Boots to cursor with maxtor HD ?

Okay lets see if i can get this all right:
KT4AV
Xp 3000
ATI Raedon 9550
Maxtor 40 G ultra ATA 100
Mushkin 3200 DDR
Enermax 350 W PS
Anyway I just built this PC with these components and im having a litle problem:
It posts, i can go into bios and all that jazz, but when i try to load the os it just sits there with a blinking cursor, i tried another hd like an old 10g i had sitting around with NT server on it, and it booted right up. I tried all the jumper settings on the maxtor but still just boots to a blinking cursor and sits there. On the D i get 123 green and 4 has no light, what does that mean... I tried the maxtor (drive in question) on another PC and there's nothing wrong with it, tests fine. I think it's somthing to do with bios but not sure, anybody have some advice ?

First of all thanks for getting back all that replied...
-Uhhh lets see the HD is first and only device on IDE 1
and the boot order is maxtor, then the CD-RW drive which is on IDE 2 it's alone as well. I dont have a floppy botting up yet as my other is FUBAR.
-This HD does have two jumper settings, i will check with maxtor after this....
Like i said earlier the Bios can see the drive but cant do anything with it hmmmm
-The mushkin, since it worked on one HD but not the other, and booted into NT it should be good correct ?
-The maxtor has XP pro it worked fine with my other system, no complications, all updates ect ect ect.
I dont think the Size of the drive should have effect on the bios i mean it's only a 40G, but who knows.
Well anything you can think of that might help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guyz

Won't boot, blinking cursor, F8 doesn't work

I have a laptop with a Windows 7 and Debian Linux dual boot configuration and the Windows partition doesn't boot anymore. I just get a black screen with blinking cursor and no disk activity. F8, F5 and tab don't do anything, and cause it to beep if I keep
pressing them. This is on a BIOS system with MBR partitioning. So far I've tried:
chkdsk c: /f /r /b and sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows -- neither found any errors.
bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot -- this restored the default Windows bootloader and made it go directly to the blank screen without the GRUB menu.
bcdboot c:\windows /s c: -- tried with and without the "/s C:" and tried deleting C:\boot first. Neither had any effect.
Backed up and deleted all partition table entries other than C: (note, this system didn't have a System Reserved partition). Repeated bootrec and bcdboot commands. No change.
I am about ready to back everything up and do a fresh install, but I'm really curious as to what could be screwed up here. I feel I have a moderate understanding of the NT 6 early boot process. I've remade everything up through Boot Manager, which should
at least get me a boot selection menu with F8, but I'm getting nothing.
Here is output from bcdedit /enum all after all of this:

Thanks for your reply. I actually have the Linux side of it under control. At present, to simplify things for fixing Windows, I've used dd to save the first few dozen sectors of my drive, deleted partitions other than the Windows one, and restored the
Microsoft bootloader. So long as I don't create new partitions in that "free" space, I can bring back my Linux and Grub simply by restoring those backed up sectors.
I'd like to get Windows working again and then restore the Linux stuff. At this point I am probably just going to do a fresh install, but I would love to know what can go wrong and cause this. MBR, PBR, C:\bootmgr and everything in C:\boot have been re-created
fresh and should be fine. AFAIK this much ought to get me at least a boot menu when I press F8 regardless of the state of the rest of the Windows system.
For Linux backup I usually just use tar and manually remake partition tables and install Grub should I need to restore the backup. For Windows I often use ntfsclone, which works similarly to Acronis or Ghost, only copying sectors that
are in use. I've actually successfully backed up and restored Windows XP before using just tar, mkfs.ntfs and ms-sys, though system and read-only attributes were lost, and I haven't tested it on Vista, 7 or 8.

Back up strategy with Maxtor OneTouch II

I just bought Maxtor OneTouch II 300GB. I need help with the backup strategy with or without Retrospect. The external Maxtor should be used for storage and backup.
My questions, since the instructions and Help in Retrospect are confusing:
When I want to first backup the entire startup disk can I simply drag it to Maxtor on the Desktop or should I use Retrospect?
In Retrospect, should I use "Removable Disk" or "File"?
How long does it take with Maxtor FW 800 ? I've got 70GB startup disk to copy. Is it hours?
Can the copied volume on external disk be used as startup disk?
I would appreciate your experience.

I suggest you use Disk utility to partition the drive so you have a space large enough for your boot drive. Then use carbon copy cloner, which you can find from versiontracker.com to "clone" your boot drive to the partition. you need to use a program like this, because various files needed to create a "boot drive" are hidden.
please note, the best back-ups are completely disconnected from all computers and power sources. Just something to consider.

