How fast do bad sectors spread? I have 2 bad sectors on my 560gb HDD. It's 8-years-old and I have nothing but games there so I don't mind it dying and I have nothing to back up. I just want to know how long until I have to order a new HDD?

Did anyone try moving their Users folder to another drive?
I get a lot of savefiles in there along with shit like Chromium being installed there and putting their crap there as well, so I wanted to move to another HDD, which should ease up reinstallation like on linux.

I see now that there are 2 ways:
>move entire Users folder to another drive and symlink it
>set the Location property on every folder
dunno which to do, I was hoping anyone had experience with symlinking theirs on another drive, I only heard it messes up upgrading to another OS and maybe some updates

I want to do the following, but am too retarded to figure out how:
>add ssd storage/RAM
Is this as easy as just plugging these into the motherboard?
>decide other small additions/upgrades
I think my cpu is running hot. Possible to add an aftermarket heatsink after the fact?
Do any upgrades look warranted?
>setup dualboot windows/leenoox because I hate using windows 10 for my internet machine
is there a /g/ approved guide for this? I need handholding because I'm stupid

>>60366160
advice, dont
you will only have issues with it

>>60366160
i've done it
it's a bit of a pita the move the whole thing, as i haven't found a way to 'move' junctions, and user folders have several of them in them for legacy purposes
you can manually create new junctions in the target folder and it'll work
or just symlink the folders you want to (downloads, appdata, etc)

>>60366160
>>60366186
oh, i'm not sure if it will be useful for reinstalling like how you can easily reuse /home when reinstalling linux
each user folder in windows contains the user-specific registry hive
i don't think i've tried reusing a user folder with windows, but i'd imagine at least some registry modifications will need to be done to make it work

>add ssd storage/
yeap, too bad no m.2 slot on mobo but classical 2.5" drive is fine
>RAM
why? I have 16gb for my virtual machines, but why you want to spend $ on ddr3? That seems not really necessary
>add an aftermarket heatsink
sure, CRYORIG H7 for $35 is very popular, if it fits your case
>dualboot windows/leenoox
you already have windows, always have windows installed first when doing shit
buy new SSD, run linux installer of your choice, point it at the empty new SSD
all is then taken care of

>>60366236
-- oh, and don't even think about upgrading windows and reusing a home folder, that'll probably just make a mess

>>60366183
both of those ways?
That seems kinda fucked up considering Location is a built in feature

>>60366186
ah yes I meant junctions, not symlinks

>>60366236
yea I didn't really expect it to be that way, but it being separated from the windows drive is enouh for me

whats the most easy way to pirate Windows 10 right now?

i used DAZ Loader for Win7 for years and it worked perfectly, but sadly DAZ doesnt support Win10.

>>60366259
>ah yes I meant junctions, not symlinks
you'll use a symlink to relocate the folder(s), junctions only work between folders on the same disk
what i mean is things like say "c:\users\username\documents and settings" (the windows xp name for the documents folder) is a junction to the new documents folder, which exists so programs expecting "documents and settings" will continue to work

robocopy can't move junctions, at least i couldn't see a way to make it do so, which means you need to create new junctions yourself in the new location

So according to Intel my cpu has tJUNCTION max of 100C, my cpu is going to around 80-85 under load, is it acceptable?
or will it fry things in my laptop when it's around 85

Are there any cryptocurrencies right now that are worth mining with a GTX 1080?

>>60366298
ah so all those existing legacy ones would have to be recreated to point to the new location.
Kinda weird how no 'guides' that I've seen mention that, they just junction the User folder and that's it

>>60366336

Electrical components can survive about 95 'C indefinitely.

>>60366389
the only junctions in a user folder are for legacy folders, so just not making them won't break new software, just older stuff

Any file rename software that renames files using the Unix Timestamp of the time that they were created or modified, like 4chan does to uploaded files?

>>60366160
I've been using this setup on both my machines for several years now. Use a symlink to move c:\users\you, not just c:\users - the latter is asking for trouble.
>>60366186
>>60366298
As this guy says, there are junction points in the user directories for compatibility that you can't copy. I've never bothered to recreate them, and so far nothing has complained. Of more concern is the bunch of hidden system files in the user directory like ntuser.dat. These are important, and you can't reuse them between installs.

