There have been occasional complaints about WHS having resource utilization problems when it's trying to deal with very large files (meaning many Gigabytes in size).
The client PC backups that WHS makes are a bunch of "small" files that WHS can easily handle. The daily client image backups...
I can't say that's been my experience. I typically use my disks for at least six years and then often give them away to friends who need disks. In the past I've had LOTS of Maxtors and Quantums die early, but the majority of my other disks (mostly WD and Seagate) are still working after six...
I also suspect that IBM made A LOT of money from the (probably REQUIRED) software maintenance contracts for their mainframes.
Regarding the PC, Microsoft was on a fast development schedule and the small group in Boca Raton didn't have time or people to develop a new PC OS. And they never gave...
Remove the disk from the housing and either connect it (internally) directly to the PC as a secondary disk or get a SATA/IDE-to-USB adapter cable for ten to twenty bucks. Those all come with their own power supplies.
While there's good information there, it doesn't show the space used for shadowcopies.
The command-line command, "VSSAdmin list shadowstorage" will show the Shadowcopy space used on all disks in the system.
For example, my Win7 boot disk, a 320 GB WD SATA disk:
Shadow Copy Storage...
Agreed. It's asking for compatibility issues and gives no advantage to most customers. I'd put x32 on any PC for a client unless they specifically asked for x64 and then only if they understand the potential compatibility problems.
I sympathize with your client issue and don't have any great...
I don't know exactly how disk drive bearings are constructed, so my knowledge of this topic is limited. I can see how the spindle could be effectively "bent" (maybe more of a bearing issue than a spindle issue).
But it seems like the point where the heads read the disk would remain at pretty...
Since Windows 95, the default Windows setting for TCP/IP is that if an IP address is not manually configured or if the NIC doesn't find a DHCP server, then that interface will be given an IP address of the form 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with Netmask 255.255.0.0.
Clients verify that their...
You'll run out of drive letters at "Z:". A common reason that disks don't show up is if they've been assigned a drive letter that conflicts with a mapped Network drive letter.
When unexplained errors occur, the first thiing to do is an overnight Memtest86+ and run one or more disk maker's disk diagnostics program against the hard drives. Run these tests using a boot CD. The images are available on http://memtest.org and on the disk makers' sites.
Years ago there were certain orientations that weren't recommended by some disk makers. I know of no current restrictions by anybody. Modern bearing designs and voice coils (versus stepper motors) for head positioning are the likely reasons.
Hard drives have been mounted vertically in some...
Well, technically, there is no such thing as a RETAIL XP Professional x64 version. ALL copies of XP x64 were OEM. That means that, under MS' licensing policy, opened packs of x64 can't be sold unless they come with a prebuilt PC. A SEALED pack can be sold.
