I found this note on Ubuntu Netbook http://blog.canonical.com/2011/03/09/ubuntu-netbook-edition-folded-into-ubuntu-for-next-release/ .

I downloaded http://ubuntulook.com/2011/03/24/ultimate-edition-2-9/ , but I probably will not install it, since it is not the latest edition of www.ubuntu.com , and the latest edition of Ubuntu that I have on a second partition on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer works just fine, but its installer does not work with IBM Symphony.

I guess I will put openSUSE Google Chrome OS on a second partition on the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop, once I have finished restoring Windows XP Professional on the first partition in about 20 minutes.  CIO

From what I can figure out, the Google Chrome OS might be derived from Ubuntu Lite, so I will install it on a second partition on the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop and configure it.  I have about 30 minutes to go on the restore process right now.  CIO

As I was walking towards the east end of the building at 71 Vinci Drive with my groceries, I had just passed a neighbor at the dumpster, and about 20 feet further east of me along the tree line was a dark cat type of animal which looked black or dark grey in the dark.  It was about 2.5 feet long with a two foot long narrow tail and about 2 feet high and looked to be about 40 pounds in weight.  I thought it might be a baby Mountain Lion, so I walked through the building, and I told the neighbor who was back inside.  I then went up to my apartment, and I called the Greenwich Police on their non emergency number at 1-203-622-8000.  I then went back outside via the front door, and I looked around with the other neighbor.  The Greenwich Police did not show up, since I guess they were busy with other matters.  I told a few neighbors and visitors about the baby mountain lion sighting.  I chatted with a relative on the LG wireless.  I put away my groceries.  I chatted with a friend and a out of town security agency.  I am worried that if it is a baby Mountain Lion, its older larger parents might be around.  CIO

The order for Handheld Finger Ring USB Touchpad Mice for PC Laptop | eBay for $19.98 with free shipping from Santa Clara, California.  I installed the Touch Pad mouse to the USB 2.0 hub.  It is very tiny made for a tiny person's hand.  It fits on my left hand pinky finger or second smallest finger.  I extended the cable.  To retract the cable, the pulley mechanism has to be centered in the length of the cable.  The cable is very thin, so one has to be careful when handling it and pulling it out of the USB port.  To make it easier to remove, I attached it to the USB 2.0 hub with the wireless USB mouse still attached to the laptop side USB port.  If one were using it in a outside location, one would have to plug it into the laptop USB port and not the hub which is more tricky to remove it from.  When in my left hand on one of my two smallest fingers, its drivers install plug and play including Google Chrome OS.  The cursor moved too fast, so I set it to the slowest speed with the operating mouse control, which is just fine.  I set it to left mouse, so the left key is the right key, which makes it easier to use the optical mouse with my right hand and press the keys with my right hand, as opposed to using my left hand while holding it.  Moving the cursor on the left key and pressing the left key is tricky.  The center key is for scrolling.  When the scrolling mode is activated, the cursor does not move, until one deactivates it by pressing another key.  It is very cleaver device for a laptop whose mouse pad does not work properly, but one has to have tiny hands and fingers.  Since it fits on one's pinky finger like a signet ring that mafia and royalty people wear, I guess it could be considered the mafia or royal pinky touch pad mouse.  I left it installed as described.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/18/11 Saturday 10:25 P.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went way out east to the center of downtown Greenwich, Connecticut, and I sat out at a few different locations observing the afternoon pedestrian traffic.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks which was busy.  There was nothing unusual to report.  I then drove down by the waterfront to Grass Island, and I chatted with two local fishermen, and they told me the water is colder, so the fishing is not very good at the moment.  I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought a 20 pound bag of Stop and Shop long grain enriched rice for $8.99, and fresh bananas for .79 a pound for $2.45, and a reduced price package of four 25 watt Sylvania torpedo light bulbs for $3.01 and .18 tax for $14.63 total.  I then returned home to the Villa De Vinci.  I put away my purchases.  I chatted with two relatives.  I chatted with a friend.  Not much seems to be happening around town.  I did see a large number of skinny young people whom seem to enjoy walking around with their lighter amount of weight.  Currently at 10 P.M., the Cable Modem is not working, so possibly there is something wrong with their system, which is par for the course around here, when the younger people get out of school, I think they mess up the internet trying to get the younger people to spend more time outside, which might be good for them, except for the fact, there might be a mountain lion in the area.  I was told by one conservationist that mountain lions like traveling in a circular pattern, so possibly it might come back into our area in a day or two.   I called up www.cablevision.com , and their recording said that the Cable Modem service would be out until 2 A.M. or later.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/18/11 Saturday 4:10 P.M.  I went outside, and I picked up the mail.  I installed the updates on the IBM ThinkCentre on the blue night stand by the desk in the living room.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go downtown to sit out for a while.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/14/11 Tuesday 6:35 P.M.  On the LG320G wireless phone, there were no instructions besides these http://www.net10.com/Common/English/Digital_Assets/14381.pdf .  I enabled the PUK Pin Security code, but when I tried to unlock it ten times, it kept asking me to enter a new PIN code.  Then it blocked the SIM card.  When I called up SafeLink, they told me that I had damaged the SIM card, when I tried my AT&T SIM card in the LG320G wireless phone.  They are sending me a new SIM card which will take three to five days.  I then have to activate it again at TracFone | Prepaid Cell Phones | Prepaid Wireless .  CIO  

