Kensington, Londres Guia de Viagem
Kensington Resumo
- A historic, upscale area
- Numerous top-notch restaurants and shops
- Many museums, including V&A Museum, Natural History Museum, and the Science Museum
- Beautiful Holland Park
- Kensington Royal Gardens
- Nice shopping on High Street
- Near Notting Hill and Chelsea
- An expensive area
What It's Like
An upscale neighborhood to the west of Hyde Park, Kensington has been home to wealthy families since King William III built Kensington Palace as his country home in 1689. Numerous historic homes from the 17th century remain today, and the area maintains it's old-time charm, particularly along "Billionaire's Row," where the streets are still lined by gas lamps.
Many visitors to London stay in Kensington due to it's plethora of top-notch restaurants, shops, and museums. The Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum, and the Museum of Natural History are all clustered together, and sites such as Royal Albert Hall, a concert hall, and the Kensington Royal Gardens, are in the same area. High-end shopping can be found along High Street, but those looking for a bargain may want to check out Portobello Road's famous market in nearby Notting Hill.
Where to Stay
There are many hotels in Kensington, but most are pricey. Good deals can be found, however, especially by those who book far in advance. The majority of the museums in the area are clustered in South Kensington, while staying in the northern region puts visitors close to Notting Hill. Chelsea is towards the southeast.

Am I correct that your E:\ drive is your system drive? Is this a dual-boot system?
It sounds like your OS is loosing the Path for the Assets, and this is definitely something that should be addressed as you might be risking loosing a lot more than links to your Assets.
Can you give us a full layout and specs. on your computer, especially details on each HDD and how you have them allocated. Probably something there.
Good luck,
2. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesColin-B May 2, 2010 2:42 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)
Thanks Bill, yes it is dual boot .
It is an Acer laptop with a single hard drive. Vista is installed on the C partition. The D partition contains all of my general data and video files. Partition E was the first free partition so I installed Windows 7 there. Premiere Elements is installed into Windows 7 (partition E). Vista and Windows 7 work fine in dual boot as you would expect. It only seems to be Premiere Elements that has this odd behaviour.
Here is the partition layout of the hard drive:
C: Vista - size72.7GB
D: size 46.9GB
E: Windows 7 - size 19.5GB
F: size 9.87GB
If I copy a video file onto my C drive then Premiere Elements seems to be happy with this - all parts of the program seem to get the drive letter correct as C. Files on drive D seem initially to be imported correctly but then the organiser parts of the program seem to think they are on drive F.
3. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesnealeh May 2, 2010 3:13 PM (in response to Colin-B)
With a standard dual-boot system drive letters will change depending on which partition you boot from. Thus if you boot Vista the Vista partition will show as drive C: and if you boot W7 then it's partition will show as drive C:
Naturally then, as you boot into a particular O/S, drive letter assignments are being changed. I wonder if these drive letter assignments are being inconsistent and, consequently, confusing PRE. It may be worth your while repartitioning your drive to have Vista and W7 installed in the first two partitions, leaving your general data and video in the last partition. Then your O/S partitions should just switch with each other (active O/s labelled as C:, inactive as D:). Having two physical drives I don't have a problem as my data are all installed onto the second drive that always has the same letter assignment (I:) regardless of which O/S I boot into. Here is my layout:
The key feature on my disk 1 partition is that 'User_Apps' will always be assigned E:, regardless of whether I boot Vista or W7. Hope this is helpful.

4. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesColin-B May 2, 2010 3:19 PM (in response to Colin-B)
... and bit more info.
I've just tried copying a video file to my E and F drives to see what would happen if I tried to import files from those two drives.
For the file on drive E, the organiser seemed to think it was on drive F
For the file on drive F, the organiser correctly thought it was on drive F
However I noticed when importing the file that was really on the F drive using "Get Media->PC Files and Folders", the "Add Media" dailog box appears with the list of "All supported files" OK. But when I click on the file I wanted to import, the list of files flickers and most of them disappear - only about 6 arbitrary files remain listed. Then pressing the up or down cursor key to move up or down the list causes one file to disappear with each keypress from the remaining list. In fact the first press seems to leave 1 file listed twice! I had to change the filter to "All files" to get the complete list of files back.
I think this problem with the "Add media" dialog box is caused by Premiere Elements' hook into the dialog which is doing the selection of supported files for the list. Maybe this is getting the drive letter screwed up too and being unable to interrogate the files, and they are therefore just being removed from the list.
I may be wrong but this looks like Premiere Elements has a serious bug in its drive or folder parsing.

My laptop only has 1 physical hard drive, and when booted into Windows 7 the drive letter is E and not C. This is what the drive letters look like when booted into Windows 7
and they are the same in Vista and Windows 7.
Even if the letters *were* different between Vista and W7, Premiere Elements is only installed in Windows 7 so there should be no issue about drive letters changing and confusing PE.
Unfortunately, it isn't really practical to move all of the data around and repartition my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 in the hope that it will work on drive D to work around what looks like a Premeier Elements bug. If I have to, I may just have to install PE into Vista instead, but I was hoping to gradually migrate to Windows 7.
6. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesthe_wine_snob May 2, 2010 4:30 PM (in response to Colin-B)
Wow, that is not a scheme that will lend itself to video editing for several reasons.
First, with a partitioned HDD, the OS (whichever one you boot to), will think it is dealing with multiple, physical HDD's, when it is not. The OS will expect reads/writes will be much quicker, than they can be. One of the first laws of physics is that an object can be in only one place at one time - think the heads of your single, partitioned HDD. It can ONLY be over one spot in the platters at any time, but if you have 4 partitions, the OS will expect it to be in 4 places at the same time.
The partitions also cause undue wear and tear on the HDD.
Then, there is the problem that Neale points up. If you boot from another HDD (partition in your case), it will treat the other HDD's (or partitions) differently, assigning different drive letters.
I'd think strongly about adding an additional HDD, if at all possible. Most laptops only allow for 1 physical HDD, and a few will allow for 2. At least one allows for 3, and that is what sold me on the Sagers.
I think that you will likely have issues with your setup, but I do wish you good luck,

Odd. As you will see from my earlier image both OS partitions are on the same drive. Which did you install first - Vista or W7?

8. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesColin-B May 3, 2010 3:17 AM (in response to nealeh)
Hi Neale. Vista was installed first ages ago. Then Windows 7 recently. I also have an old desktop machine which isn't used much now but has two installations of Windows 2000 - one on the C drive and the other on (coincidentally) the E drive (C, D and E are on the same physical hard drive). The C and E drives are consistent no matter which of the two W2Ks I am booted into. That machine also has 2 other physical hard drives and the drive letterson those drives does differ depending on which OS I am booted into - but the C D and E are always the same.
I'm a bit hazy about this, but from what I can recall the primary partitions are assigned letters first, then other partitions are assigned letters after that.
Thanks for your comments too Bill. I understand the issues about having video files on a separate physical hard drive. At present I'm only using the laptop for some light testing so it won't be a workhorse video editing machine.
Whatever the performance issues, it seems clear that this is a Premiere Elements bug. It should not matter what partition Windows is installed on, the apps should be aware of the drive letter of the system drive.
I will report it as a bug, but as I can't use it in my Windows 7, I will just have to install it again into Vista and hope for the best.
Thanks again for your comments everyone.
9. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesnealeh May 3, 2010 3:36 AM (in response to Colin-B)
It might be worth going into disk management and assigning new drive letters to the partitions. Then put them back to what they should be. It might be that some obscure system setting may be corrected by doing this. Other than that I'm fresh out of ideas - sorry I can't be more help.

10. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesColin-B May 4, 2010 9:15 AM (in response to nealeh)
Ok, so now I've just installed PE8.0.1 on my C drive (Vista). All seemed to be OK - the files on my D drive are correctly identified as on the D drive.
But I just tried Add Media-ing a file on my F drive - and guess what? It thinks it is on the D drive!
I wonder if PE is reading the drive letter and just storing it as an offset above the next lowest partition letter that is a primary partition. Then when reconstituting the drive letter is it interpreting the offset above the CURRENT system drive letter. Thus when I was booted into Windows 7 on E, files on my D drive were 1 drive letter above the next lowest system drive C - this could translate to the incorrect drive letter F. And now I am using Vista, files on my drive F are 1 drive letter above the next lowest system drive E - this could translate to the incorrect drive letter D. But this all just guess work from the bizzare behaviour of PE.
I have lots of software loaded onto my Vista C partition and none of it behaves like this.
I have raised a bug report with Adobe and pointed it at this thread.
11. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesalexander_behring Aug 2, 2010 5:53 AM (in response to Colin-B)
Hi Colin, hi all,
I'm relieved to have found this discussion, because I'm having the exact same problems! Here's my misery:
I'm running Windows7 64bit and use a 1TB WD harddrive partitioned into C and D. No dual boot, no changing drive letter assignments for those partitions. Photoshop Elements 8 was just recently installed onto C. My pictures reside in d:\Shares\Media\Bilder (yes, I'm German ). I have NO network drives connected (this might be an important information, see below).
Now, when I try to add photos via the File --> Add Photos/Videos --> from files and folders (In German Datei --> Fotos und Videos laden --> Aus Dateien und Ordnern) I encounter the same "item disappearing problem" as Colin did. In the dialog, I click on my computer --> d drive and as soon as I click in the list of files and folders, some of the items magically disappear. Not good.
For the "magically changing drive letter", I have a different story with the same end. When I add my images without any additional drive letters other than C and D, everything is fine. The thumbs (also after restarting PSE) are linked to the correct path. But when I substitute a drive letter for a path (I need this for other software installed) using the dos command: "subst G: D:\Shares\B+A" and start PSE, suddenly all thumbs are linked to G:\Shares\Media ... When I add another subst (let's say M), then PSE thinks all images reside on M....
My thought about this: I thing PSE (and premiere, as Colin has his problems with this) uses some strange internal way of enumerating HDDs. Maybe even an non-deterministic way - I read in the internet that you don't want the images to reside on network drives. Maybe this check is messing it all up?
I really love your software guys, but this is seriously dangerous. It cost me days to figure out my workaround (don't use that specific import function, close all other programs and undo all drive substs before starting PSE). Please fix it!!!
12. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesalexander_behring Aug 2, 2010 6:44 AM (in response to alexander_behring)
Little update: it seems the problem is the dirve serial number (volume id). In PS6, there was such a problem already: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404560.html. It would be great to have it fixed anyway, because just saying "unmount" the virtual drive (substituted drive letter ...) is NOT a solution and will not work for me.
13. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesthe_wine_snob Aug 2, 2010 7:10 AM (in response to alexander_behring)
Partitioning a HDD is not a good idea for video editing. Besides the drive S/N issue, this ARTICLE will give you a bit more background.
Good luck,
PS - thanks for your link to that Adobe KB Article, and I have added that to the above linked article. That was a possibility that I had not considered.
14. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesColin-B Aug 2, 2010 9:51 AM (in response to the_wine_snob)
Thanks for the link that article.
Come on Adobe, this is barmy. I have to merge all of the partitions on my laptop into 1 ? This just isn't reasonable and I've never encountered any other software with this requirement. Please fix it.
15. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesthe_wine_snob Aug 2, 2010 9:53 AM (in response to Colin-B)
This is not really an Adobe issue, but an I/O and OS issue. Adobe has no control over how the OS identifies the HDD's.
Partitions will slow down any NLE, that uses the partitions.
Good luck,
16. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesColin-B Aug 2, 2010 10:13 AM (in response to the_wine_snob)
I'm willing to accept slowing down of the system as I'm using my laptop for light testing.
If I understand the article correctly, and if it is the same reason for the problem I'm seeing, the affected software stores the pathname and volumeid of each file, but NOT a partition letter/identifier. I find it difficut to believe that I can't use PE on a partitioned laptop. I still think there is a problem here with PE that needs fixing. The solution being to merge all the partitions isn't reasonable. I can't really be expected to reformat my whole laptop and lose dual boot etc just to get one application to work properly.

