Laptop Insurance Coverplan

Laptop Insurance Coverplan

rejected the application?

I received a letter from my company coverplan saying: We received a report researchers in our name with details of the telephone conversation they had with you. (I said the laptop was on the roof my car and I completely forgot it was you when he slipped and I spent more than I realized) because it was an accident should have been covered. However, they will say: "In his report of damage that has confirmed they have verbally informed that his application was rejected unitentional damage due to negligence. Therefore, we confirmed our decision to reject their request and unitntentional damage. WHAT SHOULD I DO ?!!?!? It was an accident not intentional!?!

You're screwed. Neglect is the key word here. He forgot to remember that left his team on top of your vehicle for any reason. They're not going to cover something they were irresponsible in its affairs. Sorry man.

External Hard Drive, the Best Storage Device to Store Data

My friend Arif called me up yesterday and told that his Dell Laptop has been stolen. He was at a loss not because of the lost laptop but for the important data that were stored on it. There were tons of official data and some of them were very confidential. In addition, some of his personal data including passwords were also saved in it. Anyone can come across such situation. And how to avoid such unwanted situations.

 

Well, computers, be it laptop or desktop, has become an integral part of our daily life. Apart from official purposes, computers now play a very crucial role to refresh our mind. Listening to favorite movies and songs is the most popular past time indeed. So, if the laptop is lost or the hard drive gets damaged, we lose our favorite songs and movies. If the hard disk drive is damaged there is chance of recovering data with data recovery support from a remote-computer-support, but if stolen, you are undone. Here comes the importance of external storage devices.

 

To protect your important data from online hacking, external storage device is very useful. How? Once your computer is connected to the internet, it becomes open to the hackers and crackers. They use Trojan and other spyware to look for important information like your username, password and credit card details that are stored on your PC. So, instead of saving critical information on your computer, it is better to store them on an external hard drive.

 

You only have heard about external hard drives and don’t have detailed idea about this? An external hard disk drive is one kind of HDD which is connected to a computer by a USB cable. You will find standard SATA, IDE, or SCSI hard drives in the market. These portable disks come with USB, eSATAp, eSATA, and SCSI for connecting to the host computer.

 

External hard drives are widely used for backup of files and information, data recovery, disk cloning, running virtual machines as well as for scratch disk for video editing applications and video recording. Modern external hard drives that are available in the market are compatible with all operating systems. So, whether you are using Windows operating system or Linux OS or MAC, you can easily sync it with your computer.

 

When it comes to the best storage device, external hard drive is the ideal choice. You can store huge amount of data and disconnect it when not required. External hard drives are available of various sizes and brands. 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, etc. are commonly used. You can get it depending on your requirement. Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, etc. are some of the most popular brands available in the market.

To make your important data safe and secure you can opt for data backup services from computer repair services companies. There are many such companies that offer online tech support to meet the requirements of the PC users.

Old hard drive is Password Protected… experts help.?

No, it’s not a Win XP login password, or a BIOS password, it’s a hard drive password (stored in the HDD firmware, not allowing any access until a pw is entered).

My old laptop died a while ago, and I got an external setup to hook up the old HDD to the new comp so I could access my old files. Unfortunately, I forgot it was password protected, and it still is; plugging it into a different laptop yields “this drive is PW protected, please enter the correct password.”

Well, I know my old password, and enter it, but it says it’s wrong. I know it isn’t. The old laptop was a Toshiba, the other one I’m trying it on is a Dell; my new one’s a Lenovo but it’s SATA, not IDE/ATA so I can’t really just plug it in that way. Making it an external USB drive doesn’t work either, as password protected drives don’t allow access.

Do I have to buy another Toshiba Tecra A4 in order to be able to access my data, or what? I’m getting really annoyed here.

Well,
Dell told me a while back ago IF YOUR REAL SMART open your computer/laptop up and on the motherboard there should be some password thing its about 1 inch big maybe less but you can choose to disable it (move the clip thing over) and the password is disabled.Sounds confusing huh?This might not work for a Toshiba.

Purchasing a Home or Business Computer 2010

Purchasing a Home or Business Computer 2010

Author: Jaime H. Menor Jr.

Technologies evolve at a very rapid pace, Minimum targets for a decent system that can run contemporary software. You should be able to buy systems that meet these targets. With the fast pace of continuous innovation, particularly in processor speed, the recommendation for a specific level of system will soon be out of date.

