In Topic: Possible DOA Hard drive

It's all fixed, and I feel somewhat stupid that the answer was in the first post. I didn't know that a drive had to be initialized at that point, I'm surprised that neither windows, drive makers or external enclosure makers seem to tell you to do it.

Nop, haden't done it, just read about it. Man, it was hidden, I wish they told you that when you popped the drive in. Trying it out right now, thanks for the tip.

Thread revival!

So I didn't find anything to fix my problem, and decided to RMA the drive, but have been lazy and haven't done it yet. My old 250G hard drive started failing, so I bough a new one, a Caviar Green, also 1 TB that I put into my external enclosure and... it still doesn't work! It installs correctly, the adapter is shown in devices, and the disk appears in device manager, but there is no external storage that appears in My computer so I don't know how to access it. The same happens when I connect it with my laptop. Both computers run on W7. The chances of 2 DOA drives in a row from different manifacturers is close to none, so there must be a problem with what I'm doing, any ideas? I will next be trying to connect the drives directly via sata.

Yeah, I was wondering what was up with the possibility of using an upgrade disc to do a clean install or installing over a pirated copy. It doesn't matter now since there are many loaders to pirate W7 out there but I love the OS so much I'm actually going to buy a full oem copy for my personal computer! That's right, I'm going to pay for a piece of software that isn't a game, something I think I have never done before! Well, I think my parents bought me Encarta 98 a while back...

Great link BTW, but I think that your quote should have been longer.

In Topic: 10 foot interface with W7 on a TV

Yeah, changing the DPI is one of the things I did last time, but it makes some things too big while others stay too small.
