Also I wonder if Windows XP Pro x64 can simply burn stuff to DVD's... maybe
that will work...
I think windows media player might be able to do it... it seems to have some
burning capabilities or maybe that was a special program on somebody's
computer system  :)
For now I am gonna try WinDVD Creator 2... installed... bitched a bit about
64 bit... but seemed to install...
Needs a reboot... rebooting now...

Well that was pretty confusing... Apperently WinDVD Creator 2 is part of a
WinDVD suite...
which is again called Intervideo launcher/whatever...
It's a "suite of 4 programs"
PhotoAlumb 1.0
DvdCopy 2.5
WinDVD Creator 2
Disc Master 2.5
The auto launcher didn't pop because I have it disabled... it says WinDVD
suite so I thought WinDVDCreator2 must be it... I thought wrong...
This time after reboot I decided to install the launcher as well and the
other 3 programs as well.. it looks handy...
I think Disc Master 2.5 is actually the thing I needed.
Again it requires a reboot...
Something interesting happened though... I think it fucked with my logon and
logoff scripts...
Those settings are probably gone... which means my file disk images weren't
be mounted properly...
So apperently these setup programs use logon scripts ?!? Me not sure yet...
not much of problem... just extra work for me... but could be problem if I
die and somebody else uses my computer they won't know how to fix it !
Unless I switch back to using batchfiles for startup folder.. but then log
off won't work... when user switching... so windows has lot's and lot's of
issues ! but then... windows can also do much much much... probably much
more then ubuntu or any other operating system out there ?! But I might
wrong... but I don't think so... point of the story... so many
possitibilities... so many combinations... sooner or later it's gonna
trigger all kinds of untested unknown or ill known problems ! ;)
Rrrrrebooting.. the dreaded reboot.

Skybuck. |

BY THE WAY this software came with my asus motherboard... it says it only
works with asus motherboards !
I feel like I own something special !!! Big fucking whoopie ! :)
Ok time to give it a try ! :)
This could rule out if it's a nero issue or not...
This gonna be interesting... I wonder what it's gui will be like...

Oh by the way.. the logon and logoff script is working again... maybe the
first time it just took a bit of time or something... or maybe it restored
it... I don't know...
Ok time to test "Intervideo WinDVD Suite, Disc Master 2.5 that only works on
Asus motherboards" !
That's a whole mouth of come for you ! :)

