The array had gone into a failed state, and decided to pull 1 drive out of the array as well. I tried removing the 1 drive, re-adding it as a spare, but it would not take/rebuild. I used about 14 different recovery software applications (get data back, undelete, raid recovery, ubuntu live disc, R-Studio, etc) , over the span of 4 days and I could only recover 1/6 items I lost. I was hosed, as a last resort, I decided to rebuild the array, EXACTLY how it was prior to losing the data.

What I did was delete the entire 6 disk array, and re-built the array as I had done before this fiasco. My steps are a little more technical, these are assuming you know how to set up your own raid. If you need any more help, you can comment and i’ll respond.

Step 1 ) Remove array, via option 3 in CTRL – I
Step 2 ) Recreate array with the exact same HDD’s as before
Step 3 ) Use the exact same options as before, raid 5, 64KB strip, etc
Step 4 ) boot into windows
Step 5 ) Go to Disk Management
Step 6 ) It will ask you to specify the GPT or MBR, select the option you previously chose
Step 7 ) Go through the options, but do NOT format the disk
Step 8 ) Use Getdataback, or some other NTFS recovery software

It took about 5 minutes for GetDataBack to show me my entire file structure, and recover ALL of my data back, 100%.

This is all assuming you have NOT done the following :

1) formatted your hdd
2) raid 5, with ICH9R controller – fakeraid
3) you did NOT write any data to your hdd’s
4) technically, this should work with 5 out of 6 HDD’s, or 2 out of 4, etc for a raid 5

I did not think this would work, but boy was I happy I tried it.

Took us less then 10 days to get 19 appliances deployed at all of our remote branches. We had users actually deploy them, after writing up a how-to (that’s how easy it is to deploy!) Each branch only has a single T1, and this is what our WAN usage looks like after 2-3 months of usage….lots of bandwidth saved .

All we have left now, is to remove remote servers (print serving, dns, dhcp, etc), and centralize personal drives (these are still on location).

The traffic we’re seeing the biggest reductions on is CIFS, NOTES, Exchange, and our local sharepoint site.

CAUSE: This issue may occur if the TCP/IP protocol has become unbound from the dial-up adapter, or if a conflict is created when a second WAN Miniport IP device driver loads. Back to the top Back to the top

RESOLUTION: To resolve this issue, uninstall the WAN Miniport IP and PPTP devices. To do so, follow these steps:

To be safe, uninstall the CISCO VPN (if you use it). You should also remove the BB, or Aircard from device manager.

Step 1:

1. Open Device Manager
2. Under the View menu click Show hidden devices.
3. Under Network adapters, you will see WAN Miniport IP devices. If a WAN Miniport IP device is listed, continue to the following step. If no WAN Miniport IP devices are listed, go directly to step 16.
4. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
5. Locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
6. On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File, type backup-key in the File name box, and then click Save. (Note You can restore the changes that you make to this registry key. To do so, double-click the backup-key.reg file that you saved.)
7. Click each of the registry subkeys under this key, and then view the Data column of the DriverDesc value to determine which of the subkeys corresponds to WAN Miniport (IP). For example, the 0005 subkey.
8. Right-click the subkey whose DriverDesc value data is WAN Miniport (IP) or WAN Minport (PPTP); (for example, right-click 0005), and then click Delete. Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the key.
9. Quit regedit
10. Open Device Manager
11. On the View menu, click Show hidden devices.
12. Under Network adapters, uninstall the WAN Miniport (IP) and the WAN Miniport (PPTP).

Step 2: Reinstall the WAN Miniports

1. Find netrasa.inf in c:\windows\inf
2. Make a copy of the file and name it netrasa.inf.save
3. Open the original copy of netrasa.inf
4. Under the [ControlFlags] section: place a semicolon in front of the line that starts with Excludefromselect=\
5. Continue to add semicolons to all the lines beneath until coming to the line: MS_NdisWanNbfIn,MS_NdisWanNbfOut

Step 3:

1. Start the Add New Hardware wizard from the Control Panel
2. Select the hardware is already installed.
3. Select “Add a new hardware device” from the end of the list.
4. Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list. (Advanced)
5. Select “Network Adapters” followed by “Microsoft” and then both the PPTP and the IP Wan miniport one at a time. (NO need to reboot between these steps)
6. Reboot after running through the wizard for both the PPTP and IP miniport.
7. Select Start -> Run and type: netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt (For details, see KB299357)
8. Reboot and try your connection. This worked for me and has worked for others.

Hopefully this helps some people, Verizon has no idea what’s going on, so I had to find this on my own.

update July 26th 2010 : This also fixes the US Cellular’s error 720 with a UM175, or 185.

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration places your server and Microsoft Internet Explorer in a configuration that decreases the exposure of your server to potential attacks that can occur through Web content and aplication scripts. As a result, some Web sites may not display or perform as expected.

For Windows Server 2003 Users

The quickest way to remove it for Server 2003 is to uninstall it: Go to Control Panel, then Add or Remove Programs, then click on Add/Remove Windows Components uncheck the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration and click on next.

For Windows Server 2008 Users

In Windows Server 2008, you have to click on the root folder in server manager. Then you scroll down to the Security Information Section and click “Configure IE ESC”. You can turn off IE ESC for Administrators and/or for users. The latter in a Terminal Server environment.

I did this on my laptop, with windows xp pro sp3 32bit. I also wiped my phone completely before this, whit a clean 3.1.3 install. If you are going to do this on a phone you want to keep data, i’d advise backing it up first via itunes.

this method will work for :

* Any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2. Any baseband
* An activated device: one not stuck on the Connect to iTunes or Emergency Call screen.
* Any version of iTunes 9 earlier than 9.2

Pre-reqs:

* iphone 3gs 32gb with 3.1.3 and Baseband 05.12.01 (other phones will work
* itunes 9.1.1 or older : http://filehippo.com/download_itunes_32/7482/
* spirit jb : http://spiritjb.com/win
* working wifi

Step 1 :
If you have itunes 9.2, or newer, you need to uninstall it completely, a reboot wouldn’t hurt afterwards either.

Step 2 :
Install itunes 9.1.1 – or older.

Step 3 :
plug in iphone

Step 4 :
run spiritjb.exe, hit jailbreak, now your phone will reboot

Step 5 :
turn on your wifi, and connect your wifi

Step 6 :
turn OFF 3G

Step 7 :
Click on the Cydia icon to open Cydia.

Step 8 :
Click Manage on the bottom of the screen.

Step 9 :
Select “Sources” from the middle of the screen.

Step 10 :
Tap “Edit” in the top right, and then tap “Add” in the top left.

Step 11 :
Type in the “http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com” without the quotes. Note, the 0 in sn0w is a zero. When you have finished press “Add Source”

Step 12 :
Cydia will now download the source information and add it to Cydia…

Step 13 :
When it is complete, press “Return to Cydia”

Step 14 :
Now press “Done” in the top right and then press search on the bottom right.

Step 15 :
In the search bar type “ultrasn0w” and then press search.

Select Ultrasn0w and then press Install in the top right.

Step 17 :
Press “Confirm” in the top right to confirm the download

Step 18 :
Wait while Ultrasn0w downloads….

Step 19 :
When the download is complete press “Reboot Device” on the bottom

Step 20 :
While the device is rebooting you can insert your sim card if you havent done so already.

Now ya should be done ^_^.

The main premise of the site was to have a forum/community with no ads, one section, and where you can talk about anything … and I mean anything (torrents, illegal/legal, porn, P&N shit, swearing, etc….it’s all allowed).

I am hoping it becomes a hit, i’ve always been a huge fan of online communication, and information sharing.

This is a D9N :

This is the poor aftermath :

Me (vivi the mage) and my brother (peez) have this on going joke that everyone runs from “team srdar’s”…because it’s technically true. We’ve made people leave servers, we’ve cleared servers out with our pure ownage.

peez “OMG, it’s VIVI, everyone run”
“peez exits the game”
“everyone on his team follows”
I get a free win

Hilarious, wish I was recording.
Something we did in Warcraft 3 3v3′s. Somehow he chanced on the other team and did this. That was the first “Team Srdar” moment.

BUT, our most recent ‘team srdar’ ownage was in Bad Company 2
