It may not be necessary with Server 2003. The system asked me if I wanted to boot from the second drive after a cold boot. Another possibility is that it's coming from the boot loader on the first disk. Now, my experience with Win 2000 and FT (Fault Tolerant) disks is limited, but I believe Windows 2000 (AKA NT 5.0) is pretty much the same as NT 4.0 in this regard. And here's how it worked in NT 4.0: NTLDR reads the BOOT.INI file from the same partition NTLDR is on. NTLDR then presents you with the choices listed in that file. Once you've picked a boot choice, NTLDR loads the system files from that partition and boots the NT kernel. NTLDR knows nothing about FT disks. It can only see BIOS physical disks. (Strictly speaking, that's inaccurate, but it will do.) It isn't until the NT kernel is running that FT disks become available. But NTLDR is read-only, and it can read from a mirror set member as if it was a regular disk, and that good enough to get the kernel running. (This is the same way Linux boots off RAID, BTW.) Now, BOOT.INI can list both mirror set members as boot choices. NTLDR will load from either mirror set member that way. This is useful is the first member is damaged and fails to start successfully. You pick the other member at boot time and the system comes up with one working disk. However, NTLDR itself is loaded by the BIOS, and many BIOSes only support booting from the first hard disk. If the first hard disk is damaged, that can prevent NTLDR from coming up, which prevents you from even getting the choice to boot NT from the other disk. So, the "Fault Tolerant Boot Disk" is basically a copy of NTLDR on floppy disk (just like GRUB or LILO on a floppy), with a copy of the BOOT.INI from the Windows system partition. If the first hard disk goes dead, you pop the floppy in the drive, hit RESET, and pick the second boot option. Or, more likely, you tell the frantic customer this over the phone at 3 AM on a Saturday. :-) Google finds more information: Overview of Disk Mirroring (RAID Level 1) in Windows NT http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=114779 Booting From Mirror After Primary Partition Is Lost http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=113977 Reasons why Windows NT does not boot from a shadow mirror drive http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=167045 How to Recover From a STOP 0x0058 FTDISK_INTERNAL_ERROR http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=128630 How to Recover Mirroring Windows NT Using IDE Devices http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=141702 Master Boot Record Not Written to Mirrored Shadow Partition http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=117131 HTH, Yes, it does help. I built the mirrored drive by first using Acronis to clone the original disk to the new mirror disk. I then converted the original disk (Basic) to (Dynamic) as described earlier. So I'm sure the new secondary disk has an identical MBR to the original disk. The SC430 allows the user to turn SATA drives off/on. I need to test this but I think turning off the first disk in the BIOS would result in a bootable second drive. It would also be trivial to move the SATA cable from the SATA port zero to port one effectively swapping the drives. I've got another one of these 430s coming in shortly and I'll be able to test all of this. I've decided that since I have several clients with the SC430 I should keep one in my office (they really are inexpensive) so that I can swap out the system quickly if it becomes necessary. -Alex -- Ben "I can't believe I remember this crap" Scott ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Do you think that becausethe processors are now Intel perhaps more hardware will become available and thus damage the positive points that you've mentioned? Or do youthink that they will continue to use very proprietary hardware overallto maintain the same benefits they've always had? Also, do you feel like cross-platform programming languages/APIs/etc could ever do as gooda job at providing developers with an easy to work with solution acrosshardware and operating systems?I think most vendors are trending towards more generic hardware. The main cost will be porting and certifying the drivers. Sun uses ATI graphics cards. Some of them the same as on PCs. Also FC cards, ethernet and SCSI. There are also some 3rd party drivers for OpenSolaris for certain ethernet cards that are not supported by Sun. These are much cheaper but I'm not sure I'd run them in production. Of course, 90% of the Linux drivers are 3rd party :-) I remember spending $1500 for an Adapted AHA-1742 EISA SCSI card for a NetApp 1400. The card was selling for $100-$200 at the time, but we needed the certified card that NetApp would provide support for. I saved that card from the scrap heap when we upgraded to PCI based NetApps. They might have some hooks in thier stuff. Apple and Sun USB keyboards have extra keys. One for power on/off, alt-meta-apple-splat, cut-copy-paste-stop, sound etc.Other keyboards may work stock or require a setting in firmware. It's really not much different from Linux drivers for hardware. Someone just needs to figure out the driver. If it's not OSS, the cost depends on how many will get sold vs the effort vs how much they can get away with.

They're PCs with fancy cases, running a fairly decent OS that's more or less guaranteed to work properly with the hardware it's running on. Asking this question isn't much different than asking the same thing about Sun these days. There's a lot to be said for proprietary hardware, though these days, that seems to morphing into "tightly controlled and specified" hardware. In other words, the vendor is essentially specifying in a highly regimented manner exactly what hardware will and won't work, and only allowing you to purchase things which they are willing to support. For this, you pay a slightly higher premium, and they save on stupid support calls. I like the Mac for it's hardware quality. I use it more as UNIX/Linux system than I do as a Mac however. I run X windows and FVWM in such a way that looking at my Mac is almost exactly like looking at my Linux systems either at work or home (or a Solaris system with my environment for that matter). I occassionally use the Mac software, iTunes, and Firefox mostly. But in general, it's a UNIX system with a shiny outer shell that has by far, the best "resume-from-suspend" of any laptop I've ever used. And the hardware has taken far more of a beating than I could ever reasonably expect a non-battle hardened PC-based laptop to take :) > (Of course, the reasons why I'm probably going to pay the $200 Black Tax > to get the black macbook when I buy a new computer are harder to > quantify.

I'm still stuck on 14... I'm thinking I got the syntax wrong, but I've tried all the varients I could for: 14, Valentines Day ... (from Bingo) 14, not unlucky ... (Not 13 any more) 14, lucky lucky ... (twice 7) ...and I really can't think of much else... Tried the above with various capitalisations, with and without spaces, the comma, and elipses. Somebody at work gave me the answer for 14. However, it was something that I considered about a hundred times, but rejected because it completes the phrase for 13, NOT a phrase for 14. Since it isn't looking for something about the next number, I consider that a busted entry in the quiz. so now it's a lot less interesting. but I might continue anyway :) mm ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
