Re: I am looking for a DOS based low level format-ing hard drive and SSD drive
I have actually LLF many newrer drives using the old manufacturer tools specific to the drive I'm working on. To do this they need to be attached to a pata port (aka ide) so I use ide to sata adapters to connect sata drives to pata ports. I also use this to wipe and reset Western Digital and Seagate drive smart info so I can get a fresh list of anything wrong after the wipe.

Re: Folder Is empty
Copy the files to another disk once you recover them, then move shit around and see what happens.

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Im the same way, I can even remember paying like $10 for a I/O shield before I just made them, now with a 3d printer you can make all of them fast and cheap....

Re: Company Locked Laptops
If you do what I said it's like a new computer, you can install any windows or whatever you want.

None want a computer that can never connect to the internet, so what I said or make a bookend.

Re: Server Upgrade?
All the drives I have are fully tested and pass manufacturers diagnostic, no smart warnings.

Re: Server Upgrade?
Tons of older drives can be had for pennies, I have 4 boxes (around 400) of good drives ATA and SATA, I'm sure Topcat has a room full.

Re: Company Locked Laptops
You have to change the windows hardware I'd period.

Re: Company Locked Laptops
The windows hardware I'd cant be cleared by any bios flash, Autopilot is on Microsoft's end, same as any Microsoft product that verifys the key, but autopilot looks to a another server before Microsoft's and if a company has it listed it uses that config. The only way to have it stop looking at a company server is change the windows hardware I'd, which is what is used7 in Autopilot.

Re: Server Upgrade?
I get confused on what your objective is other to buy more stuff, what function was the old server not providing that you felt you needed to upgrade it?

Re: Company Locked Laptops
I believe changing the windows hardware ID from the one linked to Autopilot will also solve your problem.

Asus old-school stuff would have issues posting with a dead cmos battery.