Thanks for the discussion guys.
As Colin, I do think that both (we are talking about two thingings here!) "features" are to be reported as bugs. I will do this now. These two appear in Premiere AND PSE - I will report them for PSE only and write into the report that they are relevant for Premiere, as well.
19. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesnealeh Aug 2, 2010 3:59 PM (in response to Colin-B)
Re-visiting old ground but, although using PRE7, I am doing exactly what you are trying to do (see my responses at 3, 7 & 9 in this discussion). Did you try to re-assign the drive letters in Disk Management (post 9)?
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
20. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesalexander_behring Aug 3, 2010 12:43 AM (in response to nealeh)
Hi Neale,
actually, you cannot assign new drive letters to substituted drives via disk management. They just don't show up there. The core of the problem lies not in the OS - it is working beautifully. The problem is that Adobe remembers the volume IDs (serial numbers of the HDDs). And these are the same for the i) original drives and ii) all drives that actually are just paths on the original drives. This way (my config) Adobe sees drives D, G, M and W as one drive. Adobe then just takes the last one encountered with the same volume ID (in this case W).
But thanks for the hint. I hope the programmers find en efficient way to resolve this bug.

Thanks Bill, I reported it as a bug in early May (mentioned earlier in this thread) and pointed it at this thread. No response from Adobe (yet).
I did try reassigning the drive letters but it didn't help. The problem seems to be that Adobe are ignoring drive letters/partitioning.
22. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesthe_wine_snob Aug 3, 2010 8:07 AM (in response to alexander_behring)
Many programs use the HDD's ID number for location.
As there are very few reasons for doing partitions nowadays, my suggestion is to eliminate those, and just add physical HDD's. There are many bottlenecks created by using partitions.
OS's have been able to see large volumes for over a decade now, so the need to partition has all but disappeared, and performance will be enhanced with additional physical HDD's.
Good luck,
23. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesColin-B Aug 3, 2010 9:51 AM (in response to the_wine_snob)
I agree that given a system for serious video editing separate hard drives are preferable.
But in my case I want to use my laptop for some light testing. The built-in hard drive is way big enough to hold all of my data files and 2 versions of windows and I want to be able to carry all this around without a separate hard drive. In this case there is a need to have separate partitions - for dual boot and also to keep my data files separate from the windows partitions (always a good idea). Everything has always worked flawlessly in this regard EXCEPT for Adobe PE. All software I've ever used is drive-letter/partition aware and just works - I can't undestand why Adobe would effectively depart from this model. Maybe Adobe think that I've no business trying to use PE on a partitioned system but it seems an unreasonable restriction which I didn't see mentioned in the sales blurb.
Anyway, I'm starting to rant so I'll go and have a short lie down.
24. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesthe_wine_snob Aug 3, 2010 10:23 AM (in response to Colin-B)
I do the same thing with my laptop. One of the criteria that I sought was a 3x physical HDD setup, just to allow for video editing.
Now, I do use FW-800 externals, but mostly for large Projects, especially if I will be migrating those to the workstation for final editing. I understand not wanting to lug a ton of peripherals about.
Good luck,

Mr. Hunt
Your arguments about partitioning harddrives are close to BS. These days, when 2GB drives are available, it would be insane to leave it in one huge partition, the number of the files in it can be horrible. Not everybody use their computer just for video editing where files are huge instead of the number of them.
This problem mentioned in this thread is driving me crazy. How it is possible for a modern program not understand drive letters correctly? I have found older discussions about that, the bug was in older version as well.
Seems to me that adobes programmers are either blind for them errors, or they don't get these informative writings about these bugs.

Can you cite some studies to support your assertions? I have never seen any, and doubt that you can provide any.
Can you point out where my statements are incorrect?
As this is a forum for a video editing program, it should be assumed that the users will, in fact, be doing video editing. Any reference to other programs and their HDD usage are completely moot here. Take those comments to a forum on other programs, as they do not apply in a video editing forum.
With regard to video editing, it would be absolute insanity to partition to smaller logical disks. What would be gained? Absolutely zero, except a slowdown in doing reads/writes and a lot more mechanical work for the heads. If you wish to create a slowdown on your system, and cause more mechanical work, that is your choice. Now, I cannot imagine why one would want these problems, but maybe they enjoy replacing worn-out HDD's, and waiting for read/writes?
This problem mentioned in this thread is driving me crazy. How it is possible for a modern program not understand drive letters correctly? I have found older discussions about that, the bug was in older version as well.
Hey, you're the expert. Why don't you figure this one out for yourself?
Seems to me that adobes programmers are either blind for them errors, or they don't get these informative writings about these bugs.
This is something that you need to take up with Adobe and with the programmers. We are but users here, and have zero control over how Adobe writes its code. This ARTICLE will get you started.
As mentioned above - we are all users, and not Adobe programmers. I would suggest that when you do contact Adobe, you not imply that their programmers are fools, as you have alluded to in my case. I doubt that you will get much of a response.
As I am smart enough to NOT partition my HDD's, I do not see anything listed as a Bug. Only people, who create a problem for themselves will likely do so. It is rather like someone demanding that their HDD's be formatted to FAT-32, and then complaining that the file sizes are over ~ 4GB, and calling that a Bug. One is likely not to get much sympathy, at least not on this forum.
Good luck,

Oops, little mistake in my last posst, ment to say 2TB instead of 2GB, but I guess nobody noticed that.
It's a bug.
If I create a new project on my E-drive, it does it right there. But if I want to add videoclip from E-drive to my new project, it lost the track for the path, and tries to find it from drive D?
That can't be right?
When I close the program and open recent the project from drive E, where I created it, it is there and can be openede correctly, but clips... it still have no way to find them from the same folder if it is on drive E.
By the way, are you saying that you have big HDD where you your OS is installed, and the same partition is used for everything else as well?
I have 1TB drive 0, 100GB is for Windows 7, rest of it is for anything else. Then there's two other 1TB drives, one is completely for my works, other one is for fun and temporary actions.
Now, I must say that I don't know you, or your history and knowhow level, at all. You probably have many good arguments, and you probably know your editing software way better than I do, but bug is bug is bug...
This one is definitely a bug in software until this statement is proven wrong and the function is justified.
28. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesTheGaryP Aug 28, 2010 1:27 PM (in response to Colin-B)
Little addition here:
My OS is Windows 7 64-bit.
HDD 0 is partitioned 100GB for C:, rest of it for E:. Because of the history with my documents (links in old coding), I have HDD1 for works as D: HDD 2 is one big F:.
Ok, I have also big partitions LOL, but why E: wants to turn to D: in Premiere Elements 8? Why such mixing with drive letters?

