Hello everyone, I have a new computer that I built. It has a 120Gb hard drive where I have installed windows 8. I have created a EaseUS WinPE Emergency on a 8 Gb Kingston usb flash drive. Using my WinPE Emergency usb drive, I have cloned the SSD on to a 128Gb usb drive. I did not select...

Hello everyone, I have a computer that acts as a home media server with 8 storage drives in it (ranging from 1-4TB). I have windows 8 x64 Pro installed. I wanted to simplify my system and use Dynamic Disc to span across several drives as I now use Drive Pool to do this. In drive pool, if a...

No one has any ideas?

Hello everyone, I am trying to trace down my computer waking up unexpectedly at random intervals. I am hoping that there is log that I can look into or turn on that will tell me what is waking or how often my computer is waking up. Thanks Steve

OK I found this: http://www.eightforums.com/network-sharing/13958-win-8-tcp-ip-network-adapters-settings.html and it links to this Error Message: In Order to Configure TCP/IP, You Must Install and Enable a Network Adapter Card Now my question is the solution seems to be to revert to a...

Here is something that might help. I have access to the internet and I can get to my network computers if I type their address into the file explorer bar for example one of my compters is called Alpha1. If I type \\Alpha1\OS.Drive I can navigate to the C: drive on my computer Alpha1. I just...

Hello everyone, I have run into some networking problems and I think I have narrowed it down to the homegroup provider. I have 4 windows 8 pro x64 computers connected to a router. Up until now, I have been able to disable the homegroup provider service because I don't want to use the...

Hello everyone. Currently I have a home network and need to do some rewiring but wanted to know if a software solution exists. Right now I have the following setup +------+ +--------------+ +--------------------+ |Modem|----------->|Wi-Fi Router |+-------->|Desktop...

I really appreciate you help, but I don't think I have stated what I need correctly. Let me try again. I need to find movie files that are the same movie, make a list of these same movie files so I can decide if I want to keep both of them. These "duplicate" movie files will NOT have the same...

Let me expand on my issue. I have a hard drive with a lot of media files on it (avi,mkv,mp4,etc). Currently the file structure is to have the title of the media file on a folder with the associated media inside the folder. For example Folder titled 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968) [tt0062622]...

Thanks my2cents. You are correct that powershell can do a lot, however it is a lot overwhelming for my level of scripting. The examples that I see usually are looking at a text file for instances of a pattern, where I need a more complex pattern. I need to compare every file against every...

Hello everyone, I have a lot of files who are stored into folders (~ 2-3K worth of folders with 2-20 files in each folder) and I need to search in each one to see if there are any files that are similar in name. None will be exactly the same so I need to only compare the first 10 characters...

I will try. Won't be for a few days and I have to leave so please check back later. Thank you very much -S
