Hi. Sometimes when you've copied things from one USB drive to another and it has completed, you can't seem to remove the hardware safely via the icon in the system tray. I suppose windows is indexing the disk or something. Is there a way to stop this which is more convenient than rebooting the...

We purchased an LG WH10LS30 SATA Blu-Ray DVD CD Burner. When we plug this SATA drive into the motherboard port on a Dell Precision 390 workstation, it is not seen by BIOS, or by OS. Is this because motherboard SATA is tuned to hard drive use only? If yes, what would be the best way to get...

I am about to put one of these new 4K sector hard drives on a Windows 2003 server pc. Should I be worried: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8557144.stm Thanks, Lynn

Can anyone recommend a good and cost-effective service for recovering data from a dead hard drive? My development and boot drive just died on me. I have reason to believe that the disk medium is still in excellent shape, but the drive electronics themselves are ...
