thx for the attempt, but sorry Cerb, i don't get it. unless NAND ware leveling is dependent on a Trim compatible OS, then i just don't see how secure erasing would be relevant at all. I understand Trim is unsupported by xp. I thought NAND leveling occured independent of the OS and trim...

As a 9 year old member, one would think you'd know better than to attack other members and to attack the mods. Sadly, it appears you don't.

despite all the warnings for hdparm taken directly from the man page quoted bellow. my first assumption would be hdparm was not made for modern SSD's.
to me personally, unless someone explains in greater detail, i fail to see how secure erasing a SSD is relevant at all to your goal... An SSD...
what i did once for a laptop back in the day when vendors were trying to phase out XP by not providing drivers for some components but only vista/7, is go to a different vendors support site for perhaps a diff brand but uses the same chip/chipset, and use there driver.
have not looked into it...
I'd think, the fact that only his desktop has the issue and he already tried bypassing his home network with no change.. would rule out Both his ISP and home network.
I dunno what OS ur using or apps ur using, but Flash is one of the common things most ppl use that would be synonymous across...
seems most of your components have encountered some sorta fault now. maybe worth while to replace PSU along with it, instead of risking PSU having been the root cause and damaging the new board.
or Fuk it all and wait till u can update your entire system, if u wana be more economical that...
IF its not simply a mistake like mechBgon mentioned, and he doesn't know a simpler way than bellow...
yeah i noticed that to even in xp, if its not the main exacutable trying to run during application launch it may just fail after launch due to other libraries its trying to access and not...
If the issue is isolated now only to your games, perhaps try running your game with audio disabled completely through device manager(or just pull the card if its not onboard). reboot and see if you then encounter any issues with the game
I'd start by checking if /indexing is turned off for that disk. I really don't know all the symptoms of indexing never looked it up, i always just disable it tho.
and also which usb port your connecting it to and which cable your using, before assuming anything bad actually with the drive itself.
dunno but i do believe 2 sticks of higher capacity always ran better than 4 sticks on those old mem controllers. my first guess would be they are not identical, even if they have the same model number the chips can differ. especialy since your ram is old, i would find it doubtful a replacement...
sorry about the BAT, im not familiar with win7, didn't know it would do that.
but SRP basically works like this.. its goal is..
If u #Execute from a dir(ex. %PROGRAMFILES% ) you cannot #Write to the dir
If u #Write to the dir(ex. %APPDATA% ) you cannot #Execute from the dir
The...
dunno but a random thought.. you using any surge protector?
you verified an issue by replacing gfx, then u verifyed another issue swaping and then replacing HDD, sounds like theres more then one component thats being affected here, perhaps a surge occured, or possibly a lethal fault from a...
nothing personal dude, but you do not and should not use a boot manager to boot a clone. The only reason the clone didn't boot for you on this last test run was because your original cloning procedure had mistakes which ended up getting cloned since you lost the original win7 bootloader and or...
I did make a mistake ill clearify down bellow, however doesn't change the fact the recovery partition is gone.
OEM Recovery partitions are usually much larger than ~2Gb, IIRC old xp oem's may average ~10GB, would make me assume win7/8 oem recovery partitions maybe anywhere from 20~50GB. Im...
dunno but would guess its a driver issue since sounds like your describing hardware acceleration issues. I dunno these days but in the past some games or applications would sometimes come bundled with there own d3d dll's that were sometimes optional, if one of your got changed to an incomatable...
unless you missworded that sentence, the recovery partition is gone. It cloned your drive including the partition table for the recovery partition but you selected to not copy the data for that partition. i believe you tested the recovery partition before the point when you modfied and ran into...
since everything seems normal i personally would go back and look at whats easyest.
you say your devices arn't wireless but wifi is left on. if you keep it on, if it has a client list of preferably history of all attached devices, check see if anyone was possibly leeching off your router...
due to your statments above, i would assume your only issue with trying to boot from the /recovery partition is because it no longer exists. you can also note in your picture "recovery partition" is using Zero partition space because you did not clone it.
