    Recovering data from a wet drive

    Just thought I would post back the results. Pulled the data from the drive no problem. Not sure how wet the laptop got, it was in a laptop bag in a few inches of water. It was standing on end so I think the majority of the components were probably kept dry. Didn't try booting the laptop up...

    Recovering data from a wet drive

    I have got the laptop open but it seems dry already. I don't have a seal-able bag to fit it in with rice so it will just have to stand. Not too worried about the laptop just the data. I believe the laptop is covered under the insurance but will have to be sent away to be PAT tested. My...

    Recovering data from a wet drive

    Thanks for the tips. I have put the drive in a bag of rice and it is sitting on a warm radiator. To be honest when I took it apart it all appears to be dry. No moisture so maybe its dried out already. I should have probably used some silica gel packs but they don't have those in the...

    Recovering data from a wet drive

    Amazon EC2 Webserver not running PHP

    I have setup an Amazon EC2 instance for a webserver using the Amazon Linux AMI which I think is based on CentOS. I cannot seem to get php to run in any of the webserver subdirectories. All I get rendered in the web browser is the php contents. php runs ok in /var/www/html/ but no sub...

    Startup business server or saas

    Thanks for you input. I want to make the right choice early on rather than go down a route and get stuck with something that would be hard to migrate from. There is a vast array of SAAS tools out there. Just had a look at Teamworkpm and that looks pretty good. Maybe I should trial a few to...

    Startup business server or saas

    There is a good chance I will start working freelance this year and am looking at how to better manage my workflow and data. I have previously worked with the usual Microsoft tools with a network share and various folders. In this day and age this seems pretty archaic. Essentially the...

    I really like that. Thanks for explaining how the picture was taken and processed. Very helpful for the less experienced of us.

    SATA to IDE Converter not working on Gigabyte M68MT-S2

    I bought a Gigabyte M68MT-S2 & new processor from OCUK not so long ago to replace an old board. Problem was there are no IDE connections on the board so I have bought SATA to IDE converters. However I have tried with two different types and neither of them work. Depending which IDE device...

    Slow internet speed with Ubuntu but not with Windows

    Ah ha.... Think that may have just done the trick! Still a little slow but at least pages now resolve rather than fail. Thanks. I have a feeling I may have the OpenDNS nameservers setup in the network profile on the Windows OS so this would explain it... Is it worth re-enabling all off...

    Slow internet speed with Ubuntu but not with Windows

    Followed the guide here http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/05/how-to-disable-ipv6-under-ubuntu.html to disable ipv6. It has not made a blind bit of difference. :(
