CHR back in business. Another HD down.

Well, it turns out there was another HD failure. This time it was one of the boot disks. Used the spare drive I bought last time around, reinstalled the OS and all of the necessary software to get the site back up and running, and here we are.

Lesson. I think I'm done purchasing 15k rpm HD's. Fast, but they don't seem to be so reliable.

Anyways, it's been a lot of late nights lately, and I hope we're through the storm. Next plan is to buy replacement drives all around to put off some of the troubles we've been seeing.

Sorry for the inconvenience folks.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!:3dSMILE:

Way to go Brent!!!!:)

Thanks Brent for all your hard work.

I feel for you. A few years ago, my 'puter blew up. Like, boom! Smoke and flame and all that. Not a darn thing salvageable. Luckily, my brother had just put everything important on a disc. Whew!

Thanks Brent for everything you do to keep this site up and running.

You might want to check the picture thing. I have tried twice to post some and it keeps coming up "invalid picture"

I thought I was kicked off for no reason. I know, crazy huh?

Good to be back to normal.:whacked::whacked::whacked::whacked::whacked:

I don't think we are totally back to normal Bill. Still can't post any pictures.

Has anyone else tried posting one?


Don

You mean like this?









Yep, no image. Says "Not a valid image file"............it is a jpg image that I've posted here before.


Edit; And just for giggles, over at Car and Enthusiast you don't get anything past the home page.

Same thing I get, with same pictures and procedure I've used a million times. Something is still not fixed.

Bill, just what is normal????:confused:

We've got over 900 patients in our psych hospitals and each and every one thinks their normal.:eek: :whacked: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Actually this morning I came to this site, and as soon as I tried to post, I got an Error 500 and site was gone. Tried several minutes later.. same error - no site. Glad it's now back.

don't buy used SCSI drives ( they are SCSI right? ). lots of company's are selling them " Refurbished " which, with a hard drive, means just a quick test to find bad sectors ect... they come back on warranty issues, and the third party company tests them, slaps a referb label, puts them up for sale cheap. some sites even put the refurbished part, in small print in the ad. make shure of what your buying. cause it might not be what you think. Even 15k RPM drives should last a few years.

and what about C&E brent??????
the error messages suck
