    unfortunately it doesn't work, just makes a intermittent "tock" noise, and the computer can't boot.

    Guy goes to the doctor and says "Doctor I think my wife died".
    The doctor asks him why he thought so.
    "The sex is the same", said the man, "but the dishes are starting to pile up".

  5. what a timely question on Resurrecting Dead Harddrives? · · Score: 1

    A hard drive stopped working for me just a few days ago, and now I'm trying to determine exactly what code I hadn't backed up before I tell my boss :-(, he's probably going to be angry I didn't backup better...turning on the PC makes it make a toc toc toc sound and the bios can't find it and says something like controller error. I tried Knoppix and that says something similar before booting without any drive mounted. Its a seagate IDE drive in case that spurs a memory in some slashdotter about seagates failing and how to repair them. To complicate the issue the drive is in a 4 year leased computer which has to go back next week, so it couldn't have happened at a worse time. I nearly had heart failure when I saw my boss and *his* boss standing around discussing it... I thought they might try to switch it on.... so if any one has extra advice for me I'd be glad to hear it :-)

  9. Re:Yay. on Bochs x86 IA-32 Emulator 2.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    unfortunately having tried both bochs and vmware recently I can tell you its orders of magnitude slower than vmware due to it emulating everything whereas vmware uses the actual processor in the machine.

    I'm in japan too and got a gift of a pentium II 266. RedHat was quite slow on it ....but I installed debian from a Knoppix CD and using FluxBox it runs quite nicely. My friend was quite impressed as he'd seen my attempts at trying other distros and their sluggishness.
