[H] What is BoB for Intel D940 cpu?

2006-07-18 Thread GP

Hi Guys,

I plan to upgrade mine for Intel D940 cpu.  I look at ABIT  AB9 Pro 
(non SLI, not avaliable yet locally) or ABIT AW8D (only 1 PCI, need 
at least 2 PCI).


I will use it for Photoshop CS2, video editing, light gaming.

Advices &suggestions are welcome.

TIA.

As Microsoft's guy, I already told you "We only deliver what you need, but

You are familiar with ir, are you guys :lol

Well, I tried once, but it will reporting that the drive is not formated 
when it stat. (Sorry to to tell you that the enclosure is a HD enclosure 
with build memorycard reader + Lithium Battery, it has 2cm x 4 cm LCD display)



But a couple of observations:
The 32Gb limit on formatting FAT32 partitions in 2k and XP is not a bug. 
It's there by design to discourage the use of FAT32 when NTFS is available.


Running FDISK and MBR will not touch your RAID setup, as you are referring 
to an external drive, are you not?


Well, finally I solve it using demo version Partition Magic.

More likely, it's a limitation of the firmware of the hard drive.
Did you "fdisk" the drive?  Fdisk allows for partitioning of the
drive, as well as viewing what partitions already exist.

If you are starting fresh, you might want to:

fdisk /MBR

That will trash the current master boot record.  Go back into
fdisk and clean out any partitions, and start anew.  After
partitioning, then format the disk however you want.

Thanks for the info and links.  Well I don't want to run "fdisk /MBR" that 
will destroy my SATA RAID0 setup.

It's a portable 2.5" 40Gb USB drive, and I use it as my camera memory backup.

I thought the 32g limit was a hardware imposed limit of the IDE controller

what SPs do you have installed on the 2k machine? If you have SP4 then it 
should NOT be a problem. Do you have another machine to hook the portable 
drive to? What was the drive formatted at before? Is this some one else's 
drive? The only reason I ask is because of the way that you presented the 
problem & feel free to ignore it.


I have both W2KSP4 & WXPSP2 boxes, and both won't do bigger than 32GB.

Negative. While FAT32 may have a limit >32GB, Win2000 and WinXP can NOT 
format a FAT32 partition over 32GB (even though they can mount and use a 
parition that has already been formatted >32GB)


http://www.allensmith.net/Storage/HDDlimit/FAT32.htm

The limitation is imposed to get people to run a filesystem that doesn't suck.


Well, this what I suppect that the bug in "WINDOWS 2K & XP" that make me 
unable to format  bigger than 32Gb partition, unless using other tools.


Is it ok with WIndows98SE?  (I don't have Win98 box anymore).

[H] FAT32 Question

2005-08-14 Thread GP
I have strange problem with my portable HD.  It's inside the USB 2.0 
enclosure, and it's a 40Gb 2.5"HD.


Actually the problem is it has a corrupted folder that couldn't be deleted 
(error message).


I tried to format the drive thru Win2K desktop PC with FAT32 format mode 
but I got error message couldn't able to continue formatting.  I suspect 
that this error is due to size limitation on FAT32, but I don't know the 
exact size, my guess is 32Gb max maybe less.

Very intersting.  I tend to believe his anaylsis, especially with the
just unveiled new PowerPC chips that are what Apple has been waiting
for.


How many % Bill Gates or Paul Allen share in Apple?

Then,
-   related to Windows vs Open system (supported by IBM, HP, other, 
especially IBM).  In Europe, Open system start winning legal support.
-   Intel vs AMD (I smell something strange with Dell, which refuses to use 
AMD, and today their Intel PC prices way cheaper than HP or IBM, even local 
brand)

I believe all new PC today is NIC build in.
Why don't you use a cross LAN cable then move the files using windows 
explorer.  Of course you need to share the folder.
