Hey everyone. I couldn't find an area that matched up to my question exactly - perhaps I should have posted in off-topic? This doesn't apply to Windows 8 specifically, but I have a question regarding writing zeros. I used the most recent WD-Diag utility to write zeros to a drive. (I did...

Hello all. I have multiple machines on my home network. They are all mine except one. I've shared C on all of mine because you have to have login credentials to get to the drive to begin with. (I share files frequently between all of them.) What I'd like to do is share ONLY one folder with...

I have my trusty WRT54g Linksys router that's about 10 years old. It's always worked well, and has rarely given me any issues. However, according to what Windows reports anyway, I'm only getting between 740k - 1 MB/s transfer speeds. I have about 12 items throughout the house connected...

I installed Windows 8.1 onto a new drive alongside a Linux distro and realized that I didn't specify a GPT partition. What I dreamt up in the meantime was to create a recovery image, use Windows disk manager to change the partition over to GPT, then restore the recovery image onto the new GPT...
