Does The Juzt Reboot Card Live Up To Its Name?

frAme57 asks: "Overclockedcafe has a review of the Juzt Reboot System/Data Recovery Card. Has anyone used one? Is it everything they say it is? It sounds like an interesting idea but a PCI card that does what tape drives and CD burners do does seem a bit...well...farfetched." The review makes the card out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, and it may be just that if it does all it claims it can. Unfortunately a few functions on this card are limited to DOS/Win32, but if it can save you from a catastrophic crash even once, it might turn out to be worth the cash. Anyone have any direct experiences with this hardware that they'd like to share?

  1. Aside from... by Tower · · Score: 3

    The horribly poor writing on the site (worse than some of those badly translated tech manuals), it lists a bunch of things in the FAQ that are sort of worrysome... It will restore Linux, but not with instant recovery mode. Oh, yeah, and "DO NOT install other partition software or hardware that is not provided by MS-DOS FDISK." Sounds harsh. It also specifies a number of specific sizes for NTFS partitions (up to and including a whopping 2200MB)... If you are running NT (even WS), you generally have more disk space than that. If you aure using IDE, don't even think about having your CD-ROM on the same cable as your HD, or your CD-ROM won't show up?!

    Seems like an interesting product, but when your website could be grammar fixed by first graders... here are some good ones:

    "To memorize your supervisor password is very important."

    "Win-NT is for the NTFS file system. Please set the partition size as follows: 800MB, 900MB, 1100MB, 1300MB, 1600MB, 1800MB, 2100MB, 2200MB." Good thing they made NT, otherwise NTFS would have gone unused... or is it that NTFS is for Win-NT?

    "This colon mark is important to avoid abnormal marks appear in Windows device manager."
