Foolishly, I installed Windows 7 with my new SSD set to IDE. I would like to change it to AHCI. I have done this before, with a different motherboard.
What happens:
I set the controller to AHCI in the BIOS; I also check correct boot order
On boot, I get the 'BOOTMGR not found' error
I use the Windows Recovery Console on the DVD
Diskpart etc can…
I constantly have to set up new servers for an employer of mine for an exact purpose of his, and as such they all have to be set up in exactly the same way. So I've created a script in PHP that I run from my own box to automatically send over all the relevant files, compile everything, run updates, and everything else.
However, for some reason…
I renamed a user profile to a new name. This worked but when I look into the folder path, the old name is being used. Why? And how can I make the folder pathname the same as the new name?
So my laptop just started smoking where I plug my charger in. I run a netbook, the Acer Aspire One.
My charger won't charge it, because when I plug my charger into the netbook, the charging light that indicates the netbook is receiving power turns off.
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot where the problem is and what should I do now?…
I'm surprised that I can't find any info about this, but I'm not a Windows admin and just a novice EC2 user. I have a client who wants to stand up a Sharepoint server on EC2 for internal use. The team is small (10-20) folks and traffic will be light. Mostly, the client is looking for one place to store documents (and revisions of documents)…
I have been using a Barracuda web filter 310 in our network and I have just had enough of it. It does not support trunking and we have several networks that have users that need to be web filtered. (I guess if everyone just did their flippin jobs I would not have this issue) but the management wants me to get it resolved.
Does anyone know…
Three Networks:
10.1.1.0 - Mine
172.1.1.0 - My Branch Office
172.2.2.0 - My Branch Office's VOIP VLAN.
My PC is on 10.1.1.0. I need to telnet into a Cisco router on 172.2.2.0. The 10.1.1.0 network has no routes to 172.2.2.0, but a VPN connects 10.1.1.0 to 172.1.1.0. Traffic on 172.1.1.0 can route to 172.2.2.0.
All PCs on 172.1.1.0 are…
Hi,
We have an existing (production) Hyper-V VM that I want to clone to create a staging server.
This server is NOT on a domain/active-directory - uses all local computer accounts.
It is Windows 2008 OS, SharePoint 2007, SQL server 2008, Reporting Services, and some custom line-of-business web-applications.
We rename the server etc as…
Hello all:
I am currently setting up a 'render farm' for Maya 2008 Unlimited. One Maya workstation license comes with the ability to render on eight satellite nodes. It works perfect, the remote rendering works like a charm.
However, we have additional boxes to set up as satellite rendering nodes, and we have extra Maya workstation…
I have recently acquired a Dell Latitude E6410. It's great but I can't get Bluetooth to work.
I have enabled bluetooth for the Wireless Switch in the BIOS. However whenever I try and install the bluetooth driver from the CD I get the message:
Activate Bluetooth using the Wireless Switch.
There is only a cancel button on this…
Scenario:
You have a file Window, where you want to drag a file from, and on top of this Window is another window, the destination: an app or another window.
So you click on the file you want on the window underneath, and what happens? This is brought to the front and so the destination window is out of view, what a pain.
How…
I know it's possible, but I can't for the life of me figure out how, to launch screen with one window in split region mode?
ie: I have screen set to open multiple windows on launch, but want window 0 to be split into two regions with an application running in each region
I recently received a reply to my concerns about some DNS servers being slower than others despite all servers being anycast:
In practice, most resolvers won't be
impacted by the slower paths to some
of the name servers in the set. Most
resolvers employ various techniques to
provide fast lookups, such as
preferring…
I have CentOS installed on my laptop. I hooked up my TV via VGA and it works, just not as I'd like it to. The left side (on the tv) is cut off, like the image is justified too far left. I want it to be centered, but I also want to use a different resolution. You see, I use a netbook, and thus my laptop screen is tiny, meaning…
I'm want to use adduser
However it doesn't seem to work if I provide the second argument for the user's group
root@a:~# adduser rick staff
adduser: The user `rick' does not exist.
The group exists
root@a:~# addgroup staff
addgroup: The group `staff' already exists.
The man page says this should work...

Firebug Lite bookmarklet is no help here, on half the pages it doesn't even show up.
What I need is basically this:

I want to download emails from gmail using POP3 with Outlook Express.
It downloads about 350 or so emails but doesn't download the remainder - there are over 2000 emails.
The emails downloaded are not recent.
I've tried disabling and re-enabling POP options in the settings in gmail itself but this doesn't fix…
I work for a small digital agency (10-15 employees). We design and build websites (using php and Django). Are we better off building our own intranet using django or going for a pre built (free or paid for) solution?

Can anyone advise me of a really good, readable, Windows 7 TCP/IP network share guide, book, or reference.
I want this because I cannot mount my Lacie 2big ethernet network drive in Windows 7 (32 bit home), but I can mount it in Windows XP Home 32bit, Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and Apple MacOS X. This drive is being…
An older (~3 year old) PC I have passed on to my younger brother has a Sony 17" LCD monitor and uses on-board Intel GMA 3100 graphics (supports Aero under Windows 7 and no more is required). Recently he has complained to me twice that after booting up the screen looks all 'fuzzy'. Initially I thought maybe he…
Suddenly all files, folders and icons that were on my desktop have disappeared.
tried making "show hidden files", no luck.
tried using recovery software, but it did not find any of this files, so I assume they were not deletes.

Does anyone know how I can get YouTube to default to playing music videos in the highest possible quality setting?
If for example 480p is available I’d want that automatically selected before the music starts playing.
I changed the video playback option to ‘Always choose the best option for me, based on…
I can't seem to figure out the problem. I've checked the deny list in CSF, and even stopped it completely, as well IPTables. Somehow I'm still blocked from accessing my server. Currently I can access it from other IPs, so I'm pretty sure that's the problem (though I could be wrong, of course. I'm no…
Someone recently decided to show me a POC of a new Denial of Service method using SYN/TCP he's figured out. I thought it was complete nonsense, but after explaining to him about SYN-SYN/ACK-RST, he left me speechless. He told me "what if the server you're using to trick into sending the SYN/ACK…
