My IBM ThinkCentre M52 has a small (3.46GB FAT32) partition labeled IBM_service (EISA Configuration) placed after the C: partition. Exactly what function(s) does it serve? The drive that it is on is quite small (80GBs), so I'm considering replacing it with a larger drive, but I'm wondering if...

I've got 16GB now so decided to try making a 10GB RAMdisk and loading a game (DCS World) from that to see if the stuttering problems I experience are indeed caused by the HDD not being able to stream the data fast enough. However, as you can see from the images below, when I benchmarked the...

Hello Forum, It's not a hardware issue, so I'm posting it here. Seems I'm not the first one but it seems to be a recurring issue which is slightly different for everyone. I cannot access external HDDs connected via USB. The Device Manager shows a device. Under "Properties, Volume, polulate"...

Greetings! For the most part, I LOVE WIN7 64. However, I have had huge complications with my external hard drives that has made it essentially impossible to write to a 2 Terabyte external. I've googled and tried for hours various combinations of 'take ownership' and file permissions etc etc...

I have a new 8 GB memory stick and it passed the readyboost test - initially. But I wanted to dedicate the device to readyboost so I reformatted to NTFS (was FAT32 initially) and now all I can get is "This device cannot be used with Readyboost". I have tried a command line test that gives me a...
