  1. Do they have a dell diagnostics/recovery partition still on them? If they do then this may be your problem
  2. There shouldn't be. I've successfully used PXE to deploy various operating systems from both Virtualbox and VMware virtual machines. Do you have the network card settings correctly set in the virtualization software (such as making sure that the virtual nic is set to bridged not NAT/Host only etc)?
  3. typical, my ps3 dies (of the ylod i think) and this happens (along with a release date for GT5 and a good playtv update near the end of the year).
  4. they used business post/ukmail to deliver my laptop. it took them about 3-5 days to build a laptop and 3 weeks to build a mouse. the tracking is provided by walsh western (and showed up as tracking info temporarily unavailable on both orders of mine) and should appear if you click the 'click here' link next to tracking number on the order status page.
  5. problem solved by upgrading vbox to the latest version
  6. providing that the apps are in the apps section of itunes, they should sync to the new ipod fine.
  7. What were people thinking!?! 10 unlikely iPhone insurance claims ? reghardware I like no.7 under the wacky claims
  8. I've often wondered what they were for - Thanks for explaining
  9. +1 for imgburn Very good software and free too!
  10. Gorillas! Please note: some of the comments contain bad language/swear words which may not be suitable for a school environment Gorilla goes hands-on with Nintendo DSi XL at the San Francisco Zoo -- Engadget
  11. Try some of these: Download FREE Bootable Rescue CDs from Kaspersky, BitDefender, Avira, F-Secure and Others - Tweaking with Vishal I've only used the Kaspersky and Avira ones. The avira one does allow you to update the definitions but kaspersky didn't when I last tried it a few years ago, however it might have changed since.
  12. I think Zip seems a bit lively tonight:
  13. I helped my Dad pick up something he bought on ebay and once we arrived to pick it up my dad had to phone the seller. He gets his phone out to make the call and then says: "What does this Emerg. Calls only mean?"
  14. I've always done it that way as I remember reading (in several different places) and being told not to image computers that have already been joined to a domain.
  15. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/o-s-deployment/59012-windows-could-not-start-because-computer-disk-hardware-configuration-problem.html Try some of those suggestions
  16. Maybe they are using the old 'yank the lan cable out during login' trick to get admin profiles http://www.edugeek.net/forums/security/49064-login-then-pull-out-network-cable-admin.html
  17. I tend to use debian and XFCE for older machines. To set them up I do a minimal base install (laptop and standard system) then issue "apt-get install xfce" to install XFCE after the installation has finished. Doing this will leave you with a lightweight install of debian but you will then have to decide on the software you need (openoffice/abiword, vlc/rhythmbox etc).
  18. And one of mine - especially in vista/Win7
  19. Driveimagexml clonezilla
  20. according to the link below, it starts at 18:30 on Sunday (and is being shown on both itv & the bbc) TV Guide UK TV Listings - UK's No 1 TV Listing site for Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media, Freesat & Tiscali TV
  21. Take a look at Dell Special Offers, Cheapest Deals, E-Value Codes and Discount Coupons | dmXdimension for dell deals as well. Also thanks for the recommendation about the dell outlet.
  22. I've found a few dells/HPs with i3 processors (i'm looking for a laptop myself) with 4gb ram and 320/500gb hdds for around £499. The dell is the inspiron 1564 and i've forgotten the HP model no (it started with G62 though). However, i'm not sure if they are thin or lightweight though
  23. The same dog also did it to another car: This dog really hates being honked at
  24. also if you can't find any info on something (eg setting up a proxy) for debian, just search for instructions for ubuntu (as ubuntu is based on debian). I tend to use debian for servers and ubuntu for newer desktops.