In my case, I have a 500GB C:\ with OS and programs. I do not need that large a system drive. Speed is also more important here. I could probably easily get by with a 250GB, but as PrPro CS5 now writes some files to C:\, the extra, unused space will likely provide me with a good deal of buffer space, when I upgrade.
Then, I have 8 1TB SATA II HDD's for my Projects, my still & video media, my audio, my Scratch Disks and my Export files. My stock Assets are stored on multiple externals, or on my NAS, but I do not work to/from those, and just Copy the necessary Assets to my Project's folder structure.
There is one exception - when I need to migrate my Projects between computers, I will put everything on a 2TB FW-800 external - the Project, the Assets, the Scratch Disks, everything. Each of these has a specific drive letter assignment in the OS of each computer. That means that when I plug in Z:\ to the workstation it will show as Z:\. When plugged into the smaller workstation, it's always Z:\. When plugged into the laptop, same thing. It is always seen as Z:\. Same for drive W:\ and so on. While not the most efficient use of HDD's (everything in the Project on one), it does allow me to move the Project completely amongst several machines.
The ultimate setup would be something like this, and only counting physical (not logical) HDD's:
C:\ OS and programs, with possibly the Page File (I found that the best performance was with that placed on my D:\) Disk0
D:\ Projects and Scratch Disks Disk1
E:\ Hardware RAID for Video & stills disk 2
F:\ Hardware RAID for Audio Disk 3
G:\ Hardware RAID for Exports Disk 4
H:\ Commonly used Assets, Documents, and other files Disk 5
I:\ BD burner
J:\ DVD multi-drive burner
And, by "hardware RAID" I am talking about a dedicated hardware RAID controller, and not software, or MoBo chips). The RAID configuration will depend on whether one wants ultimate speed, or redundancy, or a combo of each, and the RAID controller card and the total number of HDD's in the RAID.
Obviously, this is for Video editing, as many other programs would likely not benefit from the RAID's, at least not enough to justify the expense.

Heh, that was quite combination. I've been working with servers for 15 years, I really appreciate nice set of RAID. I only wish I could have such in my home, but as long as nobody pays for my work with videos, no reason to invest.
Sorry, one more offtopic.
On Pinnacle-forum, there's not a really good advice for combination of hard drives for most efficient video editing, is there any advice for Premiere users? Best (or reasonable) known combination?
I have just started to use PE8 instead of Pinnacle Studio 14, support for that (PS14) is totally low level.
My friend has been working with PE8 for, well, not a long time yet (1 year maybe), but he knows how to turn suspicious mind. I really feel this could work, after PE8 just agrees where I want to keep my data.
I had PE8 installed on my older machine month ago, different set of disks, C and D were on the same disk. Everything went as smoothly as the slow machine just did the work, no problems. Now, new machine, totally new install with everything... and now this... IT sucks sometimes.
Well, I try to find a way over this little annoyance. Thanks!

I highly recommend Harm Millaard's ARTICLE on HDD setup for video editing.
For general hardware discussion, he does a multi-level set of systems in this ARTICLE.
For consideration on RAID for video editing, this ARTICLE has some great tips.
Besides being a builder of exotic editing machines, he is a power-user of PrPro and one of Adobe's best beta testers for PrPro. So, he not only builds them, but uses them in some heavy-duty editing.
Going back many, many years, I used Pinnacle Studio, and was never happy, until 9.4.3. That was a good, stable version. I moved to Studio 10, and immediately to AVID Liquid, not being happy with either of those. It was then that I went to PrPro, and have never looked back. I added PrE as a tool for certain consumer formats, but still use PrPro much more. From my old Pinnacle days, I only miss one feature - the special way that it handled SmartSound pieces. Even now, PrPro (and PrE) has one limitation with SmartSound. If you create the piece to a certain Duration, changing that Duration is not an easy task. One can do it, but it takes either the Time Stretch, or hand-work. In Pinnacle Studio, you just grab the Tail and adjust it as you want, and it re-composes the entire Clip to exactly what you need - neat! Have not seen Studio in years, so do not know what changes might have been made.
Going back to the Studio 7, 8 and 9 days, that forum was really pretty good. I spent a fair amount of time there. Doubt that many of the folk who I knew are still about.
One of the things that I did like there was that posters were encouraged to list their system specs. in their Profile. Only problem is that one did not have much room for details, and some people, such as me, have multiple computers and sometimes a post applies to just one particular computer. Still, for many issues, it allowed respondents to see what hardware and what OS the poster had - if they just filled in the details.
On the Muvipix fora, many post machine specs. in their sig. That site's forum is a great resource too. While many subscribers use Adobe software, all do not, so one sees other programs. Also, there is more general video shooting, audio and authoring discussions, so everything is not just working with one particular NLE.
Good luck,
34. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesTheGaryP Aug 29, 2010 12:55 AM (in response to Colin-B)
Thanks! Really!
I have to take a closer look to those articles, if there's possibly something fundamentaly wrong with my disk organization. I hope not, but you never know.
35. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesthe_wine_snob Aug 29, 2010 7:57 AM (in response to TheGaryP)
I hope that with a few I/O tweaks, things will all fall into place, and you will soon be editing happily.
With the I/O, I try to keep things very simple. Some might argue that say adding a hardware RAID for media, Export, etc. is not "simple," but in my eyes, it is Also, over the years and over the systems, I have done about the same setup. Yes, the HDD's controllers improved, the speed and size of the disks increased, and I went from 2x physical HDD's many years ago to my present configuration. On the next system, I will probably add 2x RAID 50 for some files, but the general philosophy has remained the same - physically separate as many I/O functions, as is possible. I try to separate these by physical HDD's, and also by controller, if possible. The RAID 50's will be managed by dedicated hardware w/ on-board RAM, and will take more of the load off the SATA controllers, plus provide a much larger (faster) pipeline for certain aspects of video editing, like access to the media, and Export.
Maybe it's because I have a simple mind, but I do find that simple is better.
Good luck, and please let us know how things go,

