You can also resize the partitions however you like. If you're still using the old drives on a...

    Static Route Problem

    You may need to set up a virtual interface on your router B that belongs to the 192.168.251.0 network. That way it knows how to get there. Right now it seems that it doesn't know how to get there through the gateway x.x.0.1. The best way to see this is try to telnet or ssh into router B and...

    Is a WD raptor HDD really needed for gaming?

    I just installed the 150gb raptor drive - the 1500adfd model - to replace a 160gb wd caviar. I straight cloned the old disk onto the new raptor drive and installed it. I did not find load times in games or apps to improve by that much. Load times improved, but by only a small margin. The...

    Divx/Xvid Stuttering

    Thanks for the suggestions. Unplugging the santa cruz and utilizing the onboard sound doesn't seem to help the stuttering. It is also apparent when I install Haali Media Splitter or when I try to enable/disable the use of overlays. I tried disabling all video codec's and I can tell from the...

    Divx/Xvid Stuttering

    The driver update did nothing :( The entire computer is a new build with a fresh install of windows so it has never played correctly. I'll try disabling the sound, but I don't think I will notice the stutter since it is very subtle.
