Two of them, hmmm. So, now you do wish it were easier to get an HDD
in/out the first?

Not really all that necessary in my case. Why would I? They
are only backup drives.

No, I'm just saying, one should be enough, if the HDDs are removable
& meant only for backup.


I'm getting another one for backing up my OTHER internal HD. I
have TWO internal HDs, which logically need TWO external drives for
backup. OK, now I think we're done. :-)


I still don't get it. Are you going to back them up simultaneously or
one at a time?


One at a time, and usually at completely different times of the month.
There is no relation between the two (as to when I do them). Only one is
the boot (and program) drive, however, and so I back that one up a LOT more
often.

When the second USB external HD enclosure comes in, I'll put it on the desk
right next to the other one, and plug one or the other in (via the USB 2.0
connector) when I want to make the backups. Actually, I could leave them
both connected (but turned off) since I have a two port USB 2.0 card, but
I'd rather have one of the USB connectors free and disconnected for other
things).

Very, very, very easy to do.

| | | | |
| | | | | That happens to be an update to a TZ "fix" that was
| | | | | discussed in this forum via several threads.
| | | | | To combat, or rather address other potential aspects
| | | | | which may be related [or not] Gary Terhune MVP created
| | | | | [or is modifying/creating] a TZ file for all versions of
| | | | | Windows, with the various issues related to other areas
| | | | | of the world [if I remember correctly].
| | | | |
| | | | |http://www.grystmill.com/articles/tz_update.htm
| | | |
| | | | Subsequently, Terhune agreed with John John in another
| | | | thread that steps (g) though (j) [below] would also have to
| | | | be done after running his .reg, but obviously not steps (a)
| | | | through (h). Looks like the one
| | | | from...http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#TZU ...does it's own (g)
| | | | through (j), though. Terhune had an objection to that one,
| | | | though, for another reason.
| | | |
| | | | Where are these conversations? I cannot find them when I
| | | | search
| | | | the news groups.
| | | |
| | | | I did find one where you pointed out that (g) though (j)
| | | | should
| | | | be run, but no reply from Terhune.
| | |
| | | He may be dangling over the edge of a California earthquake &
| | | held up only by by a toe in a Poodle's mouth. However, he DID
| | | shout...
| | |
| | ...
| | | ......Quote...........
| | | Thank you. Forgot to add that info to the instructions.
| | | ......EOQ..............
| | | ...., when John John brought up the issue.
| | |
| | | | I tested the grystmill patch without running steps (g)
| | | | through (j) and it worked. Tested on 98SE by moving the
| | | | time forward
| | | | and letting it pass through 2 AM on March 11, 2007.
| | |
| | | But did you run the mdgx.com patch too? That one WILL
| | | auto-update the other Registry key from what I can determine
| | | reading the site...
| | |
| | | No, I did not run the mdgx patch.
| |
| | That's interesting! I see Terhune has stated he will test the
| | issue. Can you post the contents of your two keys. Here are mine
| | for "Eastern"...

| | Too bad I didn't think to check the second one BEFORE doing the
| | Date/Time Properties switch forth/back!
| |
| | Do you see how these correspond to each other? It's possible the
| | second has an important use other than allowing the time change to
| | occur on the appropriate date. I wonder too whether something else
| | could have done the time change for you when you pushed ahead--
| | something like NistTime, for instance? Were you online when you
| | did it?
| |
| | I will be happy to check them, but how do I do it? I have never
| | used regedit or anything like
| | that (or I don't recall ever doing it) I am not exactly a Windows
| | guru.
|
| I see you also have posted that on an ME machine you did have to do
| the extra step. It may depend upon how you advance the date as to
| whether you need to do it. As you may have noticed, John John
| brilliantly noticed the same Time/Date Properties requestor (in
| Win98 at least) is used to advance the date & to select a time zone.
| Although it is true you did not report you used that requestor to
| it, nor that you switched from & back to your own zone-- IF you did
| use it, likely changing the date & time caused the new info to be
| saved too.
|
| It could also be that the old setting in that Registry key was passed
| too when you advanced the date, even if done in DOS-- and I guess
| that still would cause the switch to EST.
|
| But my other thought of NisTime or such doing it probably is very
| wrong! It would instead get you back to the correct time & date-- or
| just explode from the effort!
|
| Be careful in the Registry. Don't make any changes. But, to look at
| those keys...
|
| "START button, Run, RegEdit", & navigate to...
|
|
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\TimeZoneInformation
|
| That is,
| (a) Click plus signs, beginning left of "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE",
| & ending left of "Control".
|
| (b) Click "TimeZoneInformation" in the left pane.
| It should now show its data in the right pane.
|
| (c) "Registry Menu, Export Registry File"
| The key (& any subkeys) will write to a file of your choice--
| with a ".reg" extension.
|
| (d) Scroll the left pane back up, & do the same for...
|
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Time
| Zones\Eastern
|
| NOTE: The last plus sign you click is left of "Time Zones".
| Then, click your own zone under it, which I think may
| be...
| "Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana"
|
| Here is more to know about a ".reg" file...
|
| By default, when a ".reg" is clicked, it will Merge into the
| Registry. To alter the default behavior...
|
| (a) "START button, Settings, Folder Options, File Types tab".
| (b) Scroll to & click (highlight) "Registration Entries".
| (c) Click the "Edit" button.
| (d) Select (highlight) "Edit" in the window.
| (e) Click the "Set Default" button.
|
| After that, when you click a ".reg" file, it will open in Notepad for
| examination. To merge it into the Registry, R-Clk it & select
| "Merge".
|
| I check the registry on one of the systems that I had patched and not
| tested by setting the time forward. Indeed, TimeZoneInformation was
| the old way. Then I set the time and applied it. Indeed
| TimeZoneInformation was ready for 2007. I had fallen prey to a
| version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. I am now a believer
| in the extra steps.

