Now bios won't find the drive so there must be a bigger issue. I'll return the drive. Thanks for everything.

I did notice that bios recognizes the other drives with the manufacturer name. Like "Seagate Expansion Desk 9401". But the troublesome drive is shown as "Linux File-Stor Gadget0419" with no...

Thanks for your response but diskpart will also not recognize the linux HDD.
Any ideas?

Have an HDD that is formatted for linux use. After installation drive is recognized by bios but not disk management or Minitool. How do I format the drive for Windows 10 use?

Thanks

With bluetooth My Windows 10 Home PC and S10+ will pair. The PC shows "Connected" but my S10+ shows "Couldn't Connect". Searched this forum and others and have tried every possible fix several...

I have a Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256GB SATA (love this thing) as a boot drive and a 1TB Toshiba HDD for storage and every thing else. I need a bigger secondary HDD. Is there an advantage to a hybrid...

That did it. Thanks.

On a desktop that has recently been updated from Win 7 to Win 10 pro, when I start up the screen stays on the Windows icon (no moving dots to show that it is processing) and the fan runs fast. The...

Is there an issue with Acronis. I've used it for years with zero issues. Saved me more than once.

I got it. Kari put me on the right track. It seems that Acronis Backup targets M:\ for Acronis Drive. Even though an M Drive doesn't show in Disk Management or the registry. One less thing to...

Thanks. Do you know why I suddenly have a FAT32 partition? None of my other machines have one and this machine didn't have one before the upgrade. And any idea why the 450Mb Recovery that supports...

I upgraded my SSD boot drive from a 128GB to Samsung 850 Pro 256GB. I used the Samsung Migration Tool as instructed. Now I seem to have an new FAT32 100MB partition, a new OTHER 16MB partition, a...
