Did I lose my settings RAID if I remove the CMOS BATTERY?

Server Dell Poweredge 1600.

My server running, but I get no message, no video and no beeps because a disabled person the speaker in the BIOS.

I've heard to see if the CMOS battery is dead, but we have important things that has not been saved to disk.

I'm not an expert on server but I doubt that disabling the speaker in the BIOS, if these options are still possible, stop a post and video output. I do not see how a dead cmos battery stop post I have an iomega Server I play with dead circuits RTC so cannot keep time and I started successfully without cmos battery installed. So I would say there is something else with your hardware, you need to find flaws...

As a first step, I would take the minimum system needed to post (2 DIMM, 1 CPU and none of the cards or HARD drive) and see if you can access the BIOS. Then put back one item at a time in the system and get to see if you can get into the BIOS with each addition... The issue that causes post failure corresponds to the faulty but if cannot post a minimum configuration, it may be the power supply, dimm or mobo, cpu...

I also understand that the RAID configuration is actually stored as metadata on the HDD of the themselves, while the RAID card to know these specific HDD are inserted into the slots. As the RAID metadata is at the disk themselves, they can be moved to another (compatible) system where the HARD drive would be considered a foreign configuration. After you import the foreign configuration, you will have access to your data.

But I haven't played with moving HARD drive between the RAID cards in other systems, so don't know the intricacies of the compatibility. If something is not that you can always loose DataUn so do not have a backup is to ask for trouble...

(So now I should listen to my own words and go make a backup now )

  • Firefox is acting as it comes to install every morning when I wake up. He loses the privacy settings, home page and shows the start-up firfox and firefox home.

    He also loses the addons, like personas. I tried to reset firefox and deleting the prefs.js. There is none of the other files mentioned in the article on how fix firefox does not save the settings. Every day that it starts with the Welcome to Firefox and Mozilla Firefox Start Page my homepage EVEN instead after I created my homepage and he remembers.

I remember stuff like my bookmarks, history and tabs pinned, but he doesn't remember my privacy settings for him is not to suggest stuff on the address of my history and bookmarks toolbar.

    As of the time of this message, I did not my settings for troubleshooting information are the status of firefox is in when I open it first from a morning. What the hell is happening?

    What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

    Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that can cause problems to protect and restore files in the Firefox profile folder.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

    I have Nikon D4s and I assumed new Adobe Photoshop CC open camera raw, but I was wrong, did I lose time and money to upgrade

    It opens images of D4. Check what version of camera raw you have. Camera raw 8 was installation on versions of 2015 for a reason, and, I think, you need at least 8.4. If you have 8.4 or above, did you use Nikon software to transfer the images? It has been known to corrupt the files of some cameras so PS can not open them.

  • How can I remove the "crumbs" of an uninstalled spyware that brought me to lose internet connectivity?

    This problem is not specific to Vista. Last year, I bought a new laptop of Dell Studio with XP SP3 installed. Everything worked very well; but was my former spyware removal software is more of his work. I could tell my internet experience slowed but the program did not come with any spyware/malware to remove. So, I went back to a program that I used about 5 years that seems to work for us: Stopzilla. I could tell immediately something was wrong, because while the program seems to work fine while I was online, when I tried to use it to search for existing infections stagnant 1% fine and would never go any further.

    I tried an uninstall. The function of "uninstall a program" Windows would not be set up Stopzilla for uninstall. Of course, I was in trouble. Used another 3rd part of the program of cleaning of registry problems, etc., but it also uninstalled programs. Apparently, not good enough. I then did a "search" for all the files/folder (hidden or not) that had attached to it Stopzilla and remove results. Still nothing.

    As I've studied how to remedy this problem, I found many references to lose internet connectivity wireless due to the remains of these types of programs related to system functions.

    I did all the basics: checked the connection itself, checked my network settings, check the configuration of the router, ping the ip address, renew the ip address, checked the DNS server address, etc, etc.  Even gone beyond that and used the ip address 'reinstall' difficulty and even tried track things directly through the registry. Nothing. Still unable to connect to the internet using ANY browser and can only use it locally.

    I am about to take the computer to a PC clinic but really won't be without the phone for days because of a major project deadline.  Is there anything I can do to get my wireless connection working again?

    Thank you - gstrumberger

    STOPzilla says on its site that its compatible with win98 through win 7, which could lead me to suspect its validity, and since you were unable to uninstall it, well...

    Copy old files to the new profile:

    a. go to C:\Users\Corrupted_Profile_Name\. The name of the profile will be the corrupted ProfileName.

    b. copyall files.

    c. Open Panel and the display of folder options uncheck Hide protected operating system files.

    d. navigate to C:\Users\Corrupted_Profile_Name and copy the Appdata folder.

    Note: Do not copy these three files. NtUser.dat, NtUser.ini, NtUser.log.
