Well, at least it wasn't doing it over Turlough.

In keeping with further political correctness, we would like to announce that we here in Kentucky prefer to be called "entities from areas of sparse populations predominantly in the Southern United States" instead of rednecks.

I think the most people ever in the TARDIS was during the Dalek Masterplan. So many people came and went in that story: the Doctor, Steven, Katarina, Bret Vyon, Sara Kingdom.

Bad joke time! They complained when they were asked if they said they wanted rum and cock...

Looks like I will probably have to do just that. I knew I had to restore back to what I call the Basic Systems Install, which is the entire execution of a massive TXT file of instructions of what to install and settings to set from a bottom up restore of the factory default partition. Things were looking well until I converted to NTFS. Goddamn shit, I hate it! Ever since I've converted, disc scans find two unusued partitions and random errors in the files and descriptors that appear in Windows but not in the scan before Windows starts. I'm a tad worried it's a FAT problem, but, how can I fix it if it only shows up in Windows and NTFS is not accessible outside of Windows?

It wasn't on writes, so, it must have been on an erase. And, it was fluke like in that it would show up here and there.

I just restored back from a 2 year old backup. I'd been avoiding it for a week. To put things into perspective, there were 70 plus Windows Updates. Microsoft fuckers!

As for when I got the FSCTL LOCK VOLUME, it wasn't during a burn, I don't think. I forget when it was, obviously had to do with something trying to lock the drive for read or write, of course. But, if it was a burn, I'd think I'd have gotten it more often.

It wouldn't run. Said "Incompatible hardware. This software is not supported on this chipset."

Okay, then, I'll just try to run it. If nothing happens, nothing happens.

I just happened to stumble across this. 8.0.1.1002 of the INF chipset software installation utility. That worked for this board and you directed me to it on Major Geeks or something like that. But, the last version listed on Intel's page for the D875PBZ board is 6.3.0.1008 dated almost 2 years ago. Thanks for the links! the 8.1.1 version is newer than mine and I probably wouldn't have found it because Intel's page of downloads for the D875 lists only the 6.3 version. BTW, LUK, I don't have a RAID setup, just 1 SATA HD installed. Should I still get the RAID/AHCI Software - Intel? Matrix Storage Manager 5.5.0.1035 1/5/2006 software? Thanks again!

Actually, can you tell me something I can do that might repeat this LOCK VOLUME issue? I didn't note what it was that caused it in the log below and I forget what it was I was doing. So I can test my drivers. I know my lack of knowledge is becoming embarrassing at this point but how would I check the version of/updates for the matrix storage driver and/or my filter drivers (silicon image). As... I'm not even entirely sure what all of these are... Thanks!

I guess I have the latest. All I found on the site of downloads for my mobo that seemed remotely close to it was the Chipset Software Installation Utility, and I believe I've installed those drivers already. Plus, they're almost 2 years old. Oh, wait, if that's what I'm looking for, didn't Major Geeks or something like that have an update Intel didn't have?

No, the filthy version was Animal Up Cracks. :&

And know nothink!

In a strange turn, Memorex's DVD+R discs don't seem to be anywhere near as low quality as their DVD-R CMC's.

If I remember my post correctly there was a Vista update in under 12 hours of Vista being on sale.

That's what my psychiatrist just said last Friday. I had looked up my condition before and it said one in every 200 Americans, so, I asked him if that value was correct. He said it was that rare and put it in comparison by saying 1 in every 3 Americans is diabetic. Now, granted, he's not a medical physician, but, he should be relatively knowledgeable enough. He knows the medical side effects of psychiatric medications. Also, when I first saw him, we discussed my back surgery and was competent enough to discuss it well enough that, to me, he knows what he's talking about on the medical side.

OKAY...

I've got ya all beat! I suffer from a condition only 1 in 200 Americans have. By contrast, 1 in every 3 has diabetes. Remember that film, A Beautiful Mind? About mathematician John Nash? Yep, I've got the same thing, now called schizoaffective bipolar disorder. I take 11 pills a day. Granted, that also includes my neuropathy, hypertension, and back pain medicine, plus 2 vitamins.

Yeah, with CMC's, and even with good media, a burn that completes is, unfortunately, not a reliable sign that the media it was burnt to is good. Memorex CMC's have, on a good day, a 20% success rate. However, if you are sure you were burning to CMC's BEFORE with 2.1, you were probably lucky they were okay. It is most likely just coincidence it happened with when you updated. Have you recently changed the brand of media you normally use? Even then, within a package of discs on its own, you can, sometimes, get mixed manufacturer ID's.

I was thinking more of the name telepaths have for normal humans in Babylon 5, but, that works, too.

We Betas sometimes wonder about you mundanes, too...

Oh, oh, ho, ho, ho! Ye so funny!

Yeah, they're the same .EXE and folder name. The only difference is the quotes and internally in the Registry their "names" although they are named the same in MSCONFIG. I forgot to mention, I was using a beta of ZA 7 so this is why I believe I have two entries and hence why I need to know which one. Of course, I could just remove each and test and I have a feeling that's what I'll be doing.