The Adobe Premiere is buggy. Probably because they hire an all Indian crew. They get what they paid for.
The drive letter error has nothing to do with disk partition. I don't have any disk partition. I have my Seagate 2 TB drive on letter H:, but when I drag and drop the files to Adobe Premiere Elements 7, it shows them as drive I:. How they figure that only the Indians at Adobe would know.
The Adobe Premiere has been one disappointment after another. First they got a worthless error message when you install McAfee, then they mis-assign drive letters. But the worst part is there is Customer No-Support.
37. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesthe_wine_snob Sep 6, 2010 5:40 PM (in response to wu1821)
OK, seems that you have no partitions, so let's move on.
Is you Seagate 2TB HDD (H:\) internal, or external?
If it is external, what is the connection type and also what is the OS's assigned driver letter?
In Disk Manager, what is the drive number of H:\?
What is the ID of this HDD?
What does Disk Manager say about that drive?
Is there also an I:\ drive on your system?
If there is an I:\, what is it's description, and also its drive number?
What does Disk Manager say about that drive?
What is the ID of this HDD?
If it is an external, what is the connection type and also what is the OS's assigned drive letter?
If your Assets are relocated to, say D:\, E:\, F:\, or G:\ (looking for an internal here, but not H:\, or I:\), when you start that Project in PrE, it will ask where the files are. Navigate to the correct folder on the HDD, where you Moved the files, and choose the first one that the program is asking for. If necessary, help it find any others, should they be in different folders. Do a Save_As, close it. Exit PrE. Re-launch PrE, and Open that Save_As Project. Are the files all lost again?
Now, I use a big handful of Maxtor & WD 1.5TB, or 2TB externals, and all of my Project will be on one of those, including the Assets. I migrate these between the workstation and the laptop, and each has a unique drive letter, set in the OS of each computer, so that Z:\ is always Z:\, regardless of what else might be plugged in. I have never encountered this behavior over a 3 year time span. What I am trying to figure out is why is this not working for you.
Good luck,
38. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for fileswu1821 Sep 6, 2010 6:10 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)
I have 150 GB C:, 500 GB F:, 500 GB SCSI G:, 1 TB Seagate FreeAgent E:, 2 TB Seagate Freeagent G:. No I: or anything above G:.
When I drag a file from H: drive to Adobe Premiere Elements 7, it shows it on drive I:.
When I moved that file to drive E:, and drag it from drive E: to APE7, it shows it on drive I:.
When I moved that file to drive F:, and drag it to APE7, it shows it correctly.
The drive number for C: is 0, F: is 1, G: is 2, H: is 3, E: is 4.
39. Re: PE 8 looks on wrong drive letter for filesthe_wine_snob Sep 6, 2010 6:33 PM (in response to wu1821)
I have 150 GB C:, 500 GB F:, 500 GB SCSI G:, 1 TB Seagate FreeAgent E:, 2 TB Seagate Freeagent G:. No I: or anything above G:.
Something must be wrong with this info. You say that you have no drives above G:\, yet we are talking about drive H:\. Is there a typo, as you state that your SCSI is G:\ and that your 2TB Seagate is G:\.
If I read correctly, your C:\ and F:\ are internals. Are they all SCSI too? Is the 500GB SCSI G:\ internal, or external, and what level of SCSI is it?
What SCSI controller are you using, Adaptec? Which model?
What is the connection of your two Seagate FreeAgent HDD's?
What is the ID number of each of the Seagates?
Have you given an assignment to those two externals in the OS, or have you just plugged them in the same order, and let the OS sort things out?*
Am I correct to assume that D:\ is your multi-drive?
Good luck,
* This is the process for assigning a permanent drive letter to a HDD, external, or internal.
To assign, change, or remove a drive letter
- Open Computer Management (Local).
- In the console tree, click Disk Management.
- Computer Management (Local)
- Storage
- Disk Management
- Right-click a partition, logical drive, or volume, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
- Do one of the following:
- To assign a drive letter, click Add, click the drive letter you want to use, and then click OK.
- To modify a drive letter, click it, click Change, click the drive letter you want to use, and then click OK.
- To remove a drive letter, click it, and then click Remove.
- Be careful when making drive-letter assignments because many MS-DOS and Windows programs make references to a specific drive letter. For example, the path environment variable shows specific drive letters in conjunction with program names.
- To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
- You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.
- A computer can use up to 26 drive letters. Drive letters A and B are reserved for floppy disk drives, but you can assign these letters to removable drives if the computer does not have a floppy disk drive. Hard disk drives in the computer receive letters C through Z, while mapped network drives are assigned drive letters in reverse order (Z through B).
- You cannot change the drive letter of the system volume or boot volume.
- An error message may appear when you attempt to assign a letter to a volume, CD-ROM drive, or other removable media device, possibly because it is in use by a program in the system. If this happens, close the program accessing the volume or drive, and then click the Change Drive Letter and Paths command again.
- Windows 2000 and Windows XP allow the static assignment of drive letters on volumes, partitions, and CD-ROM drives. This means that you permanently assign a drive letter to a specific partition, volume, or CD-ROM drive. When you add a new hard disk to an existing computer system, it will not affect statically assigned drive letters.
- You can also mount a local drive at an empty folder on an NTFS volume using a drive path instead of a drive letter. For more information, click Related Topics.