Some quirks I found:
- Search indexing can fail through symlinks, resulting in search appearing to not work
- Explorer interprets permissions weirdly: you need to set the permission on the symlink object to match those on the real user directory.

reading through https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145(v=ws.11).aspx
looks like it ignores junctions by default
some frenchie supposedly made a script that recreates the default junctions but I don't plan on rewriting half of that french shit

So

robocopy c:\Users\User d:\Users\User /mir /xj /copyall

What is a GPU passthrough? And I've heard it's an alternative to dual booting, let's say I want to install Ubuntu as a new OS but have some games and softwares that dependent on Windows, is it possible to run them with GPU passthrough instead of needing to deal with the hassle of installing two OS?

>>60366573
it's a completely fresh install so no harm done

I've just tried it and on first look it seems to work fine. The libraries shortcuts all work and on the User folder on C seems identical.
I had to boot into linux to delete the old User folder on C because DEL wouldn't work for some reason.
Something weird happened to Explorer, I had another drive in with an old installation of Windows on it, deleted everything on it except the Users folder and renamed it to something like "bakUsers", yet Explorer shows the folder as "Users" but still properly sorts it as if it "bakUsers".
Chromoum also seemed to launch with the old shortcut, but doesn't want to load any page, not even the settings, I'll just have to reinstall it I guess.
I wonder if I should've formatted that whole old drive before copying the user folder onto it

I have a SFF under the TV box that ran Windows 8 out of the box. I eventually upgraded to Windows 10 right around the time the (((free))) upgrade program was happening. I much prefer 10, but ultimate it doesn't matter since its for movies and games and I hardly ever see the desktop.

I got a bad virus or something. I was browsing shady sites (one of those DUDE check THIS out social gatherings you know) then I got a popup, and shortly afterward my computer restarted itself but I can't get to the deskop, on either account (I have guest type deal).

I did a factory reset, which put me back to Windows 8 (can I get 10 back?), but there are still little niggling things here and there that make me think its not all clean. I can't open CCleaner for instance, even on a fresh install. Can't update malwarebytes or anything like that. And I get popups when I'm not even browsing. And I mean again this is after a reset.

I want to do a complete whipe so I tried to create installation media using the Windows tool, but it doesn't recognize my flash drive. I googled around and apparently this is a common issue with SanDisc but ALL my drives are either SanDisc or below 2GB so they won't work.

A CD is out of the question, no disc drive and I don't have an external one.

I created a Windows 8 install media with Rufus, but I haven't tried it yet, because I want to wipe EVERYTHING before I install.

What would you do in my position?

>>60367991
>Explorer shows the folder as "Users" but still properly sorts it as if it "bakUsers".

I'd remove the hard disc, use another PC to load Linux, and never be stupid enough to use Windows where it is not absolutely required.

Linux installs are portable so there's no issue with loading on one PC then reinstalling the drive in another.

One used to doing this it's easy.

I collect flash drives and use them for different things. You can run Linux live from them to try it without changing anything on the hard disk or with no hard disk at all. You can wipe your original hard disk from the live OS.

OS are tools. Make friends with all of them.

To do GPU passthrough you need a virtual machine. They you just "give" your GPU to your VM, the VM will use it as if it were actually running on your computer and your host machine won't be able to use the GPU anymore. Setting up GPU passthrough is harder than just installing two OS but it lets you play games without having to reboot your computer.

What does Windows 10 'Game Mode' actually do?

How does it know what programs are games and what aren't? Does it only apply to fullscreen games or will it enable game mode for windowed games as well?

Regarding PS4 Pro checkerboard rendering;

When a game is said to be say '1440p with checkerboard rendering', are they saying that the game is rendered in 1440p, then uses checkerboarding to get to fake 4K?

Or are they saying the game is rendered at some lower res, and uses checkerboarding to get to fake 1440p?

So, if I wanted to use that GPU would I need to undone all the settings I've set up for GPU passthrough and repeat every time? If yes, would I need another graphics card for my Ubuntu OS or a integrated graphics card do the job?

>would I need another graphics card for my Ubuntu OS or a integrated graphics card do the job?
Integrated graphics are sufficient when it comes to watching 1080p movies, but you probably won't be able to use websites with very heavy 2d and 3d animations.

>>60368635
Okay, I guess buying a high-end graphics card for gaming and a low-end for other things is the best course of action I can think of. Thanks for all the answers, it was quite helpful.

Shut down your computer. Remove all your drives except the one you want to clone. Boot a linux usb drive. Run "ls /dev/disk/by-uuid". Write the numbers down and the path (it looks like "../../sda"). Shut down the computer. Plug the new drive in. Boot a linux usb drive. Run "ls /dev/disk/by-uuid". The numbers from previous time will show up and a new line should show up. Run "dd if=/dev/disk/by-uuid/THE_NUMBERS_YOU_WROTE_DOWN of=/dev/disk/by-uuid/THE_NEW_NUMBERS". Once the command is down you can shut down the computer, unplug the old drive, put the new drive in its stead and reboot the computer.