Ok,
Disc Master 2.5 just finished burning a DVD... and again a bit error in one
WinRar file... this was during less ideal circumstances...-> internet was
on...
Not bad... it seems Disc Master 2.5 might perform slightly better but it
could also be a fluke of luck.
End result is:
Still a corrupted file which is still bad. (Disc master did not do any
verifications so had to do it myself with WinRar.)
That's already 6 bad discs out of 7 ?!
I am really starting to wonder if it's maybe a WinRar bug... I don't think
so... some day I will write a special program which will do bit by bit
comparision... but for now I trust my hd... I trust winrar...
I shall do one last time... and simply do a copy... from hd to hd to see if
that gives any problems.
One last note: With winrar it is possible to keep "damaged/broken files"...
for applications/games this might be acceptable if the bit errors are in
images or whatever... but for me... for my information and especially for my
source code this is pretty much unacceptable... I want a perfect copy of my
source code and not having to worry about any possibly bugs because of bit
errors... In other words this is pissing me off a little bit... just a tiny
little bit... yes this is what I am like when I am litttttle bit pissy 
Little things not working pisses me off too. Little things can have big
consequences !  * :)
OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK ?!>!>!>!>!>!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
My HD to HD transfer failed as well ?!? It says CRC32 corruption error ?!?
OH OH...
This could mean a couple of things:
1. Windows XP user account corruption causes file/file system corruption ?!?
2. PC RAM is bad ?!?
3. Harddisk is getting bad ?!? OHOH.
4. File system is corrupt again ?!?
5. Windows has big bugs ?!? Maybe windows update fucked it ?!?
6. Path through computer is fucked ?!?
7. Motherboard is fucked ?!?
8. WinRar is fucked ?!?
9. Explorer is fucked ?!?
OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH BIG OHOHOHOHOHOOOOOO.
I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS BULLSHIT THAT MAKES IT AN EXTRA BIG
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO :)
WTF I AM GETTING CONFUSED I SIMPLY CANT BELIEVE THIS SHIT
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH I JUST HAD A TERRIBLY THOUGHT:
Maybe "cleaning the dust filters of the antec 1200 case while the harddrives
were spinning IS A BAD THING TO DO ?!?!?!? Maybe it caused damage ?!?!? OH
SHIT."
I AM SO FUCKED RIGHT NOW I CANT BELIEVE IT.
I am gonna do one last copy hd-to-same-hd test... WTF ?!
Hmmm this time it did pass the WinRar test...
I did notice the unpacked file size is exactly 2^31... so it could be a
integer/bug winrar thingy...
Maybe it depends on testing order or so... gonna test other files to see
what happens gjez...
OH MY FUCKING GOD. WTFFFFFFFFF?! MY SECOND WORST NIGHTMARE !
IT SAYS FILE IS FUCKING CORRUPT ?! WTF ?! IT'S 5.5 GB EXTRACTED ?! OH MY
FUCKING GOD.
WTF IS GOING ON... I HOPE THIS IS A WINRAR BUG OTHERWISE I AM SERIOUSLY
FUCKED ! LOL.
NO PLS DONT TELL ME MY HD IS FUCKED ?!
THIS BETTER NOT BE A FUCKING WINDOWS BUG OTHERWISE I AM SWITCHING TO UBUNTU
OR SOMETHING FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I NEED A PLAN TO SAVE MY COMPUTER FROM OTHER DESTRUCTION.
BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OH MY GOD I AM FUCKED FOR NOW.
Maybe it just a windows copy bug... I have seen this mentioned before in
FUCKING VISTA.
FUCK.
Maybe I should try a Knoppix cd or something or linux cd and try to mount
ntfs and do a copy... but that kinda dangerous.
I AM SO FUCKED.
But for now maybe hoping on WinRar bug is good... but I don't think it's a
winrar bug but it could be...
First thing I need to do is write a bit by bit decent comparision program...
but I fear the worst !
SHIT. WTF ?! Could this be related to corrupted user account WTF ?!
Did Microsoft FUCK MY OPERATING SYSTEM TO FORCE SWITCH TO VISTA OR WINDOWS 7
?!
WHO KNOWS.
This will have to be confirmed by others.
So I go post a message now... later... I need to keep and stay cool :)

I need some sort of compression tool, which does do compression... but which

So that it can at least recover from single bit errors ?!? (Maybe even
multiple bit errors ?!?)
Just detecting bit errors like WinRar does is not really enough... since bit
errors seems to happen more often than not.
Does such a "compression/redundancy tool" already exist ?!?

HOLYSHIT.
I just wrote a brand new file comparision tool... to be 100% sure that the
code is good.
And the corruption IS REAL !
OH OH.
No idea yet what is causing it... but it's real !

