    Strange error codes using TeraCopy to transfer files to home fileserver

    I also just navigated over to the directory for these errors: F:\Games\Arcade\MAME 0.250 Multimedia\soundtrack\vendetta\12 Bay Area (Stage 4).mp3 13:09:53: Error opening source file. The system cannot find the file specified. Code: 2 13:09:53: ------------ 13:09:53: F:\Games\Arcade\MAME 0.250...

    Strange error codes using TeraCopy to transfer files to home fileserver

    So far, it appears to only be throwing errors with files in the MAME directory, yes. I just navigated over to F:\Games\Arcade\MAME 0.250 EXTRAs and tried to open covers_SL.zip with 7zip and it throws the same error. That's weird. I'm not sure how these files became corrupted. So TeraCopy won't...

    Strange error codes using TeraCopy to transfer files to home fileserver

    I'm transferring about 8tb from an internal 8tb SSD to a new QNAP NAS that's running two 16tb HDD's in RAID1. Over the course of the several days that the files have been copying, I'm getting some intermittent error messages regarding the transfer. Here's a few examples: I'm not sure why these...

    FAT32 drive appearing as RAW on another PC

    Hey! I'm working on a retro gaming computer and the OS is FreeDOS 1.2. I'm using a PCI-SATA card and I've got a 1tb WD Black drive working great on the retro PC, so everything is fine there. The problem is that I've got about 7000 DOS games on the drive and I'm very slowly going through them...

    Diskmark numbers and weird sounds...

    The numbers in the tens of thousands are the ones that I thought were odd.

    Diskmark numbers and weird sounds...

    Hi! So this was just going to be a post about a weird noise, but I was running some tests with CDM and noticed that my numbers were a little whack-o. Drive C is an internal drive, a 1tb Samsung 870 SSD. Drive F: is also an internal SSD, Samsung 870. Drives B: and V: are in an OWC Mercury Dual...

    I'm not sure what's going on...

    I was trying to get an old Win98 Toshiba Satellite to work using a CF Card as the main drive. That, I gave up on months ago lol maybe it was that? Edit: no! That was another SSD we were trying to get working on an office computer.

    I'm not sure what's going on...

    I was able to get PartedMagic working by hooking up a wired keyboard/mouse. This is the result of trying to delete the partitions: I should also say that PartedMagic reported that the drive is about to fail, based on the SMART reading.

    I'm not sure what you're referencing but I think its unrelated. I'm just constantly riddled with computer problems lol

    I'm not sure what's going on...

    Update 1: The USB Media Creation Tool and Universal USB Installer both recognize the proper capacity of the thumb drive, so I suppose I'm good there. The name of the disk wiping utility was HDShredder 3.8.1 by Miray. I just finished deleting all of the partitions, creating a new partition...

    I'm not sure what's going on...

    Hi! I'll try to be brief: I've been having some issues with my main Win10 PC. Strange behaviors such as constant BSOD's when copying files. I couldn't click on the Cortana search in the taskbar. MBAM kept failing to load, saying that there could be rootkit activity. Slow booting. I had...

    Why would my older laptop be so slow?

    Obvious answer, because it's old, right? It's a laptop from 2012. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64, installed AVG Free, Chrome, PeaZip and the Intel wifi driver. Chrome takes twenty minutes to load. Peazip is coming up on an hour to extract a 2gb file. When I ctrl+alt+del, the screen...

    Monitor won't turn on...

    It's been two days of constant computer problems. The latest is: I set up our business computer (HP Z210 workstation) to restart in safe mode. Now the monitor won't recognize a signal of any kind (light stays amber). I switched the SSD out with an HDD from an identical computer that has a...

    EXTRA SLOW PC

    Guys, I have a similar situation. I've got an Epson Apex 286/12. I keep pressing the turbo button but it's just not giving it the juice!

    "you can choose multiple items only if they are all located in the same folder"

    I received the message when attaching multiple files from different locations as an email attachment. Each of my employees' documentation is in an individual employee file and I needed to send off a copy of their photo ID to our insurance company. I clicked to attach files, navigated to the...

    Clicking on restart.

    That was my thought. But here's the thing - it only makes the clicking sound after a soft reset. If I shut down and power on manually, it doesn't make the sound. We've tested this theory extensively and it is 100% consistent. How could a fan make a clicking nose based upon how the computer...

    Clicking on restart.

    But only on a soft restart. If I cold boot, it does not click. https://soundcloud.com/joshua-brown-330/clicking-computer-only-when-i At first I thought it was a fan, but why would a fan make noise only when soft-restarting? Of course it wouldn't. Someone suggested perhaps it's my drive...

    "you can choose multiple items only if they are all located in the same folder"

    Why? What does it matter if the files I'm choosing to attach are in different places? I'm sure there's a logical explanation, but for now I can't seem to wrap my mind around why Windows can't just attach the files from where they all happen to be.

    Archive extraction weirdness...

    I've gone through a portion of the folders manually and was able to find where each of the archives (of the many) were extracted to. It appears that if each of the folders (say, 2015's folder) contain 12 additional folders (Jan., Feb., etc.) and each of those folders contain their respective...

    Archive extraction weirdness...

    What I thought might be happening is that when I highlight all of the archives from within the search results, right-click and then "extract here" is that perhaps it's extracting all of the archives into whatever ZIP I happen to be hovering over at the time. Which I'd think would increase said...
