    Recovering data from HD - possible FAT problems

    I have a 180GB and a 200GB drive that I'm looking to recover data from. I was tranferring files to/from the discs, when Windows XP stopped interfacing with them. Whenever I click on the drive, it prompts me to format it. Placing these drives into another computer (whose BIOS recognizes the...

    Pentium 4 400mhz to 533mhz conversion?

    I have a Shuttle SB51G (Intel 845 chipset). It supports up to a 533 bus. When I'm running a P4 1.8/400, it lets me select speeds from 100-132, and when I'm running a P4 2.4/533, it lets me select speeds from 133-165. Is there a way to up the bus from 400 to 533 on the 1.8 (or any other 400...

    Headphones suggestions for office/home?

    I'm a total newb when it comes to headphones, and am wondering what makes/models are good. The set for work is going to be used to listen to music. Sometimes the office gets kinda loud, so some noise cancelling ones would be nice... although earbuds would allow me to know if someone was...

    Airlink 3 port print server @ Fry's - $19.99 + tax out the door

    Saw it in the usual Wed-Thurs ad, picked it up. The shelf tag still said $69.99, but it rang up $19.99 + tax. Tested with my Epson 5400 (printer/scanner/copier... a hot deal here awhile back), and printing works perfectly. Haven't yet tested LPT ports or scanning functionality. Outpost...

    Replacement CPU fan for Toshiba Satellite A15 series?

    Mods: I'm not sure if this belongs in Notebooks, CPU, or Cooling, so I went ahead and stuck it in Notebooks. Please move if necessary. Thanks! My fan on my notebook has been making some loud clacking sounds. While my laptop was in for some warranty work, I had them check it out, and they...

    Outlook web access?

    I'm currently running Outlook XP on laptop, and am wondering if there's a easy way for me to access my Outlook data from other locations (work, travel, other comps, etc). Would this require running an Exchange server, or is there another way around it? Maybe have Outlook web access running on...

    Bittorrent file copying?

    So I'm downloading a torrent, and it creates a list of directories and files that it needs to DL. At the same time, I am downloading part of the same file set from a different source (newsgroups). Newsgroups are the fastest, but their retention is pretty bad - thus, I usually have missing...

    GAIM skins / themes? Looking for a small one

    Been using Trillian, but decided to give GAIM a try. Still a bit buggy, but so far a good alternative to Trillian. I've been using the Microscopic skin in Trillian, and am wondering if there's a similar one for GAIM?

    Harbor Freight B&M pricematching to online prices

    Many of us ATHDers know that Harbor Freight has decent tools for pretty good prices. What I found out yesterday was that they'll honor their online or catalog prices, even if a particular item rings up more in-store. Just bring in a printout of the item (or a page from the catalog). I'm not...

    Help with running United Devices (UD) / Grid.org under WINE in Linux / Redhat

    I've just installed Redhat 8.0, and am trying to get UD working under WINE. I've made it as far as getting the main UD screen to pop up, and processor usage at 100%. However, the processes bar stays at 0%, even though I've let it run for over 24 hours (XP 2000, 512MB RAM). Any suggestions...

    Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil 5qt jug - $18.88 at Wal-Mart

    The last time I've seen 5qt jugs on the shelf was about 2-3 years ago. Picked up two jugs of 10W-30, should last me a good part of a year. A real bargain, since synthetic oils are almost never on sale, and usually go around $5 per quart.

    Abit BX6 - Windows 2000 shut down problems

    I have an Abit BX6 (rev 1) mobo, and after selecting "Shut Down" in Windows 2000, it gives the "It's now safe to shut down your computer" instead of actually shutting the system off. I recently built a new system with this mobo, but it's using the same PS, CPU, vid card, and RAM. It has a...

    Configuring DNS/Apache for MX?

    Suggestions for a good, relatively small, file server case?
