General Software Discussion / Re: Need Disk Imaging tool that can restore from external HDD
« on: February 27, 2012, 03:46 PM »
1. Is your external USB hard drive a USB 3.0 or not?  If it is, I don't think Easeus linux bootable disk has USB 3.0 drivers, only 2.0 and 1.1.

2. Also, try to connect the USB drive to your computer while it is off and then boot with the bootable disk.

3. Creating a Easeus WinPE bootable disk rather than the default linux bootable disk may also resolve your issue.  Most of the bootable disks from backup/recovery vendors are linux based by default and may give an option for WinPE based bootable disk. 

4. There's also the possibility of looking at BIOS settings regarding the USB interface.

The tool I use give both for an option and even a DOS based one with USB drivers.  Not free but reasonable from Terabyte Unlimited: Image for DOS ($30), Image for Linux($30), Image for Windows ($39 but you are also licensed to DL and use the DOS and Linux version; so it's 3 in 1).  The title of DOS and Linux is sort of a misnomer, it does not mean the operating system you are trying to image , but it is the nature of the bootable disk it creates.  The Image for Windows version is that it is installed on Windows and can do live imaging while Windows is running, while the DOS and Linux version are run from bootable USB or disks.

For free give these a look:
Macrium Reflect ( http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx )
DriveImage XML ( www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm ) free a try.
Also there is Redo Backup which imaging and restore are both from the bootable linux cd. http://redobackup.org

Developer's Corner / Re: SQL Query is Kicking my Ass.

Take out the #7 Having clause and run the query. 
Is this the subset that you want the "max" timestamp to be chosen from?

I think it's where the issue lies when you try to bring PC2 timestamp into the picture.  If it is then at least you can try the other methods (sub queries, temp files, etc) you've tried to see if it get's the one "max" timestamp from your subset.

Oh and also, since you are dealing with timestamp, make sure the computer setting as far as timezones is consistent between the machines that produces the timestamp data into the database.  Had this issue once where the timestamp data was created on an Oracle Unix database which was in GMT settings, versus the Crystal report running on windows with the local timezone settings.  Once I made things consistent (forgot whether which I changed - windows timezone OR how Crystal Reports handled date time string) the report ran as expected.

Developer's Corner / Re: Need Advice on MySQL Server Tuning

You have to determine where most of the report work is being done... the client PC or the server.  Maybe put the SQL as a stored procedure on the server and have the client PC call that rather than doing the SQL reporting stuff on the client PC.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Block/Unblock all network traffic button (one-click)

Another alternative is set up a static private ip on the network card you are using.

You can use NetSetMan to create a profile for that card to assign a static private ip of 169.254.x.x
and another profile to auto assign IP and DNS.  This way it's sort-of one click.

I use NetSetMan to assign various static IPs, or to switch to various DNS servers.

You need to take a look at the website's css stylesheet that it is using. Looks like it's at /css/home.css
