X31 "access IBM" button question
I just bought an X31 off ebay am having a few config issues. It didn't come with a disk. So, I put a clean copy of XP on a 2.5 drive and installed it and got a Blue Screen error: "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer .... ***Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF8973640,0xC0000034,0x0000000,0x0000000) " I put the bios into debug mode and subsequent reboots it does the memory, device checkout and then goes to the boot which gives the above message. It says at the bottom, to interrupt normal startup, press the blue Access IBM button. However, when I press the button, it does not bring me back to the BIOS setup screen. No matter what I have tried (FN key with f1, f2, f3 etc), I have not been able to get back. At this point, I have 3 questions : 1. How do I get back to BIO setup? 2. Does the X31 expect something other than what Windows places in the MBR (to get past the blue screen message) 3. Is there any web references on the X31 I appreciate any help, thanks Lou

Did you install XP on the drive when the drive was installed in the laptop, or did you install XP with the drive mounted on another computer and switch the drive to the laptop? Did you format the drive on the laptop or elsewhere? Q Q

Well, that's why it's not working, those two laptops have very different IDE controllers, which is all that XP cares about. If you do a repair install it should re-detect all the hardware and work.

voodle1Thanks, I'll give it a try. I have a x20 ultrabase but not one for the X31. I'll have to figure out a way to have it access a CD. Another question. How do I get access to the BIOS again. Once I switched it to debug, I it doesn't seem to recognize the "Access IBM" button? Thanks Lou J.

Lou Lipnickey wrote: > I installed XP on my X20 then moved the drive to the X31, (sounds like > it might make a difference) - Lou The X20 uses the old 440BX chipset. The X31 uses the 845 if I recall correctly. With the 800 series Intel changed the disk controller interface significantly. The "generic" IDE drivers work fine with both, but optimized drivers for the 440BX break on the 800 series. I don't recall now whether XP installs optimized drivers for the 440BX or not--if it does or if you installed Intel Application Accelerator then that's your problem. > Quaoar wrote: > >> Lou Lipnickey wrote: >> >>>I just bought an X31 off ebay am having a few config issues.

Do a google search on moving hard drive XP It will direct you to a Microsoft web site which gives the instructions and files to move a drive On Mon, 13 Dec 2004 16:17:59 GMT, Lou Lipnickey <lou.lipnickey@pobox.com> wrote: >I installed XP on my X20 then moved the drive to the X31, (sounds like >it might make a difference) - Lou > >Quaoar wrote: > >> Lou Lipnickey wrote: >> >>>I just bought an X31 off ebay am having a few config issues.

scosgtThanks - I have a LaCie external drive but its not clear whether its bootable. I tried last night but I couldn't boot from it. The ultrabase is nice (I have one for the X20) but I can't say I use it a lot (I have the dock which is great and supposedly compatible with the X31). Do you have any way to determine if the CD is bootable? Thanks Lou J. Clarke wrote: > Lou Lipnickey wrote: > > >>Thanks, I'll give it a try. I have a x20 ultrabase but not one for the >>X31.

If you mean the drive, that's a function of the computer BIOS--if it supports boot from a USB device then there should be no problem, if not then there's not much you can do about it. > Lou > > > J.

Do you have any way to determine if the CD is bootable? Thanks Try to get an actual X31 IBM recovery CD since there is various Thinkpad-specific stuff in the preinstall. If your X31 is still under warranty you should be able to buy a recovery CD from IBM for something like $45. They sometimes show up on ebay, e.g.: http://tinyurl.com/62hlg The X31 should be able to boot from a USB CD drive. I don't know about the X20.
phr.cxThanks for all your comments. My current problem is that I have 2-3 year old LaCie 24x 10x 40x U+I (USB and IEEE1394) and the X31 doesn't seem to recognize it. I have USB enabled and I choose the CD boot option. I am now presuming the drive isn't bootable. My X20 has similar BIOS options and it doesn't recognize it either. Lou J.

