Does anyone know or use a Sata controller card with this chipset that actually works? https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=121810 According to that, yes. Maybe the article will give you some clues. Hi Catweasle :) Good deal. I just wanted to make sure I was not going down a lost road here o...

I have always been a believer that the free market takes care of its own problems. Possibly, but it seems unlikely that we will ever know that for sure. On this planet, markets are controlled by those who have too much already, and solely for their own benefit. IMO, I think that the reason there is...

I tried an account when they first started. After seeing how they treat personal information in their rules I looked at deleting my account. I could not find a way so I just abandoned it. I do not use any social sites like others have posted. I do not understand the witch hunt on Old Zuck because in...

I dont use any of the social stuff online. However, Here is my opinion on the subject: When you join FB and other sites they do have a terms of service. Nobody reads it just like installing that MS software. So, They basically give away your rights when you hop on sites like FB. Its not really FB's ...

Disk2VHD is what you need. I've used it with XP and Win 7... I've no access to Win 10. There's plenty of info online about using it... Here's one that's Win 10 specific, though I've only used the .vhds on Virtualbox. Hi Chris, I have seen references to that. I will have to look into it. I appreciat...

I don't care to have a Surface or anything else from Microsoft. I honestly do not know why anybody would use any of their junk if there's any way to avoid it.

Amen.

It amazes me too. Sometimes I think this world is getting dumber as we get older.

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone here make that backing-up beeping noise while archiving their files, or am I the only one?

lol,

How about a bash script that runs rsync for backups and plays the backup warning?

When I installed Mint on a computer for my brother, I found a program, from Microsoft I believe, to back up the Win7 install, and I was able to run that in VirtualBox. It's barely usable, but it constantly complains about drivers. Don't know if it works with Win10 or not. I understand VMWare has pr...

thank you for the answers. but that's not really what I asked, the solutions I've seen posted are all SATA and mostly 3.5inches I'm looking for a switch for M.2 PCIe. I guess I described at the best of my knowledge what I'm trying to achieve. If I was looking for a sata switch I would go with this:...

This is what you need:

separate on/off controls for each drive. Hot swap bays (5). Lots of room on the inside but the case is not huge like a lot of rack mount cases.

I just thought I would ask as I am trying to do some recovery and thought it might be an option.

I appreciate the feedback on this. Thanks!

Has anyone been able to import a live windows 10 with EFI into a Virtualbox VM? I understand the licensing issue but only need to get into it once and grab some files. I cannot mount the user partition because of bitlocker. A client dropped this off to me. I did install dislocker and prepared to use...

I typically backup to a server raid. I have an older 6 core AMD that runs a RAID5 (mdadm) and I typically throw important stuff on that. I also have my home directory on a Mirrored set. I run the main O/S on a SSD. I need to automate my backups. Glad this thread was started to remind me. I will use ...

Nice to hear from others that feel the same way I do about this lame operating system that M$ pushes. :) Just learned today that by default when you first get your new lovely windows 10 computer that bitlocker is on by default and if you forget your login credentials then you are SOL. Cannot even mo...

Since your laptop is not sitting in front of me I will take a guess as to what the most likely problem is: When you were replacing the drive some evil dust clumps fell into the cooling vents and partially or fully clogged them. I would take the laptop apart if you can and feel comfortable doing it, ...

Ive hit this issue before with upgrades of virtualbox. The problem is that the driver for VB in the kernel does not match up with what is installed. I got this when upgrading a kernel and using an older version of VB then the kernel. What I did was make sure I had the newest kernel and then download...

Its so nice to be able to come to this forum and not be inundated with political talk or personal bashing. I have to also echo others that have said that some other linux forums are not as friendly at all. I think the thing to remember is that when you come to the forums here you are a guest at some...

Does anybody have any experience with drive pooling? What would they recommend? I would strongly recommend hardware RAID. You can pick up an Adaptec 8 Port ASR-6805T RAID card ( like this ) for well under $US100. A few dollars more will get you one like this with SATA cables. Really, if your data i...

I did with the 2.0.36 kernel. Puts me about 1996.

Thanks. Now I feel really old!
