We love badges. And we’ve really got to thank [Charliex] for taking the time to write a huge post about this year’s LayerOne badges, especially since they’ve got their backs up against the deadline for pulling everything together in time.

Here’s a floppy drive which is being used as an audio sampler. At first glance we thought this was another offering which drives the stepper motor at a specific frequency to generate that characteristic sound at a target pitch. But that’s not what’s happening at all. The floppy is actually being used as a storage [...]

[Andrew] was left wanting by the slow hard drive in his 2011 Mac Mini. He set out to add a 10,000 RPM drive and we think he did a great job of pulling it off. Luckily he also took the time to document the process so you can try it yourself. As with a lot [...]

If you’d like a pseudo-mechanical way of producing a droning synthesizer sound, [gijs] is your man. He made a small synthesizer out of nothing but an old hard drive and a few components. Whenever a disk platter is spun manually, the spindle motor inside the drive produces a few out of phase sine waves on its [...]

So your hard drive quit working. Don’t despair, with a “little” work your disk can be repurposed into a clock like the one seen above.

The Isostick, a Kickstarter project now in development, is meant to emulate an optical drive in the form of a USB stick. Although there is nothing new with putting an iso file (optical disk image) on a USB stick, what is unique about this drive is that it fully emulates a drive without actually having [...]

Everything gets smaller as technology improves. [Rossum] reduced the space needed for an Atari 810 disk drive by building this tiny replacement.

remote-exploit & backtrack
Well, I wont say much about this computer I'm dealing with, needless to say I can't modify the hard drive contents and I don't have access to the internals.
Booted up a copy of BackTrack 4 Final onto a computer after acquiring BIOS rights. We got the password to the BIOS, changed the boot order to CD and first booted to windows normally. Then we restarted and booted into BT4 to see what we could do. I got called away and when I came back my partner in crime was pale and was looking at the BIOS. The first HDD was no longer in the BIOS boot options, we get an error (more info on that error later) when we don't have a disk in the drive.
Loading up BT4, the hard drive is still visible. It's just not being picked up by BIOS.
Tomorrow we'll be playing around, our ultimate plan is to upload a back door, fix it and give ourselves remote access from our own computers, though if it goes on erroring out like this the HDD and BIOS are sure to be flashed.
So... Any idea what might be doing this? Any BIOS settings or even a linux setting that may have somehow played with the hard drive?

remote-exploit & backtrack
I am new to Back Track and everything related.
Ok where to start...
I have windows 7. I downloaded BT4 iso. I ran unetbootin and set it up on my hd(cdrive). I got on to the bt desktop and tried to run the install.sh it tried to install it onto my jump drive. I ended it and removed the jump drive. I tried again and when I got to the part where I should be able to set the partition it took me a page called partition prep. It wouldn't let me do anything. Every program was disabled and there were no partitions listed. I tried to make a new partition and it wouldn't read the partition either.
Someone please help me. I was really excited to run a dual boot and would love to know how to fix this error. Im reallllly lost as to what to do so anything would be nice. :confused:

Hi
I got a 8 gig flash drive, and want to put BT4 on it (temporarily), boot into it from my EEEPC and Install it permanently replacing my currently installed Ubuntu. It is a netbook and can't install from a CD.
How would i go about doing this?
