845EMAX2-LR - Info and Opinions Please

Hi All
I'm looking to change my mainboard, and this one seems to fit the bill.
However, it is unclear to me from the website exactly what features this board has. Could someone here clarify?
ATA 133 RAID?
Onboard LAN?
Onboard Sound?
Also, any reviews you can direct me to or personal opinions would be appreciated. Oh, and does it work fine with the GF4-Ti4200 from MSI too?
Thanks!

LR indicates lan and raid all have sound

A135-S2326 replacing hard drive (bad sectors) Need advice and opinions Please

Hi, (note pic below of my computers actual specs from this morning)
I have a Satellite A135-S2326. It has the max memory at 2GB, it came with 512 and I upgraded to 2GB. It runs Windows Vista Home Edition...
Anyhow, it accidentally fell off my bed a few days ago (darn dogs) and damaged my hard drive. Boot problems, errors, bad sectors, etc. I have tried everything to fix and to no avail. While I am currently using it I know I need to replace the hard drive ASAP before I can't turn it on at all one day... I am now saving all my files and stuff I need off of it to an external drive. The laptop did not come with a windows Vista restore CD so I am using Acronis software to make an image of the hard disc, hopefully it will work and I won't have to purchase my own copy of windows Vista.
Some questions I have are:
1.) Is it possible to upgrade the hard drive to a faster one / better one when I replace?
     The hard drive that came preinstalled is a Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00 80GB, which I believe from spec's documentation is a 5400RPM Serial- ATA ???
     What is the max size I can get for replacement and what is the max RPM, or do I HAVE to use a 5400RPM???
     What do you suggest?
2.) I have a copy of windows XP Professional w/SP2. Is it possible to put this windows XP Pro.w/SP2 on a fresh hard drive in the Satellite A135-S2326? If so, is there a different hard drive that I must have to do that? Also if an XP install is possible on a new hard drive, which drivers must I have for this laptop when I do it??
3.) And finally, could this laptop handle windows 7 business? Only asking because I can get a VERY cheap copy of windows 7 business from my school...I'm in college at DeVry and can get a copy of Windows 7 delivered to my door in 2 weeks for less then $30.00. So thought that MAY be an option....??? Not sure if my other spec's can handle it though???
4.) What would you suggest I do with the options I have, what is best thing to do in your opinion??
      Please see pic below of my actual computers specs from this morning, using Belarc Advisor...
Thank you in advance
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
Urgently waiting replies,

You can use ANY 2.5" SATA hard drive of any size in that system. I would recommend one of the Western Digital Scorpio BLue's as they are reliable and offer good performance.
If it runs Vista it will run Windows 7. I would wait a bit before trying Win7 though as Toshiba hasn't released all of the Windows 7 drivers yet.
As for Windows XP, while it is possible to install XP on that system (and quite easily for that matter) Toshiba doesn't provide any of the XP drivers needed to get it to run properly. You could determine all of the various chipsets the system uses and go to each chipsat manufacturer's support site to see if they provide an XP driver to get it working, but I don't guarantee that they have all of the needed drivers. If you do decide to go ahead with this let me know and I'll post the directions for installing XP onto a SATA hard drive that doesn't ahve a floppy drive.
Right now your best choice is to replace the old hard drive and restore the system from your Acronis image. When ALL of the Windows 7 drivers become available you could install it in a dual boot configuration to determine if you prefer it or not. It is both a step up and a step back from Windows Vista. Some people will like it while others won't. Only you will be able to determine which you prefer.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Need info and opinions!

Ok, I have to first say that I love 10.6.4, its a great OS. Now, that being said, I also find Ubuntu 10.04 to be very useful to me, my question to the community is this, should I continue to use Parallels or should I dual boot my MacBook?
Parallels has been ok for me so far, but it has its limitations. Also, will the boot camp assistant work with Ubuntu 10.04? Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
if you run into limitations with Parallels I personally would say that it is time to go for the Dual-Boot.
The Ubuntu community has a very helpful site here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
The BootCamp Assistant might come in handy to nondestructively partition your harddisk into two partitions, one for OSX and one for Ubuntu.
Apart from that it won't help you with the Ubuntu installation or any kind of drivers.
And to have a backup of your OSX might come in handy as well, just in case.
Regards
Stefan

HT1766 Restoring my phone caused me to loose important info and pictures please help

I had to restore my phone settings and as a result I lost my most recent text messages and photos, can I get these back? And how. Some of the items I lost were very important to me and really need them back urgently. Any help would be greatly appreciated

- Restore from backup. For how see:
iOS: How to back up
- Note the backup dos not include photos synced to the iPod
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is?

