It was the BIOS. I'm trying to bypass the BIOS by using an PCI IDE card. Working so far - the IDE card's BIOS recognizes the drive and its correct size, but I can't boot from it. See my post on that above.

A little more information would be helpful. What program are you using to burn the CDs? What errors are you seeing? What OS are you running? Have you checked for recent driver updates? Is the drive on the LPT port, or USB? Other?

I have two machines here, XP and 98SE, and (not surprisingly for 98) I have a network hassle. The XP machine can browse the 98 machine no problem, but when I try and open the XP machine in the 98's Explorer it asks for a password for IPC$. This is irritating, because I'm logged in as the same user on both machines, with correct privs, and 98 doesn't allow you to type in a username. Any advice? Thanks in advance

Even though the usernames and passwords were the same on both machines, Windows didn't 'match' them (typical 98  ). I created a new username on both machines, that solved it.

please reply me.. if neone can tell
I want to know the difference between segemented paging and paged segementation??
|
|
|
|

It's basically whether the segment selector is used first, or the page number is used first. See Segmentation and Paging Combined[^].
Note, I found this through the obvious method: Google for '"segmented paging" "paged segmentation"'.
In practice, segment selectors that are not part of a 'flat' virtual address, such as x86 processors have, are a total pain in the neck to set up and use - which is why Windows ignores them for the most part, only using them as the processor requires. Most processors now operate on a segmented paging basis, where the 'page table' is actually a hierarchy of page directories and page tables.
The original 386 scheme uses the most significant 10 bits of the virtual address to access the top level (the Page Directory) which contains a physical address pointing to the appropriate Page Table. The next 10 bits are used to index the appropriate Page Table, which then contains the physical address of the actual page. On Pentium and later processors, the page directory entry contains a bit (Page Size) which indicates whether the remaining 22 bits in the address are a page table index and offset within the page, or whether they are an offset into a large page (4MByte). Windows 2000 and XP use 4MByte pages to map parts of system address space, to reduce the number of page tables and TLB space, which gives more memory available to programs, at the cost of higher internal fragmentation.
If you enable Physical Addressing Extension, the format of the page tables changes. There are now three levels: Page Directory Pointer Table, Page Directory, and Page Table. The top level (PDPT) contains four Page Directory Pointer entries, then the Page Directory and Page Table each contain 512 entries. Each entry is 64 bits in size, some of which point to an address and some of which are flags. Again, the Page Table level can be omitted, with the Page Directory Entry pointing directly to a 2MByte page. AMD's AMD64 architecture adds a fourth level for Long Mode (64-bit virtual addressing).
The advantage of these multi-level systems is that not all page directory entries need be valid - the OS need only construct and fill in the page tables that are actually being used. Indeed, it can swap out page tables if required.

Hi !
Me and a classmate are working on a degree project for our university. We are working on a program that identifies a user in the Active Directory on a Windows Server 2003 by its fingerprints.
We are newbies when it comes to programming with ADSI but so far we have manged to write programs that can create and alter user and search the AD for users with a custom "hasFingerPrints"-attribute flag that we have created. We are using Visual C++ 6
The final program will be used when an application want the current user to verify its identity.
When the user enrolls the program creates one or several binary template-files (depending on how many fingerprints the user registers) with encrypted information about the fingerprint.
The fingerprint template files have a minimum size of 1kb but can be up to 4-8 kB if you enroll with a higher security level ... each user might also have 3-5 files ... one for each finger he enrolls.
One problem is that the current identification algorithm needs the file to exist in a directory of some form ...
What is the best way to store these files ?
Should they be stored inside the AD-database ? for maximum security if so, how do you do that ?
It would be great if there was a way to "attach" each fingerprint file to each user ... somehow
Thanks in advance !