I did one last check:
1. I reboot the PC to make sure it's not some corruption in the file system
cache.
2. Re-run the compare files tool, same position pops up: 316.802.701
Unless other people have the same offset/position as damaged then it's
probably just a problem with one of my hd-disks...
Big shit though... this means I will have to stop using my "Dream PC" which
can now be rightfully called "Nightmare PC" until I get new harddisks...
this also means the Antec 1200 case could be risky... especially when
cleaning dustfilters while hd's are on... this could also mean placing tower
on table is bad because of bumps against table or so... which might kill
hd's ?! BIG SHIT... can't place PC on ground because of dust.
Only solution is to make a remote computer... in a far away location from
me... so it wouldn't be affected by dust... or bangs... then I would need
super long monitor cable... to be able to work with the damn thing...
This could be a bit dangerous such a long monitor cable... alternatively...
I could place pc on a seperate table which could take care of most bangs
probably... it would still be a bit risky... and bang sensitive if I bang
against other table...
It could also be a matter of high usage... maybe Microsofts ! flight
simulator x had a little bit to do with it.. it has a huge load of files and
places extra stress on the file system which is bad. I recently deleted it
to get rid of it and its load on file system... to late now... this kinda
sucks...
I am also surprised the harddisk doesn't mark it as a bad sector... maybe
it's already way passed being able to divert to unused space... this could
be a bad sign...
Maybe it's not the hd that's bad... maybe it's just windows corrupted user
account but I doubt it somehow...
Smart thing to do would be to get new hd's copy the whole motherfucker... do
a file by file... byte by byte comparision to know if everything was copied
properly... this gonna take a bitching long time but ok...
As long as I don't delete and put anything new on the disk it should be ok.
I hope...
So far it seems C: drive is fucked... maybe D: drive still ok.
I guessed I made that data backup just in time ! I was about due... and the
user account corruption was also a bad sign... so I thought I better make
that backup just in case... and not a moment to late it seems !
Anyway this does prove that windows is good at detecting corruption even if
it's in weird ways... as long as the user "listens" to the system and pays
attention and is sensitive and googles around this will become apperent...
Windows update was failing which was the first sign of trouble. Somebody
mention user account corruption which was the second sign of trouble ?!? or
maybe primary cause... me not sure yet...
Ram trouble can probably be ruled out... since after fresh reboot... same
location would be unlikely...
Winrar bug can be ruled out... definetly not winrar bug.
Scary !
Now I run the risk of losing my whole system which took years to build and
gather ?! Shitty ?!
I don't want that to happen even if Windows is sometimes a piece of shit
It mostly works ok. Just sometimes explorer.exe hangs... and shit like
that... 99% statisfcation... 1% annoyances... SHIT.
So much trouble with this pc it's fricking unbelievable... but then again
this is the first PC which I spent day and night behind it... so sooner or
later something gonna pop up... To bad it has to happen/end like this lol.
To all "good ?" things come an end I guess... I had 3 years of fun with
it...
1. with at least two bad motherboard deaths...
2. one graphics card had to be removed/overheat...
3. gigaworks s750 death.
4. memory ram chip death.
5. pc case replacement was needed
6. cpu fan replacement was needed. original was too loudy..
7. paste shit needed/
8. new mouse needed.
Even motherboard started to wear and tear... at least three letters gone
lol.
Shit you may call me a heavy user... the mother/dad of all son of bitches :)
Sucks being me... LOL but only during these situations... otherwise it s
rocking the cradle.
I wonder what is next to die ?
My monitor ? pls not my monitor... if my 1000 euro bux monitor dies I am
going to jump of the building but not really ofcourse... everything dies
sometime... but it's painfull expensive to die ! ;)
Big fucking shit. Now I have to go back to my pentoum 3... me very glad I
still have it...
It has saved me three times before and now it will save me again... Holyshit
!
Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit I hate being on that thing it's so damn
slow... FUCK.
I can forget about youtube video's for a while... especially the hd's one :(
Oh well.
Skybuck signing off and facing another death scenerio for now.
YES TOTAL INSTALLATION/FILE SYSTEM DEATH STARING ME IN THE FACE RIGHT NOW.
WITH NO SYSTEM BACKUP AVAILABLE !!! OHOHOH
IT'S TO BIG TO BACKUP ON DVD'S WHICH ARE CRAP ANYWAY.
I am out of my mind typing this long message... but maybe it not so bad...
it will be my last one from this PC for a while !  ((((

Firstly, if a given brand is consistently unreliable, make absolutely
sure that you do not use any other brands - that way the result will
perfectly match you in that regard.
Secondly, you forgot to look in the bit bucket. |

Same here, 100%, but I use Verbatim only.
I even get a 100% on printing the layouts on the printables,
before and after burning those.
In Linux, using gimp to make the layouts.
Because in the past printing sometimes failed,
I now print them first and then burn them.
Making nice layouts, so your disks look good, makes all the difference. |

Tedious when you have pictures, graphics, and 2 groups of 20 lines of text.
It is even an art to find suitable fonts to get all on a DVD sometimes.
Then there is the color spectrum, 4 colors for your pens perhaps,
while in gimp I can just make my own.
There are special pens to write on CDs and DVDs, the ink is not supposed to
damage the disk.
Used those in the old days.
Interesting is, that on the printable Verbatim, you can just draw with pencil,
write on it, just do not press too hard, you will like that. |

Yeah, do *not* bang or pound on the computer when the disks are
spinning, and don't tilt the chassis to another angle either. All of
these can be hard on a spinning hard drive.
Just turn off the computer before performing preventive maintenance,
OK?
Oh... and there's one thing you should really *NOT* do. You should
not use a world-wide netnews distribution system as if it was your own
personal blog. If you want to blog (or just free-associate about
your latest incident of toothbrushing and broken shoelaces), use a
real blogging service, or Twitter, or something like that, OK?
A guy I worked with some years ago had a sign posted on his office
door: "Logorrhoea exclusion area. Violators will be subject to

out ! :)