Processor (CPU) – Speeds of 2.5 GHz and up are now common. You will pay higher amount for the absolute latest and greatest processor technology; for most people, buying a processor for their current needs sufficed them, but in general upgrading the processor is not cost-effective; you should anticipate your need in the higher level of processor.

Memory (RAM) – The amount of memory installed in your computer is considered one of the biggest factors in its performance. The more memory you have, the faster your software will run, the more applications you can run at once, and the easier it will be to switch between applications. Adding more memory is relatively inexpensive. Don’t hold back on memory! Prices are quite low, and additional memory will give you the most noticeable improvement in speed. 1 Gig is a decent minimum for a new system. Some systems are still running with 512 MB of RAM installed, and this may well suffice for your immediate needs, but moving up to 2gig or more is strongly recommended. It is particularly important to have a generous amount of memory installed in laptop or notebook computers. When a system is low on memory, disk activity will increase, draining your batteries more rapidly.

Hard disk space – New systems commonly come with drives that hold 160-250 GB or more. Most systems will allow you to add more disk space later, either as a second internal drive or as an external unit.

Graphic Card- Most people do not need an expensive graphics card only the hard-core gamers, however, whenever your budget allows, it is better to have a “graphics card” than “onboard graphics”. Onboard graphics chipsets are built into the motherboard, and while they do a quite adequate job, onboard built-in graphic share on your RAM and that mean it cause your machine to slow down. But after all, you can buy, and install a graphics card at any time.

Monitor – You should not buy a new system with a monitor any smaller than 16″ 18″ and 21″ screens Flat panel (LCD, plasma) monitors are becoming so affordable. You may be able to save a bit of money with a 16″ display, buying into the larger screen size is recommended. Compromising on the quality of your monitor is a not a good way to save money, because the only way to upgrade a monitor is to buy a new one.

CD Drive/Optical drives. Two CD drives, while nice, is not a necessity, however, make sure your “combo drive” can burn and write to a dual-layer DVD. If ever you really need a high definition burner and you want it right now, hold off on going for a “Blu-ray” burner just yet. Blu-ray readers are available and should suffice.

Now Win 7 is here, for some of you that combo really “means”, now is the time to buy a new PC. Go with a mid-to-high end CPU. The quad-core CPU’s from Intel are very good, but the most is Intel i3, i5, and i7 chips which Intel company claims are faster and smarter when it comes to performance, and are the latest ‘generation’. If you have a budget, go I7.

HP laptop or Apple?? Which should i get?

im 17 jr in highschool.

Which is better for me?
Easier to use?

thnx

Macs and Windows are equally good at graphics and artsy stuff.

But don’t listen to those who tell you that Macs are more expensive. If you do a search on eBay, you will see that more people are buying old Macs than old PCs. This is because Macs have a longer useful life than do PCs. You will replace your Mac about half as often as your PC. Macs are cheaper than PCs for their total cost of ownership.

Macs are much less susceptible to viruses and spyware than Windows.

Macs are easier to fix. 99% of what it takes to fix a Mac will fit on a single sheet of paper. See the link below for that sheet of paper.

Macs are simpler to use, crash less often, don’t force the user to do stuff that the computer should do automatically.

Your Complete Guide To Laptop Security

Laptops are commonplace today as they provide the users with an easy environment to work in. The features of mobility, technology and the capability of storing large information make these machines a must have ins. Losing a laptop often doesn’t matter as much as the fear of losing the data it contains. In order to secure your precious information carrier, putting a security programme in place is thus a must for the individual and the organization on the whole.

Whenever there is a laptop theft, only a few of the culprits are concerned about the data it contains but more are concerned with its digital treasures like the hard drives. By selling them they seek quick profits. This article is devoted on how you can secure your laptop and will give you a brief overview on how users can prevent laptop thefts.

With the increasing number of laptop thefts, people have become more concerned about their possession. To support this there is available a wide range of security products depending on your requirements. Of which the most important is the users self security. You should be very careful with your machine while traveling. The others security means are:

Laptop Security Cables: It is the most cheapest and effective security measure available in the market. Laptop Security Cables are light weight cables that wrap around a stationary device and lock the security slot of your laptop. If your laptop is not equipped with a built-in security slot, an optional glue-on adapter is available at no extra charges.

Laptop Safes: They are the most convenient security gadget available to you while you are traveling. A must have in especially for the travelers! Your machine is transported safely in a sturdy trunk in your very own vehicle.

Technological Solutions: In this category you have a wide array of products, ranging from motor sensors to theft alarms, depending on your requirements.

