I want to upgrade my harddrive on my laptop. I'm not sure if it's SATA I or SATA II and I'm wondering how can I check if it's SATA II compatible. I am using a HP dv6500t
I just ran sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade through PuTTY (SSH Client) on my Laptop, which was directed at my fresh Ubuntu server. Unfortunately I just realized I need to be out of the house with my Laptop and I'm worried that by exiting my SSH client or having my Laptop disconnect form the internet that the server won't continue updating!
What will happen if I turn my Laptop off now that the server is updating?!
I just upgraded a Vista machine to Windows 7. The machine is running Outlook 2007 SP2 with the KB970944 performance hot fix.
Now, syncing to the Exchange server can take 20 minutes, whereas it was very fast before the Windows 7 upgrade. I believe we're running Exchange 2003, but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes yet?

We recently upgraded from SQL Server 2008R2 to SQL Server 2012 Enterprise. After doing this I noticed that our DB backups were barely compressing at all. Our 22gb DB was compressing down to about 4gb before upgrading to 2012 and after the upgrade our 22gb DB is only compressing down to 19gb. I've checked and double checked the compression setting on the server and all of my backup jobs and compression is turned on. Any ideas on what may be going on?
I have a LaCie 2big Network that currently has 2 500GB drives in it (mirror).
I'd like to upgrade the drives to 1TB each using something like this
I know that Lacie sells a 1TB drive designed for the 2big Network but it would seem to me that these drives are standard drives with the Lacie holder included.
Do I need to use their drives or can I get my own? (Their customer support pushes me towards their drives) I'm assuming the device can format the drives for me when I add them in.
We have a file share in our small office (3-5 users). We now have the need for the files to be accessible outside of the office.
I like the idea of dropbox - we have been using it for small remote sharing. If we buy the upgrade account, and move 30 to 70 gigs of files to it, will every user have to have the pro account?
I have submitted this question to dropbox - but thought that the advice of users here would also be valuable
I'm just doing a VMWare Workstation 8 installation. However, on trying to boot (or create) a VM, it's reporting "Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid."
It recommends reinstalling, which I've done.
Also, VMWare Player just hangs.
Was going to post on the VMWare forums, but can't seem to create a new discussion (even though I've registered/logged in).
It's our own fault for being too eager to upgrade, I guess.
I'm planning to upgrade a notebook PC to a Solid-State Flash Drive (SSD) soon. I want to use the notebook before that and am considering installing Windows 7 on the hard disk (spinning variety, 5400rpm) before I get the SSD.
To save time I am wondering if I can ghost/clone the installation of Windows 7 from the hard drive and put on the SSD.
Would the performance of this clone from the harddisk onto the SSD be different from starting again and reinstalling Windows 7 from scratch on the SSD?

When I upgrade or reinstall linux I backup my home folder by running sudo cp -pr /home/users/yitzchak /media/externalHDD/backups. When I do this I get errors saying that permissions could not be preserved and when I copy the folder back onto my local disk I see that ownership has been changed to root and I have to chown all of them back, which has to be done manually piecemeal because not all files have the same group. Is there any way around that?
2 x Intel Xeon-Woodcrest 5130-DualCore
2GB RAM
Ubuntu 10.04.0-64
In the worst case this box will be serving ~300 people requesting ~700 images at the same time. The images are around 5K each.
I can upgrade or change the machine if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks!
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 beta 1. When I try to update & upgrade I get the following error:

dpkg: error processing install-info (--configure):

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Internet Explorer 7 uses a rather crude method to resize images by default. There's a CSS tag img { -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; } to get better results, but I'm unable to change the source of the page. IE8 uses the better method as the default, but this is a corporate environment that is unable to upgrade at this moment.
Is there anything in the options or a registry hack to change the default resizing mode in IE7?
Hello
Imagine you're using Photoshop, SQL Server, Visual Studio, Winrar, and any other installed software on Windows Vista.
What will happen to them if you upgrade you Windows Vista to Windows 7.
Are they still there? Or it's necessary to reinstall all softwares again?
I am using Xampp for a local dev server, I am trying to upgrade it so I can use the latest version of PHP.
I had it installed in my c drive c:\webserver\php
I just installed everything new in a new drive D
d:\webserver\php
I then boot everything up and then I run phpinfo() and it is still showing my old version of PHP and even points to the old php installation C:\webserver\php\php.ini
Am I missing something obvious here?
Every time I run a java application, one of two things happen:
Either I lose sound in all other programs (even after quitting the java app)
or if some other application is already playing sound, the said java app doesn't have sound
Usually this can be fixed by running pulseaudio --kill from the command line, but it doesn't always work.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
This didn't happen before the upgrade to karmic.
Other info:
The java I'm using is Sun's Java
I know that apple doesn't sell macbooks (just the vanilla, white macbook, not the pro models) with 8 gb of RAM but I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade one to 8 gb of RAM. Anyone done it?
We're looking at possibly upgrading to Exchange 2010. Just wondering that if many other companies have done so, and if so, what the compelling features were for them in order to upgrade

I have a small AD in which I am deploying software to domain computers through GPO (using msi installers).
What is the best method to deploy software that
has no .msi installer,
but has switches for silent installs
All I can think is to use startup scripts (that will do detect-install/uninstall/upgrade), but I was wondering if there are existing wheel designs in this area...
NOTE:
I'd like to avoid repackaging to .msi format (unless someone convinces me otherwise).
Some examples of software that I would like to deploy
picasa 3
VLC
300mbps sounds wonderful, but not with my horrible Comcast internet connection.
I doubt there's an internet connection in America that even hits 54mbps. So I'm guessing that the only reason someone would be inclined to upgrade is for faster data transfer within the local network.
With my internet connection where download rates are rarely ever above a few hundred kilobytes a second, would I even see any improvement in switching from 802.11g to 802.11n?
Hi all,
I'm considering to upgrade to a Google Docs Premium Account (gDrive)?
I'm wondering if that can be used as I'm using Amazon S3 at the moment. I'd like to upload images.
Do you know if there is there any limit on the number of images I can upload on my 200GB
Google Docs account?
I think it could be really useful to have something like that and we could save some money on our webapps.
Thank you ;)
