Encountered a Windows 8 issue here. BFE is not running on my friend's laptop. Tried re-enabling it in regedit and restarting the service, even took ownership of bfe.dll in the system32 folder, and still getting an "error code 5: access is denied" message when I try to start the service. I've...

At first I thought you downloaded all of them in one go and were going to tell us how long it took. :p Fantastic article. Thanks!

MaryMillington was correct in that I needed to convert the disk to GPT. It works fine in the bay now. I figured out that I need to enable AHCI on the motherboard to configure the hard drive for hot swapping, so now I'm reading up on that. Hopefully I can do it without having to do a RAID...

Hi jumanji, I could not find any specifications regarding the max capacity of drive supported. The hotswap bay is a Kingwin KF-1000-BK. It is "driverless", and I've discovered it's not even a true hotswap bay; in order to add or remove a drive and have it actually show up in the system, I have...

So, to preface, this is at work. Our video editing guy goes through a lot of 4K footage, and has to back it up externally a LOT. Until now, we've been using these USB 3.0 3TB Seagate expansion drives. I wanted to give him a faster interface for transferring data, so I put this hotswap bay in...

Tried changing the motherboard, but having the same issue. For some reason she thought that the motherboard was the issue so I went ahead and ordered one but the same thing is happening. That's how I've arrived at the probability of it being a hard drive issue.

So this is going to sound a little strange, but I will put it as clearly as I can. I'm working on a gal's computer (HP 2000 laptop). Her problem? When she hit the power button, the computer would not boot. No BIOS screen, no boot screen, no HP screen. Nothing. Just a blank, black, backlit...

If it's working, I'll grab the Windows 8 Release Preview. If it's not yet, I'll hold off for the retail version.

Well, I sadly announce the project took a rather harsh nosedive. When I formally made the new partition, it changed ALL of my partitions to simple volumes and I thus lost the ability to boot from the Windows 8 partition. This was before I read the replies to this topic, of course, and as such, I...

So, in my disk management I have a few partitions. I have, in order from left to right, a Windows 7 partition, a shared data partition, and a Windows 8 partition. Well, the shared data partition is only 110GB, and it's almost full. That said, the Windows 8 partition was 380GB. So, I shrank the...

I tried all that. It got rid of the error message alright, but disabling and re-enabling doesn't cause the device to work at all.

Have you installed the turbo boost driver?

^ Yep, that's the message I'm getting. I was just popping in to see if AMD has fixed this issue yet?

Really, a VPN was causing my crashes? Odd... I'll uninstall it and see if things change. :) So far it doesn't crash 7, though, and considering my ATI driver actually works with windows 7 (and the power saving gpu), I think I just might stick with 7 for a little while. :)

I vote my RAM just magically improved.