I'm currently on XP because I found this laptop at a garage sale. It was in really good condition. Would I just put the ISO image onto the flash drive, plug it in, and install it?

>>60371342
You need a USB flash drive that's large enough to contain an OS installation (8GB should be enough for the majority).
What do you want to install?
Windows?
If you don't have the .iso yet, head on here http://mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/ and download the .iso that you want.
After that, get Rufus, open it, select the your USB flash drive under 'Device', leave the rest as it is, click the little CD button next to dropdown that says "ISO image", point to your .iso that you downloaded and press start.
After it's finished, you need to boot from that USB.
Restart you PC and on the BIOS screen try to see if you have a boot menu and just open that and select the USB. If not you'll need to open BIOS setup and set the USB drive as the first priority boot device.
Then just install like usual

Stupid request: Someone please post the typical mac user with a slouched/curved back, please. As high res as possible.

>>60371532
Ok, thanks. I'll have to get the flashdrive first though. Also, what would happen to my old OS? Would I have to delete it?

>>60371619
yes, easiest would be to format the whole drive or at least the partition where you're going to install the OS.
So save all your shit that you need somewhere else

>>60371342

Due to the recent happenings that took place I would like to upgrade the OS of the PC I play games with from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

However, I'm not too fond on pirating because I'll fuck up in some way again.
I decided to head to the store today and only found the 120 euro (+/- 130 dollar) and 180 euro (+/- 200 dollar) version.

If there's no other way I'll buy it but I came up with something.
I am however not sure if this would work the way I believe.

I thought of installing a ''trial'' version of Windows 10 from the official Microsoft website, then buy a key somewhere for cheap and activate it to a full version with that.
I found keys as cheap as 14 euro (+/- 15 dollar) and 17 euro (+/- 18 dollar).

Could someone please give me some advice here?
I'd greatly appreciate any answers.

>>60373043

>>60372715
i already did. and i just realized this is not the place to ask for advice

>>60373083

>>60373062
>Due to the recent happenings that took place I would like to upgrade the OS of the PC I play games with from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
windows 7 is supported until 2020 though
you have 3 years left to learn to use linux

>>60373083
It doesnt matter what you boot from, if you have an optical drive you might as well use a disc.

>>60373126
I use Linux for daily stuff, I would just like to stay with Windows for my games because they work better there.

>>60373062
Use the official Media Creation Tool to burn the iso to a usb. Install. And activate with either cheap key or KMSpico (from mydigitallife win10 forum) if the nagging is too annoying IDK. I think you can get updates and everything forever without activating even.

>>60372685
since I use Chromium mostly, how do I put a pass on that BEFORE it opens? it needs to prompt for a password before you can even see the start page.

>>60373166
I will try this, thanks a lot.

>>60373165
Go with win10,as more and more games switch to dx12,you might as well not have to do another install in 1,2 years

>>60373199
Thanks for your advice.
Can you tell me if my plan would work out though?
Install Windows 10 trial from Microsoft site, then buy a cheap key somwhere and upgrade it to a full version with that.

>>60373220
Just get the enterprice verzion and use dazloader

>>60372841

Where the fuck is my SSD space going?
The computer I own has an SSD with (roughly) 64 gigs, where the system resides. Programs and documents are on a separate partition (some dipshit programs also installed themselves onto C: without asking first, but their size is negligible). I get warned constantly that I'm running out of space, and everytime I delete some big files, the partition automagically fills up again until I have next to no more space left. At this point there is absolutely nothing left on my C: drive that could be deleted. What the fuck is going on and how do I stop this madness?

yes, but still heavier than previous versions of windows. You can also """disable""" the telemetry on home/pro, it just takes more work.

Already used WinDirStat, it just shows that about half of the disk is used by the Windows directory, which is a place where I better not poke around. The remainder of the space is hard to track down as it is used by several programs and application data the programs put into the documents folder. I guess I can purge some stuff like program caches etc. but I expect that stuff to come back rather quickly.

Hi
I have a question regarding reinstalling Windows and my HDD's.

I wonder how to completely erase a HDD as if it would come out of the factory, and if this is possible at all.
I read that formatting or ''cleaning'' the disc just ''hides'' the files and allow them to be overwritten instead of really removing them, is it possible to make my two HDDs back to factory new?

