Quit whining.

I'm guessing this is a homework assignment?

Marked as solved.

I'd say scan it with Mbam and Avast (free versions of both are available). It's entirely possible that you have a boot sector nasty. A boot sector nasty can easily survive a full format of the hard drive as even a full format won't re-write the boot sector.

I'm not saying that this is definitely the cause of your problem but it's a good possibility!

I doubt any modern antivirus will run on non-NT systems.

Rolling back your windows updates shouldnt delete your mail....

I actually have another question.

I encountered an issue while trying to install Windows, it cannot find any drives.

Before this I made sure to partition my drive using GParted and then format it to NTFS file system. Is this all I have to do for Windows to recognize it, or is there more?

I know the disk is fine because the BIOS sees it and I can boot normally in Ubuntu, it's just that Windows cannot see the NTFS partition I made. Thank you!

Your disk controller may not be supported "out of the box". To get windows to install on my server, for example, I had to put the disk array driver on a floppy for setup to see it.

Try rolling back the updates?

On Ubuntu just install the openjdk packages (I think default-jre and default-JDK are meta packages for this). I develop Jave EE apps on Ubuntu LTS fine.

Cant we have a sneak peek?

Is there a copy protected disk in the drive?

If i have e.g. a game in my dvd drive, I hang for ages at the same point - I assume this is due to this "shell hardware detection service"

You cant read it in XP, but you can still wipe the drive and start again with a new FAT partition.

Right click my computer -> Manage
Go into "Disk management"

In there you can partition and format the drive as you see fit.

XP was a pain on my dell 5150. I had to get the "HD Audio" hotfix from MS.

what is that antivirus for? There is no any virus in linux

I can only assume he is setting up a linux mail/file server. In which case Clam is a good idea to protect windows clients.

if it ends in x86_64.rpm, thats a program for 64 bit. Get the 32 bit one instead. If you want to install Clam under RHEL or Fedora, dont use the RPMs, install it using "yum install clamav"

Javascript. Use AJAX.

Are you using roaming profiles or not? (if its not an XP Pro machine on a work network, you probably wont be)

Most likely your user folder has wrong permissions or your NTUSER.DAT has become corrupt or something.

If windows nukes grub (the ubuntu bootloader) you can easialy fix it by booting off the livecd and running a few commands (grub-install hd0 normally does it)

use J2ME. It's for Mobile applications.

Wrong. Android is not Java ME. It uses Dalvik, a fork of the Java SE VM.

For android download the "For Java Developers". Then download and install the Android SDK.

Instructions here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

Yes, when you make a project in VC++ untick the box "use precompiled headers". You can delete stdafx.h and then set "Precompiled Header Support" (something along those lines to NO in the project properties page.

Keep it legal please.

Are you doing an upgrade using the CD, or a digital upgrade using "Anytime Upgrade"

he original US colonists who rebelled against the UK could have been branded as terrorists under this loose definition

They *were*.

Also remember that a lot of secret funding for the IRA came from US citizens

We *do* remember. Hence i dont eat at McDonalds....

But most of the top posters have custom titles as they are staff or donators...

One thing to bear in mind for large scale projects:

Have *clear* requirements. Else you will get "feature creep"
Use source control!
Have a way of tracking bugs/defects
Write tests! And ensure you dont get regressions
Use a proper build system
Document how to actually use and build the system for others

Donate or become staff, and you can choose your own title :)

Welcome

You can run a mail server on a LAN, yes. Exchange is probably overkill, if its Linux, there are loads of options...

I have written a good explanation of how android manages apps and memory here in "The Android OS Architecture"

http://james-bennet.com/?p=150

Its my own website, so sorry for the spam :p but its very relevant to this question, as I go on to explain how the back-stack, activities and suspend/resume work. Should answer your questions...

You can only install SQL Server on Windows Server, the developer version can run on Ultimate edition etc... I had to do it for a student project...

Plus, this doesnt belong here.Will move it to C++/Java/etc... if you tell me which is correct.

return() returns void (returns control back to the caller) , while return 0 returns a value, the integer 0....

For example, a function to calculate after-tax-pay might take be called by another function. e.g. getEmployeeInfo() may supply our calculatePay() method with the paramaters payrate (int), and taxband (char), do some processing, and return a figure represnting the after-tax-pay. getEmployeeInfo() is then free to do something with this result i.e. print it to the screen.

In the case of main() returning anything, returns control to the OS. The number can be used to indicate success or failure. E.g a daemon returning on a sever may return a value of -1 to the OS to indicate that it had encountered an error, this could then be noted, and recorded to a log.

Because hundreds of people (e.g. foreign oil workers) are always getting kidnapped and killed there etc.... its a dangerous place to go to.

A county which sponsors terrorism. E.g libya was a terrorist country, as their government sold explosives to the IRA....

18, but only because I need it to get into pubs.... its a good form of photo ID, indeed the only universally-accepted one. And cheaper than a passport

Only got a provisional though (im nearly 22 now) i cba learning how to drive.

The group claiming responsibility have killed around 250 people this year, usually targeting Nigerian officials. I think the scale of the matter alone suggests that 'terrorism' is a valid monicker for the way in which this group is acting.

Agreed. 3 or 4 thousand were killed over the ~35 years of the "troubles" in Northern Ireland. They were terrorist acts, but it didn't make the United Kingdom a terrorist country....

My password is always the day of the week my password was created. I tell people that, too, because it's not like they'll know what day of the week I created it. That makes it secure. Extremely secure

Reasons you fail:

*Short
*Dictionary word
*Only alphabetic characters of a single case.

Does your host actually support ASP.NET scripts? Most dont.

I use it because even when you are paying for it (to call lanlines) its still cheaper than BT, which is good for me (im a student).

Thats normal. BCD (The windows 7 bootloader) is installed on the MBR. When you choose Older System, it chainloads NTLDR for booting XP.

I had the same thing to get Vista, XP and NT4 to work together (with them all chaining off eachother).

Closing this thread. Its attracting spammers.

Not used netbeans for python, but for C++ and Java it rocks.

Eclipse in general is a bit more stable under linux than windows, but still eats lots of memory.

Yeah i used HeadFirst for Java SE and it was good, but some people love it and some hate it.

I spotted it and flagged it and someone else actually did it (i dont have editing privileges on the java board)

Note. contact me through my email address not in the site.

Thats not allowed.

I am. Go to the sun site and make sure you download the rpm.bin version and follow the instructions. Give it execute permissions then execute it in interactively the console, and agree to the licence agreement. The script will then extract and install the nececerarry packages.

System.Diagnostics.Start()?

Oh right, an operations manual. Well, there isnt really a simple definition? A computer is a complex machine which performs operartions which is is programmed to do on some input, and returns some output.

Yep. iPhones dont have Java. And the SDK only runs on OSX. And Objective C is evil (as is Cocoa).

I cant understand what you mean.
