disk management

Hello, Summary of problem: After re-installing Windows 10 on my SSD, I have to have my 2nd HDD unplugged to get it to boot to windows. As a test step, I did configure the HDD SATA port for hot swap mode. This does allow me to boot the computer with only the SSD plugged in and once it boots, I...

I'm hoping someone in this community can help me with a hard drive problem. Recently, I replaced my old laptop (it ran a Linux/Ubuntu OS). Before getting rid of it, I removed the laptop's hard drive with the intent to repurpose it into a portable hard drive. I then encased it within a plug...

Some idiot tech at msft fudged up my PC over an issue I was having. I couldn't boot to my desktop after that. So I inserted my installation disk to install a fresh new copy. For some reason I got an error saying, "we couldn't create a new partition. Error: 0xe6774cc0." To correct this, I entered...

What can I do? My win10 installation seems to have died this morning. I can't rescue it, repair it, go to a restore point or put an image on - nothing works. So I tried to install a new Win10 but got a message that it couldn't be installed because that chosen disk and partition (the very one...

Hello everyone, I've come across a weird problem that I'd like to share with you: under certain circumstances, Diskpart and some other programs don't report the correct capacity of a hard disk. The disk in question is a new 4 TB, or 3.64 TiB (3726 GiB), Seagate BarraCuda, initalized as a GPT...

Hi all, I just upgraded from Windows 10 32bits to 64. I used an external hard drive for that and of course, I didn't think about it, everything is gone. Some of it wasn't backed up, so I'd like to get the data back if possible, it'd mean the world to me. My little bit of hope is that my hard...
