  3. Master/slave Drive Question

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    Are the two devices physically connected to the same IDE channel? If so, utilize the second IDE channel (if you have one). Attach hard disk drives to the primary IDE channel and optical drives to the secondary IDE channel.

    Devices at the end of the IDE ribbon are usually considered "Master", whereas those in the middle are considered "Slave". If you use the cable select jumper setting on your drives you do not have to worry about which position you attach to. However, if you specify "Master" or "Slave" in the jumper settings then you have to attach them to the correct position.

    Next, you should check your BIOS to see that the drives are being detected correctly and in the proper configuration. In the case where they are not, you may want to reset the BIOS settings to defaults. Additionally, make sure that your boot device priority is configured correctly, provided you BIOS allows you to manually manipulate this.

  8. Installing Wordpress: Having Problems With The Install Script

    in Linux & Unix

    Posted · Edited by Falcon1986

    I do not have experience running WordPress on a local server, but I do have it installed on a web host.

    In the shared web hosting environment our database names usually look like this: account_database

    And the database user usually looks like this: account_user

    Where "account" is the name of the shared hosting space and "account_user" has permissions to access "account_database".

    As a result, when it is time to specify the database and user in wp-config.php, here is what we must enter:

    define('DB_NAME', 'account_database');
    define('DB_USER', 'account_user');

    Also note that you must also enter the password that gives "account_user" the permission to access "account_database". 'DB_HOST' is usually just 'localhost':

    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere');
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

  10. Slipsstream Xpsp3

    Here is where you can download the full SP3 installer. Downloading SP3 through Windows Update does not give you easy access to the installer and, furthermore, most slipstreaming tutorials will ask that you download the full installer.

    You can store it wherever you want. Renaming does not interfere with the installer's ability to work. Whatever suits you.

  14. Deleting Temporary Internet Files

    Is the ATF Cleaner similar to the Secure Shredder built into Spybot S&D?

    As a side note, I use CCleaner and have yet to encounter a problem with it on Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit) and Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (64-bit), and that goes for whether I'm using the file or registry cleaners. However, it is not a piece of software I would go insisting everyone use because I blindly believe that it is 'perfect' and will never cause problems. The fact that persons do have bad experiences with it obviously proves otherwise.

  15. Registry Hacks For Xp

    It depends on the speed of your internet connection how high the number should be.

    I thought the maximum number of connections to establish in IE was recommended to be 10.

    Your internet connection might be fast but increasing this value has the effect of putting more stress on website servers that you visit thereby inflicting some performance issues. As a matter of fact, some sites can detect too many concurrent connections from a single source and will block the source.

  23. Nvidia Sales

    I may be wrong but didn't AMD and NVIDIA merge earlier this year and doesn't Intel now own ATI?

    That would be the day!

    AMD merged with ATI. Just try visiting the ATI website and you will see AMD's brand all around. ATI is now AMD's graphics hardware division.

    I haven't heard about Intel merging with nVidia, but that would be something to behold. I know that they do work together on a lot of hardware especially when it comes to chipsets and SLI, although ATI could get a close-to-equal partnership with their own chipsets and Crossfire.
