No More Woes
I was quite frustrated with the server box that I have.
First, installing an 80GB drive to hold our MP3s was a trial:
- Fiddle with jumpers on hard drives
- Motherboard BIOS doesn't recognize 80GB
- Figure out MB brand and current BIOS version
- Download flash updater and new BIOS
- Find floppy drive to install with
- Find OS to make bootable floppy (that link was a lifesaver)
- Flash BIOS
- Drive recognized!
I’m using NetJuke to manage the MP3s. Basically, all files are on disc, but the data is stored in a database. Tools included for scanning various file directories. If you want access, email me and I’ll send you a password.
The only bad thing is that the fan on the server currently sounds like a jet turbine, which may be a problem seeing as how this will be Kate and mine’s temporary bedroom while her mom visits.
