A Thread For Random Compute Questions
Ok, I'll go first.
I have a secondary hard drive that a few times over the past year has given me a write error and then gone unrecognizable. I reboot and it's fine. Did the same thing to me tonight only when I rebooted, before the start up screen, I got a message that said "hard drive failure" or something like that. I skipped the troubleshooting and booted up and it wasn't showing up. So I finally just shut the whole thing down for a few minutes and started back up. It's working fine now though it seemed a bit slow in loading at first. Should I count on this sucker dying fairly soon and get all my stuff off of it? |

Sounds like a sensible idea. Can't hurt!

That is a very kind hard-drive to let you know it's about to die.

I dual boot linux and windows 7. In linux, I use xfce as my desktop. There are a couple of things I'd like to tweak if anyone knows how to do it *easily.*
1) I always get a pop up window about 2 minutes after boot asking me to type my password because my keyring didn't open properly. I don't even know what that is and I certainly don't want to deal with it. 2) It never remembers my default browser is Chromium. 3) It would be great if my windows partition were auto-mounted on boot. |
