On windows, I'd like to do a raw read on a full physical volume. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

To clarify, I'm not trying to read a file system, or a partition. Just the whole...

I'm trying to create some sports videos, using Cinerella. I am using a Slackware Linux system.

Does anyone here have some Cinerella experience so that they could answer some questions? I'm...

Here's what I did... because we were down to one shower...

-left the old gasket in place.
-cleaned things up.
-put a rope of putty around the old gasket.
-cleaned the old putty off the drain,...

You're absolutely right... efficacy is the lighting term. And I was able to find a few data points. I've generalized them here:

Metal Halide, the subject source I asked about, I found a...

Tom, thanks for your persistence and patience.

The installation I have is as you describe.

The gaskets I could find were 3/32, 1/8 and 3/8. My gasket measures just over 3/16. 1/8 would be...

OK, here's the update. I tapped around the drain with a hammer, and then applied the newly bought "dumbell" wrench, which was a reasonable alternative to the grooved socket. Drain out.

The...

Tom, went at it this morning, and ran into mechancal issues. The drain assy is cast brass, and the drain in the tub didn't want to turn. There is a cast cross piece, which has a screwhole in it,...

I'm wondering if anyone can speak in generalities about lighting efficiency. My recollection is that High Pressure Sodium is the highest efficiency, with the most photons in the visible spectra per...

Tom, I picked up gaskets... all I could find, and looked at a kit. The system is rather simple. I also got a dumbbell wrench, just in case I need it. (Given how much I spend at the local harware...

I'm not real worried about the PVC burning, but I am worried about the termination. I'll look again for the Trane kit, thanks.

By screen over the PVC, I'm thinking 1/4" rat wire. I agree that...

PVC is fine for getting there... I'm wondering if I leave exposed pipe or if there are fixtures which can be mounted on the side of the house.

If I use just PVC pipes, I'd probably put screens...

On the three head drum, two of the heads appear identical. One appears to have a finer gap, and is constructed differently. Is that the special effects head?

I've cleaned them, and things are...

I have an open loop geothermal heat pump. Controlling the water flow is a Taco valve on the outlet side of the heat pump, where the ground water is returned to a discharge well. To regulate the flow...

I'm wondering what options I have for outside supply and discharge? The appliance is a high efficiency York NG furnace (small, less than 60K BTU.).

The installation manual shows what could...

I'm looking to replace a failed (power surge between power fails) BRK 600, which is a nice wall mount timer (8 settings, 24 hour clock) and dimmer (touch it and the light goes up and down in...

I mounted the round box over the existing receptical box. I used #10 SS deck screws (squaredrive). The top one went into a 2x4 cross member for mounting the receptical, and the bottom one went into...

Yes, the slides were viewed on a projector. Quite a few people have seen them, and the reflections. Someone once had an explanation for the reflection, but I didn't understand it.

Sometimes I...

Many of the chamois sticks sold for headcleaning are fake chamois.

On an 8mm head, or at least on the equipment I own, there are three heads. I seem to recall that one has a much narrower...

Tom, is a dumbbell wrench what might be used to pull the flange? (I understand that you said I can probably use a pliers, inside.)

Let's assume that the installer did a best effort, and that the...

The images I have, which are any good are Kodachrome 25 slides, taken over 25 years ago. They clearly show the second glory. Shots taken with conventional color print film lack sufficient gamut to...

Well the good news is that when I mounted the box horizontally, I put a 2x4 crossmember between the framing studs. I can get at least two screws into that.

Thanks for your help, and enjoy your...

I'm not sure I have the correct diagram, but it looks like from the top, there is a screen, then a flange, then a gasket to the tub, then parts I can't access from the top. Do I have that right?
...

Thank you for your informative answer. I will look, but I believe that the existing box is a gangable box. I have 8-32 taps. The halogen fixtures are light enough so that I'm not real worried...

The 'image' of the aircraft is just the shadow of the aircraft... because the center of a rainbow or glory is opposite the sun... so it has to be in the center :)

I'd buy this, since the sun is...

Can anyone explain the pilot's rainbow? Why, just prior to entering a cloud, is there a mirror image of the aircraft, with a rainbow surrounding it?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean wing roll, or wing pitch? Relative to the ground, or to the relative wind?

In a spin, at least one side of the wing (left or right) will be...

Galley recepticles are typically powered by an inverter, which converts the ship power to a power suitable for the intended load.

I'm using high end (pro oxide and metal) Sony tapes in several camcorders, but periodically the heads get dirty, and need to be cleaned.

I've used chamois cleaning sticks, dry cleaning tapes, and...

When I built my house 25 years ago, I put six boxes in, on various corners, under the eaves of the roof, for floodlights. Since then, I've put three quartz halogen floodlights in, two 500W in the...

FWIW, I had something similar. 12-3 to a far end of the house. 115V outlets on each side. Put two GFCI's on each side, and the remaining outlets on either GFCI leg. False trips all the time. I...

Dug more. The tub is 98% used as a shower. Here's what I'm finding out. It apparently seems to leak when people showing stand on the drain area. No cracks in the tub, but I'm afraid that with a...

I have a upstairs tub, which is structurally sound, and the wall around it (tile) appears to be in good condition, and the grout looks excellent. However, every now and then, the ceiling below gets...

It seems that the damages are $30, for the movie. If it was such a hot movie, then he was a poor businessman in not getting another copy.

What state are you in?

I am wondering what methods are normally employed to quietly reduce water flow through lines?

My application is a water souce heatpump (open loop) which I have installed. Now I need to get the...

OK, I see the grooves in the plastic drain I picked up to help me understand the problem. And if I understand you correctly, the mortar is OK to get up to the weep holes, because it will pass some...

The drain you show a picture of is what I assume I already have (in brass and who knows what else). I'm also assuming that my breech of the lead pan is very close to that drain.

Oh, I can run a...

I believe the reason a lead pan was used is that the shower dimension is non-standard. Is there broader selection in plastic?

The second part of the story is that I'd rip out the shower, and...

Rewiping could be conceptually done, but practically I don't see how. The lead pan has a mortar base below it, and some kind of cementous material, which I recall was thinset, on top of it. Then...

I have shower stall, which is 25 yo with a lead pan installed (saw it done). The pan appears to have developed a leak near the drain.

I've dug out the grout in the vicinity of the drain, and if...

I have an older 586 with AMIBIOS, which does not permit booting from the CDROM. Sbootmgr.dsk, an instance of SBM (Smart Boot Manager), is distributed with Slackware and some other distributions.
