disk

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...

I'm switching over to Windows for a better gaming experience, but most of the PCs I'm looking at online come with Windows 10 pre-installed. I've tried Windows 10 before, and I hate it with a passion. If I were to get one of these PCs, (For example, an Alienware Aurora) then how would I go about...

HISTORY Some months ago, my Windows 7 PC was flagged to be updated to Windows 10, then suffered a hard drive crash. I purchased a new drive and tried to install windows 7 from disk, but since it is an update disk it wouldn't install. My solution was to grab a Windows 8.1 Pro Preview ISO disk...
