Just a thought. Since it is not booting even from a USB disk, perhaps the problem may not be in the HDD, but somewhere else. Did you try checking that the BIOS registers other components, as well verifying the memory, etc? Sincerely, K. Patel http://kpatel.x10hosting.com

Without having compared different tools, it would be difficult to say which is the best site analytic tool. Google Analytics is widely used, as you can see by the replies that you are getting (I use it too, by the way). If you have a Gmail account then you can immediately configure Google...

Debian would be more stable than Ubuntu, in my opinion. ---- K. Patel http://kpatel.x10hosting.com

In general, everything else being the same, the quad core machine would be the better option if your server requirements are so heavy that the OS swaps processes out of memory to handle the load. Also, for future scaling up, the quad core would be preferable even if the dual-core server may be...

It is great to see that more people like Linux as compared to Windows. But the number of votes are too low to conclude that the penguin rules, since the sample is not representative of the installed base out there. Could someone in charge correct the calculation of the percentages, please...

This configuration does not seem to be so demanding that it would overload a 450W SMPS. When you try to boot your machine, do you see the fan spinning, and the hdd and DVD drives making their characteristic sounds, accompanied by flashes from the front panel LEDs? If so, most probably the SMPS...

That is indeed a very interesting fact. They were really using 8086 based on-board computers? There are only two more shuttle missions planned this year. What are they planning to do with the collection of chips now that the shuttle missions are nearing completion and the fleet about to be...

WinXP will not be phased out, it will just fade away over time. Once MS stops official support, and the hardware changes make the current drivers obsolete, it will become more and more difficult to run XP. Witness Win98. If you need to run MS software, shifting to Win7 is the logical step...

High and low he searched for a career, Then decided to become a free lanceer. "What the deuce", said the knight, "First learn to spell it right, Only then will you get help from the seer." Did you try searching for "freelancer" on Google? Hope this helps. Sincerely, K. Patel...

Apparently the file allocation table is severely corrupted. The file stamps range from the year 1983 to 2103 ! In my opinion, even if you manage to delete the files from the command prompt, the FAT cannot be relied upon. It would be best to completely reformat the pen-drive (NOT quick format)...

Absolutely. How can distros derived from Debian be included in the list without including Debian itself? Sincerely, K. Patel http://kpatel.x10hosting.com

At the time of writing this, 134 persons have voted in poll, and clicking on the results reveals the curious fact that 8764.93 % have voted for Ubuntu. 1914.18 % have voted for "Others", with a microscopically small percentage of the votes for the remaining alternative Linux candidates Some...

Well, pressing F8 may not work on all mainboards. On one of my desktops, pressing ESC during bootup brings up a menu from which a boot device can be selected for that particular boot. On another desktop, however, to do the same thing I need to enter the BIOS and select the boot device. This...

Your hard drive should be master, and the CDROM the slave if they are both on the same IDE cable which should be plugged into the Primary connector on the mainboard. If on separate cables, the hard drive should be master on its cable, plugged to the Primary. On the other cable, connected to...

Some more details would be useful in order to help you. You need to determine whether the old disks are IDE or SATA. If they are IDE connect them to the IDE connector on the motherboard using IDE cables. If they are SATA, you need to use a SATA cable and connect them to the SATA connector on...

Who made that list? You include Debian derived distros and the list does not contain Debian itself? 20000 plus packages, rock solid, tested, is and will always remain free. My vote goes for Debian.

Just blogging with a series of posts one after another? Use a blogging site instead of creating your own website. Pros: Less painful, immediate visibility. No hassles. Cons: The site looks more or less the same as all the others. If you want to do more than just blog, and create a site around...

No, not Samba. The original problem is that of reading data from a windows partition in a dual boot machine after booting from a Linux partition and running Linux. Samba, instead, allows access to a windows machine over a network, and provides file and print services to windows clients, which...

You can have read and write access to data on a windows NTFS partition by using the ntfs-3g package. Install the package using the recommended installer for your Linux distribution. From a terminal you can give the command: ntfs-3g /dev/xxx mountpoint where: xxx refers to the windows partition...