Track IT: This product helps create a “maximum separate zone” around both the user and the laptop. As soon as you move out of the range of your machine, the alarm rings and once back within the range, it stops. It is an ideal solution for preventing thefts in crowded areas. But the interference from the environment such as the metal beams and other radio sources is a drawback to this solution which reduces the usefulness of the product. Another method is to opt for an alarm that relies on the movement of the object that is attached to it. If the object that is attached to the sensor is moved an alarm will be raised.

Caveo’s Anti-Theft PCMCIA Card: This device monitors the position of your laptop. There are sensors that detect the movement of laptop outside the designated workforce, several events can occur like the alarm will ring, where upon Caveo will shut down and effectively lock the machine by preventing it from booting without a proper action.

Password Protection: If you are running an operating system that supports proper login settings, a password is a must.

Smart Cards: They are being used sparingly as they are an efficient way to block access to people other than the user.

Encryption: Data encryption system protects information stored in your laptops.

Biometrics: It provides another means of blocking access by allowing only the users who authenticate their identity with various physical characteristics such as the finger prints, voice patterns or their retina scan.

These security products provide effective theft deterrents and access controls but ultimately it all depends on the individual user to prevent their laptop theft. Users need to be specifically careful in the public locations.

But despite the progress in security products and applications, the threat of laptop continues to grapple the minds of the laptop owners.

Getting data off 2 1/2 ATA Hard Drive…?

I spilled wine into my HP Pavilion ZD8000 Laptop. Two drop’s got through the keyboard and landed on the motherboard. It seems one drop hit the motherboards “G” spot and it fried the motherboard. After I quit cursing and kicking and bitching, smoke started to poor out of the laptop at an alarming rate. (This was after I unplugged it and removed the battery so it must have dischared a capasitor or something..?) Anyways, i bought a 2 1/2 inch USB hard drive enclosure and my hard drive data is still good. I can acess everything except 1 folder. (The folder i need of course) The problem is that when i go to “E:Documents and SettingsMy User Folder” I get a message box that is titled “MSOChache” and says “E:Documents and SettingsMy User Folder is not accessable. Access is denied”. So the data in my users folder is not accessable and the most important documents are within my user’s folder. How can i get into this folder and get my data? Any ideas?

Get a 2.5 inch drive enclosure for your laptop’s hard drive. I recommend a Rosewill RX250-U Aluminum 2.5″ USB2.0 External Enclosure for just $7.99 from NewEgg
.

You see, you can use that old hard drive as an external drive, now that you will be getting a new computer.

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Zodiac signs compatibility with cars: What kind of car best fits your zodiac sign?

Aries sign car compatibility

 

The speed junkie of the zodiac, Aries, would only choose cars capable of high speeds and very maneuverable so they can bang their heads faster into different life situations(in this case the front of the car), as many times as possible per time unit. He needs no passengers, always rides alone and goes alone everywhere.

 

The interior of the Aries’ car is made of leather (from ram or sheep skin). The car has only one window, in front of the car, because he has no time to look around, that’s why rear view mirrors aren’t necessary also. The aerodynamic shape allows them to get ahead of others and get anywhere before others do and when they get there, again get ahead quickly towards the new destination.

 

As it can be seen, the wheel which gives the direction is very small, because the direction where a native born in the Aries sign is heading is a minor detail as long as it’s charging with a high speed towards it. The only downside (or maybe its really an advantage, it’s still in research) is the small tank, that makes the car use up all the fuel in the few meters.

 

Taurus sign car compatibility

 

The vehicle a Taurus rides with (if he manages to get himself started) is always very valuable and represents the security of traveling on any terrain. It is reinforced to resist all contact with anything and everything that stands in his way, any barriers are pushed away with ease in front of him until he gets to the destination.

The rear storage space is perfectly usable for any type of food, be it cooked, or cold.

 

The seats are comfortable, wide, you can sink, relaxed in them, and the suspensions are designed so there would be no bumps that would bother the pleasant cruise, the movement is slow and linear, not to stir the food in the back.

 

The board comes with a tray, a support for three types of drinks, an oven for heating the food and a mini-fridge to keep things cold… as well, in the driver’s side door there is a mini-safe for things that are really important for the Taurus, money and the property certificates of the various assets he owns.

 

The car has an autopilot made especially for the Taurus; once he reaches cruising speed (which is very slow, not to disturb the pleasant comfort of the passengers) the autopilot kicks in and never stops until he gets to his destination. This autopilot disables the brake, the steering wheel, and anything else that might change the direction or that might vehicle bring the vehicle to a stop.

