  1. Anyone know why I can't CHKDSK /f from a command prompt using a Windows Recovery disk? CHKDSK /r works, but doesn't seem to help. When I attempt CHKDSK /f , message says "Unknown Parameter". I formatted C drive but have a seperate partition for data. Trying to re-install XP without data loss. Appreciate all replies.

    This is just a shot in the dark, but since you have separate partitions have you tried running chkdsk driveletter: /f (e.g. chkdsk c: /f)?

  2. Hi. Don't think I know you. But I've been here since 2005. In reply to "what can we do", here's what I think. Start answering questions that users post. Even if you don't know the answer, at least acknowlege the question. I've come back to BT many times over the years after it's decline. Posted a question, saw that 80 people looked at the post, yet no one replied. That's not good biz. Joe

    Hey members & mods, we need to get more traffic to post here. What can we do, any suggestions ??? Most other forums are pretty busy with users needing help or Malware Removal or just new threads. Do we need some more color to attract them, or what suggestions can we give Jeff to kick start this place !! There has to be a reason we don't pick up some of that traffic. Let us have any suggestions you may have ???

    Thanks

  4. Thx. But awhile back you had an iphone app. I asked about ipad, you said it was coming soon. What happened? Other than than, your re-designed site looks great!

    We don't have an iOS or Android app.

    The main website is a responsive design meaning it's designed to look great and function well on any device. I also believe the forums have a "mobile" theme.

    Nice to see you too, Joe, and I do accept reality. The reality that my United States has become a nation of takers.

    But hey, I understand you progressives need your entitled and dependents, so keep writing the checks, swiping the credit card, and borrowing from China. I always wanted to visit(become?) Greece.

    Or another way would be to cut 90% from the pentagon. They'd be less war happy if they had to have a bake sale to underwrite it.

  6. First real cold front of the season coming tonight and tomorrow.

    So preparing by making a good hearty soup today.

    Meatball and tortellini soup.

    Ground beef and pork

    Spices, herbs, egg, cracker meal, unflavored gelatin...

    Take a small sample and microwave it to test seasoning and flavor and adjust.

    Brown the meatballs in ceramic non stick skillet and then into the oven to finish cooking.

    Dump the finished meatballs into beef stock with diced onions, diced garlic, dice mushrooms, chopped tomatoes , herbs (cilantro, parsley) unflovored gelatin etc.

    Taste and adjust

    Cook some dry spinach and cheese and tomato and cheese tortellini in salted water . Drain when done.

    Plate a serving or tortellini in a soup bowl, spoon in some meatballs and ladle the soup over it all.

    Top with a bit of grated parm or asiago cheese.

    Sounds GREAT Pete! What time is dinner? I'll bring the Chianti.

    So, the kettle may be black, but so is your pot!

    Geez! It's going to take awhile for you GOPers and Teabaggers to accept reality. But as I said, it's nice to see you, BDog! Really, I hope all is well with you and yours. Joe

  8. Darn I thought this would be a thread about a new Avatar movie.

    Wonder how that is going and if the new Star Wars movie from Disney will beat it out.

    Nice to see your canines again. I haven't been around for five years.

    One kitty is gone to Tuna Heaven, but Max The Cat has taken his place.

    Same with the dogs. The new resident is Rudy the Psycho Poodle.

    BTW. I sent your Dog Blog site to a fellow dog lover. :-)

  10. Because the kettle IS black. Do the math.

    Other than that, nice to see you BDog!

    Ahem... you forgot to mention Soros, Hollywood, et al on the lib side.

    Jeesch, your response seems to say ONLY the R's raised and spent $1 billion. Why are you "progressives" always calling the kettle black?

  11. I agree Pete C. And it's GREAT to see you!

    I think something needs to be done about super pacs. They should be classified as corporations not non profit organizations. Their income should be taxed and there should be a fee on each advertisement they sponsor which goes to support voter registration, additonal polling locations, new voting machines, etc.

    Maybe they could include that into the tax reform bill and make it retro active so that Rove, the Koch Brothers, and Trump owe a couple hundred million each in back taxes.

  12. Can you try again now, Joe?

    I'm not sure if I fixed it yet, but I may have.

    B

    No. Still ng Jeff. I tried it in both Safari and Chrome on ipad. The "choose file" from computer is still greyed out. I'll try it tomorrow from Windows. If that doesn't work I'll just upload a pic to FlickR and link from there. No biggie. Just wondering why it won't work. Thanks for all your help.

  13. We're trying to revive them, Joe.

    I've committed to BT as a full time job now and I'm hoping the forums will be an integral part of the site, but I can't do it alone with the help of an active community. So let's keep just posting and creating high quality content. I'd love to attract both old and new members!

    B

    I'm with you Jeff. Let me know how I can help.

  14. Alright, I'll look into it when I get my power & Internet back. It's probably a settings issue.

    B

    Jeff. This tiny problem is one grain of sand compared to what you and all my friends on the East Coast are dealing with now. Please take care of yourself and your family. Joe

  15. I'm thinking about replacing my Original Moto Droid with a Samsung Galaxy lll. I'd be switching from Verizon to T-Mobile. Was wondering about opinions here at BT. Also, shouldn't we have a SmartPhone area in the forums?

  16. Jeff & The Terrorist. I'm at a loss here. I took the screen shot, but I can't attach that either. Just like in "change avatar" , the "choose file" option is greyed out. I know that I can do it by selecting to upload a pic to a photo website, eg: Flickr, but why can't I just upload a file directly to BT? BTW, I tried to do this in both Safari and Chrome and had the same result.

    Hello World. I've been MIA for a few years. Thought I'd stop in. I removed my old Santa Cat avatar and tried to upload a new one from a file. But the feature is greyed out. What's up with that?Hope you're all well.Thanks

    Can you take a screenshot of what you're seeing + any error message you get (if any)?

    B

    I'm on an ipad. Can I take a screenshot? I'll try later on my real computer. :-(Thanks