A USB flash drive consists of a flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and physically much smaller than a floppy disk. Most weigh less than 30 g (1 oz). Storage capacities in 2010 can be as large as 256 GB[2] with steady improvements in size and price per capacity expected. Some allow 1 million write or erase cycles[citation needed] and have a 10-year data retention cycle USB flash drives are often used for the same purposes as floppy disks were. They are smaller, faster, have thousands of times more capacity, and are more durable and reliable because of their lack of moving parts. Until approximately 2005, most desktop and laptop computers were supplied with floppy disk drives, but most recent equipment has abandoned floppy disk drives in favor of USB ports USB Flash drives use the USB mass storage standard, supported natively by modern operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and other Unix-like systems. USB drives with USB 2.0 support can store more data and transfer faster than a much larger optical disc drive and can be read by many other systems such as the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DVD players and in some upcoming mobile smartphones Nothing moves mechanically in a flash drive; the term drive persists because computers read and write flash-drive data using the same system commands as for a mechanical disk drive, with the storage appearing to the computer operating system and user interface as just another drive. Flash drives are very robust mechanically A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board carrying the circuit elements and a USB connector, insulated electrically and protected inside a plastic, metal, or rubberized case which can be carried in a pocket or on a key chain, for example. The USB connector may be protected by a removable cap or by retracting into the body of the drive, although it is not likely to be damaged if unprotected. Most flash drives use a standard type-A USB connection allowing plugging into a port on a personal computer, but drives for other interfaces also exist Most USB flash drives draw their power from the USB connection, and do not require a battery. They should not be confused with some look-alike music player devices that combine the functionality of a digital audio player with flash-drive-type storage and require a battery for the player function Design and Implementation: One end of the device is fitted with a single male type-A USB connector. Inside the plastic casing is a small printed circuit board. Mounted on this board is some power circuitry and a small number of surface-mounted integrated circuits (ICs). Typically, one of these ICs provides an interface to the USB port, another drives the onboard memory, and the other is the flash memory Drives typically use the USB mass storage device class to communicate with the host Essential Components: There are typically four parts to a flash drive: Male type-A USB connector - provides a physical interface to the host computer USB mass storage controller - implements the USB host controller. The controller contains a small microcontroller with a small amount of on-chip ROM and RAM NAND flash memory chip - stores data. NAND flash is typically also used in digital cameras Crystal oscillator - produces the device's main 12 MHz clock signal and controls the device's data output through a phase-locked loop Additional Components: The typical device may also include: Jumpers and test pins - for testing during the flash drive's manufacturing or loading code into the microprocessor LEDs - indicate data transfers or data reads and writes Write-protect switches - Enable or disable writing of data into memory Unpopulated space - provides space to include a second memory chip. Having this second space allows the manufacturer to use a single printed circuit board for more than one storage size device USB connector cover or cap - reduces the risk of damage, prevents the ingress of fluff or other contaminants, and improves overall device appearance. Some flash drives use retractable USB connectors instead. Others have a swivel arrangement so that the connector can be protected without removing anything Transport aid - the cap or the body often contains a hole suitable for connection to a key chain or lanyard. Connecting the cap, rather than the body, can allow the drive itself to be lost Some drives offer expandable storage via an internal memory card slot, much like a memory card reader Size and style of packaging: Some manufacturers differentiate their products by using elaborate housings, which are often bulky and make the drive difficult to connect to the USB port. Because the USB port connectors on a computer housing are often closely spaced, plugging a flash drive into a USB port may block an adjacent port. Such devices may only carry the USB logo if sold with a separate extension cable USB flash drives have been integrated into other commonly carried items such as watches, pens, and even the Swiss Army Knife; others have been fitted with novelty cases such as toy cars or LEGO bricks. The small size, robustness and cheapness of USB flash drives make them an increasingly popular peripheral for case modding Heavy or bulky flash drive packaging can make for unreliable operation when plugged directly into a USB port; this can be relieved by a USB extension cable. Such cables are USB-compatible but do not conform to the USB standard How much can you store? Uses: Personal data transport: The most common use of flash drives is to transport and store personal files such as documents, pictures and videos. Individuals also store medical alert information on MedicTag flash drives for use in emergencies and for disaster preparation Secure storage of data, application and software files: With wide deployment(s) of flash drives being used in various environments (secured or otherwise), the issue of data and information security remains of the utmost importance. The use of biometrics and encryption is becoming the norm with the need for increased security for data; OTFE systems are particularly useful in this regard, as they can transparently encrypt large amounts of data. In some cases a Secure USB Drive may use a hardware-based encryption mechanism that uses a hardware module instead of software for strongly encrypting data. IEEE 1667 is an attempt to create a generic authentication platform for USB drives and enjoys the support of Microsoft with support in Windows 7 System administration: Flash drives are particularly popular among system and network administrators, who load them with configuration information and software used for system maintenance, troubleshooting, and recovery. They are also used as a means to transfer recovery and antivirus software to infected PCs, allowing a portion of the host machine's data to be archived. As the drives have increased in storage space, they have also replaced the need to carry a number of CD ROMs and installers which were needed when reinstalling or updating a system Computer forensics and law enforcement: A recent development for the use of a USB Flash Drive as an application carrier is to carry the Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor (COFEE) application developed by Microsoft. COFEE is a set of applications designed to search for and extract digital evidence on computers confiscated from suspects.[25] Forensic software should not alter the information stored on the computer being examined in any way; other forensic suites run from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, but cannot store data on the media they are run from (although they can write to other attached devices such as external drives or memory sticks) Backup: Some value-added resellers are now using a flash drive as part of small-business turnkey solutions (e.g. point-of-sale systems). The drive is used as a backup medium: at the close of business each night, the drive is inserted, and a database backup is saved to the drive. Alternatively, the drive can be left inserted through the business day, and data regularly updated. In either case, the drive is removed at night and taken offsite This is simple for the end-user, and more likely to be done The drive is small and convenient, and more likely to be carried off-site for safety The drives are less fragile mechanically and magnetically than tapes The capacity is often large enough for several backup images of critical data And flash drives are cheaper than many other backup systems It is also easy to lose these small devices, and easy for people without a right to data to take illicit backups Advantages: Data stored on flash drives is impervious to scratches and dust, and flash drives are mechanically very robust making them suitable for transporting data from place to place and keeping it readily at hand. Most personal computers support USB as of 2010[update] Flash drives also store data densely compared to many removable media. In mid-2009, 256 GB drives became available, with the ability to hold many times more data than a DVD or even a Blu-ray disc Compared to hard drives, flash drives use little power, have no fragile moving parts, and for most capacities are small and light Flash drives implement the USB mass storage device class so that most modern operating systems can read and write to them without installing device drivers. The flash drives present a simple block-structured logical unit to the host operating system, hiding the individual complex implementation details of the various underlying flash memory devices. The operating system can use any file system or block addressing scheme. Some computers can boot up from flash drives Specially manufactured flash drives are available that have a tough rubber or metal casing designed to be waterproof and virtually "unbreakable". These flash drives retain their memory even after being submerged in water, even through a machine wash. Leaving such a flash drive out to dry completely before allowing current to run through it has been known to result in a working drive with no future problems. Channel Five's Gadget Show cooked one of these flash drives with propane, froze it with dry ice, submerged it in various acidic liquids, ran over it with a jeep and fired it against a wall with a mortar. A company specializing in recovering lost data from computer drives managed to recover all the data on the drive. All data on the other removable storage devices tested, using optical or magnetic technologies, were destroyed Comparison with other portable storage: Tape: The applications of current data tape cartridges hardly overlap those of flash drives: cost per gigabyte is very low, the drives and media are expensive, have very high capacity and very fast transfer speeds, and store data sequentially. While disk-based backup is the primary medium of choice for most companies, tape backup is still popular for taking data off-site for worst-case scenarios Floppy disk: Floppy disk drives are rarely fitted to modern computers and are obsolete for normal purposes, although internal and external drives can be fitted if required. Floppy disks may be the method of choice for transferring data to and from very old computers without USB or booting from floppy disks, and so they are sometimes used to change the firmware on, for example, BIOS chips. Devices with removable storage like older Yamaha music keyboards are also dependent on floppy disks, which require computers to process them. Newer devices are built with USB flash drive support Optical media: The various writable and rewritable forms of CD and DVD are portable storage media supported by the vast majority of computers as of 2008. CD-R, DVD-R, and DVD+R can be written to only once, RW varieties up to about 1,000 erase/write cycles, while modern NAND-based flash drives often last for 500,000 or more erase/write cycles.[39] DVD-RAM discs are the most suitable optical discs for data storage involving much rewriting Optical storage devices are among the cheapest methods of mass data storage after the hard drive. They are slower than their flash-based counterparts. Standard 12 cm optical discs are larger than flash drives and more subject to damage. Smaller optical media do exist, such as business card CD-Rs which have the same dimensions as a credit card, and the slightly less convenient but higher capacity 8 cm recordable CD/DVDs. The small discs are more expensive than the standard size, and do not work in all drives Universal Disk Format (UDF) version 1.50 and above has facilities to support rewritable discs like sparing tables and virtual allocation tables, spreading usage over the entire surface of a disc and maximising life, but many older operating systems do not support this format. Packet-writing utilities such as DirectCD and InCD are available but produce discs that are not universally readable (although based on the UDF standard). The Mount Rainier standard addresses this shortcoming in CD-RW media by running the older file systems on top of it and performing defect management for those standards, but it requires support from both the CD/DVD burner and the operating system. Many drives made today do not support Mount Rainier, and many older operating systems such as Windows XP and below, and Linux kernels older than 2.6.2, do not support it (later versions do). Essentially CDs/DVDs are a good way to record a great deal of information cheaply and have the advantage of being readable by most standalone players, but they are poor at making ongoing small changes to a large collection of information. Flash drives' ability to do this is their major advantage over optical media Flash drives for non-USB interfaces: The majority of flash drives use USB, but some flash drives use other interfaces, such as IEEE1394 (FireWire),[48][49] one of their theoretical advantages when compared to USB drives being the minimal latency and CPU utilisation that the IEEE1394 protocol provides, but in practice because of the prevalence of the USB interfaces all IEEE1394-based flash drives that have appeared used old slow flash memory chips[50] and no manufacturer sells IEEE1394 flash drives with modern fast flash memory as of 2009, and the currently available models go up only to 4 GB,[51] 8 GB [49] or 16 GB, depending on the manufacturer. FireWire flash drives that needs to be connected to FireWire 400 port cannot be connected to a FireWire 800 port and vice-versa In late 2008, flash drives that utilize the eSATA interface became available. One advantage that an eSATA flash drive claims over a USB flash drive is increased data throughput, thereby resulting in faster data read and write speeds.[52] However, using eSATA for flash drives also has some disadvantages. The eSATA connector was designed primarily for use with external hard disk drives that often include their own separate power supply. Therefore, unlike USB, an eSATA connector does not provide any usable electrical power other than what is required for signaling and data transfer purposes. This means that an eSATA flash drive still requires an available USB port or some other external source of power to operate it. Additionally, as of September 2009, eSATA is still a fairly uncommon interface on most home computers, therefore very few systems can currently make use of the increased performance offered via the eSATA interface on such-equipped flash drives. Finally, with the exception of eSATA-equipped laptop computers, most home computers that include one or more eSATA connectors usually locate the ports on the back of the computer case, thus making accessibility difficult in certain situations and complicating insertion and removal of the flash drive NOTE: Be sure USB drive far away from damp and dust environment Do not knock to USB, prevent circuit protection device from drop To pull out USB in correct way Package Included: 1 x 2GB Wine Cork USB Flash Memory Drive

