Can't format 64 GB USB flash drives as FAT32? by
Ant
Hello.
I noticed both updated 64bit Windows 7 HPE SP1 & 10 EE won't let me
reformat my new 64 GB flash drives as FAT32 (default originally). Their
Explorers only gave me NTFS & exFAT. Why no old FAT32? Not everything
know exFAT & NTFS. :(
Thank you in adance. :)

StarTech ATA-100 cables any good? by
Will Dormann
Tony wrote:
I need a 24" cable and I can get a StarTech round for a good price. Any
signal integrity issues with this brand (since they are so cheap)?
Round cables are a bad idea. Cables over 18" are also a bad idea.
Combine the two, and you're just asking for trouble.

ghost and disk management are opposite by
Irwin
I want to backup the system partition on a box before I update them and
install new anti-virus, updates, etc. Disk management says that disk 0
is the d: drive (data), and disk 1 is the c: drive (system). One
partition per disk. Not the usual arrangement, but it is OK. But Norton

Slow write speeds on a WD 500GB drive by
bbbl67
A friend of mine had an WD My Book external case, which contained a
500GB WDC WD5000AAVS-00ZTB0 hard drive inside it. At some point along
the way the My Book's interface failed, it's warranty was expired, and
so we took its hard drive out and installed it directly inside his PC
case. This was back...

Need Data Recovery from HD by
Crusty \Old B@stard\
With all you have done to the 80 gig drive, data recovery is now a "moot
point". You have already destroyed much of what you want to recover by using
the drive and performing a recovery on the drive.
When you lose data -STOP. Assess your options. The time for data recovery
software is "prior" to...

Cheap Enclosure for 4 IDE drives? by
[email protected]
I've got 4 80GB Drives that I'd like to redeploy in my house, but my
existing computers don't have any free IDE connexions, PCI slots, or drive
bays. I also don't want to create another complete PC in my house.
I've seen some IDE-raid enclosures, but they are all prohibitively expensive.

Help, the dog ate my MBR (Linux/Windows dual boot) by

Something trashed my MBR. Now when I boot the PC,
I get the dreaded "NON-SYSTEM DISK. PLEASE INSERT

By MBR, I meant the first sector of my hard disk drive,

Dying/Failing Old HDD? by

Portable ext. HDDs without power AC? by
Ant[_3_]
Hello.
I know some people prefer to use portable external HDDs, with their
power AC connection enclosures or adapters, for reliability and
stability. Some people prefer those tiny HDDs with only their USB
connections for both power and accessing data (easiest and lightest).
Are there any...

Reliable external hard drives with ESata interface by

I had previously bought two 1TB external hard drives a few years ago

I don't save videos or anything really big (I only hae 100Gig of files

I have had a hard drive crash and didnt realise that the reason the system

I noticed that the cables sold now has USB2 on it. I have old ones
(and new ones) and they work fine. I wonder is a difference in
transfer speed between old and new cables. If so, is there a way to
identify the whether a cable is USB1 or USB2?
Thanks,
