I've been successfully using WSE2016 since 2023 only for personal use to back up several PCs. A couple of months ago it failed, possibly the result of multiple power outages here in Florida. After trying to recover I gave up and did a new install using the same two 1TM SSDs as before...

I just stated to get my Toshiba back to Out of the Box condition. Well, since I changed out my hard drive to a Solid State one, with just the first disk of three, it has taken me 3 hours and 40 minutes to get the Hard drive deleted 50%. So much for SS Drives being in a hurry.

Back to running Windows-7-pro. Still more solid than 8.1 or beta-10.
I have 16-gigs of ram on the board. Windows-7 sees it, but I often wondered if it actually uses it. I had the pagefile at 12-gigs. So I did a test.
I moved 38-gigs from one sata drive to another sata drive. The desktop...
Storage. It's not a sexy topic. But everyone uses it in some way or another. You have iPhones, you have computers. Everyone knows how important a person's data is. But it doesn't just "disappear."
Or does it?

Okay, so, I have issues dealing with the fact that I have windows 7 installed on a 32 gig Solid State, meaning that I perpetually don't have enough space for anything, but that's not my problem, it just might be related to my problem.
My problem is that I turned off my computer, and it...

Hello I'm new to these forums. What happened to my computer is, I kept getting the BSOD, I went into safe mode, removed the most recent programs I had installed, and it stopped happening. I then proceeded to plug in my external hard drive. It was not recognizing it for some reason, so I went to...
