disk management

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...

I reinstalled window 7 on a computer that was having issues. I deleted the existing Windows partition/drive and ran the install to that Drive (c). After getting everything reinstalled I was going to image the C Drive. It appears to be linked to another large drive (3tb). That drive didnt show up...

I had this machine wouldn't start, wouldn't repair, wouldn't reinstall, nothing... had a thread about it.. Well I took the drive out of that machine - we're talking Win10 - and stuck it in another machine as the system drive just to see what would happen, would it run or mainly would it cause...

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...

I have a Dell XPS-17 L702X laptop running Windows 10 Pro x64. I upgraded my 500GB internal secondary drive to a 1TB drive. I did not do a quick format of this new 1TB but rather did the full, longer format. The new, upgraded 1TB secondary drive was made active and assigned the drive letter D...

Hello, I was conducting a deleted file recovery using EaseUS Data Partition Recovery. I came across a file labeled "MountPointManagerRemoteDatabase.MountPointManagerRemoteDatabase" The file shows up as 0 KB when I tried to submit it to Microsoft for malware analysis. So, the system Microsoft...

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...

Last week i posted about slow boot time. I was asked to check free space and had about 300gb left. Well this morning, my laptop had a warning message saying 0 bytes free of 909gb. I checked and sure enough, 0 bytes free. Wtf is going on? Thanks Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

I want to provide a lot of space for a Linux Mint distribution to run on the windows pc, having first set up a dual boot system. I had a D: drive with 800MB of space not being used. I deleted the D: drive and that space became "Unallocated". Following the instructions, I should be able to click...

I have a custom built PC running Windows 10 Home that will not recognize my external HDD. The drive is a brand new 160gb WD Scorpio Blue, and the case is a new Sabrent EC-UASP. My other Windows 10 devices, as well as my Dell chrome book, will recognize the drive. Upon plugging the device into...

I have an old laptop that I thought I'd try and speed up by using it as a Chromebook, however, I want to go back to Windows. I created a bootable USB Windows 10 drive and booted from that. I have run Win10 on this laptop before. When I try to install, there are now 27 partitions on the drive...

Tried installing Lubuntu on my D: drive which contains only files, no OS! But when i selected this drive in the boot options got message "Bootmgr is missing". Lubuntu gives the option to select which partition should contain the "Bootmgr", and i selected the same partition for the OS to be...

I'm scared of partitioning D: drive to install Linux. My most important files are backed up in the cloud but have loads of stuff i don't want to loose. The process went fine for my C: drive which already had windows 7 in it. Should i expect a similar scenario for my D: drive?