Note: <888> 06/14/11 Tuesday 4:35 P.M.  I am charging up the SafeLink Wireless for five hours.  I have to enter my telephone numbers into it which will take a while, once it is charged.  One gets 260 free minutes a month.  To get the 260 free minutes every month, one has to leave it turned on the first three days of the month, for it to automatically recharge the free minutes.  One is not able to carry over one's minutes with the plan that I have.  I can not figure out how to install the PIN security code, since it asks for a PIN security code which I do not have to install a new PIN security code.  Since it is free for poor people such as people on SSI or Food Stamps, I went ahead and got it.  Registration and ordering it online is simple enough.  However, I will probably keep my AT&T Go Phone, since I have $80 left on it at 25 cents a minute.  Thus 260 free minutes divided by 4 is $65 in free air time a month on the SafeLink Wireless telephone.  However, that is only four hours and 20 minutes, so time could be used up fast.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/14/11 Tuesday 3:55 P.M.  I took the Chinese web cam off the Epox computer, and I connected up one of the Logitech C120 web cams and installed its software.  I took the older Logitech web cam off the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, and I put it back on the Dell Latitude 4100i computer along with the Chinese web cam that was already on it.  I put the other new Logitech C120 web cam on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, and I installed its software.  When installing the Logitech C120 web cams, one has to be sure to adjust the focus on the front of the web cam lens.  I went outside briefly, and I picked up the mail.  I installed the Windows Updates on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table.

