    You said western digital, but what size and model, how old is it? You need to run a diagnostic on it with Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows: http://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx Install and run the quick test then post the results.

    The Return of Voyagerfan99's Minecraft Server

    That's a letdown. I like consoles for a lot of games, but they fall flat on their face with minecraft. It's too bad, I dig holes. My latest is something like 50 x 125 and down to bedrock. Much creativity!

    Safe Removal of Temporary Files

    I believe if it's for a business you're supposed to pay for it, but almost nobody does. Don't clean the registry unless you know what you're doing. Hitting the registry tool's "fix all" button is not the proper procedure.

    Safe Removal of Temporary Files

    I use eraser and I've tested it's effectiveness. I feel that it works at a level acceptable for any normal person or business.

    The best free anti-virus?

    Oh the number of times I've tried to explain this to people... And then there's the programs that "clean the registry". Snake oil for the ignorant, and boy do people go for it.

    HP LaserJet Operates Slowly

    I'll bring the baseball bat and find an empty field... you bring the printer! Seriously 10 minutes?! The best I've done is to enable the "eco" mode, grey scale and only black/white printing on them and it helped a little. I forgot to mention the ink reminder! That stupid ink reminder is driving...

    Who's Ready for Fallout 4!

    I love that they picked Boston. I'm hoping they did something cool with Faneuil Hall like maybe theres a vault underneath.

    HP LaserJet Operates Slowly

    So our office bought a bunch of HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451nw printers. These things do a good job at what they print, but they are exceedingly slow. Anytime you start printing they run a warm up, and if youre printing more than about 5 pages they re-run what sounds like a cleaning...

    Looking for a good FTP download client, W/O SHOVELWARE!!!

    I don't know if you were trying to be funny but the bit about "bonus software" made me chuckle. Made me think of how Billy Mayes would phrase things.

    Seeing IT from another perspective.... or I'm surrounded by the computer illiterate!

    What really irks me is that I've tried to explain that it's just a shortcut to the actual location and shown them where the folder is and how to find things. I stopped "doing it for them" as most people can't learn by watching, they have to do it themselves to remember... but even that only...

    Seeing IT from another perspective.... or I'm surrounded by the computer illiterate!

    I totally understand the "button" scare! Sometimes people delete the shortcuts to their network drives and freak out that they've lost everything. I reddit some, but I don't like it much anymore. It's grown into a corporate machine for advertising. The breaking stories also don't get to the...

    Looking for a good FTP download client, W/O SHOVELWARE!!!

    That's what I use... but it confuses my coworkers to death, I know because I tried to get them to use that method. I kept getting questions like "where are those files on my folder, why can't I save to that?"