 

Gemini sign car compatibility

 

The natives born in the Gemini sign don’t need much to be happy. A little car, that has two seats for the two and a trunk to fit the toys (ball, surfboard, diving googgles) is enough, and for other fun thins like cross words and other fun magazines have some kind of a special place between the seats.

 

The car isn’t big, as you can see, so is the tank, because for the Gemini, the distance isn’t as important as the coated surface is.

 

The car is equipped with universal support for all types of phones and the extra GSM antenna mounted on the roof ensures the stability of the signal in any conditions for a continuous communication, uninterrupted by anyone and anything.

 

The navigation system is interactive, beside the road directions, you can talk with it on multiple subjects, it being able to indicate all types of information about the route, and if this information is missing from the database, it mixes up the rest and plays them randomly, not to interrupt the conversation.

The two laptop stands on the board and the two from the back seat, secure an internet connection as well as cable TV.

 

The onboard computer, is configured in a special way for the Gemini, it disconnects all communications systems for a few seconds, so that the driver can also pay attention to the road.

 

Cancer sign car compatibility

 

Even if it is not new, the car of the Cancer sign is fitted with all the safety of his native home. He never leaves without initially moving all things in the car, along with his mother and family.

 

The motto of the car is: “It doesn’t matter how many we are as long as it’s intimate”.

 

The intelligent system of the car verifies every time before starting or stopping if all the family members are in the car, their weight, so that the Cancer can determine weather they ate or not, and the volume to determine the thickness of the clothes. The report is automatically displayed in front of the Cancer driver, for him to make sure that everyone is well fed and well dressed before any other action to take place.

 

The car can also be used for traveling in the past, if not otherwise, at least through the pictures of the parents and their children with which the car is full of, with pictures from everywhere they have been and where our Cancer has memories from (at least from the stories he heard, because he hasn’t moved too much out of the house).

 

The navigation system is specialized for the Cancer sign. This system, instead of the well known “at the next intersection, turn right”, it will say “at the intersection that you just missed, you should have turned right”. He marks down and stores all the routes, and every time he comes back on the same route, instead of giving directions, he says: “I’ve been here, remember?”, to bring back the emotional charge from which our Cancer remembers the route.

 

Leo sign car compatibility

 

Evidently Leo’s car goes with matching accessories, such as a private jet.

 

The car comes from the factory equipped with a driver, butler and a personal body-guard, them being included in the price of the car and being available for the Leo at any hour. Although they are trained about their duties to perfection, they’re waiting with their eyes wide open the orders and instructions of the Leo, as if they would know nothing, assuring the Leo’s emotional wellbeing.

 

The navigation system has incorporated several thousand expressions of politeness, courtesy, and the flattery in order to satisfy the need for importance of any native, no matter how off the charts are his needs in this area. The expression “at the next intersection, turn right” is replaced with expressions of this kind: “if you as well wish for this, you humble road adviser, advises you to turn right at the next intersection”, these indications being repeated just once, with a lot of caution.

 

The luxury of the car interior is crowned by the life-size picture of the Leo, in all his glamour, the auto-unrolling red carpet, the spotlights and the recordings with applauses and ovations bring certain grandeur at the arrival, whatever the destination may be.

 

Virgo sign car compatibility

 

After the Virgo tried to understand the way the first car works and to reorganize more efficiently and more logically the car’s components, he purchased a new car.

 

In the first place, this car assures that the route, on which the Virgo is going to drive upon, is clean, disinfected and hygienic. Obviously, the first condition for safe travel on the roads is their cleanliness.

 

The rear tank is divided in three parts. One part containing water to wash the roadway really well. The second is equipped with side taps for everyone to be able to take as much liquid soap as needed. The third part contains fragrant water from a lily, to give the car the smell the Virgo likes. On the sides of the car, there is a box with wet wipes, also for everybody.

The car has incorporated a special mechanism for thoroughly cleaning the soles of the shoes before getting in and also after getting inside, an automated disinfecting spraying system so we won’t bring any germs inside the vehicle.

 

The navigation system completely lacks the voices telling the Virgo things about the route, when it’s clear enough that the Virgo knows better. For these reasons, when there is the need to change the direction, the system spreads dust and dirt in the right direction, causing the Virgo driver to redirect immediately towards the dirt, reaching the destination without the need of any indications and with total satisfaction, at least for the Virgo.

