I've only had a laptop for about 18 months now and just experienced my first
HD failure. I actually got a heads-up from SMART a few days prior that
failure was imminent so no data was lost. But I've never dealt with
notebook HDs before so I was wondering if there was anything I should be
looking

They are interchangeable (at least in every case I've seen.) I would
get an Western Digital drive over any others.

That unit sold with 30/40 GB drives, there might be a BIOS limitation on
going much larger. I would guess an 80Gb would
I've got an 80GB 2.5 drive that I bought for a portable USB that I am going
to stick in. Then I will get a bigger 2.5 drive to put into the USB case.
My backup solution is twofold. All my data is backup with JungleDisk to my
Amazon S3 account. So even if the worst happens and my house burns
You need to figure out if the notebook hard drive is SATA or PATA. Once you
figured that out, try to find a drive with fall protection. Toshiba makes
some good drives for this, but are a bit slow in speed. If your looking for
performance, Samsung has some good ones out right now. Unfortunately
Totally doable if you use a INF instead of a REG to do
the patching so you have
a control over setting or reverting the settings by
simply changing the
parameters of the call to the INF.
Initiate the setup call the INF install with
GUIRunOnce in WINNT.SIF. As to how
to automatically detect
With perl you could just parse the c:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log and
after you check and see no patches found then you could just delete the
startup script. I am sure it would be really easy to determine that even
if its a hack like checking for the existence of a file or something.
Thanks,
I'm having an odd problem with an XP computer. If I go to the root
directory and type dir /s after awhile I get a bubble message telling
me that a file is corrupt (no name is given) and I should run
chkdsk. If I run chkdsk (on reboot or from PE) it shows no
problems. Any ideas what I could
Have you tried looking at the root in XP explorer? There might be a file
with some naming error in it. Try to delete the file if it is not of any
value. If that does not work try using a folder utility like FAR to delete
it or rename it.
Also, this could mean the command dir is damaged somehow
Hello,
I have a system that has so many files in a dir the system just hangs
for HOURS while I try to do anything in there. I'm using Wayne's XPPE
disc now and it is also affected. Command prompts and rmdir /s /q
same issue - hangs for hours. I need to remove this dir it's screwing
up av scans
I think Knoppix will let you write to an NTFS file system. Try booting a
Knoppix live CD and delete the directory using that.

You could also try moving every -other- directory somewhere else and just do
a format...
