Hi,
My hard drive is really corrupted and I would like to completely wipe out everything and create a new partition...How can I do this?
I have windows 7 bootable disk
Thanks
Does anyone know if it is possible (and linear) to port a LaCie Big Disk (hardware based array 0) to a linux server? Can I just install the HD's on the server and then mdadm it?
Thank you!
I'm getting a new development laptop soon, and I'm thinking of using TrueCrypt to encrypt the whole disk.
What kind of performance drop can I expect? 10%? 30%? more? Also, assuming the workload has an effect, would compiling/using Visual Studio be affected much? I cannot seem to find anything like this on the web.
I'm working on vmware image files. My computer always load hard disk and vmware works very slow at the same time.
Guest OS: Windows XP SP2
Host OS: Windows XP SP2
Is there any way can improve the performance?
I have this problem with server running CakePHP application. The server is insanely slow, I first thought that it's application problem, but then I found constant 5-6MB/s write to disk.
What is the easiest way to find cause of such a heavy write?
The server is running Gentoo.
The HP DL380 G7 has 3 SAS disks in RAID 5 configuration. I need to change that server to another task and instead of make a clean install on the HP DL380 G6 can i just swap the 3 disks from HP DL380 G7 to the HP DL380 G6?
I expect some driver issues maybe on the OS itself because the processor is different.
They both use Smart Array P410i, if i power down the machines swap the disk by the same order
will the RAID 5 configuration remain and the OS will boot?

Windows 7 backup fails and gives me the message that there is insufficient disk space. I have over 2oo gigs of free space on one drive and 900 on the other.
Hello,
i'm thinking about installing (using Sun Virtual Box) Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows7 on external disk connected to USB port of my new MacBook; do you think perfomances will be terrific? Have you tried something similar?
Thanks in advance !

I want to install Ubuntu from a non bootable Ubuntu disk. I currently have Windows XP installed. How can I do that?
My intention is to remove Windows completely.
Back in the day, floppy disks were a: and if you were lucky b:, then when permanent storage came along c: was the default for hard disks (as I remember it)
Now that many computers no longer have floppy disks is it possible to have your primary hard disk as A: is the convention out dated?
Removable drives (like DVDs and flash readers) now seem to take lower precedence than permanent storage so it is a bit of an oddity that floppy disks should have higher letters.
Upon starting Windows Server 2008 R2 I get this error message:
Event ID 11 Disk
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk3\DR3.
There are also also 3 more similar messages for Harddisk 2, 4, and 5, but not zero or 1.
Checking the event viewer reveals it's been going on for 3 months.
I ran chkdsk - no bad sectors.
Any advice on the cause, better still, a solution?
hi guys , i have asked about Gparted doesn’t detect any partitions an i tried the command :

So I screwed up my grub.conf file on a CentOS system and I'm in recovery right now (it's only a test dedicated server). My disks are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 (RAID 1). Now I need to mount /dev/sda1 and make changes to the grub file, however those changed need to be reflected on the second disk aswell.
How do I mount these RAID disks? I can mount one using mount -t ext3however it will damage the RAID array.
I have Maxtor Basics Desktop 1TB external USB drive connected to Windows XP. The dirve's firmware puts it to sleep after 10-20 min of inactivity and then the drive cannot be mounted unless I reset it via power connector.
While in sleep mode I can see the device in the Device Manager under both Disk drives and USB sections.
Is there a way to get the drive out of sleep mode without hard reset?
Thanks

I just plugged in a very simple 1GB USB stick from the office in hopes of making it a Fedora Live USB stick. For that to work, I need a removable storage device, or else it won't appear in LiveUSB Creator's list.
Explorer lists my USB stick as a hard disk:
LiveUSB Creator indeed doesn't show it in the device list:
Is there any way of forcing Windows to see the stick as a removable storage device?
just wondering how far drive configuration will affect squid cache performance.
what kind of drive configuration that fast enough for squid ?
is it true that block-level parity strip raid faster than byte-level one ?
is mirrored drive config will decrease squid cache write process ?
how much swap space that squid realy need to store cache (reverse mode) for 200mb web doc ?
what kind of benchmark should i do to analyze squid disk performance ?
Currently we use an iSCSI SAN as storage for several VMware ESXi servers. I am investigating the use of an NFS target on a Linux server for additional virtual machines. I am also open to the idea of using an alternative operating system (like OpenSolaris) if it will provide significant advantages.
What Linux-based filesystem favours very large contiguous files (like VMware's disk images)? Alternatively, how have people found ZFS on OpenSolaris for this kind of workload?
What is the point of finalizing CD/DVDs from user's point of view? First of all does it have any impact on reliability of media or it's just a way to ensure that the content of the disk cannot be changed?
I wonder because I use DVDs to store my system backups.
I have one disk partitioned into 2 logical drives, C and D. There is no unallocated space. I need to add space to C: so I want to use some space from D (plenty available).
How can I do this without losing data on D:?
Edit: This is a Windows machine.
