Buffalo LinkStation

afosz — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:25:07 +0800

I'm not sure whether the right section to seek for help or not but anyway, I have a Buffalo LinkStation 500GB acting as network storage. The thing is that a component burnt, fan malfunction and a total useless. The hard disk connected via LAN and power cable.

So I open up the case, take out the hard disk and try to access it through internal PC storage, windows detected the disk but no file system so it is inaccessible. From disk management, right clicking the partition also no use, all options gray in colour except for 'Delete Volume'.

My concern is that, how can I access the hard disk ? Will not reformat it as I'm trying to get all the files inside. I tried data recovery but the files seem wrong. I think all of it are temporary files. So the current files, I think is there but how to get it ?

SCSI hard disk

afosz — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:03:18 +0800

Morning guys,

I need help regarding a very old skool computer, the IBM IntelliStation M Pro, it is my friend's pc. Anyway, it is fully functional since 2002 I guess until recently it can't boot. After few hours trying to log into BIOS, I finally manage to do so to check the boot priority and as expected, hard disk not detected. Then I open cpu case and check the cables, reconnect and everything, still the same. The thing is, I'm not sure what type of hdd is it. It is not IDE or SATA, totally different pin. It connect to one PCI card.

Windows Boot Manager

I have only one OS, that is Vista Ultimate. Previously I have no problem for my pc, but this is the first time I faced for my notebook. I just reinstall Vista Ultimate, and after activation, it shows

Choose an operating system to start, or press F8 to select a tool:

Microsoft Windows Vista

To specify an advanced option for this choice, press F8.

How can I remove this ? But then I only have one OS, how come it still displays ? Usually it doesn't.

Need recommendation for 2k budget

afosz — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:06:36 +0800

Hi,

Can anyone suggest me a full set of CPU including monitor with budget of RM2~2.2k at most. Exclude keyboard, mouse and speaker.

Preferable Intel based setup, and if possible C2D at least E7300 / E7400. Otherwise, Pentium Dual Core should do just fine.

Purpose mainly for project, research using CAD or Solidwork.

I can quote myself but I left building rig part for quite some time, so I guess I need to seek some experts around here to suggest, especially on Intel part, the motherboard, which can support CPU, etc.

Intel D5400XS Skulltrail

afosz — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 22:31:10 +0800

QUOTE

One glance at the Intel D5400XS motherboard with its dual-CPU sockets and active chipset cooling is enough to tell you that this isn't your normal PC motherboard. Code named Skulltrail, the Intel D5400XS represents Intel's ultimate PC motherboard platform. Regular motherboards only have a single CPU socket, two PCI Express slots, and support for only one of the two competing dual-GPU formats. In comparison, the Skulltrail has two processor sockets, four x16 PCI Express video card slots, and built-in support for both SLI and CrossFire. If you set two Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors in the board, you have an 8-core monster ready to run.

The Skulltrail code name follows the pirate-naming theme started with the "Bonetrail" code name for Intel's X38 motherboard. Intel was able to supercharge the board by making a couple of aggressive design decisions. Engineers built the board around the Intel 5400 workstation chipset instead of using its standard X38 or P35 desktop chipset. The chipset choice gives Skulltrail advanced features not available on normal desktop motherboards, such as dual-CPU support, but it also brings new requirements, including a new CPU socket, LGA771, and DDR2 FBDIMM memory. We aren't thrilled with the FBDIMM requirement, but the modules aren't too difficult to find and don't cost much more than unbuffered DIMMS.

C2Q Q6600 for RM659

afosz — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 08:27:23 +0800

[attachmentid=324878]

Take a look at Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz for RM659! I've downloaded latest pricelist from Hardwarezone and all LYP shops are still selling for RM930-950. So is it a typo?

My friend went to the shop last week and ask the promoter there the same thing, is it really quad processor for RM600+? Then she said something like "Yes, that's the price. Hold on, let me check the price via online. Our online prices are the latest and updated ones." Btw shops are located at Sabah

Zone Alarm and �Torrent

afosz — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 00:02:29 +0800

Previously I'm using �Torrent and using Windows Firewall only. Now I'm trying to use Zone Alarm but when I run it, it seems like it blocks �Torrent's downloading speed, although I've already port forward and it shows green. When I shut down ZA with Windows Firewall turn on, the speeds back to normal.

Anything I need to configure somewhere in ZA? Please help ..

[WTA]CE to Urban & Regional Planning

afosz — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 18:36:56 +0800

I would like to ask something since all the thread regarding Architectural, Engineering, etc has lost..

I'm studying in diploma in Civil Engineering and hopefully to further in Bachelor Degree especially in IIUM but the thing is, there's no Civil or Structural there. The nearest is Material Eng and Manufacturing Eng. But then, there's one course under Architectural & Environmental Design that attracts me which is Urban & Regional Planning. Is there any possibility?

It's not about the course, it is about how can I go to IIUM with diploma in CE. And for job in the future, I wish for consultancy, not construction and URP is something about planning and managing which is about consultancy. Hope experts out there can help me out one something

i run downloads on my computer..(utorrent, bitcomet and bitlord) and always leave it everynight and the next morning i woke up..it either hang in the middle of the night or crash (Blue Screen of Death)..last time it was 'sometimes', this time it was EVERYTIME..i know this is something to do with my hardware, is it??

1st time i bought this computer..no crash (i think so..)
then i upgraded my RAM..(then comes sometimes)
then i upgraded my RAM..again (this time everytime) it was like 2 times a day..1 time will always occur in the middle of the night..1 more probably while i'm using it (either playing games or something)

my pc hardware:
PROC: p4 1.80ghz sc478
M/B: P4266/A-823X
RAM: kingston ddr333 256MB
HDD: Maxtor 80GB

the RAM i upgraded to + ddr333 512MB = 768MB
then upgrade again to +another 512MB - 256MB = 1GB

to experts out there: any idea on how to overcome my problem??