Pondini,
Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is? I'm stuck in the "Preparing Backup" phase for what must be hours now. My last successful backup was this morning at 7:16 am. I did do a series of Software Update this morning, one of which, a security update I believe, required a restart.
I'm confused as to what the issue is, and how to get everything back to "it just works".
Many thanks in advance.

Time Machine can't read some data it needs from your backups (each of those date-stamps is one of your backups).
That's usually a problem with the drive itself, but could be the directory on it. First be sure all plugs are snug and secure, then see if you can repair it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, post back with the results. Also either tell us what kind of Mac you have, what version of OSX you're running, or post that to your Profile, so it's accessible.
This is unrelated to the original post here, so I'm going to ask the Hosts to split it off into a new thread. Since you've posted in the Lion forum, I'll assume that's what you're running. You should get a notice from them

I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please help

I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please helpand also note that my hard drive was formatted on a Windows 7 Laptop.

thats the problem, its in MSDos (Fat) or NTFS for Windows.
Options.....
1. offload all that data on the HD onto your PC, THEN format the HD in EXFAT for use on BOTH PC and Mac for read/write.....then reload all (or as you need) that data back onto the HD
2. get another HD, and format it for Mac OSX extended journaled.
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
Maximum file size: 4GB.
Maximum volume size: 2TB
You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
NTFS (Windows NT File System)
Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
Maximum file size: 16 TB
Maximum volume size: 256TB
You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
Maximum file size: 8EiB
Maximum volume size: 8EiB
You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
EXFAT (FAT64) ------Can read/write from both PC and Mac
Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
Not all Windows versions support exFAT.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
Maximum file size: 16 EiB
Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive. See "disadvantages" for details.

The TIme Machine volume does not have that checkbox.
I think the issue is with your Finder...
Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

Is the replacement exactly the same as the original ie same memory size & same version? If so it may require updating the OS software before trying to restore your stuff from the backup.

CSS General Tips and Tricks, Please if you can add to this, thanks

I thought of some general guidelines in CSS and XHTML, please feel free to add some more if you think i missed, thanks in advance !
No Empty Divs
Use text-indents in hyperlinks for images and images background so that the div does not remain empty
Even if you have a division marker that contains a backgrounds and is embedding another inner-container (or any other reason), use a text-indent:-9999px so that it does not appear empty. This misuse has led to many misinterpretations by search engines
Validate your codes on W3C
Even if there is a warning, there’s always this possibility to wipe it out and write the right piece of code for it.
No Ids! Classes & inheritance
We’re in 2010 now ladies, things have changed and now it’s the new era. Like for me, it was quite a bite that day I got those slaps (uhh… let’s call that e-slaps for the sake of this article) from my boss, who clearly mentioned the important generic methodologies of using inheritance techniques in everything we do… And that included CSS my oh my..
Besides, even if you are using ids, make sure that they are unique and that they are not being duplicated elsewhere on your page. That’s the good thing with the W3C validator: it doesn’t miss those
Comment your lines of codes
There are many advantages for this, the major one I’m considering is to help situate the programmer in line who will be taking your codes elsewhere. It’s a form of diplomacy, hence good practice.
No Styling in your html pages: out!
It’s better to transfer all the related style, with comments alongside on your generic style sheet
Insert Images on web pages only if necessary
Whenever there is an opportunity not to insert an image as an <img src>, do it; the best practice is to load it as a background image and if possible use write any text that’s ever found on the image instead of importing the image from photoshop or any app you’re using down to tyou
Anti-aliasing of gif images for better image quality
I have this luck of having a chief who knows quite a sleek stuffs in photoshop and image rendering techniques and that includes gif images.
Integrators love gifs: light, minimal use of colors.. when they’res no curves in any way, but what about transparency ?
There are possibilities to avoid the use of pngs, which are usually heavier and take quite some time to load. Sometimes when gifs are being exported, codes or designers forget the background image on which the gif will be laid onto. That is why anti-aliasing techniques are very important for keeping the design intact.
use overflow: hidden instead of clear:both
More information can be found on this link:
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html
To brief a bit, using clear is like ol’ school teaching stuff which was the fast-driven solution while the overflow:hidden seems to satisfy the major browsers like MSIE, FFx , Chrome, etc…
Minimise the use of style sheets
Avoid using different style sheets for different browsers. Use one generic style sheet, unless you have different themes for different pages, but that depends. All this creates confusion and that might also mean you are not be using the right html codes and the right css styles
To minimise the use of multiple style sheets, use:
i.e. <!–[if IE 6]><div id=”IE6″><![endif]–>
Validate your css codes on http://jigsaw.w3.org
Jigsaw is the CSS passport for integrators. I never knew it, but now O I know !
It’s the haven. The hide in our line of business. It’s what keeps our ego hmmm strong and heavily proud, the reason why integrators are so needed in the web business.
* Squeak *
Always have this final habit to validate your css in the following link
http://jigsaw.w3.org/ to make sure that you are in line with your css standards. Even if there are warnings, that would mean you are wrongly interpreting your css codes or that some styles have been duplicated here and there.
Conclusion
That’s all for now folks. I think , whenever I’ll have some more time, I’d probably create a CSS tips and tricks Part 2, cos amending what’s already there would sound so cheap and it’s not like facebook, uhh Sheran changed that article, etc..
It’s good to have some feedbacks and all, well, that’s probably interesting to know what’s out in the CSS jungle, so jot in some lines, criticise, be blunt and bold and don’t hesitate to contact me (except ma okes at work, you know who you are, ladies) for any info ya need
À La Prochaine !

