I was moving my data from two 80 GB HDDs to a new Barracuda 200GB and with about 90% of my data transferred the FAT decides to dissapear. I got a "file or folder corrupt" error and when I rebooted the drive was gone. The drive passes all diagnostics, just somehow the FAT is gone. Is there a...

Ok I was transfering files to a 200 GB Seagate IDE and got a "this folder or file is corrupt" message. Tried to run chkdisk and reboot, then the drive was gone all together. Somehow the NTFS FAT is gone. Thing is I was moving everything to it and then going to back it up to a second matching...

Does Xbox have USB? I was thinking of getting one and using it as a game station for NES, SNES, and other ROMS. However, like on the PC it is no fun without the gamepads. The keyboard sucks for console emualtors. I know NES controllers can be used via USB on PC and want to know if ia way...

The lack of software options is an outdated argument. There is tons of software for OSX. The only area lacking is games. However, most computer users aren't gamers. I could see the lack of software argument in the past, but it was one of those things that no longer has validity that doesn't...

I went by the Apple Store site and they have a heck of a deal going on refurbs. They have a 12 in PB for $999. The first to break the sub-$1000 to the best of my knowledge. Plus, some great deals on refurbed G4 ibooks.

Either that or your bios doesn't recognize. I bought a Seagate 200GB and it has been sitting unused for over a month because the SuperSocket 7 system I was going to setup with Linux for a file server does not recognize a HD that big. It sucks. I have the most recent BIOS and it isn't recent...

Thanks I up and running now.

I am trying to set up port forwarding on my Linksys BEFW11SR for use with Bitorrent and have had poor luck. When I first went to the router setup and try to save after setting portfowarding, it didn't work. I tried three more times to no avail, after it saved and went back to the screen after...

I don't think I would ever reccomend against a Seagate.

Another plus at Microcenter is to sign up for the Microcenter Visa at time of purchase and get $100 rebate. That comes out to $699 for the ibook, talk about hot.

The only place with more ignorance is a clan rally. I don't have a mac, never have, but sure I have enjoyed using a friend's ibook. It is a great machine and if I had the money for a laptop I would be interested. It is like all these young PC types go to a brainwashing seminar and spew out...

I have been trying for two weeks to convert my K6-2+ 450 into a file server after getting a 200Gb Seagate Barracuda. The first problem was that the most recent BIOS update is still too old to recognize a drive over 200GB. So, I got a PCI IDE card to bypass the bios, but I can't boot to CD-ROM...

Hmm, I guess a controller card then. Any suggestions on cheap and reliable? Promise, perhaps?

I have an old K6-2 450@500 that I wanted to use as a Linux file server, but the 200 GB HDD is too big for the bios. The install craps out on the \home partition because it is bigger than 130GB. Mandrake partition will recognize the full 200GB, but die on install and Disk Druid in Fedora only...

Ok, so the firewall/router box needs to be seperate from everything else. What about a file server and a mail server? Can they both be on the same box? A friend was throwing away a P100 and I know it is wimpy, but it should be enough for a firewall. I have an old K6-2+ and as soon as I get a...
