Do you think it is worth writing an article / blog on how you have used a particular feature (in SQL Server) to help you in your day to day operations even though it is not a new concept?
Would that be interesting to read?

I'm busy writing a blog series on an ancient feature of SQL server - transactions. A concept that's old hat to you may be brand new to someone else.

Very true! I will start now.

I think it's a great idea. People can become set in their ways and get comfortable in how they do things. There's also always going to be people starting their career and everything is new to them.

I've finally started my Database Building 101 series. The first article is finished and ready for publication. The second I need to finish (and plan to finish this week, Steve. Promise.) but work got in the way.
Old concept. But there are plenty of people who have never actually designed a database. I figure you all can make fun of me for making things too simplistic. @=)

Yesterday I managed to get the Toshiba cloned, and last night the Lenovo got recloned. After I get off work, I'm going to replace the drive on the Lenovo and see if I have a dual-boot machine or not.
GRRR. I have my Windows 10 Pro 64 bit working now. But unfortunately, I can't get the Windows 7 Pro 32 bit to boot. It's coming up with a blue screen of death for like 2 seconds (hard to read it when it goes away so fast) and then goes back to the dual boot screen.
I can plug the SSD into my Toshiba and get it to boot into the Win 7. But I can't get it to boot on the Lenovo. @=(
At risk of imploding The Thread with a technical question, or getting targeted by the pork chop launcher... Took a picture of the error. Any thoughts?
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x80786A58, 0xC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000) --This bit is a little hard to read. I can't enlarge the picture without losing the resolution.

My desktop's decided to pack up and die. This morning I unlocked the computer to find that all drives except the boot drive were missing from Windows Explorer. Each time I reboot the BIOS detects different combinations of the three SATA drives I have.
Either all my SATA cables broke at the same time, or the motherboard's on its way out. The drives themselves don't seem to be the problem.
It just has to work for another week and a bit, the replacement parts will be here when I get back from Summit.

YIKES!
That's kind of why I'm moving off the Toshiba and onto the Lenovo. I saw the signs of failure coming and wanted to get ahead of the curve. My fingers are crossed for you.

So to confirm something I think I'm reading into this: The Win7 was the OS on the Toshiba, you cloned that to the new drive, which is in a Lenovo?
If so, you *might* be able to run the "Repair Windows" and get it going, from the Win7OS media. Not sure how well, or if at all, that will work in a dual-boot system though. Most likely the cause of the failure is the rather massive change in the underlying hardware is now giving Win7 fits. New disk controllers, new processor architecture, new chipset, etc. You could also try when you boot to Win7 getting it to Safe Mode (MS directions to get there here), and try to get it to detect new hardware. IIRC, with WinXP / 98 there was another trick for the sort of move it sounds like you did, once you got to Safe Mode you'd remove just about everything from Device Manager to force Windows to either load the correct drivers, or the default drivers. Not sure if that will work with Win7...

Worst case I can manage with combo of laptop and iPad for the next week, just won't be as easy as the desktop is. Everything of value was copied off ages ago.

Yes, you're reading this correctly.
My biggest issue is that my Windows 7 machine is an upgrade from Vista Business, which means I don't have the original ISO for Windows 7 Pro (Just an upgrade disk) with which to make a proper bootable recovery disk. I tried to download the image from Microsoft, but my product key only gave me options for French or Korean language downloads. I don't understand why since my product key is for an English language edition.
My next plan is to get a portable DVD player to copy the DVD system repair disk to a USB and hope I can use that to repair the Win 7 install. If that fails, I may call Microsoft and whine at them.

Well done, Gail. That statement says it all. It won't help with the time required to set up a new desktop, but it's got to be comforting to know you already have everything of value. I try to do the same, but I'm usually behind a little.
