Its the RAM that came out of my G75 when I bought 32gb... and now the answer to your next question... because I felt like having 32 gigs of RAM... and all I do is browse the web... Next I'm setting up 512 SSD x 2 RAID-0 already ordered it and then putting in an i7-3840qm.... Why is it peoples business what I do with the computers around my house... I also built a wireless network that broadcasts 105mbps wirelessly.... do I need that too? Yes... because I said so...

Anyhow, I'm just a random student in University with a bad relationship with my mom, so what do I know?

I'm not hating, good for you on treating your mom like you do! Though I am jealous :P.

My comment was definitely not meant as annoying or offensive, I use that kind of thing (Y U...) as a joke, you just didn't interpret it that way. If I had a problem with it, I would've just said it.

I've gots a GPU question for you guys.

Would you recommend me sticking with my ATI Radeon 3200 integrated or throwing in an old Radeon x1650 pro discrete card? I've got no money to buy a better one, so please don't suggest that.

I'd have to swap out the power supply in my current computer with a more powerful one I have in an older computer if I use the x1650 and I basically want to know if it would be worth all of the effort. I've never installed a PSU before so yeah lol. Should be interesting if you guys say is worth it.
[Off-topic] AtoZ0to9:
I don't know anything about those GPUs, but PSU installation is easy... Just make sure they are the same form factor before taking things down... i.e. ATX, AT, Baby AT, etc... So if the add-on card is better, and the power supplies are the same form factor.... go for it....
[Off-topic] SteveG12543:
They are the same form factor. I just hope somebody who is familiar with these GPUs can give me some advice. Thanks for the reassurance though. It is just unplugging things and plugging things back in after all lol.

[Off-topic] SteveG12543:
Very true. The main wire sticking out is the mobo wire, and I don't think that can really get tucked away under the 3.5" bay area (the ones to the left of the optical drive are heading over behind the 3.5" bay area where I tucked everything away and the ones on the bottom can't really go anywhere else). It's pretty full in there and there's not much space to begin with when that areas empty lol. I guess I can bundle them all together and stash em in the bay instead.

Also true. And "devil horns?" Off to google real quick lol.. Ahh! That looks really tidy, and looks like it bundles them somewhat loosely. Thanks for the tip! :good:

Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripts

Hello all, I humbly request your expertise.

:o

I have acquired a Windows PowerShell script that creates and mounts a Virtual Hard Drive (VHD). The source of the script is, http://marknic.net/2009/09/02/create-a-virtual-drive-vhd-in-windows-7-using-powershell/ and I have cited it entirely below.

function Check-AvailableDrive {
param ( $driveLetterToSearch )

foreach( $driveFound in [System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives()) {
if ($driveLetterToSearch + ":`\" -eq $driveFound.Name) { return $false }

}

return $true

}

function Create-VhdDrive {
param ( $vdiskPath = $(Throw "vdiskPath was not specified"),
$vdiskFileName = $(Throw "vdiskFileName was not specified"),
$vdiskMaximumSize = 20000, $vdiskType = "EXPANDABLE",
$vdiskDriveLetter = "", $vdiskVolumeName = "NewVHD",
$vdiskScriptFileName = "CreateVhd.scr" )

if ($vdiskDriveLetter.length -eq 0)
{
$driveAssign = ""
} else {
if ($vdiskDriveLetter.length -ne 1) {
Throw "Error: the variable `"driveLetter`" must be a single letter only."
} else {
if ((Check-AvailableDrive $vdiskDriveLetter) -eq $false) {
$errorResult = "Cannot create drive $vdiskDriveLetter - it already exists."
Throw $errorResult
}

$driveAssign = "LETTER=$vdiskDriveLetter"
}
}

if (($vdiskType -ne "FIXED") -and ($vdiskType -ne "EXPANDABLE")) {
Throw "Error: vdiskType must be `"FIXED`" or `"EXPANDABLE`""
}

if (![System.IO.Directory]::Exists($vdiskPath)) {
Throw "Error: the destination folder does not exist - $vdiskPath"
}

