My latest video review takes a look at the raw and unbelievable performance in VMWare Workstation 7.1.1, running 3 operating systems simultaneously under a Windows 7 64-bit host machine. Hi, this is Mike from Windows 7 Forums, and we’ve got a good one for you this morning. Today, we’re checking...

I was hoping to use my external WD Terabyte HD as a webshare/server/online HD. My intentions were to try and set up the harddrive to be accessible by anyone on the internet with ID and PASS. I have looked around and done some research on different ways to write/read on the harddrive. But FTP...

I'm a bit worried about this as the two drives are visable at all times (regardless of if it's xp or 7) What I'm worried about specifically is that how likely will one program from one side influence the other. I've already had a search bring up stuff from the opposite drive when I...
