Re: [CGUYS] Suddenly a disk drive is not formatted in Windows X
However, in my experience, this has never been the case with external drives, which a lot of his seem to be (I don't remember if this one was). This was a BIOS limitation only evident on EIDE internal drives. It depends on the disk controller that is in the case. You make a good point that the first thing to try is to move the drive to an external case whose disk controller is known to be working. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Suddenly a disk drive is not formatted in Windows XP
Followup on a suddenly unformatted drive. I have decided that the internal hard drive F: that Windows reports as being unformatted is reported by BelArc advisor as this one: Maxtor 6Y120M0 [Hard drive] (122.94 GB) -- drive 2, s/n Y3KTK99E, rev YAR51EW0, SMART http://www.belarc.com/smart.html Status: Healthy Why is it reported as healthy? Originally it was formatted as compressed drive. It appears in Device Manager as working properly. I have a backup of this drive from November 2007. I am concerned about loosing stuff after that date, altho it probably isn't very much. I was using this drive mostly as a backup of drive C: Before reformatting, I want to know if there is a problem with Windows instead of the drive. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Suddenly a disk drive is not formatted in Windows XP
Right click my computer and select manage. Select disk management. See if the drive shows up. If it does right click it and see if it gives you any options like convert foreign disk or convert to dynamic...anything but format unless you want to lose your data.

Re: [CGUYS] Telephone companies and privacy
Whoa there hoss. You are mistaking two different sets of privacy. 1.) The privacy of your information as a customer and your financial information you share with them. (As just evidenced as you made you payment on your phone bill using a financial instrument.) 2.) You extrapolate this privacy to the privacy you enjoy or wish to enjoy on your use of the public airwaves and infrastructure of phone or wireless usage. There comments are to 1) only not to any thing else. I cannot speak to the administration and their need or want of looking into usage of phones. That is another subject. But you must understand I am in a profession that enjoys very little privacy. I am on display all the time and everyone critiques what I do, so I really could care less if anyone is listening in to my phone calls. Someone needs some sleep so whoever listens in to my calls gets tons of it.

Re: [CGUYS] Telephone companies and privacy
Whatever you want to believe. It has always amazed me that people want privacy but leave it all hang out (so to speak) In this day of technology you leave so many digital footprints out there. Kind of reminds me of the Head of google getting all bent out of shape when Cnet googled his info and let everyone know it. As I said in my occupation I have very little privacy. My pay is discussed by a board and voted on by all the congregation (By the way I do not know their financial information or salaries but they all know mine.) I have no say in it except to walk out the door if I am unhappy. My spending is watched over by everyone. Every slip up is discussed in public! In Europe it is never expected to have the kind of privacy folks think they have here in America. I do not expect privacy. If I am doing wrong I expect to be caught. I do not expect anyone to cover my tracks. (Even if I am paying them, it is not their job to cover for my criminal activity.) But I do believe you are wrong. What Verizon was assuring you was in conjunction with what they are required to do with your private data resulting from a transaction. It is what any respectable merchant will do when purchasing or divulging any financial data to them, assure you that they will keep this data private. Collusion with NSA? If the feds come up to me and say we need this, my first reaction, when and how soon! They are the government and I am responsible to them. (Remember Verizon operates under the privilege of the Federal government to use the airwaves and the phone lines.) Maybe it is because I have such a low expectation of privacy, but it did not disturb me one bit that someone might listen into my conversations. As I said before I have nothing to worry about in that regard. Stewart At 07:59 PM 1/27/2008, you wrote: I do not think I am mistaking two different sets of privacy.

Re: [CGUYS] Telephone companies and privacy
In the news these days are stories about how our current administration is desperately trying to protect telephone companies from lawsuits that may be or are being filed as a result of their illegal participation in monitoring and wiretapping activities. I grew up being taught that ex post facto laws were prohibited by the Constitution (Article I, section 9). Or is this just another of those inconvenient truths? Generally speaking, ex post facto laws are seen as a violation of the rule of law as it applies in a free and democratic society. Most common law jurisdictions do not permit retrospective legislation... in a nation with an entrenched bill of rights or a written constitution, ex post facto legislation may be prohibited. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_post_facto_law) But I suppose Bush could just issue them all pardons. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Telephone companies and privacy
I do not think I am mistaking two different sets of privacy. Privacy guarantees as pertaining to my personal information is exactly what could have been violated by Verizon in their collusion with the NSA. Could have? That's a weak argument as far as evidence that Verizon colluded with the NSA. The NSA doesn't need Verizon to get in your shorts. Demonizing a perfectly good telco is probably a bad strategy. At Verizon, I've had the opportunity to work with a very diverse community of very professional people. We take the whole privacy issue very seriously. So seriously that there are requred courses on this. For all management people. I don't think I'm excessively stupid, some may disagree. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Well, sir, all I can say is that you need to investigate the goings on within the very company that you apparently work for.