I no nothing of EasyBCD but if my...
I havn't used them all but i assume most if not all are USB bootable these days. if one doesn't come with its own application to extract to USB, unetbootin or universal-usb-installer maybe able to put the linux image on to USB for you.
i also have not personally used clonezilla which i think...
@Concillian -
theres nothing to align, the disks are affixed to the same armature, and the heads are affixed to the same arm mount.
assuming your not confusing yourself, only thing i can assume your trying to say is that the gaps between tracks on the disk are not a mirror image to each...
I do not have experience dual booting win7 with itself, however someone posted at one point about prossible issues with what your trying to do some were on a diff topic. IF they were IDE you maybe able to just set them up as master/slave, but if BIOS doesnt differentiate between Drives and only...
nothing personal. looking at it now i see how it may of come off that way... i may of been a little too descript as a lot of topics have irrelevant info, part of which when i first learned of things was also advised and used, so my distaste for some things is reflex don't take it personal. the...
no offence taken, not actually bursting anyones bubble i never looked into it, i just assumed. yeah i know assuming is bad, but when its not mission critical saves a lot of time
tho *IF what your saying is true, IMO that would be Amazingly stupid of hdd manufacturers. unless there just...
re recovery partition, thy maybe referring to changing system hardware not just HDD, or maybe copying recovery partition data not actually 'cloning' it. i never needed to, but my assumption would be it would work if core system hardware remained the same. u can test it directly after cloning...
just my opinion
the question is moot. ur getting an old used drive to replace an old used drive, which may or maynot be having issues. there real world performance is probably similar and moot compaired to SSDs. All in all, again IMO no matter what kinda drive you recieved as...
i assume you won't be able to get a concise answer about the noise unless its obviously defective. however to get any worth while opinion at all i also assume your going to have to do a much better job recoding the noise.. to me it sounds like an AC running with someone using a stapler in a...
the issue is not dell or seagate, the issue is you bought a non-rare, non-mission critical piece of consumer electronics off ebay.
i never used seatools but if what your saying about it not letting you run it because there maybe a firmware update for your drive, that doesn't sound right...
playing with racks and bios probably works, tho i wouldn't recommend it for fulltime option for kids. hell most adults would probably end up breaking something like that
dual booting xp is easy. i havn't used win7/8 but with my previous experience and random things iv heard. If i were to...
/noscript/option/embeddings/forbid Iframe
if an image after that is iframed you can rightclick the placeholder and copy the image location, past it into a new tab and open it without the IFrame
i don't know about win7 specifically but i would assume its stopping you from exacuting notepad out of its default directory for basic protection from rootkits and such that would try and copy microsoft exacutable names. most likely not stopping other exacutables. can just save a txt files as...
Im not familiar with what you need beyond 'any' linux distro, in order to determine the drive as "toast".
but for reference if 'any' distro doesnt suit your needs.
PartedMagic - became very popular, but may not be free anymore IDK
Systemrescuecd - is what i use to use, PartedMagic...
ram is currently always faster, but is that the hindering factor for your task re those programs i do not know.
but, are you using the sumatra version optimized for your platform? links near bottom of following page..

[EDIT: after looking at the original link inside the link lol.. correct me if i interpereted this wrong, those types of embeded scripts need you to open the PNG in a webbrowser to have there desired affect?, and it appears this could apply to any image format its just happened to be a PNG the...
that was awesome, but less mysterious after seeing the report of how they did it. part of which requiring an inside agent/mole to actually figure out which systems to target.

such a bad argument i wish ZERO-DAY were already here and worse than any of your paranoid delusion can imagine, so my comp could of exploded and burned my eyes out b4 reading that.

I dare you to try and specify any proof of what you just said LoL
again I dare you to specify anything. I've seen just about every OS out there, besides the visual GUI appearance of win7, what again do you say it magically does for you, that no other OS's can do?... Besides DX11. and...
