And that would be my guess. With the forced updates, the probability of things breaking is exponential. Can you do a system restore before the time this occurred?

I actually think they should bring back the Quantum Fireball HDDs. LOL I have a few that when plugged in sound like a turbine, but I can still read and write data to them. These drives are at least 20 years old.

Once you find the picture files you can upload them to Google image search and do some research on where they were taken, etc.

Which browser are you using? Have you tried another browser?

What you need to do is buy an Iomega zip drive on eBay. Then download w32_iom221a_en.exe from here: http://www.helpjet.net/Fs-30021813-63889532-48092063.html You might be able to run the software in 7, as that website says it's for 7. But it was originally used in Windows 98se and XP. Maybe...

I wouldn't touch Seagate with a ten foot pole. I've had countless Seagate drives fail on me. In fact just recently a Seagate laptop drive has borked on me. I can't even format it. I buy Hitachi anymore. So far so good. Granted everything has a MTBF. That's why I do backups and clones.

Yeah, they're great for long term storage like pictures or home movies, Docs, etc. But not on a massive data backup of course. If one were to have several hundred family, wedding, etc photos and video, then Blu-ray or M-disk is the right way to go. You just can't trust magnetic or integrated...

Doesn't the radio come with software already?

Probably bum F^^$#@ Saudi Arabia. If it's a network provider here in the states I'd ditch it.

Only the fact you shouldn't trust magnetic or chipped mechanisms for data storage of precious memories. I mention Blu-ray because you can store up to 100GB on one disk. That's not storing "a lot of disks." And if kept in a cool, dark safe space they will last a very long time. I'd reburn the...

I'm not sure. I don't think they would sniff your data with the program you run if that's your question, but I don't know about their encryption implementation. A company's encryption isn't open source so the code can't be reviewed so if thre is a back door you'll won't know about it. Not saying...

If it's truly formatted, use this. I have used it and it works. https://www.easeus.com/partition-recovery/index.htm Once you get your data back, for God sakes back it all up to DVD or blu-ray which will require a blu-ray burner in the computer. You can use BDXL which can store an amazing...

I concur. Drive is most likely dead.

I wouldn't trust Bitlocker. It's closed source and more than likely has a back door built in. But it's better than nothing. If you don't have ultra highly classified secrets or some damn thing I guess it will suffice. You might be interested in useing Truecrypt or Veracrypt. I would never touch...

Yes. They are called thumbnails. What you could do is after you use the HDD run Ccleaner and System Ninja. That should get rid of them, but I'm not entirely sure. Here ya go. https://neosmart.net/wiki/clear-thumbnails-cache/

I'm in the other boat. I need to transfer VHS tapes to digital and then burn that to DVD or blu-ray. I have about 6 VHS tapes I used to record the events as they transpired on 9/11. Pretty crazy day. Watching them again there was so much misinformation and speculation about bombs being on the...

Whoopsie! Well, to my credit I did give a little more detail. You didn't mention that you should configure your browser for the new path. Albeit, you have another approach. I don't use that method myself.

Hmmm, I'm thinkng both movies can be accessed through the onscreen menu? If so then you should be fine ripping the DVD.

I would also create a downloads folder to the platter not the SSD and configure your browser to use the platter for downloads and not on the SSD. You don't want to write too much to a SSD. Although, that was the rule of thumb years ago, I'm sure that philosophy has changed. Just install anything...

Is it under warranty?