Between hockey tournaments, track meets, Speech and Debate tournaments, my sister trip, and various family commitments, I have been home for a grand total of three weekends since the beginning of February. My life has been ridiculously busy and while it has been fun, I haven't had a whole lot of quilting or writing time.
Normally, we'd do something fun and go camping on Memorial Day weekend, but this year, it was prom weekend and with two kids in high school, we got to stay home!! I was soo happy!!
It was all about the hair, the clothes, and the dates . . . until they left. Then, it was all about actually finishing a quilt top and parking my butt in a chair with my lap top and writing. I actually got to say hi to my husband too. It made for a great holiday weekend.
I finished the center of this quilt applique on a road trip a few weeks ago, and I had finished all of the blocks last fall. I finally got all the sashing in and the whole center put together a week or so ago. At that point, I discovered that I not only didn't have enough fabric, but that I had cut the selvage off of the fabric I did have and I had no idea how to get more. Thankfully, a brilliant woman in a Reno quilt shop (I was on another trip to another sporting event) identified it correctly, so I could order some. The only place I could find any was from a quilt shop somewhere in Minnesota – thank God for the internet!
I could have left it without borders, but I wanted it a little bit bigger. I also wanted the blocks to "float" a little more in the quilt's center. Happily, the fabric arrived on Friday, just in time for my three whole days at home. I got the borders on this morning, and I like how it looks.
Now, it just needs some quilting, and it can go on the bed. One UFO down, nine to go!

