Hi Yuri I have long since given up on the old floppies,(hugs USB pen drive.) but CDR can be 50/50. There arn't many cdr manufacture in the world. I think 5 at last count and they basicly compete on price per unit. So the low price one's like transonic/mr data etc can vary like the sea tide and sh

Hi all, Back in the days of 5.25" floppies my father worked in IT and he always used nothing but Verbatim, swearing they're the best brand. Now I see Verbatim 3.5" disks and CD-Rs for sale, and I wonder if this still holds. I ran 'mcheck a:' on a bunch of old floppies I found in a drawer and the

yes actually i meant to make the point that you should back up before resizing a partition anyway. often there is too much data, but under 720M is pretty well no excuse... On Mon, 10 Nov 2003 15:11:53 +1300 Yuri de Groot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > do i take it windows has left the building,

Hi Rik   Now this rings a bell.  There is a patch on my iPAQ that compensates for a "sleep" timer deficiency on my card - wonder if this was what Chris was referring to.  Before I used the patch, call setup took ages on my iPA.I wonder if there is a response delay by the card when initialisi

Hi   Does anyone know of a FAT32 file system defragmenter that runs under linux (or DOS)?  Did a quick google search, but couldn't see anything non-commercial...   I am trying to repartition a small (720MB) hard drive...  and Windows doesn't live there any more.  FIPS won't go until it is def

It looks like installing Knoppix on a Compaq Server was a bad idea. After getting the files transferred to the hard drive, it wouldn't write to the MBR. I finally fixed that by running /sbin/lilo -M /dev/ida/c0d0. When it booted, I got a kernel panic. I think to get Knoppix working on this hard
