Oh yea. Right now, my machine crashes on a near-constant basis. This isn't really a choice. Either I get a new motherboard - one with win10 drivers - or I go back to 7. No discussion possible.

So the primary issue is this: My motherboard is old enough that there are no windows 10 drivers for it.

I did get everything running smoothly at one point, but have no clue how, and now it...

Well ... since they were both showing up before, I see no reason why it'd be different now.

And no, I ... am not familiar enough with dos or command prompt to have done so.

What's intriguing...

.... aaaand I still can't format it. Darn.

Well - it sorta worked. I can use the drive again, so that's nice. It's still more than half full, so my files are still *on* there - but they're not showing up.

None too important in the final...

This is going to run long, so at first, a resume:

Win10, installed on a clean disk (which is small), with a second drive for real storage (because the first one can hold little except the OS).
