Make two flash drives act as one drive in Windows?

Q. I have two eight gigabyte flash drives that I want to have act as one large drive. I was able to do it on both OS X and multiple Linux operating systems by creating a logical volume in LVM. Windows, on the other hand, can't read LVM volumes (even when they are formatted as NTFS), only can create spanned volumes on internal drives, and requires dynamic disks to create a RAID array. Is there anyway to make this work in Windows? Thanks!

What does it benefit one to become an atheist?
Q. Actually, Everard, I don't resent that.
Those TDs are not from me.

A. a great sense of mental clarity with the realisation that you do not have to feel guilty for being human, that there is no divine punishment for your wrong-doingd or protection from life and the people therein. bad things happen to everyone, good things happen to everyone.
with these things removed from the equasion, life is to be lived by individual assessments of what is right and what is wrong, shaped, no doubt, by past experiences, choices and the inevitable consiquences of choice and free will.
this leads to many interpretations of right and wrong. fortunately most of them work in tandem with what we have perceived as society's laws. We don't steal because it's wrong, not because we needed to read it in a book. it's taking someone else's posession and we have an empathetic reaction to such ideas, that is that we know that if such events were visited on ourselves we would feel angry, sad, negative about the whole situation... and, deep down, we all want to exist by each other's happiness.

Without the threat of a sky-man's wrath, his condesending and hypocratical misgivings, we turn to the most reliable alternative: Science, the study and discovery of everything.
you notice many theists claiming that science is incorrect, that science is a cult, that is is somehow an enemy... which includes every. single. piece. of. technology. they. own.
so, those conforming to a negative point of view against science would do well to be rid of their computer (Apple, Linux, Windows, every computer program was developped by an atheist with knowledge of complex engineering and science), their phones, their smart-phone devices, their cars, all forms of motorised combustion and electrical vehicle, all light, every form of medical science in the modern age. these and so many more discoveries are at the hands of science and, indeed, a great deal of atheists.

they like what science has given them, they do not like the questions science asks.

a final footnote on the subject, try to count technological or philosophical human developments made by the church and then compare it to anyone else. churches, bibles in different languages... that is all.

Atheism also means belonging to a large and growing number of people with a decent sense of humor (we can laugh at others and ourselves, not act like defensive and offensive tw*** like OTHERS you might read on forums such as this website), it meansyou are free to read more than one poorly written, centuries old tome of magical talking snakes, which opens up MANY more avenues for entertainment.

you also get to ask the big questions like "what if?". alternative views to atheis do not get this to its full effect; the very moment they ask this, they are stopped by a condesending thought that says "but it couldn't be because that would be outside our book's god's design."
the thing about science is that it never deals in absolutes. nothing is ever fact or fiction permanently. it is fluid and changing as humanity is. the answers we have for physics, mathemaics, everything, are answers we observed, measured and came t on our own. even our measurments are derived from the most primitive forms of science. everything, at one point or another, started as a most simplisic observation. quantum theoretical mathematics started at the earliest ages as counting your fingers and toes.
it is because of this that science is ever changing. the more we grow, the more we learn, the more we go back and alter, re-write, update the rules, expand on what we know, turning micro-cosmic changes into ripple effects that can change everything we know...

and the more we learn, the more we come to realise just how little we know about the universe in all it's infinitely vast splendor.

and it's because we know so little that we never rule things in or out as impossibilities. there might be a guiding etherial force... but because we have not obsevred and measured it we do not rule it in as a fact.
through this knowledge I have found the answer to how life should be: Lived.
to be enjoyed, especially with the people around us. in peace, prosperity, working together for greater goals, doing our utmost to cease any war and conflict, bettering ourselves in order to benefit others as well... and when we die, we will see what happens next and react accordingly.

because we just don't know. nobody does... oh, es, those religions have their books, and they tell you that theirs is the answer, not the others, "they are wrong, only we are right"... I think it's better to find out for yourself.

in about a hundred years. there is a life to be lived before we start on any of that after-life business.

Problems with backtrack 5 r2?
Q. So i have bt5 r2 in a live CD and installed in my hdd but for some reason i get an unknown error after trying to start airodump-ng or aireplay-ng or any of those commands and am not using any virtual machine. But the weirdest thing is that when i install it or run the cd on another computer it works perfectly by the way i do not have the alpha awus036h i am using the alpha awus036nh. my computer that i have a problem with is an asus the model is u56e bbl6 and the computer without the problem but same wirless card and cd is a dell inspiron

A. If and when you have any problems what so ever with Linux distributions then you go to the distributions users forums, You don't expect to get the right answers here on yahoo, do you?

