Are you getting any error messages, if so post 'em to this thread. Also, this might seem like a stupid question, but do you have MySQL installed on your system?

This is all music to my ears... Simon would love to hear about one of my coworker's favorite devices. It's called a "user alignment tool", basically smacking said user upside the head with a...

You are looking at the issue from the wrong perspective. You actually WANT people to get viruses - it's called "job security" for you! Each time Mr/Mrs Dingleberry come back, it's cha-ching!

NICE!

BTW, I feel your pain ; my FT-897d is still in the box - never been opened - after almost 4 years! When I have time, I have nobody available to help; when people are available to help, I...

[~]$ /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/hdparm -t /dev/sdf2

/dev/sdf2:
