I used to have heat problems in summer time (it's winter now) and regular breakdowns of hardware due to ambient temperature going well over 40C. I am tempted to replace 3 HDD in my PC with SSD drives and I wonder if the inside of my machine will be substantially cooler, or if the SSD tolerate heat better than the HDD.

I'm on an HP pavilion dv7
Just put a fresh clean copy of Lucid on the laptop. I have noticed this for a while on the otherr versions and distros also, and finally started looking at. My laptop runs, contantly.The fan seems to be always running. I don't have more the a couple of applications at time, I don't use it for work, so nothing extensive. Web browsing, music, email, photos. End user stuff. So I added a heat application in the panel just to see what was happening. I can get the temp down to around 150F-ish if I am not even looking at the laptop. But, open anything and start workingand I am sitting arround 183F-185F. Is this normal? I am just getting toired of having such a hot laptop on my lap, I even have a pad under it so the air can circulate witht the fan, but, a constant running fan is what I have and the heat can be felt through the pad if I am sitting for a couple of hours.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm just interested if there does exist any utility for creating bootable flash drives? I mean, if I could make somehow LiveCD with KDE desktop on openSUSE? I used Ubuntu and it had it's own utility with nice GUI, it just needed any bootable .ISO file or bootable CD/DVD and it created LiveCD on USB flash drive. So is there any chance to find something similar?
I work in a computer service center and it'll be very helpful (I think) to have bootable USB Flash dive with operating system to log into dead operating system partitions. Of course I have Windows LiveCD, but it has as much bugs as it's parent big brother.Oh, I forget to post my operating system versio. I'm using openSUSE 11.2 x64 with KDE version 4.3.5

Yes, I know, I know, there are lots of instructions out there on how to create a persistent Linux USB drive. However, I've been having a really hard time finding if it's possible to create the WHOLE thing persistent.For example, I want to turn my 8 GB thumb drive into a portable Debian Squeeze where I can install (persistent) apps and make root-level changes to the filesystem. Is this possible?

I used to use DriveImage XML and it was a FANTASTIC program, but unfortunately the boot CD containing it can only be created by having Windows installed. So it might be time to explore a new program that is equally simple and effective as that one.
I'd like your recommendations of imaging programs that are free, and that work off a boot CD/DVD (because the live backup thing generally takes much longer for imaging an entire disk).
One thing I liked about DriveImage XML was that it stored the backup in a fairly readable format, so if one day DriveImage XML were no longer available you wouldn't lose your backed up data. Any such programs?
Also, would these programs work for a drive that contains an encrypted root partition (i.e. enabling the encryption checkbox in the CentOS installation)?
The motherboard currently installed on my PC has a RAID Utility (Ctrl+I) at the startup that allow creating RAID1. But I already have a system installed with CentOS 5.4.

I have a NAS and Ubuntu 10.x I like to make a shortcut from a folder on the NAS drive to the desktop.
If i right click on the file and click 'Make Link' it tells me that the target does not support symbolic links.

is there maybe a way so mount the NAS like a fixed system disk? Because from the system disc I am able to make links.
I am trying to create a boot-able flash drive of Windows 7. I have the .iso and the flash drive.[URL].That article covers the creation process rather well, however i have one problem.

After that it says to issue the install command, and it quits with errors.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm overall realitively new to Ubuntu 11.0.4 and I had some questions regarding this operating system. I just wanted to inform everyone, that I'm attempting to make a transition, from a life time Windows user and a current Windows 7 Ultimate user, to being a Ubuntu user.
I am becoming fedup with Windows 7, because i dislike how much system resources, it requires to run, and in addition I'm skeptical about Windows security. I had a lot of bad experiences with the Windows updates as well, so I was kind of alienated, as one can imagine. What I did like about Windows 7, is how easy it was, to configure the user group policies. I was wondering if you were able to do that in Ubuntu latest release.
I also was wondering, if it were possible, to create a hard drive image, that I can just load up, if I ever needed to reformat, like I did in Windows 7.
in my windows7 laptop, I installed a virtualbox 4.0 then Fedora 14 as OS. Can I transfer the files from Linux system to windows syatem? I mean can I create a relationship between two OS like mapping network drive?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to make an image of a 300GB hdd and I'm looking for a program that can do this.
There's one hdd with one single partition, 300GB size and I want to create an image of the hdd. To make things more clear, I want a mirror of a hdd.
Thing is, I have a server machine over the internet, which has a 300GB hdd single partition and I want to copy its contains, including OS.
I know Acronis, I worked with it before, but... idk if it has a gb limit when creating a image of a hdd. Acronis can backup/restore images of a hdd via internet, if you have an acronis server.
Let's put it this way, I don't have time (liek always... sorry 'bout that, but I'm not lazy, I just don't have time ) to search for a program and to make tests, and I would like a little help, maybe point to a program / solution that you guys have been tested.
- Remember it's a single 300GB hdd with a single partition. I want to copy the hdd over the internet, that's why I'm pointing to a program that can makes an image of that hdd over the internet.
Like... it's not that I want especially a program that can do this, maybe there's other solution aswell. Just feel free and share your solution/opinion whatever.
