  1. Whatever C, just because one person can't buy tampax in a timely manner is no reason to change an entire board :P

    (@ Cable)N00B!

    got to be the oneliner of 2011, ( shame on the guys )

    as I have always said a woman needs a few. words , :smitten: ,shame they can't remember that during PMT ,

    only kidding , and trying to be grande macho ,

  2. just to give this a wrap,

    I did the Raid 1 mirrored , maybe running Xp Pro wasn't the best O/S to use ,it needed additional raid drivers,

    via a floppy drive ,

    But after 2 attempts I got there , did the 3 partitions on each of the 2 hard dives ,

    loaded up Xp . it got mirrored on the 2nd drive ,at that point I thought yes .

    so I loaded up some dummy files . made a XP pro built in ASR ,

    gave the automated system recovery try , it worked but it took hours and removed all partitions on both drives including files

    apart from the 1st on both drives .

    now back on 2 drives , with the o/s on "C" , with the right click "send to" to include the 2nd hard drive,

    and a better back up scheme in place.Including a external e-sata drive ,

    and BTW , a stack writeable DVD's , the first in the uk came out at about $3.50 USD a disk , I just bought some Sony writeable

    DVD disks at $0.30 USD,

  3. Thanks for the info ,

    I shall be removing my primary h/d , and installing the 2 new h/d's , and doing a clean install ,

    so nothing to loose I guess apart from time , I will give it a try anyway later this week ,

  4. Hi guys , venturing into uncharted waters here , and Roco is getting out of his depth ,

    and ask Biggles to find out the facts ,

    Having just lost a 2 nd hard drive with 10 years of stored stuff

    ( all was not lost I had some on DVD's )

    I have just purchased 2 identical Western H/Drives , sata 3 ,

    I am thinking in running them in Raid 1 ( mirrored config )

    been merrily googling away I now think I understand the process

    but I got 2 questions I ain't sure on ,

    can both drives have partitions in raid 1, at the moment ,I got a "C" drive ( the O/s )

    a "D" drive and a back up store on "E" all on the one hard disk ,

    the second h/drive ( now defunct ) had partitions (3) for photo's , letters, and a partition

    encoded for bank stuff etc ,

    I guess the question is, can I partition both drives , and run raid 1,

    what gets mirrored , all the partitions I make on each hard drive , or is it not possible to partition and use

    raid1,

    the second part is can I add another hard drive ( the third ) and keep it separate from the 2 raid disks

    I guess it's a weird way of setting up a home computer . , but heck it matches Roco's brain ,

    if there is a easy way and a hard way ,Roco enjoys a challenge , :evil6:

  5. At times it feels like black death , but then again , makes me drive harder to learn what I want to learn to force something to do what I need it to do. Appalling , to serve port from the right , how dare she. tsk tsk

    I understand Bro , I just work on a lower level , it takes me a day to reload Win with all the extras, and get the puter settled , ( I got an upgrade from win 95 to Me coming up for a "friend " that is still on 56K dial up,I do live a retro life at times , :rolleyes:

    but give me a hemihead injected engine to sort ,and I am like a pig in sh*t,

    indeed each to their own, but nothing wrong in widening the mind ,

    and the reason I post mainly in off topic.

    BB is totally different in the UK , with only 1 ADSL provider ,

    all the other ISP's rent the line , apart from Virgin fibre ,

    (limited availability ) and no sat worth looking at ,unless you are a

    Welsh sheep Hill farmer, ( look at the ass on that Ewe )

  6. Hey no worries , I still do not know where the hell it was lolAnd after installing the repo I needed to get soap installed, I made the mistake of running yum update rolleyes.gif Screwed several things all to hell. Now sql is been uninstalled , but many dependancies are still ghosting , so it cannot be installed again , not even a newer version , as it keep complaining about old turds laying around buck2.gif2funny.gif Looks like a long weekend will be wasted on fun stuff dammit lol Just gonna upgrade / update the entire server.