Need to increase performance-bulk collect in cursor with limit and in the for loop inserting into the trigger table

Hi all,
I have a performance issue in the below code,where i am trying to insert the data from table_stg into target_tab and in parent_tab tables and then to child tables via cursor with bulk collect .the target_tab and parent_tab are huge tables and have a row wise trigger enabled on it .the trigger is mandatory . This timetaken for this block to execute is 5000 seconds.Now my requirement is to reduce it to 5 to 10 mins.
can someone please guide me here.Its bit urgent .Awaiting for your response.

Its bit urgent
NO - it is NOT urgent. Not to us.
If you have an urgent problem you need to hire a consultant.
I have a performance issue in the below code,
Maybe you do and maybe you don't. How are we to really know? You haven't posted ANYTHING indicating that a performance issue exists. Please read the FAQ for how to post a tuning request and the info you need to provide. First and foremost you have to post SOMETHING that actually shows that a performance issue exists. Troubleshooting requires FACTS not just a subjective opinion.
where i am trying to insert the data from table_stg into target_tab and in parent_tab tables and then to child tables via cursor with bulk collect .the target_tab and parent_tab are huge tables and have a row wise trigger enabled on it .the trigger is mandatory . This timetaken for this block to execute is 5000 seconds.Now my requirement is to reduce it to 5 to 10 mins.
Personally I think 5000 seconds (about 1 hr 20 minutes) is very fast for processing 800 trillion rows of data into parent and child tables. Why do you think that is slow?
Your code has several major flaws that need to be corrected before you can even determine what, if anything, needs to be tuned.
This code has the EXIT statement at the beginning of the loop instead of at the end
    FETCH stg_cursor BULK COLLECT INTO v_rt_all_cols LIMIT limit_in;
              vstep_no := '4';
              vtable_nm := 'after fetch';
--EXIT WHEN v_rt_all_cols.COUNT = 0;
    EXIT WHEN stg_cursor%NOTFOUND;
The correct place for the %NOTFOUND test when using BULK COLLECT is at the END of the loop; that is, the last statement in the loop.
You can use a COUNT test at the start of the loop but ironically you have commented it out and have now done it wrong. Either move the NOTFOUND test to the end of the loop or remove it and uncomment the COUNT test.
WHEN OTHERS THEN
ROLLBACK;
That basically says you don't even care what problem occurs or whether the problem is for a single record of your 10,000 in the collection. You pretty much just throw away any stack trace and substitute your own message.
Your code also has NO exception handling for any of the individual steps or blocks of code.
The code you posted also begs the question of why you are using NAME=VALUE pairs for child data rows? Why aren't you using a standard relational table for this data?
As others have noted you are using slow-by-slow (row by row processing). Let's assume that PL/SQL, the bulk collect and row-by-row is actually necessary.
Then you should be constructing the parent and child records into collections and then inserting them in BULK using FORALL.
1. Create a collection for the new parent rows
2. Create a collection for the new child rows
3. For each set of LIMIT source row data
a. empty the parent and child collections
b. populate those collections with new parent/child data
c. bulk insert the parent collection into the parent table
d. bulk insert the child collection into the child table
And unless you really want to either load EVERYTHING or abandon everything you should use bulk exception handling so that the clean data gets processed and only the dirty data gets rejected.

Can you use a custom cursor with drag and drop?

Hi there! I'm a newbie flash user and working on a simulation for a graduate course in instructional design. I'm using Flash Professional CC on Mac. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have several draggable sprites on the stage and three target sprites. I have specified the original x,y locations of the sprites and have set the end x,y locations as those of each of the three targets. Items must be dragged to one of the three targets.
Some questions:
1. Can I specify more than one End x,y location for a draggable sprite? I'm creating a lesson to teach kindergartners how to sort lunchroom waste. If they have a napkin, for example, it could either go into the compost OR into the recycling. In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.
2. To make my project more "fun" for kids, I wanted to customize the cursor with a graphic of hand. When I tried this in the flash file it works perfectly until I add the drag and drop functionality for the wasted items. Then the cursor will more around but not pick up any items. Once I revert back to the standard pointer, the correct drag and drop functionality is restored.
3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
4. I've watched dozens of hours of youtube tutorials before coming here. I'm a quick study, but am very new to action script. In one of the videos the developer showed referencing an external action script file which I don't think is an option in CC. The coding method he used seemed much more streamlined and "clean" than the chunks I'm working with now. Is there an easy way for me to code information about these objects than the way I've got it here now? I hate starting new things with bad habits. The perils of self-teaching.
Thanks!