Note: <888> 06/14/11 Tuesday 9:00 A.M.  I tinkered with the Ubuntu partition on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer.  It is a lot easier to install *.rpm packages with www.opensuse.org compared to Ubuntu, where one needs to know how to use Linux commands from the Terminal interface.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I cleaned the Ionic Pro air purifier.  I removed all of the old electronics boxes from the bedroom window, and I will throw them out in a little while.  I will now shower and clean up and put foot fungus cream on my feet.  Since the CVS Athlete's Foot Cream seems to have mostly healed the fungus on the palm of my right hand, I will continue to use it on the fungus spots on my feet.  I will also wear light white cotton socks with my flip flops.  I am using one pair of flip flops for inside and one pair for outside.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/13/11 Monday 2:30 P.M.  I went out after the last note.  I sat out downtown in various locations.  I checked out the central Greenwich Post Office self service center, but one can only mail a package up to 13 ounces, and my package weighed 18 ounces.  I chatted with some people at Starbucks about the Mountain Lion.  I called up a local walker.  I called up the Greenwich Hospital outpatient clinic, and they told me they opened at 8 A.M..  I went over there, and they told me I still had a medical appointment at 11 A.M. this morning.  I went back home to get my lab work paper sheet, but when I returned to the Hospital Laboratory, I remembered I had not fasted today, so I could not do the lab work.  I then went downtown, and I mailed the package with the CVS Weather Station with alkaline batteries installed to relatives in Maine for $5.55 priority mail.  I then chatted with a relative.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with a local walker, and I told him about the Mountain Lion.  It is the headlines in the printed version of the www.greenwichtime.com today.  I then went back to the Greenwich Hospital Outpatient Clinic, and I had my foot fungus checked out by two different doctors.  The told me the lamisil or CVS Athlete's Foot Medicine should have fixed it up in about a week.  They can not figure out what sort of fungus it is or whether it is contagious.  They told me to quit using the CVS Athlete's Foot Fungus and to wash my feet twice a day and to wear light cotton socks.  They told me to see the Dermatologist, but I can not get to see the Dermatologist until August 2011.   I then went to another office and made some other medical appointments, since I am not going away on vacation for the next two weeks.  I chatted with a relative who is a nurse.  The relative recommended me to wash my feet with Dial Soap.  I then went back downtown, and I went to CVS, and I bought a three pack of Dial Soap for $1.99 and .12 tax for $2.11.  I chatted with another local walker.  I then drove further downtown, and I sat out for a while.  I walked down to Zen Stationary, and I bought a Spin 3 Scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I then walked over to the Apple computer store www.apple.com , and I tested out the Ipad II.  It seems to work very well, but with all of my computer equipment I do not really need one.  I then sat out some more downtown.  I chatted with two other morning locals about the Mountain Lion.  I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a six pack of day old Kaiser rolls for $1.35, a 59 ounce container of Simply Orange orange juice with calcium for $3, buy one get one free of 11 ounce bags of Eight O'clock Hazelnut coffee for $5.69 both, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.99, fresh bananas for .79 a pound for $1.66, and broccoli crowns for $2.49 a pound for $2.84 for $17.53 total.  I then returned home.  I could not check the mail, since they are waxing the floors in the building today.  I did make it into my apartment, and I put away the groceries.  CIO  

Note: <888> 06/13/11 Monday 6:55 A.M.  I showered, and I cleaned up, and I put foot fungus cream on my foot fungus.  I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go downtown for a while and sit out.  I can either mail the package at the self service center at the central Greenwich Post Office or wait for them to open at 9 A.M..  CIO

I ordered seven Buy CVS Athlete's Foot Cream online at CVS.com for $12.99 each less 25% off with coupon code "SUMMERTOP25" for $9.74 each and free shipping with coupon code "SHIPFREE" on over $50 order total less $10 off automatically with a $50 order for $58.20 total.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/12/11 Sunday 7:25 A.M.  I made 151 Premier Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Turkish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching  www.foxnews.com  and www.cnn.com on television.  I guess with the higher price of fuel in the country, the southern people whom sometimes come up north in the summer can not afford to come up north possibly.  It is hard to tell, since there are so many people in the New York City area that come out here.  CIO    

Note: <888> 06/12/11 Sunday 4:50 A.M.  In mid January 2011, I received a late Christmas gift of a case of Honeybell oranges from Palm Beach, Florida which is about the time I developed the fungus on the palm of my right hand, so possibly the outside of the Honeybell oranges from Palm Beach, Florida had the fungus on them which eventually spread to me in the apartment.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/12/11 Sunday 4:30 A.M.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I put foot fungus cream on my fungus spots on my feet.

In my March 22, 2011 notes, I mention that I have had the rash on the palm of my right hand for over two months, and I also mention that I have the rash on my right ankle of my right foot.  Thus it safe to say I have the right hand palm rash for six months and the foot fungus problem on my feet for at least four months.

I will now make some cigarettes.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/12/11 Sunday 3:20 A.M.  I threw out the garbage in the nearby building garbage shoot.  With a Mountain Lion in the area, I will not be going outside at night even to throw out the garbage.  I picked up the mail.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/12/11 Sunday 2:45 A.M.  After the last note, I chatted with a friend twice.  I was told about this Mountain lion struck and killed by car in Milford - GreenwichTime .  From what I can tell from the news story, it was not the same Mountain Lion as the Greenwich Mountain lion.  My friend is going to a horse show today up where the Mountain Lion was spotted in Greenwich.  I chatted with another friend whom is a Conservationist, and he told me a number of years ago, New York state released Mountain Lions back into the wild in the Adirondacks area to get rid of Porcupines and Coyotes.  I chatted with another friend who told me, a lot of medical web sites are just trying to sell medicine.  I went to bed at 5:30 P.M..  I woke up at 1 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  CIO    