 

Scorpio sign car compatibility

 

Depending on its state at the moment, the Scorpio chooses one of the two cars he or she has…

 

The first car meets Scorpio’s needs to experiment the dark side of its own being. For this, he needs to retire in the coffin in the trunk of the car, so living the experience of death, experience that he makes sure everybody will know about whether they want it or not. The masochistic tendencies are fully fulfilled by the bed (from the coffin) and the chair full of pins with which this car is equipped.

 

The other car is fully equipped, like the bedroom of the Scorpio. It has things ranging from vibrators and other kinky erotic toys, to handcuffs and leather whips. The rear seat can be transformed at the touch of a button in a comfortable bed, and the tinted windows assure complete concealment from the rest of the world, for the activities of the Scorpio. The seats are fitted with a high intensity vibration system, and for other more extreme moments with nail cushions if the journey might get to comfortable or smooth.

 

The navigation system knows all the hidden streets in the map, and always chooses the less circulated or illuminated roads. It has a sensual voice, and it tells us we’re there with high intensity pleasure moaning. The good direction is indicated with deep sighs, and if a change of direction is needed, directions like “a little to the left” or “just a bit to the right”, and “oooh God, it’s great, don’t stop”, help the Scorpio get fully satisfied reaching new heights.

 

Stay tuned, and if you have unanswered questions, decisions that you need to make or want to know yourself or your loved ones better, we will aid you with an open heart in finding the right answers for you, with your own personalized, detailed astrology reading, done with a sincere desire to enlighten and enrich your heart and soul, by our astrologer.

 

Sagittarius sign car compatibility

 

The Sagittarius’ car is designed to teach people what law and order means. Its got a speaker for everyone to hear the spiritual truths that everybody should follow, and of course, the car has to have the privilege not to be subject to any rules or constraints.

 

The interior is equipped with all the coercion methods that a man can thing of (from the inqusition’s torture methods to the modern handcuffs and baton), in order for the Sagittarius to ensure compliance with the laws that he considers important. Like any fanatic, he’s got all the legislation in the trunk so he can show people that he is right and to be able to prove that he is right in any field.

 

The navigation system has no voice, no display also, because the Sagittarius listens to no one and to nothing, but it has the posibility to be programed to show others the road in the case that someone should argue with the Sagittarius about this.

 

 

Capricorn sign car compatibility

 

I have to say that being born in the Capricorn sign, I laughed at myself more than a bit, because Zoltan had presented our uniquely strange things as Capricorns in a very funny and playful manner, making me feel proud to be born in this sign of the zodiac. I hope you will enjoy the article as much as I did! :)

 

The car owned by the Capricorn sign must be simple, useful and must not use up any fuel. Instead of consuming fuel he or she would rather have a smaller car or, even more, a car that can be pushed somehow like the Flintstones car.

 

The Capricorn’s car has no features. The seats are made of wood, the space is small, everything is optimized for an efficient and sober driving without any decorative elements or other shiny stuff to distract the attention from the responsability of driving a vehicle.

 

 

The only features permited are: a support for the schedule notebook, three watches and for the business business cards, that’s all. In the trunk we can only find the elements that are strictly necessary for survival: knife, flashlight, scissors, gas lamp, hammer, patent, rope, screws, compass, keychain with can and bottle openers, wrench, scraper, rubber gaskets and other essential supplies that he/she never knows when they might come in handy, weather for him/her, or for others, right?

 

The navigation system always chooses the most efficient route from all points fo view and it also has the option of finding an even more efficient route, more efficient than the most efficient.

 

You know how Capricorns search for more efficient way of doing everything? I have found astrology to be most efficient in getting to know myself better, through the astrology chart readings Zoltan did for me, being inspired to talk to me in a way I can understand, shining a bright light on my dark thoughts.

 

I still listen to his consultations, and for me, they are like a book, every time I listen to them, I find out something new about myself, I’m finding a new understanding and gain more self confidence in who I really am, in spite of all the mist and illusions.

 

 

Aquarius sign car compatibility

 

The car the Aquarius signs drive are of all kinds, but they all have one thing in common… they are different from the cars of the others and it must be able to accommodate as many friends and people close to their hearts. The Aquarius sign, will never be disturbed that the tracks were designed for someone else, he is free enough to travel wherever he want, with whomever he wants and on whoever’s tracks he wants.

 

The car runs on alternative energy sources, from wind and solar energy, to simple gravity, and anything and everything in between… it is spacious and offers everyone the possibility to get in and get out without asking for the Aquarius driver’s permission or without the permission of others, and mostly, it should not ask the Aquarius by mistake “where are you going?”.

