Solid State hard drives. Yeah or nay? by 8-Track
I'm thinking of getting a solid state drive for my boot and critical programs and the local computer guy may be getting a 60Gig as trade in for a customer that wants to get a 120Gig. This means I can get the 60G dirt cheap. I don't know the model etc yet and was wondering if you guys had any...

defrag takes much longer on 1000GB drive by sandot
Defragging my 1000 GB hard drive takes much longer than a 200 GB or 500 GB. drive. My system may be a bit slow but the difference in time is very large (maybe 10 times longer). The cluster size on all my hard drives is 4KB. Is it because the NTFS indexes and other system software are so big...

I think I once read here that there is a freeware imitation of Partition Magic, or at least something cheaper. My current need is to take a partition that's already in use and make it smaller so that I can carve out a small partition from the space that used to belong to it. Partition Magic would...

2.5 inch enclosure failure as coincidence? by DManzaluni
I bought a few USB 2.0 IDE enclosures on ebay for 2.5 inchdrives, described as "new chipset" enclosures They are very simple, and were cheap. Curiously both have failed at the same time after about a year of not particularly heavy periodic use. They have failed on all drives and with similar...

Looking for decent SATA RAID controller by BD
Hi, all. I have an Asus M4A79 mainboard, and 4x640GB WDD SATA disks. The mainboard has RAID controller functionality, but I wasn't able to get it to work before my patience ran out, and I've seen some reviews that the stability of RAID under this chipset is questionable. I want to find a decent,...

CHKDSK hangs -- HDD failing? by Dave Hardenbrook[_2_]
I have a fairly old but operational 2002 self-built system running Windows XP Home SP3 from a Maxtor 15 GB HDD (mainly for legacy games that don't like newer hardware). Windows has started reporting corrupted system files, and when I attempted to "Ghost" the drive with Acronis TrueImage Home,...

Bad Blocks? by Why I Like BT
I want to dual boot my XP machine with a Linux OS. I tried to use Acronis Disk Director to use some free space from my C partition to create a new partition for Linux but an error message came up stating that it couldn't do it owing to "bad blocks" on the disk. What I know about HDDs can be...

DVD drive "device is not ready" in XP by Tom Del Rosso[_3_]
Under XP Pro, the DVD burner can't detect that a disc is present, whether data or audio. Bootable CDs can boot though, so the hardware's fine. Reinstalling the driver doesn't help. The mfg installer CD isn't any help, unless I can copy from their CD to a flash drive on another PC.

Gateway computer - DVD disk drive opening by Richard Fangnail
I got a small Gateway desktop and it's hard to open the DVD drive. You have to push really hard and slow on the button, or sometimes you have to open the hinged part first. Sometimes I've had to look for an Eject command in a program. Having to deal with the hinged part isn't so great either...