I thought about this a little bit and I thought it was plausible... a
single bit error in memory could have caused the file to get
corrupted... then once written to disk it would ofcourse stay
corrupted... fooling me into believing the harddisk might be
corrupt <- worst case scenerio.
The idea of having just memory corruption is less bad than hd
corruption so I decided to test this theory... especially since I was
fooled last time believing the power supply might be bad or so... also
this could save me from going through a whole lot of trouble... though
making a backup of my system drive don't sound so bad to me
either ! Maybe I am still gonna do that just in case !
This one was scary :)

Fortunately I happen to have this handy disk in my toolset ! :)
So I popped it into my computer... first my computer didn't wanna boot
from the floppy which was kinda odd... I activated the boot menu but
the boot menu fucked up and it went into windows... I was like shit I
don't want this but ok...I was also nervous that maybe the floppy
drive was wrongly connected or didn't work or something so I tested it
with a msdos disk and windows could read it so the floppy drive was
fine...
So after telling windows to restart the floppy disk finally booted...
and memtest began to load... I was like jipppee !
Only a few seconds after running memtest it already reported a bit
error in memory !
Currently it says:
Memtest86+ v1.65
Athlon 64 X2 2006 Mhz
L1 Cache: 128K 16443MB/s
L2 Cache: 512K 3918MB/s

Bits Count
1 0 0003712b68c - 881.6 MB 3712b68c 3712b48c 00000200 159
So it seems there is bad memory in the system... seems like 2 bits
bad ? So just two bad bits can cause a hell lot of a mess ! ) :)
Now the big question for me is:
1. Why did one of the memory chips go bad ? Is it still a reminensence
of my "plastic experiment" where plastic tape fell on it... <- it's
possible.
2. Or did the memory chip die from heat from the heatpipes from the
big cpu cooler ?!? <- Plausible. This could mean trouble for the
future as well.
or
3. Did the memory chip just die because of general system heat... ?!?
or
4. Is it bad quality from Corsair ? I don't think so but ok.
Fortunately Corsair was nice and smart enough to sent me two new
memory chips when another one was bad not so long ago. That's why I
still have 4 GB of ram I guess... and I guess I also have a spare
memory chip somewhere not sure ?!? ;)
Maybe I could even sent this one back and still get warranty
lol ?!? I don't know maybe I still have warranty on it I don't
know...
Usually I only use 2 GB of rams... so I have at least 3 spare memory
chips if I am not mistaken.
Not the only problem is in figuring out which memory chip went bad...
I think I can manage that ! ;)
After I get rid of the bad memory chip I can do a copy test again...
and see if it works out this test...
Me would be pretty glad if only this is the problem :)
So big thanks to you Dave Platt ! :
I owe you one ! =D

can now be rightfully called "Nightmare PC" until I get new harddisks...
this also means the Antec 1200 case could be risky... especially when
cleaning dustfilters while hd's are on... this could also mean placing tower
on table is bad because of bumps against table or so... which might kill
hd's ?! BIG SHIT... can't place PC on ground because of dust.
Yeah, do *not* bang or pound on the computer when the disks are
spinning, and don't tilt the chassis to another angle either. All of
these can be hard on a spinning hard drive.

Yeah but then again... some of these drives end op in jet
fighters ! ;)

Just turn off the computer before performing preventive maintenance,
OK?
[/quote]
Yeah from now on I will do this just in case... this was some scary
shit...
Hmm interesting it just found another error !
Tst Pass Failing Address Good Bad Err-Bits Count
5 0 0003712b688 - 881.6MB ffffff7f fffffd7f 00000200 1
And another one just popped up ! :)
Tst Pass Failing Address Good Bad Err-Bits Count
6 0 0003712b68c - 881.6MB fffffff7 fffffdf7 00000200 16
Most interesting so it seems the program is doing multiple different
memory tests and is coming across the same bits as being bad
again ! ;)
Good program memtest86 ! ;)
[quote]Oh... and there's one thing you should really *NOT* do. You should
not use a world-wide netnews distribution system as if it was your own
personal blog. If you want to blog (or just free-associate about
your latest incident of toothbrushing and broken shoelaces), use a
real blogging service, or Twitter, or something like that, OK?

But you helped me out and that's what it's all about ! =D

A guy I worked with some years ago had a sign posted on his office
door: "Logorrhoea exclusion area. Violators will be subject to
pleonasty."

What does that mean ? :)
Ok thanks Pal... it's time for me to go and be happy and figure out
what memory chip it is...
It would be interesting if it was the chip closest to the heat pipe...
Before I touch inside of my PC I make picture of it first...
Gonna document everything to make sure I figure it out ! ;)
Bye,
Skybuck. |
