Hi, I have an old desktop sitting in the attic that I remember having a lot of data stored on it (though I can't remember exactly what data or how valuable it was), and I'd like to connect the drive to my laptop just to browse it and see if there's anything worth slavaging on it before I...

Hi, I just bought a 2TB Iomega Prestige hard drive to use for streaming video through my PS3. I've been trying to convert it from NTFS to FAT32, and every step-by-step guide I've tried to follow has failed. What I've done so far (following different sets of instructions) is: I've gone...

I just picked up the drive and shook the shit out of it and gave it a few thumps and now Windows is seeing it again. :D Instead of a clicking I'm hearing a scraping sound when it's loading. I guess I'll be moving all my stuff off it pronto.

My MyBook has been doing exactly the same thing; clicking three times, pausing, then clicking three more times. But mine wasn't dropped at all. Are you guys sure there's nothing simple that can be done to get it to connect to Windows again...?

Thanks! I've been able to recover the document I was looking for, but when I open it it's all gibberish symbols. This is an essay I spent about six hours writing a few days ago. Do you know what the problem might be?

Something happened to my dad's computer this afternoon. I'm not sure what exactly, he was pretty clueless, something about a program opening up by itself and deleting a load of system files. He called the helpline before I went to work, and when I came home he'd reinstalled Windows. I had some...

Thank you! That's working. Is there any way to capture them in a higher resolution? They're quite small by default.

No, that's not working. I'm still just getting running video that becomes a solid black rectangle when I close the media player. For the amount of stills I see all over the internet this process can't possibly be so difficult.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Will this allow me to capture stills from video without turning off hardware acceleration?

Yeah, I use that and I saw that function, but I can't find any of the images that I've supposedly captured.

Hi, What I want to be able to do seems fairly simple. I want to be able to play a video on my PC, whether from DVD or from an avi/mpg file on my harddrive, and capture still images from it. The snapshots kept coming out as solid black. I figured out that this was because of 'hardware...

Thank you.

Any ideas?

Actually, I have another question. If I want to rate the films out of ten, how can I stop Excel automatically turning "8/10" into "08-Oct"?

I don't know. I actually don't want a drop-down box. You know when you highlight a cell that has text running beyond its borders, and the cell expands to show it? I want that to happen downwards to show the hidden list of alterate titles.

Yeah, I think so. Can that be done in Excel?

Hi, I keep a film database in Excel, and the way I have it formatted right now is that I have the original language title in size 10 black font and all alternate titles following it (in the same cell) in size 8 grey font, each alternate seperated by backslashes. This looks messy, and I'm...

I managed to get it working.

My current firmware is 0052.

Thanks for the help, but when I go to flash the drive, it says: This firmware can be used on below drives : (1) DVDRW IDE1008 . Check Sum : 8DE Please wait a minute..... Execute command errorA!! 5/20/ 0 Flashing is incorrect!!
