Quietness of 2.5" vs. 1.8" Notebook Drives
I need to replace a 2.5" notebook drive. I can just purchase another 2.5" drive, or there's the possibility of getting a 1.8" drive and a 2.5" - to - 1.8" drive adapter. What II'm curious to know is if anyone knows to what degree the 1.8" drives are quieter than the 2.5" drives. They all seem to run at 4200 rpms, s... 22 Apr 2008 14:49

Recovering ownerships and permissions after migration
Hi, Does anyone know if there is a utility or script that would go through my files and directories (after they were migrated from one partition to another) and assign them the ownerships and permissions as intended by Windows?

Long Term Hard Drive Storage
So I was looking at AVCHD cameras the other day. With my current MiniDV camcorders I can store the tape for over a decade without a problem. I have proven this with old 8mm tapes recorded in 1987, and stuck in a Digital8 camera and Firewired into a PC ad a DV file. There I was at 9 years old. Stunning. So for ... 10 Apr 2008 20:08

drive keeps having partition problems
I have a friend with a 250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA (in a Win XP Pro machine) that's throwing weird partition issues at the drop of a hat. Last week, after the PC crashed in a game, the entire drive (3 primary NTFS partitions) became inaccessible. Partition Magic 8 showed it as one errored partition. I c... 23 Apr 2008 15:44

WD2500BEVE corrupted geometry
I bought a WD2500BEVE drive (Western Digital 250GB 2.5" IDE) to upgrade my Dell laptop and somehow in the process of partitioning, formatting and Windows OS migration, its geometry got corrupted and instead of being a 250GB drive, it is now a 78GB drive. The corruption is on the drive itself, as the 78GB shows i... 4 Apr 2008 18:00

Corrupted MBR -Regular occurrence
Hi group, I've had to format my hard drive around 6 times in the past 6 months because of a corrupted MBR. Initially, a few runs of CHKDSK in the recovery console and a running FIXMBR has fixed the problem for a couple of months only to have the same problem happen again. Thinking it was the hard drive, I t... 1 Apr 2008 15:07
