Computers & Internet - 6 October 2006

I have installed my new USB HD 250 gig (still unformated). My PC can detects the new USB mass storage device, but it appears nowhere, no drive letter, nothing. This happens both on my desktop as well as my laptop. I am using windows XP.

Any hints ?

Thanks in advance, Yoel

I work on a large LAN and I'd like to be able to show users the actual speed of the network in BYTES per second. I don't want to just send large files across it and see how long they take because that is also dependent on computer speed. This test should just generate random data from one NIC and see how fast another NIC can receive it and show the results in simple terms. In other words, it should just hammer the network and show me what it can do.

I've found some programs that do similar things, or seem to, but none that just do this one task well. They all seem to be limited by how fast a machine can pull data off the hard drive (in the case of gigabit links) and I want to be able to say "The actual top speed between This building and That building is X megaBYTES per second."

Anyone know of a simple (cheap/free) app that can do this?

Rigth now the laptop has 2X256mb (400mhz) ram chips filling the 2 slots. Do you think it would be best to remove both of the current chips and replace them with the larger faster 1gb ram (leaving the other slot emply) or should I keep one of them in (=1.25gb total)?

My company is getting a new FTP server. Is XP sufficient, or is the cost of Win2003Server still justified for merely running an FTP server on this machine?

Also- what is the best practice for FTP... Do i really need RAID1 for OS & RAID5 for data? Thats how our main servers will be setup, but i'm not sure its necessary on something as simple as an FTP machine.

I am having trouble downloading torrents, I click download and then simply ask to save the icon...it never really starts to download. I am just interested in tv so if anyone can take me through step by step ways of doing that on a good site that would be great, since I live in spain and don't speak the language. Thanks a TON!