 

The navigation system chooses the route randomly and it modifies it several times during a journey with spontaneous and relaxed interventions like: “at the next intersection turn to a random direction” or “”ha-ha-ha, who would have thought, we’re lost”.

 

Pisces sign car compatibility

 

Speachless… almost…

 

The Pisces sign car was built to help people. As many and in as many different ways as it can be. If someone needs help with transportation, the Pisces jump in his aid with their car, if someone needs some shade, the Pisces jump in his aid with their car, if someone needs anything else, the Pisces… will do everything in their power to get take them with the car where can find help.

 

They usually have no place in the car, letting others get in that need the car, walking beside the car listening to the angelic choir represented by the voice of the navigation system: “Lord please help us get there well”, “what will happen if we don’t get there?”, “do I deserve to get there?” and other precious indications like these, about the destination.

 

Stay tuned, and if you have unanswered questions, decisions that you need to make or want to know yourself or your loved ones better, we will aid you with an open heart in finding the right answers for you, with your own personalized, detailed astrology reading, done with a sincere desire to enlighten and enrich your heart and soul, by our astrologer.

 

About the Author

Astrologer, NLP practitioner, astrology blogger

http://astrology-of-enlightenment.blogspot.com

My name is Veres Zoltan, I was born on may 9th 1977, in Targu Mures, Romania, at 17:30, or 5:30 PM (GMT+2), in the case that you would like to analyze my birth chart.

I am a licensed economist and computer specialist, but my passion was always astrology, at first as a hobby, but afterwards a lot of people started to ask for my services, transforming my hobby into a profession.

From the first moment I got in contact with it, astrology meant a profound and efficient way to get to know people, to me, to discover what is happening inside them, inside their relationships, inside the lives they have created. I understood the fact that we are not honest with ourselves, especially with our dark side, and that, very often, we need someone from the outside to come and put a mirror in front of us.

This way we have the chance to discover ourselves as we really are, with all the potential and limitations we have at a certain moment, this way we can learn to undress ourselves of our masks and to shine in all our splendor and learn to bring all the good and the beauty we were meant to manifest in this world. I started to be more and more interested in this science of the soul, which gives me the possibility, to put a mirror in front of those who want to discover themselves, day by day.

I graduated the courses of the “Helios” Astrological Research and Applications Center, courses sustained by Bartha Zoltan, and have been an astrological consultant and lector for the past 6 years.

In between, to develop my counseling abilities and to understand human psychic and personality, I completed my studies with courses and seminars in Neuro-Lingvistical Programming. In the present, I’m studying and teaching astrology within the “Helios” Astrological Research and Applications Center team from Cluj Napoca (Romania), by teaching in several cities in the country, and also sustain private astrological counseling sessions for those that request it.

 

Are there any harddrive MP3 players for cars?

If absolutely forced to, I will end up buying a 160gb iPod and some sort of mount for it. That is not the question, so please don’t answer if an iPod or other portable mp3 player is your only solution.

I’m looking for a 100gb-ish capacity hard drive based MP3 player for my car, to simply replace my stereo altogether. I found one, the dh-100ix, which was mysteriously discontinued very quickly, and cannot find a single other one that meets my criteria:

100gb internal harddrive
A good way of browsing through MP3s

I wouldn’t think this was that hard to find, but extensive googling has found absolutely nothing. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.

Does such a thing exist? If so, is there some special term I need to search for? I’ve only ever seen reference to one player, from 2005, that met my criteria at all. The rest is people rigging up laptops to do this, even though it’s clearly not a very difficult thing to develop.

There is the AVIC-Z2 which does have a built in 20Gb HDD, 10GB however, is taken up with maps for the nav. There is also a few Alpines on the market (Usually upwards of $400) which have USB ports, some have an 8GB limit, but I beleive the newer models have a much higher limit, but you would want to check out the alpine website and look at their media decks. The down side is that many of these decks don’t incorporate CD or DVD players, so you are stuck with only digital media.

http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=iDA-X001&lang=en&tab=D

The only issue I can see with using this deck, assuming it has a virtually “unlimited” HDD read capability would be suppling more than the available power to power the HDD, because the power provided is supposed to be used only for solid state memory. It probably wont have enough power to spin-up a drive, so you’d have to modify a usb hub and use the voltage regulator to supply a little more power to the HDD, but other than that, it MIGHT work.

Best of Luck.
