Not very up on this stuff, empip, so cannot offer anything of use. You might care to have a browse of this, though. But I thought that RAID is only used where there is more than one drive so I am confused as to how you have been able to ‘set’ RAID for a single drive. Have a look here. I have...

This is one method: START=>All Programs=>Accessories=>System Tools Right-click on System Restore Click copy Move cursor to the desktop Right-click and paste to desktop Right-click the newly created icon Click Pin-to-menu Hope it works. :wink:

When empip said that his 840 was for a desktop I looked to see if any 840s (not the pro version) were available for a laptop. That there were only the pro models led me to believe that empip’s 840 was specifically for a desktop ie 3½". Otherwise it is an older model no longer available and is...

Having a peruse at the Samsung SSDs it looks like only the 840 pro is available for laptops, ie 2½inch. I was told that the Crucial M4/M500 are worth considering and are around £140-150 with a 3 year warranty, whereas the 840 Pro is around £180 with a 5 year warranty so I think I will go for the...

I am planning to replace a failed/failing HDD in a XPS laptop. Other than size is there much difference in noticeable performance between the prevailing specs on the market? Probably looking for 128GB or maybe a 256gb. Thanks for any help.

I'll have to check with my dad but I don't see why the screws would have shifted - I am assuming that the mirror broke into pieces and the screws remained in place. I will try to confirm this though.

Sorry for the delay. The mirror is screwed to the wall by two screws one each side.

It is not a particularly small window – about 1.4m by 1m. The bathrooms are on the same floor as the kitchens. The neighbours reckon there was a lot of noise re getting the old unit out; the builders needing to use a lot of force in the process. No, Joe, they are not shaving mirrors. My dad’s...

The freehold is owned by the tenants and collectively they make the decisions to carry out the major redecorations every few years, appointing the necessary builders to do this. Yes, it is a bit odd that 2 mirrors should break, but the bathrooms, though belonging to two different flats, share...

Yes, there is buildings insurance but there is a an excess of around £150 for any claim.

Fair point, rjm, it does sound a bit trivial and my dad can replace the item himself without too much difficulty. But what I forgot to add was that the next door flat also has had their mirror crack, presumably due to the work undertaken. Should this also be something that my dad should cover?

My dad lives in a flat in a converted Victorian property which has recently undergone redecorations. He specified that he wanted a replacement window in the kitchen – a dg unit - and left the keys with the builders as he had planned a months holiday whilst the work was ongoing. Upon his return...

Oh?....and why should it do that, exactly? :shock:

Well I’m glad to hear it, Nige. This pipe (is it for condensation?) was painted on our own installation a couple of years back and they were very clean inside the property also. I guess it depends who you get? I still think that if the contractor does not carry out the work then it should fall...

Exquisite, seco. :D :D :D