Note: <888> 06/11/11 Saturday 3:25 P.M.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go back to bed.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/11/11 Saturday 3:00 P.M.  I ate a ham and turkey and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll with reduced fat Pringles potato chips and a dill pickle slice and a glass of watered down punch.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/11/11 Saturday 2:10 P.M.  I rested until 1 P.M..  I chatted with two relatives and two friends.  I will not be going to Kennebunkport, Maine this Tuesday June 14, 2011, because my advanced stage of foot fungus can be very contagious, so I would risk spreading it in the relative's house up in Maine.  I called up a Doctor at the Emergency Room at the Greenwich Hospital earlier, and he told me also that it can be contagious.  He suggested that I see a Doctor next week, and look into getting the oral pills for foot fungus, although they can cause liver problems, but I have a healthy liver as far as I know.  I will keep using the Foot Fungus cream for now.  One of the suggested home remedies is not white vinegar and water, but one part red apple cider vinegar and four parts water, or a quarter of a cup of bleach in bath water.  There are a number of other suggested remedies in the web site I listed before Athlete's Foot Medication, Symptoms, Treatment, Home Remedy and Prevention by MedicineNet.com .  I have used the CVS Athlete's Foot Cream for about five weeks, and although it seems to have stopped the spread of the foot fungus, it has not gotten rid of it.  I will continue to use it.  I am using a good quantity of it twice a day on the fungus spots.  Another place I might have gotten it from besides public bathrooms, is that other people in my public housing building also have it.  We do not have hot water in our washer machines, so it might be spread through the washer machines.  I have been using a lot of bleach on my white loads of washing laundry for the last five weeks also.  Thus I will be continuing to spend more time inside, except for when I have to do errands or when it is a sunny day, I might sit outside for a couple of hours.  CIO 

Note: <888> 06/11/11 Saturday 10:25 A.M.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go back to bed.  I will eat a day old muffin first.

Note: <888> 06/11/11 Saturday 8:25 A.M.   I happen to be very clean in my apartment.  However, since I have a weak bladder, I frequently use public bathrooms downtown.  I use the public bathrooms at Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue, the Senior and the Arts Center, CVS on Greenwich Avenue, the Greenwich Library, the Stop and Shop, the Greenwich Hospital, the Greenwich Town Hall, the Greenwich Train Station, and the Thataway restaurant.  One of those places might have been the source of the Foot Fungus or Athlete's Foot that I have had on both feet and my right palm of my right hand for the last four to two months.

Note: <888> 06/10/11 Friday 4:55 A.M.  I don't seem to have any notes for August 1996.  What basically happened back then was that I was sitting downtown at about 4 A.M. in the morning by the veterans monument across the street from the senior and the arts center.  I felt a seismic vibration, so I decided to drive up by the reservoir between Lake Avenue and North street and check out the dam.  I was driving my old 1976 white four door sedan Volvo 240.  The driver's side window once it was put down would not go up without getting outside of the car and using both hands to hoist it up.  I drove up Lake Avenue, and I turned right where the left turn is for the Merritt Parkway east.  I drove along the reservoir south on the west side of it.  Opposite the reservoir dam road at the south end, I had slowed down to about five miles per hour.  I felt something very heavy jump on the roof of the Volvo possibly from the overhanging tree, and the Volvo put on a lot of weight, since I could tell, since it was a clutch driven car.  I was out there all alone in the dark by myself.  I thought about driving back into town down Lake Avenue, but I thought Westchester County Airport might be closer.  I drove down Lake Avenue and west on Clapboard Ridge Road and up Round Hill Road to west on Porkchuck road and across Riversville Road and west on Cliffdale Road.  All of the time I could feel the additional weight on the car, and the driver's side window was down and my cat allergies were activated.  As I pasted Tudor Farm on Cliffdale Road, I saw a car coming from the west entering Tudor Farm, so they would have seen whatever it was on the roof of my Volvo.  I drove down King Street and into Westchester County Airport that I knew had lights and cameras, and I drove up the Hertz Rent A Car booth at the south end of the terminal, and I asked the night person whom I knew named Garth if there was anything on the roof of the Volvo, and he said there was not.  I recall singing "Fresh from the Valley of the Jolly Green Giant" the whole way.  I then drove back down to the bench downtown about sunrise.  I did not actually see a Mountain Lion, but about 200 pounds of weight was put on the Volvo and my cat allergies were activated.  There were reports in the Greenwich Time the next few days about a bear being spotted in back country.  CIO  

