Turns out I was using the wrong cable. The latest USB drive seems to literally work. Needed a type A to type B micro with both portions plugged in. I was using the Micro A portion, which it obviously...

The catch is that all of these drives worked a year ago. Then there was an electrical issue with the device that killed the 3 USB drives I had.

Is there likely to be a software fault, or a...

Well I ended up purchasing another Toshiba 2TB drive. But there's the same issue. It makes a ticking sound, and certainly isn't recognised by Win 10. The sound is consistent, and occurs when it's...

Any further ideas? I don't like the idea of transporting it 15kms in a car, just to have a potential software fault addressed. The USB posts were stuffed. But they were supposedly 'looked at'. They...

The techie was very subtle. Just emphasised on a 'solid state drive'. Minimal if any detail.

Never heard of such. The drive I ordered from China for 20 odd bucks turned out to be a 50 gram dud. So light that it would float downwards onto the floor like a leaf almost.

The third one was...

I already uninstalled BitDefender recently, as a result of a post on this forum. It coincided with updates suddenly encountering minimal if any errors. This was mentioned in my thread titled 'No more...

No, haven't been able to use them at all. The files kept disappearing on a cheap USB drive I ordered from China. I purchased an over the counter one, and there's still the same issue with the files...

I have purchased 3 separate USB drives in the last 3 months. For some reason, they either don't show, or the files seem to disappear. The latest one I've purchased is a Toshiba Canvio V10 with 2TB of...

Well, Bitdefender is history now, and that yellow spot on the taskbar has appeared for the first time in a few months. I just hope that Win defender is good enough to protect against the vile content...

It's a desktop. I prefer not to have to move it at all, unless it needs to go to a techie. I remember having an update installed some time ago that went through. Already had an unnerving and...

I have used mobile data for years now. Until about 2023, the updates seemed to go through without issue. For at least 3 months though, have been getting this error: 0x80070643

Is there any way at...

Got this to replace the tiny USB adapter I had previously. But the connection is still dropping out. Updates are still out of the question.
...

According to a tech, the USB 'dongle' is to blame. But unfortunately, I can't recall what he said in regards to which one to replace it with. I am sick of replacing these USB adapters only to find...

The suggestion is appreciated. But actually, I addressed it by rolling back the changes with the initial driver updater program.

Whilst attempting to fix the dreaded issue with the USB drives not being recognised with Auslogics, I unintentionally disabled the Logitech keyboard, as well as the USB wireless adapter. This means...

I feel like Windows 10 is stuffed at my end.

USB drives fail to get recognised by the OS. But I can connect portable devices, like a camera for example.

Compared to Win 7, Win 10 has been a...

There's a slim possibility. But there's only one account, which goes under the same name. There have been two HDD replacements performed in just over 3 years with the device.

These saves are...

If it was this easy, I would've done it by now. It simply doesn't work when you select restore. Hence cmd.exe is necessary.

The reason I'm asking is because a while ago, I noticed some items via the 'Everything' program, which I didn't detect via other avenues. These were in the hidden recycle bin, and I needed to extract...

Just wondering. What does one do to robocopy a file from the hidden recycle bin to the desktop with cmd.exe (running as administrator), and the robocopy command?

I intend to extract a folder from...

Anyone know how to connect an old HDD to the motherboard?

I have a 'Western digital' 4TB drive from about 2019, which I need to be able to reconnect via a sata cable to the current WD 8TB drive....
