Yes, it's enabled, and the drive works. It just does not show up in the 'Safely Remove Hardware' applet in the SystemTray. I finally got a response to my Support Ticket at LaCie. They say that SATA and eSATA will not show up in the Safely Remove Hardware applet. Even though their manual clearly says to use it when hotswapping an eSATA drive. Hence the confusion. I think my only choices to shut this drive down is to Shutdown my computer, or go to the Device Manager and disable/enable the drive every time. Or, don't use eSATA?

I also have manually modded my own icon to make it stand out more. sometimes I just could not find that white plane icon..

There is already a version of that with UP 2.01. So, you can try that if you want and see if it works. It's not for an Maps. It is for widescreen monitors... If you have a widescreen monitor and have hacked your conf.ini file (the top section) to make it display the game wider, then in the game the Main Menu, and also the Full Mission Builder, now has black bars on the sides because it does not stretch to fit the wider screen. This mod fixes that.

Hmm, I have not heard about a Wide Map mod. Do you have a link?

Ok, my WD 500gig MyBook External Drive took a crap on me last week. It found a ton of bad sectors and could not move or repair them. And I could not format it, and my system would loose the device every few minutes. I used that drive with Firewire400, and I just plugged it in the port and used it. I had completely forgot about UnMounting it before I unplugged it, so I would just pull the Firewire plug when I was done. I am starting to wonder if this may have been a cause of all the bad sectors? Anyhow, I don't want to do that again.. So, I bought a LaCie d2 quadra 1T External drive the other day. (Great drive for the price BTW. Heavy aluminum block case and all the port connections you could want!) I have it plugged into an eSATA port on the back of my MB. The manual says to UnMount it using the 'Safely Remove Hardware' applet in the System Tray. However, this drive does not appear in the list. The manual clearly says that even for eSATA, I should use 'Safely Remove Hardware' before unplugging it. Does Windows look at eSATA as a device that needs to be UnMounted? I thought eSATA was different and was looked at as an external system harddrive and maybe it doesn't fall into that category? I'm trying to figure out why it is not in the list to Safely Remove?? My plan to use this is to turn it on, manually do my backups, and turn it off. This way if I get a virus or something the backup drive cannot be affected since it is off. Yesterday, I flipped the power switch on the back of the drive and turned it off. The lights went off, and I could still access the drive for about 30 seconds after it was powered down!? Does the eSATA cable provide power? How could I still access this drive if it is powered off? Now, I am wondering if I even need to pull the cable as well as powering it off..

This sounds great. I watched the video on that link and it looks pretty easy, except I would need to remove my MB to install the back plate (dammit). Right now I am using a heatsink and I am getting 43c at idle. That's OC'ed to 3.6ghz.

Hey Asas. We are using Teamspeak 3. Check here for TS info. We are using UP 2.01. I'm not sure what you have installed. But if you are starting from the beginning, install the game and patch up to 4.09m. Then download and install the 'Full Ultrapack 2.01'. Go >> here <<, and scroll down about 1/2 way and look for "UP 2.01 Full Download is available for Torrent:". You can download the Torrent, or download the 9 separate parts manually. And of course you can check out my UP Setup Guide.

I Totally Agree.... with FT. I am too tired to read all of that. But after reading the first two and the last one, I am sure I totally agree with all the rest in the middle.

I am on my 3rd XM Radio. While I love satellite radio, their recordable radios have been kind of crappy and expensive. But the plain old radio receivers work well. I have it record talk shows every day so I can listen whenever I want. With the Droid Incredible that I bought about two months ago, I can also receive about 200+ radio stations all for free with the 'I Heart Radio' app and other apps..

New DCS: A10C webpage: (lot's of info here) http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=2452&scr=default&lang=en The Training on the webpage sounds pretty good. Much better than the Extremely Crappy audio in the YouTube videos for \Lockon 2.0. ie: There is a lot of great info on the page, just scroll down...

Happy Birthday Jack!

Happy Birthday Gary!

Hmm, I was going to get a new car, but for $35,500, I'll think about this...

Maybe you can't delete it because BitTorrent is still open and using it?

Happy staying alive another year guys!

S! Condor, welcome! Just ask on Teamspeak or post for some training and you will find several members happy to help. As for spinning out, a few of us still do it a lot. Best thing to learn is how to recover. Also, you can tweak your joystick curves with a little tool called IL2 JoyControl.

Nice save Dan! What were you doing in the first place Jim? Digging out more peat for sale?

So you cannot get inside of your tank? Ever?

I just applied for the beta testing. What is this? Is that some other way of trying it out?

Have you tried flashing a new or older bios?

Nope, I never heard of anything like that.

Here is some more info posted by my buddies about the ones they bought. "You can put a 16 gig card in the camera, but the batteries only last about an hour. "
