Hi all, I just ordered this Sandisk 2GB MiniSD (SDSDM-2048-A10M) card, and thought I would let everyone know that this is the best deal I could find. Sandisk 2GB MiniSD (SDSDM-2048-A10M): $74.00 Sandisk Rebate (10% off): -$7.40 Shipping: FREE Final Cost: $66.60:) Is there a better...

Try a different monitor, then a different video card if the problem persists, then a different power supply. Borrow from friends.

Hi all, I need to find out how the internal systems in a USB key work. i.e. the memory controller, the USB controller and the IO controller between them. The reason for this investigation is that out of 10 different USB keys I have ranging in size from 16MB to 2GB, only 2 of them will boot...

While it is possible to do this, it is not practical. The flash memory used in a USB key has a finite number of read/write operations that can be performed before the memory becomes unusable. While this number is in the millions, when you put an OS onto the key that performs thousands of...

The partition on the key has to be active. Use Fdisk to remove the partition, reboot, fdisk a new partition, format /s and then you are good to go. If it does not boot after that, then you have a bios/usb key controller issue.

I do not think PQ is causing the problem, because it works fine on some keys and not others. Hence I think there is are issues with the different controllers in the keys. I assumed that this was the right forum because my questions are very technical. In which forum would this post be better...

The problem does not seem to lie in the Host USB to Device USB bus interface, because all the keys enumerate in the same way. The issue lies somewhere inside the key. For example, I can fdisk (and set the partition active) and format /s the key after booting with a Win98 boot floppy. The key...

Hi all, Peter, thank you very much for your post. You are the only one to have touched upon the topic of my question. I am not simply asking about a BIOS supporting USB; I need to understand the architecture of the USB key - the USB interface, the drive controller, the memory I/O etc. This is...

Hi all, I am looking for some technical documentation on the USB key design requirements for the key to be bootable. I am also looking for a utility to format a USB key as a bootable device. Do any of you have any experience in these areas? Any help is very greatly appreciated. Cheers. Lost...

For anyone that can get Wide Open West service, they offer 4.0Mbps/500Kbps.

Well now T-Mobile have changed the service from Included Web Browsing Free to Included WAP Browsing Free.

Um...because they told me.? When I noticed the change on my account I rang up straight away, and they informed me they were updating everyone's accounts, but that it was going to take some time.

T-Mobile is in the process of upgrading everyone's accounts so if you can be patient you will eventually get it.
