Good to see im not the only one attemping/doing this diy storage user, ive got all the adaptors and sata cables i need, its the cooling and power is my main concern, i have 500w psu and the moment, and ive never even looked at/installed cooling at all so dont even know where to start there

Thats for posting that just checked out FreeNAS and looks very interesting, im guessing you used to simply FTP your date to the storage server? Is is possible to create shares of folders on there or not? Regards

Main purpose of the need for storage is for personal useage not work, ive recently started recording in HD, i have it burnt to dvd, so if everything failed it wouldnt be the end of the world, so although not need for 12tb as that would be assuming id buy 2tb hard drives, but looking i think 1tb for £60 each will do the trick with 6 of those, and as i said all of the footage is edited and burnt of dvds. So really its just a home file storage system, the reason i said so big is i dont want to run out of space any time soon. And as its for me and not work i want to do this for as cheap as possible. Biggest expense is for the 6 TB hard drives which at the min i can get for £360

Well all the 12tb ones ive seen so far are all 8k, so im sure i can put something together cheaper, just need a decent motherboard, as ive got a lovely big atx case that could fit 8 hdds, get me a copy of win xp/server 2003, share the drives, connected it to the lan and use it to jump all my files on, is what i want to do. This is a budget one, i dont require any redundency or backs or anything like that as the data is that important and will be keept other places too.

Yeah, i can ping the dc and ill try and browse the shares when i get home although ntfs permissions shouldnt let me as the local user isnt part of the domain users group Will check this when i get home! I have about 20 users created before i added the workstation and have tired most of them, the virtual machines are talking to each other, as the DC is also DHCP server and the machine is in its scope and assiging it an ip address. As for times, i think they arent the same! Thanks for the help guys will have a play when i get back, already learning more by getting hands on with it

Username/Password incorrect, but they are

Yeah ive selected the domain, its diffinately become apart of the domain as its listed in AD and in properties of computer its listed as part of my domain Regards

Hi, This is a real newbie question but we all have to start somewhere right, just started MSCE and having a play around i thought id build a virtual test network, Basicly ive a DC running win2k3 and ive just added a computer to the domain winxp sp3 but i can still only log on using the local user, and not any of the domain users is there something ive missed after adding the domain to the domain that i need to do Regards

Hi, Im looking to build storage server, basicly im looking to see what people have? Im looking to build one with about 6-12TB of storage depending on if i choose 1tb or 2tb hard drives. Obviously processing power isnt an issuse so looking to use a cheap amd athlon 64 x2. Motherboard is what im looking for really as i need one with many sata ports and to fit my ATA case So can anyone recommend a spec and any problems building this i might run in too? as ive never done a file server before Regards

the great thing about the 2 simple range is that there available online too

im currently studying at the min, finding it difficult to find them time, id say thats the biggest challenge,

another vote for samsung With an amazing up to 12 hours* of battery life, the SAMSUNG N220 was designed to be there for you all day long. N220 - N-Series - Netbooks - Notebook Computers | SAMSUNG all there netbooks seem to have the same spec, not much to pick between any of them

for me, no. for a quick burst of information on a subject the internet is quick and great, such as wikipedia, but i just cannot bring myself to sit and read an ebook, most ive done is the first page, before my eyes hurt and i get bored, so for that reason i still like to read huge amounts on a good old paper book

I got a HTC Hero the other week, and cant seem to install apps, would some kind person point me in the right direction

getting that spect laptop is so expensive, can get a desktop with spec for about £600 on ebuyer

We currently have a .gov.uk domain, but all schools in dudley are being made to change to .sch.uk this year, should be fun for email, letter heads etc Cant wait

I think most the of networks these days have battery life of 6+7 hours. I personally like the samsung ones As for video editing, id be surprised with an activity like that, battery life would last more then 2/3 hours without being the need to be charged

Lukcy boy, i never risk it(well at that kinda speed anyway), as the same as everyone else, no licence = no job, well bloody hard to get to work anyway lol

or "our P4 700mhz, 512mb ram, windows nt server cannot cope with hosting 200 school websites anymore, and now councillors have to go without phone upgrades to raise money for a new one"

Thats odd, both E: and the bottom one saying over 1000mb free, when the partition is only 1mb. Did you delete both E: partitions?

Well you would think that, but why just that server, as im sure they have more then one. plus i liked how it read in the email :p

Lol i thought it was an instant ban at those speeds

8.30 till 3.30 and what he said!

so she can do two things at the same time :D:D

Hey, I have an Acer Aspire One that i would like to install xp on, how do i achieve this? I have a bootable usb, but how do i install xp? Regards
