Playing devil's advocate I wonder what people thought during the industrial revolution when mining was destroying the landacape , railways popped up everywhere and steam engines roared through england. Without all that what would Birmingham look like? As for property getting knocked down out in...

I say take that 30billion and build us youngsters new affordable housing so we don't have to keep renting at stupid prices because we are forced out of the housing market due to insane deposit requirements.

It's in testing at the moment, it's been moved to the corner now

+1 gimp you can also use windows inbuilt screenshot tool snipping tool, it's also very good and quick!

couldn't do a hot swap so I had to shut it all down and move it. This has now been completed and the Hyper V and Site are now on the solid state drive, boot up to Hyper V went from 10 minutes to <1 minute.

disk has now arrived, I will "attempt" to hot install it to minimise the downtime (it's possible to move a hyper V while active) this will be done this evening.

My laptop has a 128gb msata 2.0 solid state and 1tb normal HDD The msata works a bit like memory it's clipped into the main board.

A lot now have, as prices plummet more and more are ditching them they are far superior

As you may have noticed, the site is somewhat up and down at the moment, I "had" traced it to Hard drive issues which is why i moved it to a Virtual Server so the whole site is encased in one file that could be easily moved to a new Drive. I did do this however the drive it now sits on is...

Yeah I was stress testing the drive, it only needs 30 seconds but it got half an hour.

Done :) it was supposed to be running for 30 seconds but I heard the magic words food and all other thoughts left my mind

Yes I left something running while my dinner was ready gimme 2 min

tracked down what was causing the outages it was the HYPER V backup, it was "supposed" to be a hot backup (doesnt take the site down) but it wasn't and as i back up twice a day now this was causing a system loop. Ive now replaced it with a new backup manager that explicitly uses hot backup...

seems write caching was off on the server, i have just switched it on and this seems to have fixed the OS drive.

server 2012 R2 is what the server runs :)

I have now disabled all windows automatic updates.

about to reboot again as windows updates (for the virtual server is kicking in) there must have been a massive update over night to both servers.

the server refused to restart (trying to find out why) I had to do a cold restart and wait until the services restarted i think the main OS drive may be failing.

*sigh* having just logged back in it's still on *restarting* so expect things to go down for a few minutes...

I just had to reboot the forum due to a windows update, I need to turn them from AUTO to manual to stop them installing when they feel like it.
