I think this is really simple, burning it to CD so it's bootable. But for the life of me, I can't work out how to do it with Kon-Boot. The ISO won't burn the normal way and Windows won't open it. Confused.

They have the last four digits of the card and the expiry date.

Thanks for replies. However, the question really was do I need to shred and burn them. I'm already aware of doing this and shred mine. But do I need to? Can info be gained from them? We're talking about receipts when I go and fill up with Petrol or getting food from Tesco Express. Of course I won't be keeping those for records, unless needed, I just want to know if I can safely dump them in the bin. Rather than having to horde them till I get loads to them burn. It's an annoying hassle.

I've always been lead to believe that receipts contact enough of my credit/debit card details that I should be shredding them. I know they use to show the whole number, but now only show the last 4 digits. So, do I still need to shred these or are they fine to just bin. I'm stick of having to collect them to then have to shred.

Done a short vid to show why it's broken :)

:) Here's another perfect example. PC 1 is on a domain, logged into a local account Mapped to the NAS drive fine. Tested folder permissions, can write to it fine. Load up Acronis 2010. Setup a task to backup to this folder. Put in the login details (had to create an account on the NAS the same as the local Win 7 account to get it to work). Test the account in Acronis. It confirms details are correct and it can get to the share. Run the backup Operation Paused Error occurred while creating the file Why? Because now suddenly Acronis can't write to the fing NAS drive. Even though everything else can. FFS! Oh and the classic log files comes back with Logon Failure: Really? But I tested the login in the fing task and you said it was fing OK. FFS!

He hasn't but as gone a different route now. Elearn Security?

Same old Linux crap response. I like Windows, I like MS. Never got on with Linux. It's not bad I guess, I just don't like it. But I don't post in every Linux issue thread "Saw you were using Linux, so NVM". That's another reason to hate Linux, some of the users. ;)

Because I do probably an over the top backup routine for home as you see from first post. Doing a one off backup it's fine for. However doing what I've setup it screws up. Know issue that Acronis has never fixed. Starts the full backup and finished fine. Next day it does the diff of that full backup. Runs fine. Then few days later after a few successful diffs it decides the next diff will totally overwrite the full backup file. Random week from week. If you edit the task you've setup, it appears to reset it all. So your full backup runs on Monday. You edit tuesdays diff task before it runs. It decides to then totally ignore the Monday backup and just does a full backup instead of diff (because you clicked the edit button. You didn't change it, just the act of clicking the edit button makes this happen). Constantly craps out with domain and network permissions when it's attempting to connect to a share. The log files tend to be crap. If the network drive isn't on it just claims the password and user name were wrong. It's been doing that for several versions, never fixed. Currently it's giving this error in the logs, nice and informative. Nice and informative that error log. I liked it back in V10. It worked. The schedule was a bit clunky but it worked. That doesn't work on Win 7 unfortunately they blocked it. So had to go 2010, was a mistake. That's why its shit.

Once I got back from the US about a week later my friend e-mailed me from there. I shall now embarrass her. She worked in a theatre in the ticket office. An old dear came in to buy a ticket and handed her a $100 bill. She took it and gave her the change. Her shift finished and she went home. She got woken up later by her boss on the phone, asking her to come back into the office due to a security issue. She did. They asked her about the bill. She said she remembered an old woman handed it over when she brought a ticket. They showed her the other side of the bill. It was blank. :) Crazy. In the UK we double check £20 aren't fake, holding up to the light to check the watermark, so a $100 bill with one blank side would never get past us :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried Windows Backup, it's shit. Set it up for my brother in laws business as a temp solution. I don't like the way it backups. Would be nice to see Stormtrooper, I mean, Infiltrator's :) script. I'll have a look at the open source stuff.