Go to backtrack users forum and ask there, that's were you''ll get the right answers here is the forum web link

I want it to run just like a desktop and reconize all my hardware and play my media and files.
Also can you give instructions on what to burn it as and how to boot it?

A. I'd recommend Ubuntu. It's available at http://www.ubuntu.com/

You might also try reading http://consumer.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTI5OCwxLCxoY29uc3VtZXI= to get an idea of what it's like to use Ubuntu - it has some nice screenshots and pros and cons.

Are there any decent tutorials on making a Windows 8 live usb?
Q. I have a windows 8 consumer preview iso that I'd like to be able too boot from just like a linux live usb.

Can you use PHP and Mysql with a Linux Live CD?

Q. If you come back to Windows will all your PHP & Mysql settings gone? Do you have to reinstall everything again if you decide to use a second time the Linux Live CD?? I don't want to install Linux permanently o0n my sustem but I would like to work with the Lice CD without losing my work & setings. Is it possible?

A. Linux LiveCD's are run within the RAM of your PC so you cannot save you settings between LIVE sessions.

One possibility is having Ubuntu installed on a USB Pendrive

If my computer wont boot a linux live cd, does that mean it wont but a xp cd either?
Q. the laptop is set to boot from cd first. the linux live cd used to work but it has stopped working, does this mean this particular function wont work for other live cd's?

A. There are a lot of things that can cause a failure to boot so it depends on how far along in the process you are getting and what is causing the failure to boot. I've used knoppix as a boot cd for testing and diagnostics on hundreds of machines and it has booted on nearly every machine I've tried it on. The only failures to boot were due to not having enough ram in the computer to load the OS into memory.

However if your computer BIOS does not recognize the concept of bootable cd's then that computer won't boot from any cd. If that is the case then you might be able to add that capability with a bios upgrade.

It's also possible that the bios configuration excludes the CD from the systems search for bootable media. You may need to modify the bios to move the CD up in the boot order or use the "boot menu" (usually accessed by hitting f12 during post)

edited -- another possibility is that you have a CD drive which is not able to read a DVD. The DVD may be bootable but it can't be read by a cd drive.

Now you rule out most of these possibilities since you state that it used to work. That suggests to me that the disk has been damaged, (scratched?). The only other likely cause would be that the CD drive itself is dirty or damaged which might prevent it from reading the disk.

Have you tried other boot disks?

How to create a custom linux live CD?
Q. Hi,

I want to create a small linux live CD with a few small programs on it (and nothing more, could even be command line only)

Anyone knows how I can do that?

Thanks in advance!

A. Have a look at these web pages they should give you an idea of how to do this.

If I boot my computer from a linux live cd, how can I access the computer hdd to recover data?

Q. My computer quit, but before I reset the system, I need to get pictures, documents, and other data from it. I can boot up with a Linux Live CD, but am having trouble accessing the HDD. Any Ideas?

A. I am assuming when you say "access the HDD" you mean the files created under Windows?

If so, you can still get to them: remove the CD and it will boot up in Windows; then put the files you need on a flash drive, CD or external HDD.

Then reinsert the linux CD, boot up linux, and retrieve the files from the flash drive, etc.

Am I risking lossing my operating system by booting my laptop with a linux live cd?
Q. I have windows 7 on my laptop and it wont really start up, so im going to recover my data from it by using a linux live cd to boot it up. Is there any risk that ill lose my windows 7 in the process?

A. No. Booting Linux from a CD won't harm your windows (unless you deliberately format your hard drive and install Linux from the CD). It's a good way to recover your data, but you'll still have to fix or re-install Windows.

A. No.

Windows 7 uses NTFS file system, so a decent linux live CD should be able to read them, but not write to them. i.e, You can read the files, but you can't alter them in any way, ergo you can't really stuff them up unless you reformat.

Is it safe to watch porn using a Puppy Linux live cd?

Q. For example: boot from the live cd, surf some porn, then shut down the computer and not save the session.

The Puppy Linux live cd already has flash and everything else setup.
I'm talking about normal porn, nothing illegal.

And by safe, I was referring to my computer possibly being infected by viruses and malware.

A. I would image so. First off Linux would not be susceptible to most of the infections that those websites will give you, secondly the session would not be saved, meaning that if you do get something it will be erased when you shut down the system.

You are a clever one.

