Picture of Ozzy and Storm

Here is a picture of my friends dog Ozzy and my dog storm. They were chasing each other around the yard yesterday.

They look very tired and popped out so that is good. They play hard and non stop it seems when they get to play with each other.

Clap on Clap Off Computer

Here are couple of videos that I took today at work. I thought this was interesting what the computer was doing. If you hit the case or the desk or even the CPU fan the computer would shutdown.

Dell Precision T7500 Installing Windows XP

So you want to install Microsoft Windows XP onto a Dell Precision T7500 but you are having a hard time in doing so. I spent a long time trying to figure this out. I went through over 10 windows CD with different drivers but non of them worked. There was one combination that worked and it was installing the Intel ICH1OR SATA AHCI Controller Driver and the Dell SAS 6/IR integrated workstation controller driver. I used nlite to slip stream the drivers into the Windows XP CD.

The computer came with Microsoft Windows 7 Pro on it so I wrote all of the names of the drivers that it used in the device manager because I wouldn’t have known what the name of the Sata controller or the SAS controller was. Always write down all of the information before wiping it out. I also had another issue where I couldn’t find a driver for the dell pseudo scsi bridge device but when I was installing Microsoft Windows updates it had a driver for it so I lucked on that one.

These machines are going to be PACS workstations for the radiology department and they will have two wide screen monitors and then will also have two diagnostic monitors. This was just one hurdle to get through but there will probably more to follow.

I was then trying to do a bart pe cd for the drivers but it wasn’t working saying no driver found. With this I found the following information

“I found that the Broadcom NeXtreme onboard NIC would work on the Dell systems with BartPE after I changed the name of the .inf file from b57win32.inf to b57xp32.inf to match the named of the .sys file. Both the .inf and .cat files are named b57win32, even in Bart’s example of adding drivers. I downloaded both from Dell and Broadcom and the files all had the same name. I also found out that changing the .sys file to b57win32 will not work. (http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=14263)”

This worked for me and I was able to proceed with bart PE on this computer.

Storm Playing With A Bumper

I bought my dog a bumper. A bumper is a training toy for bird dogs but I don’t hunt with my dog so I like to use it for fetching with him. He really liked it and I thought this was funny.

The bumper has canvas material instead of the plastic that I bought him before. He was able to chew and destroy it in minutes, so hopefully this will be better and harder for him to chew it.
