Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
And my TiVo that is connected to the cable box had channel-changing problems last night!
However, the other TiVo didn't come back from a blackout quite right -- all I'm getting is a loud noise from the hard drive and the empty TiVo Central screen moving very slowly. I'm leaving it on in the hopes that its doing something mysterious but healing with hard disk space....
ETA: Now it's acting normal, if a bit loud. So I guess I'll eke out a little more use of it. Really, I'm just waiting until the poor thing dies so that I can justify getting a new one....
well, the cable box restart didn't do it, but it looks like the TIVO restart may have fixed the channel changing problem
Does anyone have any experience mixing ATA and SATA hard drives in the same machine? My motherboard has connectors for both, but so far I've only installed ATA drives. I'm in the market for a new drive, and I'm considering adding a SATA.
Just out of curiosity - how big is your bookmark file?
I use the google sync thingie for Firefox, so each computer has the same copy of all my bookmarks. Anyway, my bookmarks.html file is 292 KB, and my bookmarks.xml is 286 kb.
I'm on my work computer at the moment - the Firefox bookmark file on my XP machine is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.m13\bookmarks.html
My bookmark file here at work is 361 Kb. At home it's 785 Kb.

ATA is the same as IDE, right? I've had no problems connecting both to the same machine. It's no different from connecting another IDE drive. Just make sure your BIOS has SATA enabled. On some motherboards, it defaults to "disabled".

I installed a secondary SATA to the Dell box where I used to work. No problems at all--it ran better than the ata.
What's the google sync thingie? I've been using Foxmarks.
I have a few machines with both ATA and SATA drives and I've had no problems.

Google browser sync
Google Browser Sync also can sync cookies, history and saved passwords in addition to bookmarks.

Cool beans! Time to order my 500 GB precious.