One other thing for the record.

Hi i found the following explaination: In Ada, "in" parameters are similar to C++ const parameters. They are effectively read-only within the scope of the called subprogram. Ada "in out" parameters have a reliable initial value (that passed in from the calling subprogram) and may be modified within the scope of the called procedure. Ada "out" parameters have no reliable initial value, but are expected to be assigned a value within the called procedure. What does "have no reliable initial value" mean when considering the "out" parameter? By c...

newbie question: "is" vs "as"
What's the difference between "is" and "as" when used at the end of the create statement? i.e. create or replace procedure seanProc1 is begin dbms_output.put_line('hello world'); end; / vs. create or replace procedure seanProc1 as begin dbms_output.put_line('hello world'); end; / sean nakasone wrote: > What's the difference between "is" and "as" when used at the end of the > create statement? The first letter; that is, you can use which ever you like. I guess the difference come from how you read the sentence. If you read is as a command, "as" seams better, but if you read is as an definition of the procedure, "is" seams better. -- Arto Viitanen, CSC Ltd.

These are aliases for the same thing, created as a courtesy to those who want to 'read' the header as a sentance.

Questions on "import" and "datetime"
Hi all, I have some questions on "import": 1."from datetime import datetime" works well. But I am confused why "import= datetime.datetime" leads to importerror. "from xlrd import open_workbook" = could be replaced by "from xlrd.open_workbook" without any problem. The onl= y difference here is that if "from xlrd import open_workbook" is used we do= not have to write "xlrd.open_workbook" in the following code but just "ope= n_workbook". So my understanding of the difference is "from...import..." sh= ortens the code (just like "using namespace std" in C++) but maybe leads to= name clash. But what is the problem of datetime?=20 2.I am also comfused that "datetime.datetime" is a function but whithin "da= tetime.datetime" there are lots of other functions.

"In" "Out" and "Trash"
I just bought a new computer and I re-installed Eudora Light on my new computer. But when I open Eudora, the "In", "Out" and "Trash" links are not on the left side of the screen the way they were on my old computer. How can I get these links back on the left side of the screen?

Does it need a ";" at the very after of "if" and "for"
write code like: int main(void) { int a=10; if(a<20) {} } Compiler ok on dev-cpp . don't we have to add a ";" after if statement? marsarden said: > write code like: > > int main(void) > { > int a=10; > if(a<20) > {} > } > > Compiler ok on dev-cpp . don't we have to add a ";" after if > statement? The syntax for 'if' is: if(expression) statement There is no semicolon after the ) but before the statement. The statement is either a normal statement (which can be empty), ending in a semicolon:- if(expr) ...
Two Questions about "strlen", "strcat" and "strcpy"
I have 2 questions: 1. strlen returns an unsigned (size_t) quantity. Why is an unsigned value more approprate than a signed value? Why is unsighned value less appropriate? 2. Would there be any advantage in having strcat and strcpy return a pointer to the "end" of the destination string rather than returning a pointer to its beginning?

Question about "int" and "quad"
Hi all, I am learning to use int and quad to integrate a integrand including log-normal pdf. The results of these two method are different. I suspect there is something wrong with my command on using "int" Would you please let me know where the mistake is? Thank you!! The codes: 1) for "quad" method, phi = @(x) lognpdf(x,1,sigma); wphi = @(x) x.*phi(x); gw2 = @(y) quad(wphi,0,y); The answer for gw2(2) = 0.126563644131823; 2) for "int" method fw1 = @(x) x.*lognpdf(x,1,sigma); gw2 = eval(int('fw1', 0, 2)); The answer...
Question about "define" and "malloc"
CSS white here: Simply strange, I found "define" can not work with "malloc". Together my complier will say "parse error". Could anyone tell me why? ------------------------- #define MAX 10000 ....... int main(void){ ..... char * temp=(char *)malloc(MAX*sizeof(char)); ..... system("pause"); return 0; } when complying, wrong. look for explanation.

