I want something for my son to where I can make a program that shows a math problem like so
123
+ 99
=====
on some sort of hand held. and allows him to draw on the screen so he can cross 3 and put 13. 3rd grade math.
I am trying to keep this as cheap as possible. Anyone know of any brands under a $100? He doesn't need a keyboard, just the pen. And I don't need any phone capabilities either. Just the handheld with pen, thats all.
Any suggestions would be great. I have an Axim, but theres no way hes uses it
Thanks,
Nick

How to get IDE device information from registry in Vista? In Windows XP I am able to retrieve that information from following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 1\Scsi Bus 0\Target Id 0\Logical Unit Id 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 0\Scsi Bus 0\Target Id 0\Logical Unit Id 0
But this path does not exist in Windows Vista. So where should I look in registry now for getting the same information?

Use Windows Management Instrumentation.

I dont want to use WMI, I want to get these information from Registry only.

The registry was never the supported way of getting this information on Windows XP, so you've just been lucky so far.
If Microsoft doesn't officially document something, they will not generally worry about changing it in a future release, unless doing so breaks a large number of products or some very important products.
WMI is the supported interface.

Go to the manufacturer's website and see if you can download a copy of the software.

A friend asked me to try and fix her Windows computer. I found that the HDD was going/gone bad so a replacement was in order. I got the new drive in place as the master and moved the old drive in as slave. Now it was just a matter of booting up from a Windows XP disc, formatting the new drive, and installing the OS. This is the proverbial "cake walk" as I've done it dozens of times. Instead, I spent the next several hours trying to figure out why the CD drive would not work. With a disc in, it will spin up and down intermittingly. I thought it was the drive so I tried a working CD drive from one of my other computers. Same thing. I also tried three other IDE cables just to make sure that wasn't the problem. No luck. To rule out a failing power supply or a bad power connector, I tried several since the machine had lots of unused ones. No matter what I tried, I could not get the CD drive to read, or even recognize, the CD. It might spin up, but then it would always end up presenting me with the "Abort, Retry, or Fail" message. I tried another CD, too. The common denominator among all of these is the IDE controller itself, but I have no way of checking that. So, can you think of anything that I could try to help rectify this problem? Can the CD drive and the HDD share the same IDE cable?
Thanks.

Yes, with the proviso that they are set differently to master/slave. I generally have HDD0 as master#0, DVDCD as master#1, HDD1 as slave#0, if that helps.

I would have unplugged the CD, imaged the drive to drive, rebooted with the new drive in the old drive's slot and the CD hooked back up. Although a clean install is always "best" in the long run, it is so hard to justify via time it takes....

Drive must be formatted with an OS before it can be booted from. This can't be done without the CD drive.

Does the CD suddenly work now?

With the exception of once, I've never installed one Windows OS atop another. Too much residual stuff left behind that causes problems later. I'd rather spend an extra 45 minutes up front rather than several hours later on.

then why bother hooking it up at all? If the drive is working, then it can be imaged.
DavidCrow wrote: Does the CD suddenly work now?
well, if you replace the disks without trying to share IDE hosting, yeah it does.
other than that you are back to checking master/slave issues with IDE, or you can drop the old drive into an IDE case on the USB and copy anything that remains after you have your OS installed.
Perhaps I misunderstood the problem, but the way it was stated, you made it sound like the main issue was sharing IDE and the drive was failing, but not completely dead. If completely dead, remove it, move the new drive into it's IDE slot and don't bother trying to share IDE channels.
The other possibility is that it is the IDE controller, not the drive or CD which is why you can't seem to read either.

Windows somehow got corrupt. Hooking it up as a slave, Windows XP will attempt to repair the bad spots on the drive. I can then copy data files from the old drive to the new drive. I can then reformat it and use it as secondary storage (going on the assumption that the old HDD does not have any physical problems).
At one point in time, the old HDD was removed from the picture. At that point, I simply wanted to boot from the CD so that I could format the new HDD. That's when I put the HDD issues aside and started down the "CD drive is messed up" road.

Yes. I believe the Hard disk has to be the first on the cable, then set the CD to be the slave.

is there anybody who can help me to and an additional ide controller to intel 195 motherboard.
i have connected 2 SATA HDD and 2 combo drives with my system, and i want to add an additional IDE to my system and my system is having only 1 IDE controller. is there any way yo increase IDE controller.

a PCI based IDE card. You might be hard pressed to find a plain one because most have the same low end raid setups as the mobos use. Any raid card that supports JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Drives) can be used as a normal IDE controller.

I had a Promise Ultra100 TX2 card in an old computer which only had ATA/33 on the motherboard (440BX chipset). That was a fine card. If you wanted to boot Windows 2000 or XP from it, though, you needed to supply Setup with a floppy disk with the drivers.
It's been discontinued but its replacement, the Ultra133 TX2[^] should still be available.
If you're going to start adding additional controllers, though, you should probably consider switching to SATA disks (where possible).

Like the one on the side of your house, or on the pole?

Well, that's easy enough... Just turn every light and every other electric device ON inside your house and I'll bet the numbers on the meter will tick faster... Also, you can turn OFF every electric device in the house and the numbers will tick slower -- might even stop!
How's that for control?
