After a previous video of flashing Mr. BIOS onto my Packard Bell Platinum 2220's PB685 Orlando motherboard I wanted to upgrade from the 4GB CompactFlash I was using in it previously. One of the reasons for the BIOS upgrade was the support of LBA28 (28-bit Logical Block Addressing) which enabled hard disks with an addressable capacity up to ~137GB (~127GB formatted usable).
Partition Commander (made by VCOM) was a GUI-based partitioning software for back in the day to provide a more user-friendly and feature-rich environment for HDD partitioning.

. Anyone who has tried to use the LEGO Power Functions system outdoors knows that the range is quite limited due to interference of the infrared signal (sunlight and lack of objects to bounce off of). I experimented with the idea of using a remote control extender designed for use in entertainment centers. By transmitting RF signals and then re-transmitting the IR signal at the receiver to the PF receiver, it eliminates any potential range issue (up 150 feet).
The one I chose to use based on how it operated was the NextGen Remote Control Extender Genius (my video on it is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ij_Fa7jtOY )
Building instructions for the extender holder are here https://mausolfb.altervista.org/lego/Building%20Instructions/Building%20Instructions%20[IR-Holder].html