Don't put "...." in small programs. This mildly edited version of your code compiles for me #include <stdlib.h> #define MAX 10000 int main(void) { char *temp = (char*)malloc (MAX * sizeof(char)); // system("pause"); return 0; } > ------------------------- > #define MAX 10000 > ...... > int main(void){ > .... > char * temp=(char *)malloc(MAX*sizeof(char)); don't cast malloc. sizeof of char is 1 by definition so write the above char * temp = malloc (MAX); I also fooled with your layout as I prefer more whitespace than you use. > .... > system("pause"); non-standard > return 0; > } > > when complying, wrong. > look for explanation.

newbie question: "is" vs "as"
What's the difference between "is" and "as" when used at the end of the create statement? i.e. create or replace procedure seanProc1 is begin dbms_output.put_line('hello world'); end; / vs. create or replace procedure seanProc1 as begin dbms_output.put_line('hello world'); end; / sean nakasone wrote: > What's the difference between "is" and "as" when used at the end of the > create statement? The first letter; that is, you can use which ever you like. I guess the difference come from how you read the sentence. If you read is as a command, "as" seams better, but if you read is as an definition of the procedure, "is" seams better. -- Arto Viitanen, CSC Ltd.

These are aliases for the same thing, created as a courtesy to those who want to 'read' the header as a sentance. For example, try CREATE PROCEDURE abc AS (vs) CREATE PROCEDURE abc IS PROCEDURE abc IS (vs) PROCEDURE abc AS Since they are aliases, you are free to use either as you feel comfortable. -- Hans Forbrich (mailto: Fuzzy.GreyBeard_at_gmail.com) *** Feel free to correct me when I'm wrong! *** Top posting [r...
Questions on "import" and "datetime"
Hi all, I have some questions on "import": 1."from datetime import datetime" works well. But I am confused why "import= datetime.datetime" leads to importerror. "from xlrd import open_workbook" = could be replaced by "from xlrd.open_workbook" without any problem. The onl= y difference here is that if "from xlrd import open_workbook" is used we do= not have to write "xlrd.open_workbook" in the following code but just "ope= n_workbook". So my understanding of the difference is "from...import..." sh= ortens the code (just like "using namespace std" in C++) but maybe leads to= name clash. But what is the problem of datetime?=20 2.I am also comfused that "datetime.datetime" is a function but whithin "da= tetime.datetime" there are lots of other functions. So what is the type of = "datetime.datetime" on earth? is it a function, or a class or a folder(libr= ary) here? Thanks very much in advance! Very looking forward to your answers.

Question about "protected" and "private"
[Note: parts of this message were removed to make it a legal post.] Hi, all I'm reading "Programming Ruby", and have some questions about "protected" and "private" of class. In "Programming Ruby" : Protected methods can be invoked only by objects of the defining class and its subclasses. Access is kept within the family. Private methods cannot be called with an explicit receiver. Because you cannot specify an object when using them, private methods can be called only in the defining class and by direct descendents within that same object. The di...
SMTP: "to" or/and "recipient" question.
Dear Experts, I am looking at codes somebody wrote long ago and found strange codes. As I know the "to" method is just a synonym for the "recipient" one. Codes which confused me have both calls with different address lists. What addresses will be used by SMTP in this case: 1) Declared by "to" method; 2) Declared by "recipient" one; 3) All above; 4) The first executed; 5) The last executed. Regards, Serguei.

DHTML question: DOM access to <OBJECT type="text/html" data="..." />
I recently learned how to do an <OBJECT> alternative to <IFRAME> in current browsers using: <object id="extendedhtml" type="text/html" data="otherpage.html" width="250" height="400"></object> My question is how do I access the document DOM of this object in Javascript? For example, "alert(extendedhtml.innerHTML);" doesn't work and produces an unknown error. I'd like to both read and write to the document's body element's innerHTML property, as well as access its full DOM (forms, etc)...