use CSS, it will save you time no matter how much DW does things automatically for you
if you don't know how it's done, ask or view source. css is client side code and can be viewed.
use divs instead of tables for layouts
firefox has a great plugin called HTML Validator (http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/). you don't have to keep going to the w3c website to validate. when viewing your page within firefox it will validate it and tell you any errors and warnings. saves me a lot of time. it's also great if you're development environment is behind a firewall - you won't have to view source, copy & paste onto w3c validator. they don't have support for html5 yet
this could be more of style and preference but i use multiple files of css. usually 2 or 3. one is for the layout (layout.css), one is for forms (form.css) and one for display data. anything more can become more work when it's time to make any changes, especially with multiple people working on the same project
create a standard workflow. naming conventions for file names, class names, etc.
i'm not sure you can get away from those IE specific css. i've tried a campaign at work to not support IE so that we become fully compliant with the web but unfortunately, IE still has a lot of users. what we've done is support IE but the latest versions only. M$ is at least getting better with being compatible.
view the page in firefox and IE. if they work, then you should be fine with the other browsers. as a developer, it's my responsibility to ensure that any user whether mac or pc can view the website - as long as they are running the "latest" version of the browser. latest as in what the software developer still supports.
well that's my tips, tricks and a little pet peeve here and there

Lost all album info and cannot retrieve it!!!

I purchased my first ipod nano (4gb) and have spent absolutely ages transferring music and saving from cds onto my laptop (wimdows vista) and purchasing from itunes store. Then, all the album info has been lost! I've tried to 'Get album info' and had friends who use itunes with their ipods but no one knows what to do. Can anybody help me please?

Thanks for the clarification, Shaney boy.
Although it still strikes me as a very unusual situation. Because in addition to the Song Names themselves, the Artist and Album names (along with a variety of other information) are all stored in the actual music files.
And offhand I can't imagine why that information would either disappear from the files or become non-existant as far as iTunes is concerned.
Just a few questions:
I'm assuming the CD's were imported with iTunes, can you confirm whether or not that is the case?
Is it just the information that is disappearing, i.e., are the Artist and Album columns still there and all blank or have the columns themselves disappeared?
Do you - at least temporarily - get the lost information back when you highlight the tracks and go to the iTunes Advanced menu > Get CD Track Names?
Whatever the case, perhaps if you post a screenshot of your iTunes Library display, as per Hudgie's User Tip , it will provide us with some clue as to what might be going on.
