drive

I have some files on a 1G USB flash drive. When I try to access it, I get the warning that "The disk in Drive E is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?" (I've tried on 3 different computers, so it must be a fault with the drive) Are all my files irretreivably lost? :(

Am I missing something here, couldn’t our lord Baby Jesus just ask his dad to delete the global warming thing, or is he yet again testing us and/or making us pay for our sins? Was going to put this in "Humour", but unfortunately I think they're serious.:jaw-dropp So not a Goldfish bowl...

Just what the title says. I've had a pretty major system crash which has highlighted my need for a reliable hard drive backup system. I need something at least on the 120 GB level (although more would be handy). Any advice on brands? epinions doesn't get much in the way of reviews on this...

My home pc died last night - well, it locked up. I rebooted, but no joy. The drive clicks at about 1.5Hz for a minute, then I get a message saying there was a read disk error, and to ctrl+alt+del to restart. This is all before XP starts up. This morning I tried booting again and everything...

I need an external hard drive. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'll connect it to a USB port. I need at least 120 gigs. ~~ Paul

I asked this question years ago and never got an answer and another thread here made me think of it again. How much RAM does a human have? How much storage space does a human have (think hard drive)? I was thinking RAM as in what you use when you are thinking about a problem. What do you...

I've finished moving into my new computer. The old one is going to charity. How do I nuke the hard drive? I can't do it from inside Windows, including from the command prompt in the DOS window. I know there's a way to boot into DOS, but how do I manage it?

As I was rapidly running out of memory I decided to buy an external hard drive. External, mainly because of ease of installation, just plug and play (on USB port). It is advertised as "up to 480 MB/s transfer speed". So I thought it was good for digital video capturing storage. But it is not...

I put an old HD into my computer and installed XP on it. It's a Quantum Fireball. It's 30 gigs, but windows only sees it as 13 gigs. I think I may have partitioned it wrong. Is there a free tool I can use to change the partition size? Can I even do that on the drive with windows installed? Any...

Mein hardrive ist kaput. I've swapped the master and slave, and am back on my old hard drive. It's been so long since I've had a hard drive do this, what system software can I use to fix it? I've got windows XP pro installed on both hard drives. I have to stop building my PCs out of crap I...

Hello everyone, its my first post here. My interest in skepticism is starting to peak now coincidentally enough to TV, mainly the Penn and Teller show on demand. Anyway, I was wondering why the skeptical community hasn't tackled something I am very familiar with, vampires and those who claim to...

I want to format my hard drive so I can change from FAT32 to NTSC (or whatever it's called). Anyway, found this backup option by rightclicking the drive, then picking one of the tabs. I've just backed up to a RAM disc. If I now format my hard drive can I restore the information to my hard...

Hi, is it possible to purchase one of these to hook up to my TV? My video recorder is broken and I was thinking of getting a dvd recorder. But since I will basically just be doing timeshifting I don't really need to record to dvd. On the other hand it would be nice to have something that...

I installed the hard drive from my old computer onto my new computer as a slave. I jumpered the new computer's hard drive as "cable select" and the old hard drive as "cable select." This seemed to be the only jumper configuration which enabled my computer to boot up. All other configurations...

Would you like to have them knock on your elderly parents' front door? Or your 120 lb MILF of a wife and your little baby, while you are away at work.... Oh that's right, half of you don't work here and have no interest in a wife or children anyway...

I'm looking to buy an External HD for my laptop. I'm currently thinking of a Maxtor OneTouch FireWire and USB 250GB one. Does anyone have any experience with it? Are there better choices out there for a similar price? Will it run on a linux machine (I dualboot Debian and WinXP)? Thanks

My parents and sister have been yelling at me for literally years , insisting that when I leave a CD in the drive, it makes the computer actually run slower. Odd, you know, that I've never noticed this effect myself, even though I have about 10 times more computer knowledge/experience. I 'd...

I say we can. If not TOTALLY...enough to know that the person just might be this all around self-centered jerk whose every movemnt through life is based on me, me and me. What do you think? Consider the courtious driver. Consider the driver who is out in la la land. Consider the guy who passes...

Just got a TEAC CD-RW drive (USB) to backup files. The drive works, but a first few shots at burning a disk failed. It came with Nero 6 burning software. After reading through pages and pages of FAQ and try this, this, this, this, etc, etc, before contacting us, am I better off just getting...