OK. Very good, then. Too bad TZEdit just by itself wouldn't do that, but
its own instructions insist it must be done. It is also stated in...

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914387
How to configure daylight saving time for the United States in 2007

....that it must be done. And Terhune agreed from the outset with John
John that it must be done.

Very well. Was that USB 2.0 Card a separate purchase? It isn't just a

Drive Enclosure that would convert my Win98SE USB 1 to that? That's my
absolute last question!

Yes - I got it some time back.

Well, you can also use USB 1.1 with the Vantec enclosure, by the way, but if
you want USB 2.0 speeds, I believe you may need a USB 2.0 card. Let's
see...

In the manual it says, "for USB 2.0 speeds, the system must support USB 2.0
specifications" - whatever that tells you. I was under the impression that
if you wanted USB 2.0 for anything on a Win98SE system you needed a USB 2.0
card.

I probably need the WinZip one, anyway. I'm used to using it for personal
stuff, just never had a need to post stuff publicly until now.

But with all the relatively recent "forced" protection against scripts and
the like, using something like this is almost required.

Thing is, if I can beat what ails me lately, I plan to do a lot more of this
stuff for business reasons (not internet posting, but for business
consulting.) Creating custom scripts, etc.

Heard that, having installables make some of the things required MUCH
easier. WinZip should suit your some of your purposes [hopefully], and a
heck of a lot eaiser than some other installers. Much beyond the simple
stuff though and your in a whole other world. Plus your what, dealing with
mostly XP now aren't you? Or are we still L.O.L.ing.

Course ya know we're all rootin for ya.. beat the crap out of what ever it
is...

XP and 2K3 servers (couple of small SBS systems). I'll tackle Vista when I'm
a LOT healthier! But I'll always be here/there for 9x-ers.

Thinking of starting a Windows Users' Group, and maybe assisting a couple of
different work prep programs for public agencies, including one mental
health rehab (out patient) system they're contemplating.

Then again, I might find it more lucrative to get back into the therapeutic
massage business. It's a lot less mentally challenging and I'm damned good
at it. Just have to keep my center centered, IYKWIM.

there.

So

and

|
| Two of them, hmmm. So, now you do wish it were easier to get an
| HDD in/out the first?
|
| Not really all that necessary in my case. Why would I?
| They are only backup drives.
|
| No, I'm just saying, one should be enough, if the HDDs are
| removable & meant only for backup.
|
| I'm getting another one for backing up my OTHER internal HD. I
| have TWO internal HDs, which logically need TWO external drives
| for backup. OK, now I think we're done. :-)
|
| I still don't get it. Are you going to back them up simultaneously
| or one at a time?
|
| One at a time, and usually at completely different times of the
| month. There is no relation between the two (as to when I do them).
| Only one is the boot (and program) drive, however, and so I back
| that one up a LOT more often.
|
| When the second USB external HD enclosure comes in, I'll put it on
| the desk right next to the other one, and plug one or the other in
| (via the USB 2.0 connector) when I want to make the backups.
| Actually, I could leave them both connected (but turned off) since I
| have a two port USB 2.0 card, but I'd rather have one of the USB
| connectors free and disconnected for other things).
|
| Very, very, very easy to do.
|
| Very well. Was that USB 2.0 Card a separate purchase?
|
| Yes - I got it some time back.

Ohhhhh!

| It isn't just a
| matter of the drivers that came with the Vantec USB 2.0 External Hard

| Drive Enclosure that would convert my Win98SE USB 1 to that? That's
| my absolute last question!
|
| Well, you can also use USB 1.1 with the Vantec enclosure, by the way,
| but if you want USB 2.0 speeds, I believe you may need a USB 2.0
| card. Let's see...
|
| In the manual it says, "for USB 2.0 speeds, the system must support
| USB 2.0 specifications" - whatever that tells you. I was under the
| impression that if you wanted USB 2.0 for anything on a Win98SE
| system you needed a USB 2.0 card.

Oh. So, still it would be good for me, then-- if your interpretation of
that (which matches mine) is correct. But we must end our OT discussion
in Terhune's thread before we ruin it! OK, I know enough for now. That
Vantec sounds like a reasonable alternative & is very pretty all in
blue. OK, thanks. OK, bye.

| (Hey, I'm hard of hearing!)

I see you've already trimmed it. And I think this thread segment anyhow
is concluded. Everyone in world now agrees it must be done! OK, then.
And I've concluded two other thread segments with Colorado that may also
be somewhere in this thread. OK, then. OK, bye.

Thanks or Good Luck,

Naturally, you will not sue,
