Detecting IDE Devices (Primary/Secondary & Master/Slave) in VisualBasic Help Please

hi,

i am trying to make a very simple program that will just detect
and output your currently connected IDE devices. It will look
something like this:

IDE PRIMARY MASTER:
IDE PRIMARY SLAVE:

IDE SECONDARY MASTER:
IDE SECONDARY SLAVE:

And it will just show you what you have connected.
I have been researching for hours and hours for how to
do this and I've come up with NOTHING!

Is this even possible?

I know what you're going to say, why do that when you
can just see the same information in your BIOS when
your computer boots up. I know I can do that, but
I want a way to do it in windows.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I have 2 servers (A and B) setup as Master and Slave respectively. Upon A's failure, all client's request will be directed to B. How can I set A to become master again after its been restored from its failure? In chapter 4.10 of mysql docs, it mentioned (vaguely) that A will become B's slave to sync all operations that had happened after the failure. Finally, upon full sync switch A to become Master again and B to slave.

I have a very simple problem (I hope). Our master database ran out of connections and we had to restart the server (couldn't SSH into the box). Rebooting the server worked and of our clients resumed activity. The problem is that the slave didn't start automatically so I tried to do a START SLAVE; on it. This is the latest shown in the error log on the slave.

Hello! I'm trying to set up replication between two servers and even though I did everything according to the documentation, the slave keeps failing to connect to the master like this: | 050119 0:23:43 Slave SQL thread initialized, starting replication in | log 'zwart-bin.001' at position 79, relay log './blauw-relay-bin.001' | position: 4 | 050119 0:23:43 Slave I/O thread: error connecting to master

After a failure, we promoted a slave to master. This included renaming the server to the old master's name and ip address, but leaving the server id alone. The new master works fine. We repaired the old server, gave it a different name and ip address but leaving the server id the same. I get the following error on the slave:

There comes a time when you know you are not going to be able to work something out yourself, however hard you try. I have reached that moment. I have a master page and a slave page (or whatever one calls it) All I want to do is show a Google map on the slave page. The map that Google gives as an example when it gives you a key would be just fine. I have searched high and low for a means of doing this but all I could find

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
