Hello all, A quick simple questions!!! When designing/choosing a NAS system how does one chose the hardware specifications of the NAS box it's self? i.e. what processor, ram, etc... should be picked? I do know this is "how long is a piece of string"! But guidance or being pointed towards...

Hello all, Would anybody be able to lead me in the right direction for some information in relation to the Subject mentioned above? What i have is a PC which I want to be able to start remotely? I am not concerned how it is performed I am just wonder if there are any solutions out there...

Hello all, I'm in the process of buying a server for home/small business. I have been looking at Compaq Proliant's and I'm trying to find out how I can decide if a part is compatible or not with one. If I'm trying to match CPU, RAM, Hard drives, what are the key specifications that are...

Thanks for that, Coudl you tell me where I could find out the BTU rating for this? Thanks, Derry

Hello all, I'm hoping to get a cheap server to use as a host for back ups, file server and web server in the home. This server will be connected to a wireless network which will consist of a Workstation a PC and an iBook. I came across a refurbished HP Netserver LT6000R on eBay for about 150...

cyberspace - If I may, the answer to that I believe is no. The file format is .bkf which can only be opened by the backup/restore application within win so you need to have win working!?! (Don’t know if it works in dos, don’t think it does!) Bit of a catch 22! The main reason to backup such...

Just on a side: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307545 This is the MS support for restoring the reg in a corrupt PC. Reading the fine print and warning can be quite terrifying!!! A blue screen error on friends pc lead me to this article, then the fun started as i tried to get this working...

acl03 - I have already come across this but the issue is that this back up can be quite large (in my home PC it ran to over 300 Mb). My hope was to have something running at the beginning of every boot so that an archive of the reg could be created that could help monitor and maintain a pc. I...

Just had a thought! How could I put a command into the beginning of start up that would copy the registry to say a USB key or a second HDD or an external HDD? Any ideas of where to go? or how to perform an action like this? The idea would be that windows os would not be using the reg hive at...

Thanks for the quick reply, MrTBC - Yes you can boot from the CD but if you don't have the proper CD, like if your calling to someone's house to fix their PC, or trying to do a clean install from an upgrade for someone, you need to have the startup disks to really begin for the begining! Also...

Hello, Is it possible to place the 6 XP start-up disks onto a cd for easier and faster install/maintenance? If I create a WinPE CD how would I get this to boot the correct files in the correct order? Am I asking too much, should I just keep using the floppy? Any response would be...

I've got a second hard drive. I installed XP pro on a partition on it. What do I have to do to get rid of the first hard drive. All the boot config files are stored oon the first one I know that. What I want to do is make the new hard drive the boot HD and get rid of the old one. What do I need...

Stussy, thank for that. I will have en external 300 Gb HHD available and I plan on having that as my back up system while also using some off site storage for weekly/monthly critical back up via DVD. About the internet connection, thank you for that as I only know what i do know form the...

Thank you both for that, I'm not going crasy. I was thinking about a refurbished Poweredge SC Server and looking at the specs I couldn't see the difference to a Desktop PC! Is there anything that I should look for in regard to reliability and remote management i.e. how do you make a normal PC...
