    Please Help!!! data lost on new external hardrive

    in Networking and Hardware

    Posted

    I think it would be like any other H.D.just go to explore and find the drive letter, left click it first then, right click on it and go to properties then tools, error checking, check now, then check both boxes and start. click yes and restart the PC.

    You might want to check the model # of your PC or the MB model and make sure it is USB 2.0 compatable if it is not, that could be the problem.

    MYRIAGON.

    EDIT: Also you said you formatted your other H.D. did you reload winXP on the old H.D.? if so did you load SP1 or 2 yet ? if not some USB 2.0 will not work correctly without it.

    Hi DaveMan....

    Just wondering is it a USB H.D. ? If so is it 2.0 and do you have it hooked to a 2.0 USB port ?

    Might try shutting all down and try different USB port and or,

    Depending on what OS you are running, you might try running a full Scandisk for win98 or Chkdsk /r in recovery console with win2000 or WinXP. or in WinXp check disk for errors with both boxes checked.

    Good luck........let us know

    When I had a 15" I always ran it at 800X600 But with my 17" Flat I run it at 1024X768 and it seems just right, Seems like 1024X768 on a 15" would be too small, But it's all about personal preference........Gotta have it the way you like it.  :D

    Yeah MarkX gave a good checklist of things to check on,

    As far as Checking the fans, you can usually just do a visual on them.

    Just pop the case open and check them out and make sure the power supply fan is blowing good out the back also. sometimes they just get caked with dust, or just wear out

    I don't know if your vid card has a fan or not , some do, some don't.

    Good luck, let us know.  :)

    Sounds like it could be a cooling problem.

    Might want to check all your fans, CPU,CASE,PS.VID CARD, ETC.

    If they are working properly.......Upgrade is GOOOD!

    Also you might want to check for new drivers, or if you have had this problem since newer drivers have been installed ,try going back to older ones and see if that helps.

    yeah I redownloaded and tried again and it cleared itself this time when I closed the log.

    I tried to make a batch file once, I forget what I was trying to do with it , but it crashed my system and I had to reload windows....LOL

    After that I never really messed around with them again.

    I would think that it would work like the last upgrade.

    I was at 4/384 and I knew the upgrade was coming, so every morning for about a month I would run a speed test and then I would reboot the modem and PC and run another speed test, and finally by just rebooting the modem it changed to the 6/768.

    So I figured they just did a general upgrade to all the modems at once in my area and a reboot of the modem finalized it.

    We'll also be telling our kids: "Well in my day, we used a phone line to connect to the internet at 1000x slower than you, and we payed for it by the hour."

    "(then to self later):Damn kids today, they don't respect older technology." :haha:

    I hear ya.

    And at my age I find myself sounding more like my dad every day, Something like "when I was your age I had to walk 10 miles uphill in the snow to get to school"

    ..............What a bummer.    :(

    Scientists Set Internet2 Speed Record

    By Susan Kuchinskas

    Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) set a new land-speed record for Internet2, a second-generation network serving universities and research institutes.

    The team, which included folks from AMD (Quote, Chart), Cisco (Quote, Chart), Microsoft Research, Newisys, and S2io, transferred 859 gigabytes of data in less than 17 minutes. It did so at a rate of 6.63 gigabits per second (define) between the CERN facility in Geneva, Switzerland, and Caltech in Pasadena, Calif., a distance of more than 15,766 kilometers, or approximately 9,800 miles.

    Scientists are racing to move gigantic amounts of data by 2007, when CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will switch on. This huge underground particle accelerator will produce some 15 petabytes (define) of data a year, which will be stored and analyzed on a global grid of computer centers.

    High-energy physicists are excited about the LHC because they hope it will allow them to find the Higgs boson, a theoretical particle that they believe creates mass.

    "Physicists are trying to fill in the blank spaces in our model of high energy physics," said Jim Gray a Microsoft Research engineer who helped set Wednesday's record.

    But this $10 billion collider will be of little use if scientists around the world can't access the data.

    Researchers aren't the only ones excited about blazing data speeds. This record speed of 6.63Gbps is equivalent to transferring a full-length DVD movie in four seconds. There are uses in astronomy, bioinformatics, global climate modeling and seismology, as well as commercial applications from entertainment to oil and gas exploration.

    Internet2 is fast -- Abilene, a U.S. cross-country backbone network, blasts data at 10Gbps. But transoceanic networking is another story. There are hardware and software issues to overcome, Gray said.

    For example, one limiting factor is that the fastest available interface for PCs is the PCIX64 Bus Isolation Extender, which can only handle 7.5Gbps.

    The land-speed test is part of an ongoing R&D program to create high-speed global networks as the foundation of next-generation, data-intensive grids with a goal of transferring data at 1Gbps.

    The performance also is the first record to break the 100-petabit meter per second mark. One petabit is 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits (define). That may seem like an almost inconceivably large number, but Gray said storing petabits of data is a fact of life for many large corporations. He said Microsoft has about 5 petabits of data, and he estimates Google and Yahoo store that much, as well.

    "If you have a million customers and they each have a gigabyte of storage, that's a petabit," he said.

    The technology used in setting this record included S2io's Xframe 10 GbE server adapter, Cisco 7600 Series Routers, Newisys 4300 servers using AMD Opteron processors, Itanium servers and the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003.

    Good ol Comcast.

    I think they need to get what they have working first.LOL!

    MYRIAGON : In doing some web surfing I ran across this.What do you think about it? :

    http://forums.infoprosjoint.net/showthread.php?t=1904

    "From what I remember from older OS's. You are unable to read from 2 different partitions if they are different formats ( Fat32 and NTFS), well today I partitioned my laptop's 40GB HD. The main partition has Windows XP Professional on it and is a Fat32 drive. I created a new partition around 9gigs and it wouldn't let me format it to a FAT32 drive when I was in Windows. So I was like what the hell, lets make it a NTFS drive and apply the reg tweak that is here in the site somewhere tol make it where I can read both drives from within Windows.

    To my astoundment, Windows XP is able to read b/t the two different partitions with one being FAT32 and the other NTFS. What is the highest Microsoft OS that can do this ? Or just I just stumble onto a fluke occurance ??"

    Hi CHOLLA.......

    The part I can't understand is why they couldn't make the second partition FAT32.

    I used to run XP PRO with FAT32 all the time, and would usually have 4 partitions, and I could format those any time I wanted to FAT32 or NTFS, I used to run it FAT32 because that way I could use the win98 boot disk and run XP setup without the CD.

    As far as reading NTFS and FAT32 that's not a fluke it's just what XP does.

    But win98 can only run on and read FAT16 and FAT32.

    Believe me I'm no expert, just saying what has worked for me. :)

    If anyone can add to this, please do cuz I still learn something new every day
