General Software Discussion / Re: Best Linux Distro for Windows HDD recovery

« on: December 02, 2014, 01:31 PM »

Actually I do try Windows first to see if I can copy files.  But it doesn't do any good when Windows doesn't see the drive.  But Linux can.  I usually use UBCD for a lot of stuff, but in my last case, it didn't do me any good.

So I thought instead of using a live cd, i would just install Linux.  But I guess with a live cd, i can always get the latest and greatest release.

I am somewhat familar with all the ones  you listed above.

thanks for the recommendation.

General Software Discussion / Best Linux Distro for Windows HDD recovery

« on: December 02, 2014, 11:31 AM »

I have been trying out some Linux rescue disks like BootMed, Avira Rescue Disk, UBCD for windows hard drive recovery.  I am considering installing Linux on a old computer just for this purpose.  Is there a certain distro that comes with lots of recovery tools built into the OS?

appreciate the help

I used K-Melon a number of years ago.  It was lightening fast. I don't remember why I quit using it.

General Software Discussion / online charting or mind mapping that intregates with google drive

« on: November 12, 2014, 01:10 PM »

I am looking for some kind of app be it desktop, online or what that does flowcharting, mind mapping, or diagramming, whatever you want to call it.

 I know a lot can be done with spreadsheets but I have no idea how to start.

all I want is boxes with names and phone numbers inside of them. I don't want lines connecting the boxes.  Just to be able to drag a shape, edit the text and add the next one.  I would like to see something that auto arranges.  Auto arrange by inserting a new box in between 2 existing and then it automatically moves the others to allow the new one to be in place just like the others.  Same thing when I would change the page margins or paper size.

It doesn't need a chromebook app to work, preferrably in the cloud and integrates with google drive.

I have looked at Mindmeister, Mindmup, Mindmaps, Gliffy, Lucidchart.  Lucidchart is the closest but it doesn't auto arrange.

Free would be wonderfull.

I am open to suggestions.

whoops.  Didn't mean to include Davey and Goliath although I used to watch them. 

By the time 1967 got here, I was almost in high school, thus no more cartoons until the kids started in the late 70s.

Most of the ones on this list, I used to watch Cartoons of the 60s

Particularly these: 1-6, 16, 25, 42, 46, 64, 70, 75, 79, 81.  too numerous to mention by name.  I couldn't find the road runner and Wiley e coyote on the list, maybe that was later.

We have one of the older Phasers at one of our schools.  makes a nice copy but its expensive to operate.  The maintenance kit gets replaced every 40k pages.  Have problems with the control panel display too.

General Software Discussion / screenshots when not logged into computer

« on: August 17, 2014, 01:44 PM »

This has probably been around the block a time or two, so here goes another round.

I am needing to make a tutorial on how to log into a domain on win 7 and also to change users.  I have googled this but apparently do not have the right keywords to find what I want.

It can either be a "screenshot utility" or one that makes a movie. Whatever it is, it needs to be able to record when no one is logged into the computer. 

lookin for advice

If you click the link in the OP, there are more links at the top of the page. those first two are what we get out here in west central Kansas(rural).  Its a big problem for us because our school uses a alert system to notify parents of no school, etc..  Those telcos using a 3rd party to deliver the message do not want to pay for access to our telco.  hence the call gets dropped.

Deozaan, they are the muffler on a car.  but they are not stock mufflers.  Glass packs are usually a little louder that stock.  If done correctly they will have that sweet rumble sound and cackle when you back off the throttle.

What SeraphimLabs is talking about is your 4 and 6 cylinders sound like a buzz or sometime a sewing machine.

And then you have those, usually pickups that are just LOUD and sound horrible. 

Sorry for the hijack

Glass packs?  I haven't heard that term in a long time.  Also known as Cherry Bombs or Smittys.