Some questions:
1. Can I specify more than one End x,y location for a draggable sprite?
yes, use an if-else statement
I'm creating a lesson to teach kindergartners how to sort lunchroom waste. If they have a napkin, for example, it could either go into the compost OR into the recycling. In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.

assign your cursor's mouseEnabled property to false:
yourcursor.mouseEnabled=false;
3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
use the sound class to create a sound:
// initialize your correct sound once with
var correctSound:Sound=new CorrectSound(); // add an mp3 sound to your library and assign it class = CorrectSound
// apply the play() method everytime you want your sound to play:
correctSound.play();
// change an object's opacity:
someobject.alpha = .3; // partially visible
someobject.alpha = 1; // fully visible
someobject.visible=false; // not visible, at all.
// change an object's scale
someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=.5; // shink width and height by 2
someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=1; // resize to original

you could google:
actionscript 3 class coding

p.s. you can simplify and streamline your coding by learning about arrays and using hitTestObject.

I can not control my cursor with the trackpad. It moves randomly. It began after an Angry Birds update. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a late 2011 OS X Lion 10.7.4 that is only 6 months old. For the first 4 months I had no problems, but then about 6 weeks ago I downloaded an Angry Birds update from the Apple App Store, and my problems began. When playing Angry Birds the the new Angry Birds update for the first time the cursor began to jump around, moving on it's own as if someone else was controlling it. After a few moments I became obvious I could not control the cursor with the trackpad. When I placed the tip of my finger gently in the center of the trackpad to try to hold the cursor still it becan switching from the game (desktop) to launchpad and mission control. I then put the computer down so I was not even touching it, walked several feet away and the cursor still moved on it's own.
I've done a lot of research over the last few weeks on related articles and realized this is a common problem with numerous different causes: PRAM settings,
screen sharing, remote settings, having fingers accidently touch edges of trackpad, writst resting too close to trackpad, swollen battery, etc. and I don't think it's due to any of those issues.
The problem came out of nowhere. My computer stays at home, and is not used by anyone else. At first it was just Angry Birds, but now it can happen at any time. Sometimes hours or days go by when this does not happen, sometimes it happens so much I can't use the computer at all. It can get so bad that I won't be able to click out of whatever I'm doing on my desktop, and I'll have to shut it down by holding the power button.
Has anyone else had this issue after updating Angry Birds?

Can you dual-boot arch linux with Windows 7 ?

Here is my current dilemna; I have Windows still on my netbook for the only reason that I use it for gaming .
Other than that I have Linux Mint dual-booted with it .
Now my question is, can I just instruct arch to install into the already existing linux partition, formatting it and making it it's home, or do I have to delete it, thus rendering my computer inoperable until I successfully dualboot arch with it ? o_O
Or should I take a different approach altogether, and triple boot my netbook with arch, mint, and windows, and then from there delete the mint partition and allocate the free space accordingly using easeus partition master (another reason I still have windows) ?

if youre happy with your partition layout u can just install arch ofc.
while installing you will be prompted to select mount points and create filesystems ( you can skip the partition step )
select your current / partition for, well, /
and /home for.. /home.
the installer will then create new filesystems there (formatting those partitions) and set mountpoints

Hello,
if you got problems with the kernel, you can try backbox-linux. The kernel there is newer. It is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Have a nice day

Dual Booting Windows 7 with pre-installed Windows 8 Laptop

Hi All,
Just after a bit of advice, my girlfriend has recently got a new laptop and unfortunately she doesn't like it, despite me loving Windows 8.1.
She would like to try Windows 8 but is going back to Uni soon so would like Windows 7 as a back-up dual booted.
I've shrunk the partition and created a simple partition for Windows 7 but really unsure about Installing Windows 7 on a Windows 8 Laptop, it's an ASUS X550CA-XX417H. I've checked power shell with SecureBootUEFI and result is True.
What would be the best way to dual boot?
Cheers,
Ben

How to move the cursor with keyboard

Is there a way to move the cursor with the keyboard? My right forearm is hurting prob because of extended use of the mouse.

While in the 'Finder' click on 'Help' in the upper menu bar....enter 'Mouse Keys' and then select 'Controlling the pointer with the numeric keypad'....only problem I can see is the MacBook doesn't have a numeric keypad...so you would need an full size external keyboard....tried it on my iMac and it works OK...

Boot into bootcamp with external monitor

Has anyone been able to boot into bootcamp with an external monitor? I have a macbook pro (nvidia), and every time I start windows I have to open up the laptop and re-select my cinema display as the primary monitor. I know it doesn't sound that bad but I'd like to be able to boot into windows and not have to reselect the display each time.

I too am very interested in doing this. Perhaps there is a .bat file someone has written to do this somewhere?
Any ideas on how to do that?
Anyone? Anyone?
