I Am Installing A Slave Hard Drive In My PC
Riptides replied to Eddie Bennett's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Nitro did a pretty good writeup. The Master/Slave/Cable Select has more to do with the age of the computer and the bios it has. If you're computer is under 10 years old Cable Select would be the easiest way to jumper both drives and use the cable plug to decide which is master and which is slave. Actually SATA being the defacto format these days is cheaper in terms of cost per MB, I think I've seen the 4TB drives priced below $200 just recently. And Newegg just sent out their newsletter today with a Hitachi brand 1.5TB SATA 6.0 drive for under $55 -
And we should be very very content that that is what being poor in the US means. Better than being poor in China, India, SE Asia.. where children are maimed and blinded then put on street corners with a plastic bowl by enterprising individuals to elicit donations from tourists.

I Am Installing A Slave Hard Drive In My PC

No. Your operating system will recognize the second drive and auto-magically assign a drive letter to it and you'll be able to access it through My Computer or File Explorer to allow you to back up stuff to the new drive.*** ***While I'm answering simply here, I'm sure there are quite a number of DIY websites with how-to's on how to get your computer to recognize and how to install a new drive that would describe it all much better than I could ever sit here and type out. EDIT: I do want to add that with a 60GB HDD, and needing to upgrade to 1GB of memory, tells me your comp -
I don't which is worse.. tainted gasoline, or a gasolined taint.

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.

That was at the close of their markets today and those drops are good? Yup best to watch the Asian markets in a few hours and see if this is just some massive profit taking or if it's indicative of a further slide. On a up note, the price of oil is sliding again. -
This has nothing to do with getting jobs, nor is it any sort of altruism on Comcasts part. They offered this "olive branch" up as a part of their merger deal, and it's just a grab for low/no-income earners who already have children on government assistance, who aren't previous dead-beat customers of theirs, to get their subscriber numbers up and hopefully use the state of the economy to poach said low/no-income customers from other services. Note that Comcast is now advertising this heavily through media outlets at the beginning of the new school year.
-
Here's the poop on the deal, and yes you can get a computer with this from Comcast. And of course it's the customers who's going to pay for this, the onus of any business to add all outside costs/taxes onto the consumer.

Yeah considering the grenade weighs at least 5 pounds, I'm sure the perp would be doing a frogmarch into his cell with a gnarled "pineapple" imprint in his forehead That's after the hours of surgery to have the mortar extracted from a place that'd make him walk funny. As my wife tells it, her great grandfather did Europe for the Army, made it to the Pacific to work in Okinawa with the Air Force, discharged out, and then later went back to Korea in the Air Force.
-
I'd love to own anything that has "This side towards enemy" stamped on it. To add the "story" to these, these are all original items, the 2 mortars were brought back from Germany by my wife's great-grandfather, who after being discharged from the European theater and signed right up for the Pacific, where he acquired the grenade.
-
Nope. And these aren't even in my possession as of now. Funny thing is about all 3 items, they've all been taken to various Paulding county schools for the past 40 years for show and tell.
-
Here's a closeup of the grenade, it's a WWII grenade, not plastic, and both the German mortars and the grenade have been hollowed out and rendered safe.

When you have some of these lying about. Was doing some cleaning out around the house today and forgot these were under my mattress. Wonder if I can get a CCW for them.

Ask Larry Flynt, and he'll tell she'll be coming on to a "you need a credit card to access this" website near you. Yuck.

Hmmm.. isn't the same "algae" based bio-fuel they've been talking about for years now? You grow it in helical tanks and then collect it out, dry it, press the oils out of it, then process those into bio-fuel. I believe numerous start-ups that have tried this went bust so far because it was just never cost effective in the past to process. Here is a story from 2009 on Joule Technology.
