[H] IBM Thinkpad r50e
I'm about to upgrade the hard drive in this laptop and would like to know what the largest capacity drive I can install. Lenovo seems to only offer upto 80GB upgrade drives. And I've heard people stating the 160GB won't be recognized. Logically, I think the largest capacity HDD I would be able to use in this laptop would then be the 120GB ones. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks. -rich

Much thanks! BB is having a sale on the 120gb so off I go. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tharin Olsen Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 2:32 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] IBM Thinkpad r50e As you already guessed, you should be safe with a 120gb drive. Chances are, you would be fine with a 160gb as well. A system bios that does not support 48-bit LBA has a capacity barrier at 137gb. However, as long as the hard drive is recognized in some way by the laptop you should be able to utilize the full capacity of the drive when using an OS that has its own support for 48-bit LBA. Microsoft Windows XP w/ Service Pack 2 and Vista both have this support. Win 2K and earlier Windows XP versions require a patch/registry modification.

Re: [H] Online FTP sites
You could find a web host that will give you SSH access, setup shared secrets between your PC and the webhost, and use Windows Scheduled Tasks to launch pscp (part of PuTTY) to move the files up to your host on whatever schedule you want..

Will it let me do that like a FTP program or does it have to be integrated with explorer... it reads like everything is auto backup and far more complicated then I want.

That is exactly what I don't want to do. I don't want to share, automate, or schedule anything. I just want to upload three 2-3GB zip files manually, preferably by FTP, once or twice a month and I don't mind paying for it. Godaddy won't let me store files anymore on my Deluxe hosting account, and every storage site I find wants to automate, backup, or share the files some level of proprietary software, and/or always on in the background.

Re: [H] XP Pro asks for password when mapping drive
I'd leave the password part out since windows should use the logged in user password anyway to authenticate. In fact if username is not domain based or an account other than current login, then there is no reason to add it since the current un/pw is sent automatically.

There are still a lot of Windows 2000 machines in my town it seems. An example of a batch file would be something like the following --- Begin FixDrives.bat @echo off rem A message that is displayed while the script is processed. echo Please wait while your network drives are recreated. rem Our first command deletes any existing drive mappings net use * /delete /y rem Next we recreate the shared drives net use p: \\computer1\public PASSWORD /user:USERNAME net use t: \\computer2\finance PASSWORD /user:USERNAME net use z: \\computer3\admin PASSWORD /user:USERNAME Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC
Re: [H] XP Pro asks for password when mapping drive
Specifying a password and username is only for when the currently logged in user can't authenticate with the host system in the first place. Obviously its not advisable to keep super secret usernames and passwords in a plain text file. -Tharin O. j maccraw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd leave the password part out since windows should use the logged in user password anyway to authenticate.
