    This code will build the Sheet Name by using the date stored in the cell.

    BTW…you don’t have to Select the ActiveSheet, it’s already “selected” since it’s Active.

    In addition, you rarely have to Select an object to perform a VBA Action on it.

    ActiveSheet.Name = “My Sheet Name”

    or

    Sheets(1).Name = “My Sheet Name”

    is more efficient.

    The same goes for cell ranges, text boxes, whatever.

    Instead of:

    Range(“A1:A100”).Select
    Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 3

    use

    Range(“A1:A100”).Interior.ColorIndex = 3

    Option Explicit
    Sub NameDateSheet()
    Dim myShtName
    myShtName = Month(Range("A47")) _
                & "-" & Day(Range("A47")) _
                & "-" & Year(Range("A47"))
    ActiveSheet.Name = myShtName
    End Sub

    “But when I install it, the PC does not start and Mobo starts beeping continuously

    The beeping is an indication that the RAM isn’t fully seated in the slots. Make sure it locks in on both ends.

    And if you have no plans to overclock the CPU, you should be running the RAM as DDR3-1066 @ 533MHz frequency. Running DDR3-1333 @ 667MHz without overclocking the CPU to 333MHz frequency will throw off the ideal CPU:DRAM frequency ratio of 1:2. Instead, it will be 2:5 & you’ll take a performance hit.

    “the tower seems to be coming on and firing up OK so think its working”

    If you can’t get a display on the monitor, it’s obviously not working.

  5. If everything is working properly, yes, it should spin up as soon as power is applied. Make sure you have any jumpers set correctly. Most require the drive seat as Master

    Here’s one way to transfer files without guest additions. It works with Virtualbox, and QEMU images. I learned this by searching on the internet.
    First, make sure the guest VM that you want to copy files from isn’t running.
    You will also have to have a driver for NTFS filesystem in your case.
    If you have QEMU-utils installed, you can use:

    sudo modprobe nbd max_part=16 #this loads network block device driver into kernel

    then…

    sudo qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 <path to your VBox hdimage.vdi> #binds your hdimage to network block device, which can then be mounted as a normal filesystem.

    and lastly…

    sudo mount /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt #or wherever you’d like to mount it.

    When you’re done transferring files you’ll need to unmount the filesystem and…

    sudo qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0 #unbind hdimage from network block device.

    That’s it.
    I’ve used it several times, and it works very well.

  8. Is the LCD surface clean? Get another LCD or CRT monitor attached to your system to test the video quality on that monitor - then compare it to your Dell LCD. If it's new, take it back. Make sure you scream at the Dell ppl too, they like that.

    In that case I think this drive is faulty. How that happens? Who knows but the most common cause is the failure to use the Safety Remove Hardware routine before pulling out the device,

    Below is a list of LED behaviors which are all NORMAL (courtesy of ScanDisk).
    1. LED is a solid light and blinks only when transferring files to the device.
    2. LED blinks rapidly during initialization then turns off. LED then only blinks when data is being transferred.
    3. LED breaths (slowly fades in and out) when device is not being used and blinks rapidly when data is being transferred.

    A drive with no LED activity, or red LED or solid or constantly blinking LED can be cosidered faulty or corrupted (remember this is just MY BEST OPINION and I am not the authority on this thing 🙂

  10. a SMART event error would suggest that your drive is not functioning to be potential, in other words it is failing. i would recommend that you back all your data up and change the drive. however if you have warrenty on your Dell then you can have them do this for you.
