Yes, that was mentioned in the other forum post but when I showed my specs they didn't think it would work out. I'm not 100% really, after I installed the suggested driver I tried a couple of movie trailers and it seemed ok, but today is the first chance I've had to test it further with more...

I had bought a refurbished computer to hook up to my TV to watch Netflix. It has 2.80GHz Intel Pentium D-820 processor, when I watch videos in small screen its OK but very slightly jerky but if I put it in full screen its horrible, very jerky and unpleasant to watch. I had posted in another...

Thank you so much for your help, I did the requirements check and I'm good. It IS only 4GB but runs great. Congrats on your grand-child :O)

I have just bought a secondary refurbished Windows 7 laptop, mainly for when all my 4 grandkids are here. It only has 250GB of space and 4MB memory, they love to play Minecraft against each other so how much space is still good for them to play? I don't plan on loading anything that is not...

'Tis done!! Thank you very much indeed for all the help and for sticking with me through the day. First time I've ever used command prompt but you made it very clear. Thank you. Maureen.

I did that, thanks for the good instructions - scary stuff though. This is what I get in disk management. Which one should I do please?

OK, I haven't done it yet. Just wanted to let you know that when I right click on the large primary partition I get the option to delete, but on the EFI partition all options are greyed out. Should I still delete the 465 GB partition?

Here is my snippet.

I had looked in management before. This drive is in three parts, one being the primary, but right-clicking on any brings a greyed out menu so I can't reassign it a letter.0

Once I'd made sure everything I needed was off and readable I formatted the external drive, restarted my computer and . . . it's not showing :O( Guess I need to buy a new drive. I must say thanks one more time, I've got my stuff.

OK, I can't thank you enough!!!!!! I have copied off the drive the few things that are truly important to me. The rest is no longer needed. So I can format this drive and then it will be usable as a back up on windows? I high-lighted it and when I clicked 'format' I got a drop down menu which...

This drive was very briefly used on a pc then I went to mac. I didn't do a thing to it, just plugged it into the mac and away it went, worked smoothly with Time Machine and I was able to transfer the few files on it. Thanks for the link, I will look and see what I can do. Thanks again.

Hello, I have just moved back from mac to pc. I have a 4 year old LaCie External drive that has everything backed up from my mac. I know most of it will be useless but I need my budget spreadsheet and want my photos, and stuff like that. Trouble is when I connect it to my new pc, Gateway One...
