One HD shows at sda and sdb [disregard I'm an idiot]

I recently installed Windows XP to see if some problems freezing had to do with my OS or my hardware. Now I'm trying to reinstall arch and when I go to partition my HD it finds two HD's one only 8 gb and I only have one 500gb drive. How can I merge them back together? My system won't boot into grub because it's getting confused and I suspect it's because my hardrive is fragmented up.
oh it was just my flash drive getting read as an HD

Hello blackfedora!
"My system won't boot into grub because it's getting confused" <- Did you try to reinstall grub from livecd ? What's the output if you try to use parted program from livecd, and print command inside it ?

  • Trying to reload adobe 10 and 7 on new computer. old one crashed. shows i need a serial number

    purchased adobe 10 and 7 -- 2012 and 2013 -- trying to install on new computer. old one crashed. shows i need serial number. where do i get it. only have 6 discs.

    Adobe is a company... what does "Adobe 10" and "Adobe 7" mean?
    If you bought those on disc I don't think they are part of the Cloud
    The serial number is usually on a sticker on the disc holder inside the box
    If you lost your serial number check https://www.adobe.com/account.html for your registered products

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

    Well, when you open the program, the splash screen, the window you see while the program is opening, should make that clear enough. For example:

  • "How do i add more than 2 downloads in Downloads window?" "Downloads window" only show 2 download and don't show third one and else

    How do i download more than 2 downloads in "Downloads window"?
    "Downloads window" only show 2 download and don't show third one and more, They be wait until one of first or second complete.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Downloads

    You have some extensions that related to downloading listed in the Troubleshooting information.
    It is probably one of them that is causing that problem.
    What kind of files are you trying to download?
    Are all the files downloaded from the same server?

    Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • I sent some emails from one of my email accounts and now it shows that these emails have been simultaneously sent from two of my email accounts

    I sent a few emails from one of my accounts that are set up in my Thunderbird. Now I see that they have been sent from two of my accounts, simultaneously. It shows them in both Sent folders and with the respective email address as sender.
    Those email accounts have been set up in my Thunderbird for a long time now and have been working correctly until now.
    How can I prevent this from happening again? I don't want to send people messages from two different emails at the same time.
    I'd appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks,

    In my case, TB is sending a copy of all my sent mail to the account that is associated with the smtp server. I have four accounts that I check via TB and the sent mail is being kept in the original folder and also in the sent folder of the account to which the smtp server is connected. If I change the smtp server from one gmail account to another, the sent mail follows. I then have two copies of the sent email, one in the original folder and one in the smtp server account's sent folder. I only want the one in the original folder. How do I stop the sent email from also being saved in the smtp account sent folder?

  • I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone.  Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one?  What should I do?  I a, afraid I might lose everything messing with

    I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone.  Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one?  What should I do?  I am afraid I might lose everything messing with

    I see.  If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone.  The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep.  I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
    If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room.  In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this.  To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.

    I installed a security program called Identity Finder whick requires a master password for Firefox on my laptop, which I like. However, even though my settings are to "Show my windows and tabs from last time," I have to manually add each link in a new tab each time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

  • Interface with I2C SDA and SCL with PCI 6224 digital ouputs in C/C++

    I am trying to use the pci 6224 in order to send SDA and SCL to an I2C. I have been able to control the Digital Output, but I have been unsuccessful with generating a clock source to satify the I2C. I am writing this code in C/C++. Any ideas or examples would surely be appreciated. I need a good starting point, but I have not been able to find any useful examples that have worked. I am using the SCB-68 and I am trying to use my digital multi-meter to verify my code. 
    I have looked at the examples provided, but is there a description of these functions that are being called using the NIDAQmx.h? 

    Hello VJohnson,
    The counter will give you control of the clock frequency and duty cycle.  However, this card also has correlated DIO, which means that you can clock your digital lines.  Because of this, you can write a specific pattern (101010) to the buffer and just have it continuously output.  However, you will have to write this in a way that you know what values you're writing based on the part of the clock you're at.  
    My I2C implemetation knowledge isn't the greatest, so I do not know how big each of your communication packets will be, but one implemetation would be to write your data in packets to regulate your SDA and SCL lines.  The WriteDigChan-ExtClk is the best option that shows how to write a digital channel with a clock.  You will just need to modify the DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming( function call.  The second input should be changed from "/Dev1/PFI0" to OnboardClock or NULL.  Hope this helps!
