upgrade 8 to 8 Pro for £25 (instead of £40) I recently bought a windows 8 pc, and wanted windows 8 Pro. So I downloaded the "Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant" http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/buy (£25), but it told me the pc wasn't compatible. I tried running in compatibility mode (xp...

Yep I can access the router's UI from the laptop over wireless.

No. when connecting with ethernet on this laptop, the internet works fine. WIreless also works from other laptops.

yep, gateway is the thomson router and i can ping it fine.

Hi, I have here a Toshiba Satellite U500, windows 7 64 bit, connected to a thomson wireless router. when I connect wirelessly, with full signal, I can ping www.google.com but there's no internet access from any browsers (IE, firefox) or programs (skype). If I connect with ethernet, the...

Hi. I have just had one disk in my raid array fail, and on rebuilding, there are too many @unrecoverable medium errors" on the other disk to rebuild. So straight away i connected it to linux and used ddrescue to copy everything to a new 500gb drive. The failed drive is just a windows ntfs...

My users aren't clever enough to recombine themselves, so a Winzip option is a must. zip 3+ looks like it does what I need (judging by the filenames as this is exactly the same output from winzip). But I'm having trouble finding an RPM package for Centos 5. Where's the best place to get it from?

The problem with 7zip is that it splits the zip file in parts ending in 001,002,003 etc, which winzip doesn't understand. So the user needs to have 7zip or some other file joiner to merge the files together and then unzip them. With winzip, when creating a split archive, it creates a...

Sorry, to clarify, I need to create an archive in linux that's split over many chunks, and then be able to unzip it in Windows (preferably with winzip).

Hi. In Windows, winzip can split an archive over many files, and I just specifiy how big I want each chunk to be. The final result is many files named z01, z02,z03, all exactly the same size apart from the last one. Is there a way to do this in linux? I 've found zipsplit, but this actually...

never mind, did a firmware update on the raid cards and it picks up the drive perfectly now.

My other drives are all 3gbs and wouldn't work until I set the jumper on the back to 150. Can anyone else verify that it should work? At the moment the raid cards bios screen hangs as soon as it tries to read from this new drive.

Hi. I just bought a WD Cavier Green drive which is a 6gb/s drive: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-379-WD&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1279 Trouble is, my Raid card is very old and only supports SATA 150. With all my other drives I just set the jumper on the back of the...

Confirmed it DOES come wiht it :-)

ok, I've asked customer services. Will let you know of the outcome.

Hi. I'm looking for a Low Profile PCI Express Gigabit network card. I've found one on overclockers: Intel Gigabit PRO/ 1000 CT http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-010-IN&groupid=46&catid=1597&subcat=1599 But it's shown with a full height backplate. There's no mention of...

The drive is indeed a 1.8" and uses a CF connector. I saw the kingspec ones but am scared to go for it in case the same thing happens. It's a cheap ssd and I heard that performance is bad on cheap ssds. WOuld the kingspec ones from the popular auction site be BETTER than the mechanical...

Hi. I've got an old sony laptop (t1xp), 1ghz pentium with 1gb ram. the hard disk in it was a 40gb toshiba (same as the ipod used to use) and it was real slow so i just tried changing it with a 16gb 133x compact flash card. I know it's not the fastest, but i thought it would be at least as...

already checked with vaio's diagnostic tools. And I tried running the laptpop with just one of the modules, and then the other, and still happens. So I think the memory is ok.

I've read it and all it says for the "solution" is: This can't be my problem becuase I have just restored windows from the official recovery cds that came with the computer (which also means a fresh registry).