Note: <888> 06/10/11 Friday 4:20 A.M.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made the bed.  I cleaned the living room air conditioner filter.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/09/11 Thursday 6:05 A.M.  I checked with a few out of town security agencies, and they just passed the buck on the Mountain Lion problem.  One agency told me that I should called the Transportation Security Administration, since the Mountain Lion was spotted near Westchester County airport.  I chatted with a friend.  Well on a night time schedule, I guess with the higher prices of fuel in this area, only the Mountain Lion is moving around anymore.

Maybe somebody from the Bronx Zoo: Saving Wildlife and Wild Places would now how to deal with the problem of a Mountain Lion.  I guess the conventional wisdom is that it might leave town sooner or later, since it might be socially ostracized by the back country equestrian elite.  CIO

One of the last few times I was in Manhattan in the daytime many years ago, I was wandering around East 57th in Manhattan, I noticed this book Amazon.com: The Penniless Billionaires (9780812909234): Max Shapiro: Books on display in the window of dunhill .  Although I never read it, I liked the sound of the title, so I figured out it would be a good theme book for Manhattan.

Note: <888> 06/06/11 Monday 4:35 A.M.  I threw out the garbage.  I sat out for a while.  It seems "All Quiet on the Western Front", before the Monday morning rush hour.  When one is on a night schedule out here in The Sticks, there is really not too much going on.  Of course, in the old days at night and the early morning hours in Manhattan, it was not too busy except on weekends.  The foreign currency traders for Citicorp could be seen having lunch in the early morning hours at the Brasserie in the basement of the Seagram's Building, and that was about all that was going on, except for a few tourists trying to burn the midnight oil.  Out here, one could sit up all night at the Glory Days diner, see what the Cat might drag in.  There is a 24 hour diner over in Tarrytown, New York, when one gets off the I-287 North exit there, and it is next to a 24 hour Shell Station.  I used to go over there, when I knew Scott Nelson from Minnesota who worked as a waiter at the Chart House in Irvington, New York, since he got off work at about midnight, he would stay up late, and I would drive him to a pub or two.  He told me the Chart House in Irvington, New York use to do catering for the Rockefellers in North Tarrytown, New York, and since he had the Rockefeller look, he might be familiar with them.  His family owned a gourmet meat company in Minnesota.  The last I heard from him about 20 years ago, he was going to go to Dental School at www.columbia.edu , and I never heard from him again.  He did not mind the cold weather here in the winter coming from Minnesota. I originally met him at a pub on West Side of Manhattan behind the Natural History Museum back in December 1983, when I first came off of Nantucket, and he was staying at a Swiss Hotel just west of the Waldorf Astoria.  I think at that time, he was returning from school in Europe.  The last time I saw him in White Plains, New York, he was hanging out with a very larger person that worked for ConEd, so possibly he was having security problems.  One of the original developers of Internet Explorer was named Scott Nelson also, but I don't think it is the same person.  He knew a lot of people, and he would frequently fly down to Virginia and Washington D.C. for various events.  He had done a gourmet cooking televison show in Key West and Nantucket, so he lived in the two other places that I also lived.  He is taller about 6 foot 3 inches, so he has a taller group of friends.  He obviously knows where I live, but he probably does not want to pay me for gasoline money to drive him around.  That was all about the time I was first getting interested in computers, so possibly he became high tech.