Yes I have Googled for this but all I get is 5 billion hits from sites trying to sell me the RAM I already have.
I have a stick of Kingston KTD-GX150/256 3.3 v CE SD-RAM. It says it is Equivalent to Dell RAM. Is this only useful for Dell machines or is it OK to use in any SD-RAM machine as all SD-RAM is 3.3 V and the same as any other?

It's okay to use it in any motherboard that has the same specs. Most of the proprietary memory standards that mfrs impose are far more strict than those used by clone makers, and you usually pay a premium price for them. I recently had a customer who needed to boost the RAM in her HP Laserjet printers. At the HP website it costs $300 per printer to upgrade; on the open market, the same RAM module costs $26. I doubt very much that to HP logo is worth that much, since the RAM is generic PC100 RAM.

By that do you mean any motherboard that takes SD-RAM or any motherboard that mentions 3.3 V explicitly?
<EDIT>
A couple of more things I have found out tonight. This 256MB stick and another 128MB PC133 SD-RAM stick would not work in a Dell OptiPlex GX100 running a Celeron 433MHz at 66MHz. I assume because the RAM is 2 steps above the requirement, though this hasn't stopped me using PC133 in a GX1 Pentium II a couple of years ago.
I am hesitant to put the Kingston RAM back in my Athlon machine as last time I put it in with the 512MB PC133 SD-RAM already in there I had major problems. Windows started fine then crashed. Then on subsequent reboots I had incorrect memory readings at POST and got wavey staticy lines all over the screen during POST. Eventually the whole installation of XP sh*t itself even after I took out the RAM. Last 5 - 6 weeks since the rebuild it has been rock solid. So son't want to tempt fate though want the extra memory.
Excerpt from my motherboard (GA7-VKMLS) manual on memory -
- 2 168-pin SDRAM DIMM sockets
- Supports PC-100/PC-133 SDRAM (Auto)
- Supports up to 1GB DRAM (Max)
- Supports only 3.3V SDRAM DIMM
- Supports 64bit DRAM integrity mode
Can't understand why I am having the RAM problems I am.

In a single PC you want to avoid mixing types - you shouldn't run PC100 with PC133. The motherboard attempts to detect which one you're using and then sets the buss clock rate accordingly, so a mix will confuse it. Putting fast RAM in a slow motherboard can also cause problems, as dynamic RAM requires a periodic refresh to maintain charge in its cells and the slow board may not refresh often enough. The voltage is critical; 5 volt RAM won't work, or will work unreliably in a 3.3V system, and 3.3V RAM in a 5V system will smoke.
Some manufacturers do odd things with memory; I've had Micron systems refuse to operate with anything but Micron RAM. I know that to call it PC100 or any other such industry standard name they have to meet a certain spec, but I think some of them interpret the spec differently. If that's the case, you're stuck. The info in your manual sounds like they intend it to work with any 3.3V PC100/133 RAM, but if Kingston designed this stick to match some weird, non-standard feature of Dell's you may have trouble with it. I'd make a backup of the system and give it a go in any case.

I'm actually leaning towards using the Kingston RAM (Dell equivalent) in the Dell Optiplex GX100 but even that won't play ball with the single 256MB stick in.
The Dell manual says that it handles 256MB sticks so it should work. Also at the office I have a couple of these machines running the 64MB PC100 stick that they came with along side a generic 128MB PC133 stick without missing a beat for the 6 or so weeks they have been in. Something is just trying to f*** me over and it's giving me the sh*ts.
I want to turn this Dell box into a RedHat Linux 9 box that will act as a Web and Mail Server for me as well as a PDC for my Windows boxes. Just for use inside my home network mind you, and I can't even get the RAM to work in it.
I wish these f***ers would all stick to the standards created for the hardware.

"File permission canonicalization exploit attempt detected"
I received it from my firewall a few minutes ago (in fact, it's still being blocked) and I'm curious what it's describing. The intrusion came from a university in Sao Paulo, so I assume it's a student playing on Sunday, not the professor this IP block is assigned to.
