I have a ML350 G6 with a P410i disk controller with 512MB battery backed up write cache. I have a RAID 5 array of 4 1.5TB 7200 rpm sata drives and I have started an expansion to add another 1.5TB drive to the array. It seems to be working, but seems very slow. After 24 hours it is 25%...

A question I had hoped I would never have to ask... Does anyone have experience with a data recovery service? Or a secret on getting Seagate to fix a Barracuda drive with SD15 firmware on it for free. I just had my first go round with Seagate tech support and their recovery service. I am...

I have an application implemented in MS Access that we use for scheduling. BE Database is only around 6MB at the moment. With Access 97 database for both FE and BE it is fast enough that there is no perceptible delay in operations. When I convert the FE to Access 03 and leave the BE as 97...

I have an old APC Smart-UPS 1400. I had had some fairly recent APC Powerchute monitor software installed, but it drove me crazy and I uninstalled it. It ran something like 3 services, was around 70MB in size, and I could never get any useful information out of the cartoony user interface. Went...

Just installed HP Procurve Manager software - I am having trouble getting it to discover PC's on the network. It seems to have found my 3 procurve switches (what manager calls interconnect devices) and my printers (end nodes), but only 1 unknown device (the PC the procurve manager is intalled...

Has anyone had success using SMART hard drive monitoring to predict hard drive failures? I have several Maxtor hard drives in service that seem to have a high failure rate and was wondering if running a SMART monitor program would be of any benefit? I found a free program called HDD Health...

I have not verified this, but came accross it on F-Secures website and thought it might be helpful to someone.... One sideffect of Sasser worm's spreading is that it crashes LSASS.EXE which forces Windows to reboot. This makes it rather difficult to fetch and install the required security...

The ATA/SATA/SCSI debate seems to come up quite often. I came across this paper by Seagate on the differences between ATA and SCSI. It is a little on the technical side, but I found it quite interesting...

Background - I am just getting V7 rolled out to a mix of mostly Win2K and WinNT boxes, with a couple of 98 and XP thrown in. Some of these are clean new installs, some are upgrades from V4.53, some were installed remotely, some not, some are at build 139, some at 142. I am using a Win2K...

Here is an interesting article at F-Secure on Sobig.F. ... All the infected computers are entering a second phase today, on Friday the 22nd of August, 2003. These computers are using atom clocks to synchronize the activation to start exactly at the same time around the world: at 19:00:00 UTC...

Any pointers on cleaning the internals of an officejet G95 would be appreciated. I had a black ink cart. discharge what appears to be just about it's complete contents into the printer. Had about a dinner plate size pool of ink under the printer and ink dripping from just about every orifice...

I have been looking for an easy and inexpensive way for nurses in the field to e-mail patient notes. I found Atlantis (http://www.rssol.com/)that looks like a neat little word processor and claims to have strong encryption. Does anyone know anything about Atlantis or of a way to verify their...
