I posted on this board just yesterday that my UPS had packed up. evil:
Today we have a moohoosive power failure in the village. eeek:
How does that work then? Banghead
Interestingly, out of the systems connected at power failure time, the XP systems have booted and recovered okay but my linux based music server is currently undergoing treatment to try and rebuild the file system… rubschin:

Serves you right for having a dedicated music server!

Prolly a stupid answer… but did you read the OP? point:
Yes, I have loadsabackups plus a 750Gbyte mirrored networked shared disc system… but the power corrupted the (operating) file system on the (linux) music server and I had to manually rebuild it. noooo:
OK? whistle:

PS Currently listening to Dark Side of the Moon from rebuilt music server… cloud9:

I did but I've known some of the more paranoid IT geeks I've worked with in the past zip and make manual backups of critical file structures.
As for your music server, what about using an external storage drive for the actual tracks. Then if you need to in future its a simple case of Fdisking and reinstalling the OS.
Sorry if that seems overly simplistic but I've been having to explain things with glove puppets at work today. Banghead

I think they just talk a lot of bollox to make us feel inferior Snoops.
We had to go and buy a new digi box last night because we had a sort of echo with the sound on the old one. I had specifically asked Mr Wench if he had pulled out all the cables that weren't attached to anything. We got home installed the new one and it did the same thing. At this point I had a look and the tv still had a cable plugged into it picking up signal and giving the echo. Banghead

I was ill. In bed. He asked for virtual help. I tried. How difficult is it to find cables that are only connected at one end and pull them out? Banghead

But he doesn’t even have a bag or box of cables or anything! ::)
You should have only trusted him to take the lace doyley off the top of the digibox then left the complex stuff to you… point:
-
The digi box doesn't have a lace doily, just a thick covering of dust.
I was ill and he was irritating. I have no other excuse. redface:

Good question...
'tis because the machine that runs perfectly well as a linux music server (running slimserver) is completely unable to run a copy of XP with all the latest service packs and patches... whistle:
-
Which version of XP are you using, bear in mind there are multiple editions for home business and multimedia use.

XP Pro + SP2

Aha, I think I may see the problem here. Which version of SP2 do you have? The early versions were buggy as hell and had all osrts of compatibility problems. I ended up having to reimage my machine because of that.

Is that legal under the new Catholic guidelines? eeek:
