Transtec 5012

I just got a Transtec 5012 for free. After installing a server for a customer he ask if I would like to have his Transtec 5012 including 12 disks of 250gb. And I said yes.

The Transtec 5012 is a 5 year old 12 disk pata array that needs to be connected to a scsi control of a computer. I also got the scsi controller (adaptec 29160). Did a quick test and only 1 drive is failing. So this weekend I will configure it using RAID 5.

SQL Server 2005 Dev

I'm trying to install/Upgrade SQL 2005 Express to dev version. And as always with ms grrrrr.
It is taking forever giving parameter to the setup, because the setup is asking for it, isn't working.


Grrr, I hope I will be able to do some work to day.

At the bright side my computer heating problem is solve. Happy about that :)
