  1. Here is what happens.

    I can boot off of a disk, but once it tries to start the install system, it ceases to see the dvd drive as being on a generic controller. So windows setup boots up enough so I can press F6(I think thats it) to load a 3rd party driver from the disk, at which point it works. Otherwise I get a bsod during setup. With linux, it boots until it says "starting kernel", at which point it freezes.

  2. Is it possible to install linux from my hdd? It refuses to boot off of my dvd drive because it is connected to a raid controller, so booting off of the hard drive is really my only option.

  3. what I am concerned with is space. I have 100megs free now, and I cannot even clear stuff out by burning to disc because I dont have space to unrar my files. It is really annoying. So, I need one big hdd, or two smaller ones for the same price, that will give me 250 or more gigs. Preferably 320.

  4. couple of things

    make a nas(network attached storage)

    with a tv tuner, and maybe a better gfx card you could make a media center machine

    create a portable storage device by taking a minipsu, the hdd's, and the ide-usb converters. Make it glow for activity(not sure how) and hold it together with electric tape

    create a server

    create a very powerful router/weak computer

    more coming later

  5. well,

    "Still in early development, the USB Chainsaw is described as a all purpose physical access hacking device able to take advantage of many x86 based operating systems, including Windows and Linux. No other details are available at time of writing. Dev5 Project"

    right from the wiki, that means at least linux will be supported.

  6. I found the usb chainsaw on the wiki and had a few questions:

    1.Will it be on the next episode?

    2.If so, when is the next episode?

    3.How will is exploit linux?

    4.Will it support os x?

  7. you are referring to the flash drive? Ok, well let me tell you something, I have a job managing three websites for various organizations around the area. They've each got something like 300megs of files to transport around for editing. I made frequent backups of my mom's computer(no disk burner), and the family computer(too many files for a cd burner). I transport files to my grandparents(mainly photos, the cd drive's functionality is sparatic).

  8. Ok, I get that, but the big thing now is, do I get u3 or not? Can it be removed easily of I don't like it? Because there are a lot of things I might use it for, and a lot of situations where it could be a nusance.

  9. I backup my mom's 4gigs of files monthly, I reformat once every two months(average). I need to back things up quickly to other computers, especially over large distances. Im not too caught up on speed anymore. Right now, its either the cruzer micro or the cruzer mini. I just need to know, can u3 be removed?If so, does the cd partition go away? Can it be put back on if I change my mind? The micro is faster, cheaper, and I woldn't need to worry about loosing a cap, thats why I need to know about u3. The micro is fast enough for me.