Pretty much all the restrictions would be in gpedit. And on a domain it would be domain group policy. So in your case, if the test machine isn't in a domain it would just be the local group policy to lock stuff down. Almost all the options have really good explanations of what they do. Could also take a look at youtube as that as some good vids sometimes. Or ITIdiots old videos are good. I like ITIdiots. http://www.itidiots.com/itidiots2/ Episode 8 and 9. Although they speak about domain group policy but you should be able to get the idea from watching that. Fun training vids instead of the boring professional ones.

It's official. Acronis 2010 is truly shit. On the look out for a new solutions. Need it to be able to do tasked backups. Full monday backup tue-thurs dif backups of monday. Friday full backups E-mail me the reports work well in a domain environment. Would rather not pay crazy Backup Exec prices For home use. Any ideas? Acronis 2010 is just being a pain in the arse with the permissions, failing to start backups with an error report with nothing in it. Was good back in v10. But that doesn't work in Win 7 :( so had to use 2010 which has been shit. Good for the odd manual backup but useless for Tasked.

Just a signature base system doesn't really work either. Was in the USA about 6 years ago for a 2 week holiday. Went to buy something in a store and signed the receipt after the guy gave me my card back. So what was the point in that then, as he never checked it match that on the back of the card. Was in the Caterpillar clothing store in New Port, Kentucky. Also in Myers at the till put the card in what seemed like a chip and pin device but you just sign your signature on it instead. Yet again no attempt to check my signature matched that on the back of the card. Card crime in the US must be massive :)

Not sure, will ask. Although you can still contact a company but they could still be a scam. This is the trouble with not well known online training.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/susan...d_pin_syst.html Interesting security flaw Never thought chip and pin was that secure. Chip and pin and an actual signature would be a bit more secure.

No 1?

Anyone used or heard of this company before? A mate wants to do the CEH course but I'm not sure if the company is legit. http://www.itonlinelearning.co.uk/index.php

On the cheap a bit as the PC was free but the CPU can't really cut it so need to replace it really but I currently use A HP 7900 with E5200 2.5ghz - free Discovered it can't do 64bit VM's :( 8GB RAM-Brought 2TB HDD-Brought People may laugh but as I haven't touched ESXi yet I've gone with Win 7 64bit and that runs VMWare Workstation 7. Currently hosting DC1- server 2008 RC1 32bit DC2 Replication server - server 2008 RC1 32bit File Server - server 2008 RC1 32bit Torrent box - Previously was a physical box but used VMWare converter to convert it-XP sp3 Little is done on it at moment due to the poor CPU. Mainly run test VMs on my main i7 rig. Looking to get a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 Socket 775 3GHz 1333FSB 12MB which will fit on this board and in this case to replace the stock chip. Not sure if it will be as good as an i7 though.

But they might not want her to know so they can see what see has been sending etc. Legality of this might be questionable but could you not, over the weekend, set up a button hole cam that points at her screen and keyboard. So you can see her typing in the password. If she doesn't know about the camera she hopefully won't cover it.

Didn't think of that. Could give it a try. I love VMware and hate Linux so don't know it well enough.

One of my trusty Buffalo NAS drives died the other day Sad I say trusty but their fans have always be notorious for not spinning. I think that's what happened. The fan hadn't been spinning for a while but never fing e-mailed me the issue, even though I have them setup to e-mail me every day. So I've removed the drive and it appears fine. Loaded up VMWare Workstation 7 and slapped Ubuntu on it. Plugged in the drive to a USB and can see it in ubuntu. Currently copying the files to the Ubuntu desktop. Now with VMWare Workstation 7 I can copy from my main Windows 7 machine to any Windows VM desktop or BackTrack 4 and all copies over fine. Think I can copy back the other way as well. However, how would I get the files off this Ubuntu desktop as it seems to not work with Ubuntu. I can't seem to copy directly over.

Given up so may sell me Fon.

We used MDT 2010 at work. And I think with that solution a business can set it up for free. So if you IT department is limited then you could have a free setup. What I mean is, with WDS I believe you need a server which would be an extra licence. Where as with MDT 2010, you can just use a share on an XP box. You'll only be able to image 10 machines at a time with XP's limited connections but it would all then be free.
