One of the disks in my RAID 5 array went last week. I replaced it with the same model drive (bought refurbed) but the array isn't rebuilding. Server Administrator is showing the disk as 'removed' and doesn't give me any options. The orange light is blinking on the hard drive (in addition to the server). I did a hot swap and thought the rebuild should happen automatically).

Currently I have a lot of songs in my iTunes rated by myself. Assume that I need to change the location of all the songs / save the ratings for a future reference in case I have to format my hard drive. Can I save the ratings anywhere in the hard drive or in the song file itself ?

I need to install Ubuntu inside of Windows XP, but the installer ask me to enter an (installation size) that should vary between 3 to 30GBs. I have an internal hard disk of 60GBs with 30GBs free. My question is if I allocated 30GBs for Ubuntu, would I be able to use this space in both Windows and Ubuntu? The only reason that I'm using the Wubi method is because I don't wand to lose space from portioning the hard drive.

My wife has a laptop that has been torn the heck apart by virus among virus, shes downloaded all the stupid things any unsuspecting computer user would.
I want to restore her computer to factory state, but alas, she has no disk, and there is no partition on the hard drive to allow this.
Now I have a windows vista 32bit home premium ISO, and I have tried burning it to a dvd.
But when I go to install it on her computer, it says that there is an error, about the install file missing or inaccessible.
Is there any way to make this work without going and buying a completely new copy of windows?

I'm just worried if it will accept the eMachines copy of Vista, i figure it should...since i'm pulling the entire hard drive out. I ordered a new case, motherboard, vid card, and CPU, so its basically like a new machine...

Every once in awhile, my IE will stop responding. For example, when I click on a link to load a webpage, it will just stay blank and the window will go to "Not Responding." It sometimes also freezes when loading images from my own hard drive. I scanned with Norton, Scanned with Ad-aware, nothing found. Read somewhere that it might have been a problem Real Player -- uninstalled it, but problems persist. What do you suppose might be then?

It totally disables your Computer. Nothing will open or run...and the more you try to disable it...the more entrenched it becomes. I've been told it hides in the system restore files. Screen becomes opaque white. I reloaded the laptop, and have placed higher level security programs on it, while raising the security level of the firewall.
Seems that the way it gets to you is that a screen pops up and says you are infected with an amount of viruses. Then asks you to buy a program that looks legit. When you click the 'X' to move on along......whoa.....you just loaded it!
I'm past it now, but took several days of trying to figure what was going on with it. My computer diagnostics even said I had a bad Hard-drive......not so.