    Ooops total out of my Depth

    you are talking computer servers

    thats a black art to me.

    I was thinking UK servers/retaianers

    My parents had to let the last one go, he kept serving the Port from the right ,damm poor show indeed.

    heh heh , yeah ,I will close the door on the way out ,

  7. :grin2: is it that complicated in America ,?

    just try a ping ?

    I am with Pipex, taken over by Tiscali taken over by Talk

    Talk ( carphone warehouse) but all the UK phone lines are owned by

    British Telecom , known first as Royal mail then GPO (general post office,(pots ) now OpenReach for ADSL BB ,and publicly owned ;

    the options are Virgin Cable if you have the fibre locally ,

    I have at 100Mbps but I don't like the cost.

    I am due for FTTC this month @32Mbps ,it's the no extra cost upgrade ,

    just in time for the 2012 London Olympics, I guess the UK government couldn't face the embarrassment of explaining to tourist's that 5Mbps is the best on

    offer in London UK,

  8. WHAT??? you and murli broke up, roco?? so sorry

    These things happen , anyway it's happened before , we are both independent folk,and I ain't no Saint ,

    but what hurts most, he is a Sailor (retired RN )

    I figure give it a few weeks , a quick flash of my silver wings (RAF retired ), :huh:

    It could end up as two old boys with pistols a dawn ,

    he who shakes less wins :grin2:

    Who says Love belongs to the young ? ,

  9. He's the Henry Ford of our times... He's laid such a strong foundation for Apple, they'll be fine. He came back in '98 to reinvigorate the company, job well done. He deserves to enjoy the rest of his life, not work till he dies. Cheers Steve! You slick mother f*cker...

    fully agree, Steve has done more than his time,

    he ain't well, time to smell the coffee aroma .he deserves it

    Apple UK is well over the top on price ,but we need the alternative,

    same for Gates without either we would be still licking stamps,

  10. That can't Murli? Or maybe your daughter. :smiley6600:

    Tommie Bro , you ain't keeping up to speed

    Murli who |? ,oh the one who has run away with a sailor

    wait to he finds out she gets seasick on the local boating lake,

    but then she wasn't to happy in a glider either , :cheesy:

    Result=My bet is RAF I , Navy 0.

    BTW your welcome Tdawnaz ,hell only 6teen at the time ? , beautiful

    pussy ,and hell makes me wish I was born in America . :smitten:

  11. P A T R I O T I S M, is nothing more than a myopic home town view , sure respect the past and it's leaders , I certainly do , they lead the way, and often paid the price  ,but  by their actions they didn't intend to hold us back , they just pointed the way forward ,IMHO

    Just my thoughts ,

  12. Pip, are you on Home Xp ?. well a clean install is a good way to go ,but 4hours  :evil2:,

    damm,I would have found  a new hobby by then  :evil2:

    Xp home has the ability to make a full shadow back up, but it ain't installed by default . but if you have the disk , it is there ,

    let me know of you need any "how to "

    I useXp pro it has ASR on by default ,I makes a shadow copy of "C" once a month ,

    end of the day I have a clean install availible, at the worst a month out of date , within 20 mins ,

    and yes it formats the hard drive during the ASR .

    so it's  bye-bye to the evil F**kers en route ,

    the way I see it , whatever antispam , trojan , malware virus  is fully up to date ,

    Nothing beats a good clean backup IMHO

  13. Well now I would have taken that for you man, next time lemmie take the heat, you just told in yourself    :haha: :haha:

    :haha:,hey Roco maybe a bit simple but he is honest ,

    Btw, Roco has been sent to bed early . without any supper or beer , and that hurts believe me , him ,

    Thats so true, I only scare off my fair share.  :lol:

    with respect Bro with your 11Billion ? posts , you are getting more than your fair share  :lol:

    makes me feel like

    my excuse , another 100 or so and I could get the "Queens award for industry , whats yours ?  :haha:

    BTW Julet if you log back in , you will have my undivided attention , as being a Brit I am kinda getting lonely on the forum ,