$vdiskFullFilePath = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($vdiskPath, $vdiskFileName)

$scriptLineToWrite = "CREATE VDISK FILE=`"$vdiskFullFilePath`" MAXIMUM=$vdiskMaximumSize TYPE=$vdiskType`n"

$scriptLineToWrite = $scriptLineToWrite + "SELECT VDISK FILE=`"$vdiskFullFilePath`"`n"

$scriptLineToWrite = $scriptLineToWrite + "ATTACH VDISK`n"

$scriptLineToWrite = $scriptLineToWrite + "CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY`n"

$scriptLineToWrite = $scriptLineToWrite + "ASSIGN $driveAssign`n"

$scriptLineToWrite = $scriptLineToWrite + "FORMAT QUICK LABEL=$vdiskVolumeName"

$scriptPath = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($vdiskPath, $vdiskScriptFileName)

$scriptLineToWrite | out-file -encoding ASCII $scriptPath

diskpart /s $scriptPath

}

How can I combine the installation of Microsoft Windows Server R2 2008 Enterprise with the above script?

:confused:

After a VHD is manually created using the WinPE command console from the bootable disc, the process continues from the general installer. I am looking to automate this process using suitable Windows PowerShell scripts.

:fingers-crossed:

I await your guidance and suggestions.

Hi guys,

I have a 2.4ghz modem with 10/100 Ethernet ports (netgear dg834g).

Would it be possible to connect a 5ghz router with Gigabit Ethernet ports to this modem and fully utilize the speeds of Gigabit Ethernet and the 5ghz band? Or would the internet be faster if I simply bought a 5ghz modem+router and scrapped the old modem?

Cheers

-Asus M4A87TD mono

Corsair GS700 PSU

-4GB ocz gold

-PNY 550T GPU

-Corsair H60 CPU cooling

-Seagate Barracuda HD

First error I received was "Enter setup to reset default bios settings.USB over current status detected system will shut down in 15 seconds"

Looked into the error message and all I could find is that the front USB ports could be defective so I disconnected them and rebooted and still nothing.

When I try to boot into the bios settings it still sends me straight to the error message. I took everything apart to check for a possible short to the case and found nothing.

After reassembly the computer is not detected by the monitor anymore what so ever. Everything is receiving power all components are operating (so it seems. All fans running HD is spinning etc) but no image will be displayed.

Anyone have any idea what my display issue could be? I've hooked it up to two known working monitors with no luck. Open to any and all suggestions before I start throwing parts at it.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a 3.5 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop (Windows Vista 32-bit) and I just recently purchased a 320GB Seagate external hard drive to which I want to back up my important files. While I was backing up, however, I found a problem in my filesystem.

Some of my documents seem to have been deleted from the system; however, the file is still in the filesystem, it just has no data in it. The files show 0KB and the date of modification is 1/1/2000, as if the files are completely empty of all data. I lost backups of all my USB flash drives for the past 4 years and a backup of the SD card in my SGS4G. (I don't know if this is important information, but the data that I lost was modified about a week ago, possibly on the same day).

I don't know if this is a virus, a result of my attempts to back up my files (I doubt this one), or a sign of an imminent hard drive failure due to some bad clusters. I ran CHKDSK from the recovery partition on C: and I found no bad clusters and no problems on the drive. A virus scan through avast! also came up empty. The Geek Squad told me absolutely nothing.

I don't know if I should get a new laptop soon or what, but my plan is to wait until the bitter end and use this computer until the HDD finally fails. I've backed up almost everything I wanted to, I just lost a few files.

If anyone has any input whatsoever, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[Off-topic] Theonew:
Your files must have been corrupted somehow. In this case it seems like the HDD is at fault (getting old) since no disk errors were found. You could try other disk checking tools before this conclusion is drawn. If no progress on this is made, you might as well just format it or do a clean install of the OS (try Windows 7 instead if you do this).
