    Format a 2nd HDD - restore later w/out losing settings?

    Thanks for clearing it up. I suppose I'll look for another solution to my problems. In regards to MBR for storage, well, I have a question. Both my Disk 0 & 1 are indeed GUID, however, I have an external HDD which is MBR (it works fine obviously). Is it just the case with external storage (USB...

    HP Elitebook 840 G1 - SSd / Hard Drive Problems

    Edit: kinda nvm I don't wanna butt in while you're (alphanumeric) guiding him, but I just wanna make sure that we're all on the same page here. Can you show your Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Disk drives? I wonder if alphanumeric means a hybrid setup of SSD + HDD, or an "SSHD" drive? Of...

    Format a 2nd HDD - restore later w/out losing settings?

    Seems so. Can I "safely remove" my HDD while Windows is running as a test, to see if it is going to cause instability? I was thinking of something like disabling it through the Device Manager, but I'm afraid I might corrupt it if I do it like that (plus, what am I going to do if it IS going to...

    Format a 2nd HDD - restore later w/out losing settings?

    Thanks, yes - my concern is that either Windows will crash before I can re-initiate the drive letter, or that I will lose my settings and that something is going to get messed up. I will take a look at the Microsoft support article and see if it is helpful. Thanks

    HP Elitebook 840 G1 - SSd / Hard Drive Problems

    I should have read his specs, sorry. But still, it seems like scott7 needs to clear up some space on the 32GB hybrid drive, is that not so?

    Solved Messed up headphone audio; want to check headphone jack

    It's a german manufacturer specializing in gaming laptops. I haven't heard of it some few months ago, but the reviews have all been very satisfactory, and the specs/prices were such as well, at least for me. Now that I have it, I'm very satisfied myself. Mainly use it for 3D modelling, rendering...

    Solved Messed up headphone audio; want to check headphone jack

    Okay, I have found the issue, so I'm posting the solution here for any Schenker/XMG owner or anyone else. (Though Hotkey's developer is Clevo, so I'm pretty sure it's unique to Schenker computers...) With their laptops comes software called Hotkey, which regulates your keyboard backlight and...

    Solved Messed up headphone audio; want to check headphone jack

    Will do, then. However I do need my PC every weekday and will for the next month or more, so I cannot afford sending it anywhere at the moment. I was wondering if there is a way to resolve this myself. Is it not possible to output audio through the mic out to test my headphones in? Thank you...

    Solved Messed up headphone audio; want to check headphone jack

    Ah yes! I seem to have forgotten a most important detail - the on board speakers are fine - there are absolutely no sound problems through them. I see. By that do you mean I should not have uninstalled it? It did seem a bit useless to me, but if it's crucial to some features I'm not aware of I...

    Solved Messed up headphone audio; want to check headphone jack

    Hello Eight Forums. My trouble is the audio output through headphones - background is louder than foreground (especially in music - I often cannot hear the vocals at all; movies however are mostly fine, for reasons unknown to me; but generally, the sound is always different in some way). I...
