My PC has had trouble recently but now it won't boot into windows. I put in a new HDD and reinstalled windows but now I want to get the info off the old HDD. What linux distro can allow me to read and possibly repair my old hard drive? I've used Knoppix a while back and it was good, but is there something I can download that is much sma...
We (apparently) had poorly executed of our Solaris MySQL database engine last night. At least some of the InnoDB tables are corrupted, with timestamp out of order errors in the transaction log, and a specific error about the index being corrupted. We know about the tools available for MyISAM table repairs, but cannot find anything for I...
I deleted some records in tables which are interconnected with other tables with foreign keys, so somehow I succeded to delete some records which I would not be able to delete (FK constraint). Now I cannot delete records in main tables (to which FK refers). Anyway, I was trying to drop table, drop index, nothing helps. Is there any too...
I have created an standard MSI installer for P&D of my application which is using following components: A WCF Service hosted as Windows service. A GUI application that communicates with that service. A Shell extension Dll. Installer is working very good and without any issue. The issue occurs when user try to install application again ...
I'm writing a C# app that needs to be able to repair a set of files using par2 parity files. For C++ there is lots to be found that'll do exactly that, but for C# I can't find a native implementation. One option would be using a C++ DLL from C#, but I'd rather not do that since it's not possible to use a 32bits dll in an x64 app so I'd ...
I've been evaluating large key-value stores recently and I keep coming acrosss the term 'read-repair' but have no clue what they are talking about. I think it has something to do with transactions but am not sure. Could someone please explain what it is and how it is different from the way traditional databases work? Maybe provide some ...
I deleted manually a directory I just added, offline, in my repository. I can't restore the directory. Any attempt to do an update or a commit will fail with : "blabla/.svn" containing working copy admin area is missing. I understand why, but is there anyway to fix this. I don't want to checkout the entire repo and add my changes t...
The file format my application uses is Xml based. I just got a customer who has a botched xml file. The thing contains nearly 90,000 lines and for some reason there are about 20 "=" symbols randomly interspersed. I get an XmlException for most of them with a line number and char position which allows me to find offending chars and remov...
Until recently, my blog used mismatched character encoding settings for PHP and MySQL. I have since fixed the underlying problem, but I still have a ton of text that is filled with garbage. For instance, ï has become ï. Is there software that can use pattern recognition and statistics to automatically discover broken text and fix it? ...
Hi all, I need to compact and repair an Access 2007 .accdb database file. I know that JRO.JetEngine can do this with .mdb files, but I need to repair the newer version 2007 format by code. Any suggestions? EDIT: Here is the thing: I found that I can use the COM object library "Microsoft Office 12 Access Database Engine Object Library...
Applications I install with a VS 2k8 Installer Project MSI file check to make sure that no installed files have been deleted before the app launches and run the installer to fix this if they do. How can I turn this off so? eg so that I can include sample files with my app. EDIT: to clarify the behavior happens when starting the app v...
It didn't always do this, but ever since I split my database and made the front-end an ACCDE file, any time I try to compact and repair either file, a new file called "Database 1" is generated and my original file size doesn't change. Is this normal? My ACCDB is roughly 20MB, and my ACCDE is just over 1M after being used the first time...
Hi, I have a web setup project that creates an MSI. After first installation, my web site has some config files that can be modify manually. When triggering that MSI again, I am offered to repair the installation, when I select to do so, the installation runs, but the config files that were modified previously are no replaced with def...
Seems that my VS2008 help index has finally become FUBAR. It's already a known issue that after installing SQL Books Online 2008 SP1 a lot of inter-topic links break down, but this is even worse. When index entries start pointing to completely unrelated topics and things like "System.Collections.IList namespace" appear - then you know yo...
Hey folks, i created a web setup project in vs 2008 and added some custom actions. While installing i get the default forms (apppool, appname, website), some pre-defined custom forms and some selfmade custom forms. Now while installation i add some data in the registry. I have only one problem: TARGETSITE property. This property is fil...
Hi all, I have changed the wix tutorial codes from here http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ to make my own installer. There is no problem when I run the installer to setup my application. But when I run the the installer again, a window jumped out said "Another version of this prodcut is already installed..." But in the sample, there s...

This isn't strictly about programming, more about being a programmer, so I'm sorry if its not the right kind of question to ask on this forum (mod, please delete if it isn't) I'm a computer tech in the US Army, and once I'm out I'll have eight years on the job. I'm about to start a degree through an online school (the only way I can get...

So optimizing the wordpress database too can speed up your site. For optimiz...
