I think I managed to do the stuff on that video, an then I had to use the following link to scan the usb drive, and then I was able to format it and save my files on it. Normally I would have just bought a new drive but it's the end of the month and I get paid Monday. I wonder why all the...
Hi again. I'm still not really too familiar with how to navigate this forum. I did use the link you just gave me. It is instructions for Win 7, and this pc has Win 8. In Programs there is no such thing as an Accessories folder. And again, as in previous things you have had me try, the...

I was trying to implement a suggestion from a forum and was unable to find Accessories or Command Prompt. Did a search and found the executable file in System 32. Got into command or dos mode.... and kept getting error messages that the commands were not recognized. Then it seemed to tell me...
