kosinus — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 18:29:05 +0800

Hi, wanna ask sifus over here..

I've 500GB IDE WD HDD with data inside. it is dynamic HDD.

my situation:
using ide->USB converter, the drive (the HDD got 3 partitions) not appear in "my computer" (win 7 ultimate desktop). I checked at Disk Management, the Disk is invalid. right click on it, got option to Convert to basic and reactivate disk (not success when i clicked as the disk is invalid).

But connecting to laptop (win XP) via same method, i can make the drive appear by "import foreign disks" (which the option is disabled in Win7).

Any1 can help me as i need to access the data via my Win7 desktop..

Body weight

kosinus — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 12:42:08 +0800

I just bought new digital weighing scaler. I found it interesting as my weight is fluctuating after i've done certain activities.
In one day (in kg):
After wake up: 66.5
After jog: 66.3
After taking bath: 66.0
After lunch: 67.7
After exercise @ evening: 67.3
After taking diner: 68.0

Is it really true that our body mass can fluctuate like that? metabolism factor?
what is the best time we should take our body weight?

Any different setting to be done at KL codec? What should I do to enjoy the series??