Note: <888> 06/06/11 Monday 2:00 A.M.  The Oregon Scientific weather station outside sending unit was not working.  I took the screen off the living room window, and I opened the window, and I removed the outside sending unit which hangs from the inside window handle on a small wire.  I put in two new CVS alkaline batteries, and I also put in four new CVS alkaline batteries in the base unit inside, since they were also worn out, and I reset both units by pressing both reset buttons with the end of a paper clip, and then I repositioned the outside unit and reinstalled the screen and closed the window.  Thus it now works properly with both inside and outside temperatures showing on the base unit.  However, with the sun shinning on it in the afternoon, it tends to be a lot hotter than it actually is outside temperature wise.  CIO

I watched the end of the movie "Titanic".

I currently weigh 220 pounds, so I have lost a few pounds.

Not much happens in Greenwich, Connecticut from my viewpoint, when I am not able to walk the whole length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area because of my foot fungus.  It is too expensive to cruise around in the Audi without any purpose.  Thus I recently am feeling like a Prisoner of Zinda in my own personal Internet Wasteland.  However, a writer is suppose to write from their own experience.  I can not afford to visit nearby Manhattan to see what the local Indians are doing.  At age 61, I probably should not go to the local hangouts that I once frequented over 20 years ago, and I don't even know if they are still there.  However, it would be a lot of walking which would be out of the question.  I have walked a lot in my life, and the recent foot fungus is the first time I have ever gotten it.  I have no idea where it came from, but I did wear my leather fleece lined house slippers inside all winter to keep my feet warm, so possibly they also got a bit damp.  With the foot fungus, I have just been wearing white cotton socks inside.  The CVS and Walgreen's in eastern Greenwich at the I-95 Exit in Riverside are open 24 hours, but that would be about $5 in gasoline round trip to drive there and back, so it is not worth spending all of that money just to hang out and do nothing at this hour of the morning.  Downtown Greenwich Avenue is not too busy on weekends either in the early morning hours.  I suppose with the higher prices of gasoline here Greenwich Gas Prices – Find Greenwich, Connecticut Gas Stations and Cheap Gas in CT at Automobile Magazine , most people are spending more time at home.  It is a little bit cheaper in California Malibu Gas Prices - Find the Lowest Gas Prices in Malibu, California .  A lot cheaper in Houston, Texas Houston Gas Prices - Find Cheap Gas Prices in TexasGas Prices CNN/Money: Global gas prices GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada .

On Tuesday, when I was at the Greenwich Town Hall, I chatted with a contractor from Stratford, Connecticut that just finished building a state of the art high tech building for the new high tech university in Northern Saudi Arabia.  With his profits, he had bought a solar powered house in Pennsylvania for a hundred thousand dollars.  CIO

Note: <888> 06/03/11 Friday 2:35 A.M.  On the primary work computer, I installed PCI SATA 4 PORT CONTROLLER NON RAID CARD WORK WINDOWS 7 | eBay that I bought last Christmas 2010.  It boots up, but in the CMOS boot, I do not do anything with the RAID option.  When Windows 7 boots up, it installed the drivers for it plug and play.  I tried to install my SATA Western Digital Passport 500GB external hard drive to the 7 port USB 2.0 hub, but it was not recognized, however when I plugged it directly into the motherboard USB 2.0 hub it was recognized, because I guess it had more power.  Thus with the SATA controller from the PCI SATA card, the external USB 2.0 SATA hard drive works, which it did not without the PCI SATA controller.  I did have to run a quick error check on the SATA external hard drive, to get it to be recognized by the Windows 7 Complete PC backup program.  I then backed up both Vista and Windows 7 Ultimate partitions to it without any problem.  When I tried booting the Windows 7 DVD to do a Complete PC Restore, the external SATA hard drive was recognized, so it is useable for backing up the entire system.  Thus if one is running an older motherboard without SATA support, that is an easy option to get it to work with a SATA external hard drive for backup.

Note: <888> 06/02/11 Thursday 7:05 P.M.  If one needs to go a low level format on a hard drive to remove a boot sector virus, one can boot the Seagate SeaTools SeaTools for DOS | Seagate and run the Utility to write zeros and after it has done about 1% of the hard drive, it should be removed.  Also that is the only way I know to remove the Linux partitions in Chrome OS and OpenSUSE, where one can run the quick low level format procedure.  Of course doing the low level format on the hard drive will remove any other operating system like Windows also, so one will have to reinstall and restore one's configuration from a separate backup, if one has one.  CIO