Another question.
I would like to switch over from a pirated version of Windows 7, activated with Dazloader (Which I've had quite a few problems with) to a legit version of Windows 10, would it be best to just buy a new hard drive before installing the legit version?
I ask because of the thing I wrote earlier, files being hidden instead of deleted, perhaps they could mess with eachother.

Thanks in advance, would be very happy to receive answers.

>>60374112
Data that "hides" is as good as deleted unless its being analyzed by a data forensics professional. Unless thats your objective, don't worry no harm will come.

>>60374223
Thanks a lot.
I was a little bit worried that perhaps because I used to have a pirated version of Windows on this same drive it would perhaps try to rip the key I bought or something and duplicate it / add it to the dazloader database.
I guess I'm just being paranoid.
Thanks for answering, appreciate it.

I have a straight talk phone, and they won't push OS updates. It's a S3 and I'm still on android 4.1.2. Is there anything I can do to update it? I heard that best buy will update the OS but I don't know if that's true.

24 hours or dont bother

>24 hours
But I hear that it's massive overkill. Usually an issue will appear within the first two hours if there is an issue at all. Is a 24 hour test really necessary?

>>60378968
Yes.

>>60378872
Where can I download those? I'm assuming I need another computer to access them.

I'm a complete illiterate when it comes to computers so I'm sorry for the extra stupid question

>>60378982
If your lan drivers are working just plug it in to the router and then download them from your mobo's website

>>60378982
The manufacturer of your systems mobo is usually the first place to look. Look for your motherboard on their website, and head over to the download page. The drivers are usually there and the most up to date for said mobo.

>>60378894

no. fix your cooler or you're going to fry it.

I don't have access to the router itself unfortunately, though I do have a laptop that can access the Internet, can I download them to a usb and get them to.my drsktop.thay way?

are there any decent free video editing programs? I only need a really simple one and I don't have WMM

But that was during burntest, I had realtemp open while burntest was running.

I reapplied new thermal paste yesterday, and the fans and radiator are working fine. I doubt it'll reach 80 even under load anyway.

it shouldn't be going over 60 with that that OC.

Modern UEFI is usually shipped with the default OS keys built in too along with OEM keys. So other keys won't work (ie you can't easily pirate another OS onto the laptop)

>>60379343
Yeah, most of it I just copied from another config, but you don't need to come to /sqt/ just to mock people.

>>60379371
>just to mock people.
you asked if something was wrong and i pointed it out to you.

I've been using integraded graphics for a long time since i rarely play games. but i went to an outlet store and picked up a gtx 460 768mb of vram.
put it into my pci slot, connected the two 6pin psu connectors to the gpu. but my computer doesn't recognize it. what do?

Of all the choices you could have made you had to get a fermi.
Return it and get a 7/5/6/80

Youll have to do some fukery to tell windows to use the gfx card instead of the built in.Check your bios

>>60379098
I think Burntest really stresses out the cpu, and is not a good way to test load temps. I ran prime95 for 10 minutes, having the cpu at 100% load and I was getting a package temperature of about 63 degrees, with core 3 & 4 reaching a high of 67 at one point but staying usually in the 65 area. While it's not under 60, I think this is a fine temp.

>>60379444
Is the 460 that bad? i'm only using it for light gaming

Do I have a room for modest overclock if my FX-6300 goes to 65C in stress test? What temps are fine for this chip? I'm getting mixed message from googling.

>>60379481
Fermi's run notoriously hot(100C under normal use).They also had driver issues back in the day.

>>60379499
Oh alright, i'll return it tomorrow. Would the GT 430 1gb vram be ok?

>>60379529
Its still a fermi lol 4XX
Get a 750, it should be more the enough for "light gaming".

So I came back to my computer and was greeted by the "A bootable device has not been detected." message. Event viewer showed that when I was afk there had been an unexpected shutdown, but there's literally nothing listed before where it shows me turning the computer back on. Of course, viewing the event viewer right now, of course it turned back on just fine. Where else would I look to see what the fuck happened?

>>60379529
Anon In your store look for GTX 1050Ti or RX 460.
Even a GTX 1050 would o.

GT cards are really weak and not for gaming at all.

Sorry then, I've changed that but still shows the same thing, is this something to be worried or is it normal? I don't know of any way to check if the shaders are being used or not

>>60379575
Find out which shader is prompting the error.
It seems like its just a warning and there is no real error here

>>60379567
>GTX 1050Ti
Can confirm, 1080p Witcher on highest settings runs smooth. I know it's not the most demanding game, but 1050Ti will be enough for light gaming.

