I think that you have a 160GB coaster. 
If I were you I would go back to the Tech-Net site and search for installation instructions for the RTM version. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that you cannot upgrade from RC to RTM.
Alternatively take a look at this[^]. I found that and several other promising hits by Googling windows 7 upgrade rc to rtm. Give it a go.

I did not upgrade. I should have mentioned that. I completely formatted the drive containing Windows 7 RC, then installed Windows 7 RTM. However, the problem is now solved. The solution was to, believe it or not, use the VISTA DVD to repair the startup. On booting to repair, it immediately prompted me to "FIx and Restart" a startup problem, and hey presto, problem solved.
It is sad to see that Windows 7's startup repair fails to detect the issue, while Vista's startup repair fixes it in seconds.

Glad you have resolved your problem.

Very odd. I'll try to remember that, in case anyone else has a similar problem.

Hello all,
INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY:
the backup tape device on my server has died... 
Now I must buy a new one, and I was having space problems in my ULTRIUM 448 tape I was thinking on replacing it for a newer one.
The problem here is that the people from HP don't want to ensure me that the newer devices will work on my server.
QUESTION:
The device that I own seems to use "SCSI Ultra160 LVD". Can I replace it by another device that uses "SCSI Ultra320 LVD"?
As always, thank you in advance.

You haven't told us what controller the server has, but most probably there's no problem.
But the HP people can't tell you that, in case you would belong to the five percent of the people that it doesn't work for.
And make sure that you have the right cabling and that the connector on the new device is the same type as on the old device.
Personally I always buy a dedicated controller (and cable) for the backup device to make sure there are no problems with neither the backup nor the harddrives.
Ask HP for recommendations.

Hi, does anyone know any UPS which could turn on the computer automatically when the electricity is available?
Thank in advacne!!!
|

Any modern BIOS on your motherboard should be able to do that by itself. I don't know of a UPS that will. All it can do is supply the power and inform any connected device about the state of the UPS. It's up to the machine to maintain it's power state.
Every ASUS motherboard I've had has a "Power State" setting with an option of "Last AC state". If the power on the machine was on, when power came back, it would turn itself back on.

Dear Dav,
Thank you very much for your answer. I will try to check my computer BIOS setting. But I think it won't work because this computer is a little bit old (one purchase in 2003 and another one is purchase in 2007).
Thank for your answer!!!

Check the information on the screen and look for clues as to what is wrong. I don't think we have any psychics here.

I think we do. The odds are extremely low there wouldn't be any amongst 6,464,695 members. However they may not be reading the question, or not be good enough and operate without a tiny bit of hard information.

I have a legacy app using VC 6 MFC and Codejjock 9.8 (not really relevant I don't think)
The program is broken into several pieces that communicate with each other via COM.
I am attempting to add USB support to a custom board. I have written a simple console test program that Uses WinUsb_WritePipe, Read Pipe. All is fine. When I incorporate the headers and calls into my legacy app I can;t get it to link. I either get duplicate symbol defined _WINUSB_TEST or unable to find uuid.lib, or a few others depending the order of the includes.
I should note I am statically linking MFC, building a debug build, and the wrapper USB class is usigng overlapped IO and is Multi Threaded (a seperate thread handles the IO with Thread Safe Queues buffering the data.
My gut tells me this is an incompatability with the libraries. Microsoft stopped supporting the SDK for VS6 in 2003. The DDK is 6001.1802.
I see a couple of options... Seperate the WinUsb code into a dll and hope the lib generated will link in with the main program.
Recompile everything using VS2008. I have been avoiding this for 2 reasons.
1. I have experimented with VS.net, 2003, 2005 and MFC support seemed to get worse as did the GUI's.
2. The real reason. THe programs combined have nearly 500KLocs of code. There are a lot of CStrings and the scope of x in for(int x=0; x < y; x++) statetents. All of which are problematic with the new compilers.
Any suggestions or help where I may be missing the boat would be greatly appreciated

Some suggestions if you decide to build it all in VS2008.....
The VS2008 CString class has a few quirks that were not there in VC6. The new MFC CString class is a lot more strict about index parameters going into functions like Mid, Left, Right, etc. What I ended up doing is derive my own subclass from CString and implement my own Left, Right, Mid, etc. handlers where my handlers would validate the index parameter(s) before calling the base class CString functions. I also did a little compiler gymnastics in redefining CString to CMyCString so as to not need to change every reference to CString in my project.
As for the for scope problem, there is a compiler switch that overrides the for scope compliance rule. Use the /Zc:forScope- compiler switch to turn off the for scope checking.
Out of curiosity, why are you statically linking MFC in a debug build?
|

I statically link the MFC DLL in release mode because I have found it makes deployment more robust. This program started with VS 1.52 if you can believe that, and has morphed and been factored, etc. Major Requirements creep. Over the years the differences in mfc dlls that were on win 95, 98, 98se, etc caused support issues. I am not really sure why I an doing it in the debug version to be honest other than for consistency. I have tried it both ways and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Is there a reason not to statically link the MFC DLL in debug mode?
Back to the original question, I am thinking that using a dynamically linked (loaded) dll might get around the issue? Your thoughts?

Hi, my computer is running out of CMOS battery while its first use around 4 years. Then I bough the new battery around 4 month ago. Last week when i turn on my computer, i found that the date and time is not set. I think the battery is running out so I purchase the new battery. But after I replace to the new battery and set the date and time after I turn off and turn on again its still ask me to set the date again.
So I think this is not relate to battery. Could anyone let me know what is the cause of the problem that cause my computer to prompt for date and time setting everytime that I start up my desktop computer?
Thank in advance!!!

Can you remember the exact wording of the message as this does not really make sense? Can you access the CD through Windows Explorer, or access its properties through Device Manager?