Kevin Kennedy became CEO of Avaya in January 2009, and has presided over some of the company's biggest-ever changes: an ongoing retooling of its executive ranks, a complete revamp of its indirect channel strategy, and a blockbuster acquisition of Nortel's former enterprise unit, which meant that a formerly bitter networking competitor is now part of the Avaya umbrella.
With the dynamics of the UC and collaboration space changing rapidly -- and plenty of competition for Avaya both veteran and upstart -- Kennedy has his game face on, and is looking at ways to both grow business and make sure channel partners stay profitable. Kennedy sat down with CRN Networking Editor Chad Berndtson for an exclusive interview at Avaya's recent Americas Partner Conference in Las Vegas, excerpts of which follow.

ARDMORE, Pa. – Phil Mickelson always knew he would be home in San Diego the day before the U.S. Open at Merion. Wet weather put him home a little early.
His daughter, Amanda, is graduating from the eighth grade on Wednesday and is a featured speaker. Mickelson left early due to rain at Merion, giving him a few days of practice in pristine weather.
He will fly back after the ceremony, in time for him to tee off at 7:11 a.m. at Merion.
Amanda is his oldest daughter. She was born the day after the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, where Mickelson carried a beeper and pledged to withdraw if his wife had gone into labor. That was the first of his record five runner-up finishes in the U.S. Open.

Credits should go where credits are due Besides, your stuff are simple to understand, it looks good and it couldn't be any better, of course i'd vote for that anytime We definately need it for the wiki.Harlock wrote:I just posted some pics to LordGideon's thread, not officially in charge of anything... But thanks for the vote of confidence.XidanePayne wrote:Ship info and Ship available rooms are covered by Harlock, or am i wrong? Those layouts are pretty neat and comprehensible.
And alright, if you fix the ships, i fix the races, does that sound good? Here's my contribution, please do come with feedback as i went with what looks fun and simple. Also, i'd appreciate it alot if we could, all of us together, find out something to put in the description of each card... because my brain ain't that cooperative right now. I'm a pro at webdesign, digital art and illustrations, so this proved pretty simple to me, and i'll contribute in any way i can with what i know.
PS. Harlock, if you don't mind, i'd like to keep the layout of my cards to be similar as yours. That way, it'll look like they all belong together and not like separate pieces If you mind, we'll duel about it.

Every few minutes, Jean Kelley touches her son's shoulder or knee as she speaks directly to him.
"In your very quiet way, you make a big impact, Brian," says this Branford mom as her 24-year-old turns his head and moves his eyes. She's sure he can hear her, but Brian cannot speak and is confined to a wheelchair due to a rare disease called adrenoleukodystrophy, or ALD, which robbed him of his neurological function when he was a small boy.
But his mother believes he would have had a normal life had he been diagnosed with this hereditary affliction earlier, and she is now on a passion-filled mission to instate newborn screening for ALD in Connecticut hospitals.
"If another family and another little boy doesn't have to endure the challenges that Brian has, that will be wonderful," says Kelley tearfully, as she remembers her son skiing on black diamond trails and rollerblading with his brother and sister. "Brian was a typical 6-year-old."
But all of that changed quickly after a sledding accident when doctors discovered he suffered from ALD, a condition that affects one in 17,000 young boys missing an enzyme, eventually leading to the destruction of the body's myelin, which protects the nervous system.
Brian had a bone-marrow transplant but he was already symptomatic, and his disease continued its devastating progression.
"It's all about early detection," says Kelley, who is trying to get a bill passed that would require hospitals to include a new test for ALD in an already existing screen of about 40 diseases, such as cystic fibrosis. This "heel stick" occurs within the first two days of an infant's life.
"If a child is diagnosed, they would begin taking Lorenzo's Oil at about 18 months," explains Kelley, referencing a controversial mixture of amino acid and enzymes made famous by a 1993 movie. The oil is not FDA-approved but thought by many to be an effective treatment. "They would also be monitored every six months by MRI." She has been shaking hands, meeting politicians, doing anything, to gather support.
On Tuesday, an inaugural golf tournament at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield will further raise awareness and funds for Brian's Hope (www.brianshope.org), founded in 2010 to support medical research.
"Brian and the Kelleys have touched everybody's lives in our community," says organizer Stephen Burke of the Branford Lions Club, who suggested the inclusion of the non-profit organization in the event. "In truth, there wasn't a second choice."
The bill just passed through Appropriations and is headed to the Senate. Kelley desperately hopes it will become law as soon as June and that babies will begin to be tested early next year. For now, she will continue pushing for change as she listens to Red Sox games on the radio while painting with her son, her hand on his hand.
"We're kind of symbiotic," she says, smiling at the young man who fills her heart with pride. "Brian is brave, and Brian carries me."