I am a complete retard on linux
However, I bought a c710 chromebook from a friend with Debian installed
I managed to use pretty well so far, however, I want to use the SD card slot with a microsd adapter
I plug it in, boot, nothing shows up in thunar
Suggestions?

Pic related, it's the chromebook

>>60379679
Thats fine

>>60379679
Have you tried looking for other stores?

Anyway since its $80 USD its good enough if you wanna play games on mid settings@1080p.

>>60379673
The game i'm going to be playing is called cs:go, i don't really know anything about it, that's why i'm getting a gpu.

>>60379710
Manually confirm it is working before relying on some filemanager

>>60379729
Anybody correct me if I'm wrong, I don't play FPSs, but IIRC it's gonna run on almost anything.

>>60379729
You should be able to run it at high settings with no problem, its not really a intensive game.

I'm trying out linux using a USB bootable image and i need to know which file system is better.
If I choose FAT32 will it automatically corrupt all of my files which are larger than 4gb that are on my hard drive?

>>60379783
They have to make an attempt so people use it over vent/mumble/teamspeak/discord

>>60379803
use ext4,there is no reason to use anything but ext4.Maybe xfs if you're running a large nas with large media files,but for day to day use,ext4 is more then enough
Stay clear of btrfs

my uni had lab computers for CS students that allowed multiple people to remotely login to the same computer with a full blown interface and really no lag . someone could be on the computer in person but there could be 10 people "using" the computer remotely without ever knowing it unless you checked the user processes

what should i read to go about setting up something like that on my own computer?

these were all linux computers running centOS

I have a modem connected to my copper adsl line, and a second router connected to one of its ethernet ports, because my modem's wireless sucks and the router has no port for the adsl cable. I disabled the modem's wireless, and am using the router as an access point (its ip is 192.168.1.1). The router also has an access point mode, that makes its ip, and all the connected devices become 168.0.x. Should I use the first or second mode?

>>60379743

>>60380370
the keybinds are displayed at the bottom of every instance of nano

>>60380307
What do you mean by low TDP cpu and gpu? Does it mean that it has a low Tmax and thus may be prone to overheating or the fan always being on?

Would my GPU refuse to run if I remove the fan shroud, and plug out the fans from the fan pins?
They won't be nessecary on my build, they'll be replaced by case fans instead, but plugged into mobo pwm.

How can I easily and safely bypass Ad.fly pages? I've got Ublock Orgin but I feel that may not be enough since there's some weird shit popping up and there's a series of OSTs i'm trying to download in FFShrine and all the DLs in one thread are behind said Ad.fly pages now.

>>60380620
Because it has onboard software that is looking for the fans,and it isnt there.

Sounds like you're just trying to sound smart, without actually knowing what you're taking about.

Figure I would post this here instead of starting a new thread.:

I went from windows XP and did an upgrade to windows 7 but it says my system isn't genuine. I've gone ahead and hit Windows update and downloaded all the updates I can but I don't see one listed for March 14 which is when the patch for Wannacy came out.

Are the security patches bundled together? Also what else can I do to secure my computer? I'm starting to get into crypto currency and exchanges and I don't want to fuck anything up.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

>>60380736
The onboard controller is looking for the fans as part of its post.Those controllers are there for monitoring the temps,aswell as throttling the fans based on those temps

>>60380655
Adfly user here.

uBlock Origin should be enough, are you only using the stock filters? if so, add more in uBlock settings.

>>60380765
You didn't even read the question, that's why you appear to be a smartass without a clue.

Those exist for cpu at least, the question was if that existed for gpus as well. Just don't answer, because I know that you don't know what you're talking about.

>>60380620
Most cards don't care if the fan's unplugged. I've had four cards now where I'v either replaced the fans or gone ghetto water cooling using nothing attached to the card fan connector, always worked fine.

>>60380438
It means that it throttles to keep heat and power usage low.

>>60380739
nvm, figured it out:

shadow-exclude-reg = "8x1080+1920+0";

>>60380781
>are you only using the stock filters? if so, add more in uBlock settings.
I guess, it's been a while since I messed with anything. How would I need to adjust UBO to skip past Ad.Fly?

>>60380819
That's not what it means... Are you the same person who tried to answer my GPU question? Low tdp means it's running cooler, to achieve those cooler temperatures, it'll perform below that of the desktop version of the cpu/gpu

>>60380834
You cant skip it directly but you can block it from loading any ads and popups.
You will still have to wait the 5 seconds, but nothing will load.


Open the Menu, Click the uBlock Origin icon in your toolbar, Click the gear next to the name and version number.

Then go to 3rd-party filters.
