Thread: Using EWF on regular WinXP

VIA MII 1Ghz, 512MB RAM, acscontrol CF-IDE adapter, SanDisk UltraII 1GB, Panasonic slim DVD/CDRW.

I`m planning on having a flash card. Either the SanDisk UltraII 1GB optimized CompactFlash cards that have a minimum sustained write speed of 9MB per second and a read speed of 10MB per second. But the NEW Lexar 80x 1GB Compact Flash 1 GB PRO CompactFlash card delivers 16MB/sec read 12.0MB/sec write.

The Reason for this is I dont want my hard drive to be shaken about in my tiny roadster and screwing with the harddisks inside corrupting the data.

Looking into which CF-IDE adapter to buy
Im a bit confused between the differences with the old and new ide cables that SFiorito mentioned..

This http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/mul...?cid=6007-6133 is the data I used to decide to go with the UltraII and Extreme cards. Take a look at the Extreme III cards up top!!! As far as IDE adaptor, the acscontrol one I have seems to work fine. I haven't tested out the other one yet because it takes the smaller 3V connector and my powersupply only has one (being used by my DVD drive). The acscontrol adapter takes the 5V connector. What I mean by the older IDE cables is ata33 cables (I guess that's what they are), not the udma ata100 cables.

Hibernation seems to be about 2-3 seconds faster booting up (16 - 17 seconds versus 18-20 seconds cold boot). Now, keep in mind that I haven't loaded up a frontend yet so depending on the startup times for the frontend, cold boot may be signficantly slower than hibernation (which will have the frontend already up and loaded). Knubile says the frontends don't handle hibernation very well so it may not even be an issue of whether we need to cold boot or not. How do the frontends handle standby? Because that's what I'm planning to use.

Front ends survive the hibernation just find. What I meant was they're not good with EWF at the moment. They will play the song they were at when you create your hibernation image every time they start up.
So freeze it playing Tool, then resume. Select ABBA, listen to that. Stop half way through. Resume. It's back to tool. As much as I like tool, I don't want that to me the playlist playing every time I start up. Not like I want it to be ABBA either.

Oh, I see. I thought you meant they couldn't resume right. What happens if you install the frontend on your external, unprotected drive?

For those with XM, why not hiberate with one of your favorite channels playing. Should be a different song each time you hope in. Same true for FM. Then just switch to your database if so desired.

I have FrodoPlayer installed on an unprotected partition. With the HORM setup it still loads in the same spot. I guess it's not reading from the state file on resume.
