Re: 2TB Drive Won’t Hot Swap! (Solved)

If you are still having issues and figure it out please post what you did to fix it. I just know this solved it for me, and others said that SP1 fixed it for them. The other thing to make sure is that you do have a proper hot swapping SATA system. Earlier SATA systems did not do hat swap.

Thanks for your response. I found the link and they emailed it to me. It wouldn't load because I am already running SP1. dumb me.... I have to turn off the computer for the drive to be noticed. Then when i pull it out the info is still retained even if I put another drive in. Computer wont see new drive until I restart it. At least it reads it at some point so I believe I'm making progress thanks to people like yourself.

If you look at the post above, at the very bottom there is a section in red that has 2011.01.25 - Update. In there is a link to a Microsoft Knowledge base article. In that article from Microsoft is a link to the hot fix. Normally you have to call Microsoft to get them after you click the link to download it. It is all free but sometimes have to call in. Also this has been fixed in Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 so just upgrade to SP1 and the fix will be installed as part of it.

If you have done the sign up there is an issue sometimes where it does not come through. I know there is a post at RIMs Support forum where you can PM a employee that will force it for you. I will try to find it for you. I know I had to do it myself the first time.

RIM made this dead simple, use the link above to register your PIN then give it a few minutes and check your OS updates on your PlayBook and download it. Could not be any simpler!

I just got it and I love it! These are some features I found:
-smaller keyboard
-minimized apps look different
-FOLDERS!!!! you can now put your apps in folders :O
-I think the LED is in use now (I went to sounds & notifications in the settings and found out that you can have glow and/or LED notifications... need to do some more research on that)
-you can change your Blackberry ID
-Word, and Excel now is called Word to go

More coming soon hopefully!

Re: Windows 7 – How To Move The Entire User Folder To A Different Drive – UPDATED!

Thanks for that. I guess if you are playing with two different drives and you remove one then I can imagine this may be quite easy to break the junction. I personally have never seen this myself but I will have to check it out and update the article above.

if you have booted in win7SP1 with a broken junction, you will find that the registry entries for the profile of users are emptied, and that the proper entries have been backed up with a .bak extension

After fixing the broken junction, you also have to restore those keys.

This is where the developer Beta part come in, this OS was not designed for public consumption just yet. The Android Player is already installed. To install an Android application you now have to take an original Android package and change it to a PlayBook installer. Once done that you have to use your sync cable and put you device in Dev mode to install the app from your PC or MAC to the PlayBook. Again not very friendly but this was not designed for click play yet.
Once OS2 is officially launched you will have Android applications in App World and they will click and install just like any other application in App World. But until then and you are a developer that wants to make sure your app can run on the PlayBook you can do it the way I mentioned above.
Its not pretty or easy but once you do it a few times there is nothing to it and if you understand why you have to do it it makes even more sense. For now I would just enjoy the cosmetic changes in the OS and new features unless you are really techy and want to fight with studf even dev find difficult at times
Here is an article from CrackBerry that explains how to do it http://m.crackberry.com/how-si...
Hope this helps!

Yes it was. I am a very tech guy and it was well worth it for me to see the changes. For normal people I have to say "this is a beta" it will possibly crash no matter who tells you its stable it's not meant for daily use. With that said many use it just fine from day to day, I did use the OS for a while but had some issues with not being able to load some applications and it causing some crashes. I was always wondering if errors I was getting was from beta or from the program. So I got what I needed from it and the release date was not that far away so I am a patient man.

Caspan. Has it been worthwhile to download the beta version?

Android player is way different then Android Market Place. Android Player will allow you to run an Android application once it is installed on your PlayBook. Market Place is also an Android application but RIM does not want you to use a Google Application to get your apps, they want you to use App World because the make a cut on every app purchased. RIM didn't put the Android player on here so Google gets richer they did it so they could get richer :)
Plus RIM 100% controls App World and can control what gets released for your device and track what has been installed.
The only way I know to get market place to run currently is to use a rooted OS to get past the limitations that prevent you from installing it.

Right but RIM is bringing an Android Player as seen on Blackberry's channel here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Android Market will only be available if you jail break your PlayBook. RIM will be distributing apps through App World not Android Market place from what I have read.

To be honest I never tested the VPN solution. We use a Cisco as well at work but VPN was never tested and never really needed to be honest (so far).
If I do some more testing I will let you know the answer. But we don't have a 3000 so I don't think I can provide the answer.

Improved VPN support? Current version does not work when connecting to Cisco 3000 series VPN concentrators. Well, it can be made to work with some changes to the concentrator that are not really friendly to all other VPN users.
