hard drive

Below in my screenshot I have marked the W10 installation, W10 bootloader, and Linux install. For some reason, every time I install W10 it decides to install the bootloader on a seperate drive. When I boot into the linux drive grub shows W10 but I am unable to boot into it. I am able to boot...

Bookspace disk space I noticed that I have unallocated disk space on the system disk. Quite a lot, in relation to the size of the disc in question, and so I like to use it. Does Windows have any tool / option to add it to C drive? The disk space reserved for programs and applications would...

After replacement of a harddisk in my NAS I want to shovel back about 1 TB files from my PC win10 64 bit to it. Tried it first with robocopy. File transfers ended when some mp4, some tif files were to be copied. Error message - Other app using them. Resource monitor showed no handles to these...

Hi everyone, I'm using a Dell XPS 15 9570 and I'm trying to partition my C: drive but I'm facing an issue with storage. Even though I have more than 90GB free, every time I try to partition the disk I'm given only 2GB to work with. I've cleared up temporary files and scanned for viruses but...

After my mom corrupted the hard drive of my computer I had to factory reset my laptop. Since then I can't use it. I can't open apps, I can't create a windows linked account because I can't get past the services part of windows setup without getting a blue screen. I've looked everywhere and tried...

I just purchased an HP laptop with a 128 GB M.2 SSD Hard Drive. Besides the original setup and adding some basic programs, I've done very little in a week. But my C: Drive has already used 42% (only 69GB free) A further disk analysis shows that, of the total used, Windows has used 30%...

I just cloned my old SSHD onto an SSD and now when I try boot my PC with the SSD it keeps saying my password is incorrect. It boots up fine all the way to the login screen (I can see my old wallpaper and everything looks normal) but I just cant seem to log in, I even tried changing my password...

I have 2 identical hard drives set up as a "storage space" in a redundant mode. Since the last forced crap windows update or so, when I try to copy a file of any size to the space, it says the drive is full. Windows explorer, system, terracopy, ubuntu subsystem, partition magic and western...

How can make a hard drive that allows me to install both 64-bit and 32-bit windows into any machine if I plug it into. I don't mean a USB stick, or external hard drive, I mean an actual hard drive. This is my only option right now. I tried the media creation tool but it only allows me to use...

Hello, I've been messing with my computer (Laptop) for a few hours now trying to get it to work and it just won't. It got hit on the far right of the touchpad, shut off, and now will not boot. I figured maybe it was my hard drive just having boot problems so I created a windows 8 bootable USB...

The Windows 8 Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 machine says 'Default Boot Device Missing or boot failed. Insert recovery media and hit any key', when we boot. I've followed these instructions, with no luck: Link Removed The machine cannot recognize the hard drive. Can I create a bootable usb drive, boot...

After leaving the computer idle for some time, like overnight, I find the computer apparently awake (sleep light not on), with the hard drive light irregularly but dimly flashing, and no way to access it. Neither mouse clicks nor any key on the keyboard does anything, nor is there any apparent...

Hi all, I have 2 drives, an SSD and a hard drive. Windows is installed on my SSD, but I moved my documents folder to my hard drive in order to save space on my SSD. This worked fine, but my hard drive is showing problems and I wanted to move my documents back to my SSD in preparation for when I...

I am running Win 10 using a 3.5" Hot Swappable HD caddy. I am interested in graduating to a SSD HD. Is it necessary to disconnect my existing caddy in order to install the adapter? Or can I affix the adapter to the SSD drive, and merely insert it into my existing caddy? TIA

Upon preforming a disk cleanup I believe I accidentally erased data on 2 recovery partitions. I assume one is for 7 and one for 10. I took a look at the hard drives recovery partitions and there is 100% free space. If one is for 7, I can live without it. However I would like to have one for 10...
