I think we're diverging of the subject, but you can pxe boot msdos and freedos images using the memdisk loader. LABEL MSDOS_MEMDISK MENU LABEL MSDOS kernel pxelinux.cfg/memdisk append initrd=dos/msdos71.img --edit-- fixed the swypo. hmm, PXE boot? this never occurred to me as i have never booted th...

thanks for the link, haven't tried that but it looks like those new versions could make it work.
i might upgrade to debian jessie first - a testing release and see if it is has new enough packages.

Hey guys, I'll share with you some details about my struggle with the Gigabyte J1900 board GA-J1900N-D3V I bought couple of days ago. 1. I managed to start it after trying the third ram stick that finally worked. Apparently 1.5V ddr3 is not the way to go. With bad RAM the machine just keeps restarti...

I don't understand some of you guys running your disks without silencing enclosures and yet wondering how to make the drives less noisy with spring mounting :) Its the first thing to do to put the disk in the best silencing enclosure you can find and than care about mounting or whatever. I am also c...

I expect my drives to be really silent. I run them in a fanless atom server/htpc with a picoPSU, the drives are the only components producing noise. Using silencing enclosure the noise gets down but is still noticable even from a distance - and I keep things inside a small rack enclosure. I believe ...

I bought the 3TB RED drive and got it today. Big disappointment. It sounds pretty noisy especially when there is activity. I cannot really test it because it is faulty. When I turn it on it is giving strange noises and it looks like it repeatedly tries to access some block, it gives this periodic so...

One caveat: The previous post gave me the impression that the poster was considering the red and green drives potentially application-equivalent except possibly for sound and price -- they are not! WD clearly states that the red drives are designed and intended for NAS on-all-the-time applications,...

Can somebody please verify the quietness of red drives comparing to green drives? WD doesn't really tout it as a feature but if they were truly quieter, they definitely should! I don't use raid and for media storage the less audible the drive the better - except money it is all that matters to me. W...
