  1. Hope it works out, unfortunately and belatedly the more tools you run the less chance you have of recovery, each tool does read/writes and alters the structure of the data. Best bet as above is to take a raw image of the drive then work on copies of that. Tools like chkdsk can just as easily mow over the data as recover it. Best to try and run undelete/recovery on the raw image first then wipe any viruses that remain (use Linux or well protected, isolated windows box). System-tools - SystemRescueCd with ddrescue, photorec and testdisk are probably worth a shot in future cases.
  2. I use virtualbox or even hyper-v, I just don't trust Linux on non-exact-Linux-approved hardware. I have had it hash its own file system so many times after a powercut or crash thanks to shoddy old school laptop drivers or just plain randomness. Queue the Linux brigade to berate me over my experience but it stands. In a VM it is contained and quite well behaved, ESXi is also a nice Linux derivative but again on the right hardware.
  3. Air gap security "Welcome to Acer technical support, yes we are local" Real world "Internet connection sharing" What you see is what was bolted down interface "Now your kids can play outside and get their 60 hours a week of gaming in" Attendant: Jesus is watching over your shoulder Customer: I'm not religious Attendant: Neither am I, I mean that creepy guy in the top floor of the hotel across the road, that's his name.
  4. "My access point with WEP encryption is secure right?"
  5. Have an XB1, have played on both, still like the UI and online bot of the XB1 better as despite improvements the PS online stuff is still inferior. The server count thing is rubbish, they backend it to azure and have as many or as few servers as they need at the time. Graphics may be slightly better on the PS4 but I like the Kinect sensor and the controller on the XB1 more hence why I brought one. Both next gen consoles still have their issues so neither is faultless and it comes down to what you want out of it and what your friends have.
  6. Not unless you have turned on auditing I the domain security policy beforehand and are up for a long journey through the dc event logs to try and find it as far as I know.
  7. These: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faRlFsYmkeY
  8. Server EFI, its the same reason you can schedule a holiday each time you need to reboot a current gen IBM server as it will take that looooong to POST.
  9. As above firmware, may also be worth asking them to replace the drive backplane as these can start failing out and killing drives over time.
  10. @Bompalompalomp - Phew that's a weight off my mind
  11. Just report the post with your edit request, this way it is shared with all the Mods and the first free one can edit it for you.
  12. Sure, all printers regardless of brand are terrible problematic devices in comparison to almost all other computer gear. Brother make decent cheap laser printers that work well for their intended life span which is not that long. Brother printers have all in my experience had terrible drivers, some with memory leaks so bad they could take down a server that was running their drivers. All printer vendors are also guilty of shipping at least one horrible driver for their printers, you want to make sure you get a trial unit to test and make sure the drivers deploy, aren't 150MB (Xerox) and don't crash the printserver every two days as above.
  13. Cutting edge cgi saving people from Barbie's play house, thanks Disneyfication
  14. I got it an like it but would suggest that no one runs it as anything more than a basic test environment as they appear to be taking feedback very seriously to the point of logging everything Using the Windows 10 Technical Preview? Microsoft might be watching your every move to help with feedback I wil still be running it as a VM and testing it thoroughly but I will not be giving it any passwords or details that MS does not already know. I like the new backgrounds, the uber quick install and the new/old start menu hybrid, actually having GPOs for it will be great to and when they do a release it will not come with any overly intrusive monitoring gadgets. Lets hope they keep on the track through as I found the 7 beta even with all the debug tools switched on to be far faster than the RTM, same with Vista. They need to stop making it slower through the testing cycle.
  15. I guess I see it in a more Pavlov'ian way ( Ivan Pavlov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ), and bells do not sound well over the internet.
  16. Tried to post this before but vBulitin got in the way again - thanks illiterate javascript 'devs' - printers are all terrible brother make great disposable laser printers brother printers should be standalone and never let near a network as their drivers are summoned demons from hell make sure you trial any lease copiers for drivers as 'every' manufacturer has released TERRIBLE drivers at one time or another
  17. Both add rep but the thanks in increments of five and the rep in increments of whatever your rep power is, it is not really the number but the acknowledgment, totally fine if people are new to the forum and have not found the button yet or it is not available in the forum but in the grand scheme of things a thanked post of a rep is a lasting acknowledgment of being helpful. Any acknowledgement (including a posted thanks) is great but it is nice top get some response if you are helpful instead of a cloudy non-determinate haze from the ether of the internet. Acknowledgment also quantifies the usefulness a bit so helps other users that may find themselves in the same situation.
  18. AS altruistic as this site is a little acknowledgment goes a long way, a click on the thanks button costs nothing and can help the contributors feel more valued and more likely to help in future.
  19. Do you have a MVLS agreement bitlocker works fine with trim and is completely transparent, it even works with the built in encryption features of the ssd offloading the whole lot and making it almost instant.
  20. ^^^^^ Only several years too late rather than a decade after and a decade before everyone else catches up, they are making progress. Why the hell can't they fix o365 logon in Windows 8 though, promises are all well and good but adding a year to the time frame is ridiculous, also the wholesale replication of IOS features is junk and the new guy should get his own ideas.
  21. Ha I can't even download it, select a different location, thanks windows 8.1. Edit: Fine I give up is anyone rehosting the ISO. Microsoft... False alarm, once I bypassed the Akami BS it worked fine.
  22. Wintver is coming as to Threshold Threshold (TV Series 2005– ) - IMDb But Windows 10 looks good, but can I run it on my Lumina 920
  23. The first school I supported, my intermediate school was solely Mac OS, I knew a depressing amount about the many quirks of that OS despite having a PC at home.
  24. Windows 10, literally an order of magnitude better
  25. I find the same, even a 42" seems so small now it makes me want to sit with my nose nearly touching the glass.