Q. Can I install the GRUB Bootloader from an Ubuntu Linux Live CD without already having Linux installed or having to install Linux?

If not, is there a way to install just the Windows Bootloader from a disk or another bootloader from a disk to my laptop?

(Its because i deleted my ubuntu install which had GRUB and now when i turn it on it just comes up with "Error 17" in grub)

A. If you don't have a linux os on your computer it may not help to install grub.
You can install the windows bootloader.
You did not say if you are using xp or vista.
The first 2 links are for xp the last link is for vista.

Am I risking lossing my operating system by booting my laptop with a linux live cd?

Q. I have windows 7 on my laptop and it wont really start up, so im going to recover my data from it by using a linux live cd to boot it up. Is there any risk that ill lose my windows 7 in the process?

A. a linux live cd wont remove your windows 7 operating system.the guy who said it would doesn't know what hes talking about.when you restart your computer and eject the cd nothing was changed as far as windows 7 still being your os.the only way a linux live cd removes windows is if you are trying to actually install linux .then of course it would remove windows and install linux.but just running a linux live cd wont damage anything.that first poster is a noob.

Q. I have windows 7 on my laptop and it wont really start up, so im going to recover my data from it by using a linux live cd to boot it up. Is there any risk that ill lose my windows 7 in the process?

A. No.

Windows 7 uses NTFS file system, so a decent linux live CD should be able to read them, but not write to them. i.e, You can read the files, but you can't alter them in any way, ergo you can't really stuff them up unless you reformat.

If I boot my computer from a linux live cd, how can I access the computer hdd to recover data?
Q. My computer quit, but before I reset the system, I need to get pictures, documents, and other data from it. I can boot up with a Linux Live CD, but am having trouble accessing the HDD. Any Ideas?

A. I am assuming when you say "access the HDD" you mean the files created under Windows?

If so, you can still get to them: remove the CD and it will boot up in Windows; then put the files you need on a flash drive, CD or external HDD.

Then reinsert the linux CD, boot up linux, and retrieve the files from the flash drive, etc.

A. No. Booting Linux from a CD won't harm your windows (unless you deliberately format your hard drive and install Linux from the CD). It's a good way to recover your data, but you'll still have to fix or re-install Windows.

Can you use PHP and Mysql with a Linux Live CD?
Q. If you come back to Windows will all your PHP & Mysql settings gone? Do you have to reinstall everything again if you decide to use a second time the Linux Live CD?? I don't want to install Linux permanently o0n my sustem but I would like to work with the Lice CD without losing my work & setings. Is it possible?

A. Linux LiveCD's are run within the RAM of your PC so you cannot save you settings between LIVE sessions.

One possibility is having Ubuntu installed on a USB Pendrive

Is it safe to watch porn using a Puppy Linux live cd?
Q. For example: boot from the live cd, surf some porn, then shut down the computer and not save the session.

The Puppy Linux live cd already has flash and everything else setup.
I'm talking about normal porn, nothing illegal.

And by safe, I was referring to my computer possibly being infected by viruses and malware.

A. I would image so. First off Linux would not be susceptible to most of the infections that those websites will give you, secondly the session would not be saved, meaning that if you do get something it will be erased when you shut down the system.

You are a clever one.

If my computer wont boot a linux live cd, does that mean it wont but a xp cd either?
Q. the laptop is set to boot from cd first. the linux live cd used to work but it has stopped working, does this mean this particular function wont work for other live cd's?

A. There are a lot of things that can cause a failure to boot so it depends on how far along in the process you are getting and what is causing the failure to boot. I've used knoppix as a boot cd for testing and diagnostics on hundreds of machines and it has booted on nearly every machine I've tried it on. The only failures to boot were due to not having enough ram in the computer to load the OS into memory.

However if your computer BIOS does not recognize the concept of bootable cd's then that computer won't boot from any cd. If that is the case then you might be able to add that capability with a bios upgrade.

It's also possible that the bios configuration excludes the CD from the systems search for bootable media. You may need to modify the bios to move the CD up in the boot order or use the "boot menu" (usually accessed by hitting f12 during post)

edited -- another possibility is that you have a CD drive which is not able to read a DVD. The DVD may be bootable but it can't be read by a cd drive.

Now you rule out most of these possibilities since you state that it used to work. That suggests to me that the disk has been damaged, (scratched?). The only other likely cause would be that the CD drive itself is dirty or damaged which might prevent it from reading the disk.

Have you tried other boot disks?
