I recently installed a firmware update on a Seagate Momentus (ST9750420AS) drive and everything looked fine. But after rebooting the BIOS can’t see it. The drive simply spins up and gives two long chirps. Is there any way for me to restore the older firmware? I’ve never messed with a hard drive P...
At the least before messing with the hardwares software a backup would have been smart. then it could just go straight to the trash :-) when that didnt work.
People were locking in default overclocks into GPU firmware . and mentally i am thinking ohh boy what happens if it no longer reaches this overclock. good luck re-flashing it when it wont even post. On one side i want to say "think about the ramifications" on the other side i want to say "Tell us how that works out a year later" so i can then laugh.
It was so easy to instead software overclock it at a will and a whim, and have that retracted back to defaults at any time.
(and my systems happen to have tools installed by default which would let me remote in and/or download files remotely and/or change display resolution and such. In case
Something like that "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\Software\Fontsset LogPixels=dword:<your desired DPI>" is more my speed. For windows 7 must reboot.
one of my Amazon AWS instances got hacked and started DDoSing things on Saturday :/ had to terminate the instance... it wasn't really doing anything important anyway, and I don't think it had any personal information on it
fortunately none of my other AWS instances seem to be impacted
Everything was too large to be able to modify the DPI in the slider in the control panel.
I went to the registry to
HKCU/Control Panel/Desktop and changed 'LogPixels' to 120 (it was at 480).
Logging out and logging back in fixed the issue.
@JourneymanGeek Oh, apparently "European Digital Download EP"... not in the album though
I normally only keep full albums

lol, the dude thinks it special to fill up from the tap? he would probably be aghast to see me filling from the top of the toilet :-) It is fresh running water .
I have hiked up mountains in 105*F weather before, and running out of water, as there was no live streams found at that time. They say "sucking on a rock" will keep your mouth from drying out. Well it doesnt freaking work.
I was chatting to a guy on a site, and the chat went wrong when I wrote a few wrong words by mistake. He then threatened that he will send my every detail to the vigilant team and soon my address will be known. He then showed me my IP address, the Windows version I am using, the browser, and othe...

when I tell it to install on disk1 it says the disk does not contain a compatible windows XP partition, in disk management it lists one partition and its NTFS I did install debian before onto disk1 but I used diskpart clean and the format utility on the disk. I initialized it and selected 'MBR' in diskmgmt too and ran bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot.
@snipe people have some trouble (sometimes) when using a linux style partitioning tools to attempt to run in windows. for the present error that you have, could you use windows tools to do windows partioning?
Don't they even give you access in the bios of the thing to change to old compatability modes for the hard disk? I guess for them it means there is only one possible problem there, but it sure makes going backwards a lot harder.
Ugh. I had to set up a VM to test a timezone-related issue with our software. So, obviously, Windows 7 requires 180 updates after installation and installing them makes the VM almost unusable
And now I even get this:
…from installing Windows updates on a 2 GB RAM VM
The annoyance level is off the charts right now
I thought I was being smart when I prepared this application to work with different locales right from the start, but I neglected to properly respect different timezones. And. I gotta say, this really takes the fucking cake
Well, if you need, I have a .VBS script to automatically download and install updates, and it uses a caching proxy server if you have one available. Let me know and I'll link it to you
@CanadianLuke Thanks, but I don't even know why I bothered to install any updates to begin with. They're hardly necessary to work on this issue; just a habit
@psychogeek NM, I just have to remove the WIN10 drive and install XP in MBR mode, having the windows 10 drive means its EFI which XP does not recognize.
@snipe: Its fast on a VM too. Its not terribly secure. It lacks many modern conveniences. We're coming to the point where software explicitly dosen't support it.
