Fixing The MBR
by Ben Mustill-Rose 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

Hey all, As the subject implies, I'm wondering if anyones found an accessible way of fixing the mbr on a xp drive? I have to fix a computer that was powered down incorrectly and I'm hoping that its just a case of the mbr becoming corrupted - its getting a no boot device message at the moment. I can fix the ntldr type errors by just replacing the files with the drive slaved to another box, but the only way I know of fixing the mbr is to run fixmbr which is meant to only be available in the recovery console. Does anyone have any creative solutions? I'm hoping that there is a way that I can run it within windows and get it to fix the slaved drive - I really don't want to have to do a reinstall. Thanks for any input and heres to hoping that it isn't a dead drive given the current prices. Cheers, Ben.

Network Admin Tools for iPhone

Is anyone familiar or experienced with any iPhone apps that will allow one to remotely perform routine network maintenance via an IOS device running VoiceOver? I need to be able to take care of basic issues like restarting servers, managing services, resetting passwords/unlocking user accounts, etc. We are running Win 2008 R2 and Win 2003 servers, SBS 2011, and Active Directory. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, and have a great day. Alex Coleman

webmail and screen readers
by David Mehler 17 Nov '11

Hello, Has anyone used either of the following webmail packages with a screen reader? Screen reader being jfw, window eyes, NVDA, system access, and open-source webmail packages being squirrelmail and roundcubemail? I'm particularly wondering about roundcubemail, but thought I'd throw the others out as well. Thanks. Dave.

webmail recommendation
by David Mehler 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

Hello, Does anyone have Linux servers running email services? If so, I'm looking for a webmail recommendation. I've got a Postfix virtual mailbox setup with a mysql backend going and want to add in a webmail component to it. The two I know of are squirrelmail, (which I believe uses php4 said on their site which is a no no for me), and roundcubemail (which is not at a 1.0 release uneasy). If anyone has any pro conn for either or recommendations for another that they're using I'd love to know about it. Thanks. Dave.

tteraterm

Hello, Is anyone using tteraterm for telnet/ssh connections to remote computers? If so, what version? I'm looking to install on another machine for a client who does not want to pay for something like SecureCRT and so was looking for tteraterm. I found the original site but that's from over 12 years ago. I've heard rumors of an updated version but came up empty in my search. If anyone has any information i'd appreciate it. Oh, this client will be using the latest snapshot of NVDA as the screen reader. Thanks. Dave.
