Thanks for the assurance that it is possible to attach more than one external drive. I do not have enough hard drives to saturate the address pool - yet ;-). I will give MSI tech a shout and see what their response is - the other boards are all Intel labeled boards so you have an inkle of their...

I have found external hard drives to be an easy solution to ever growing data archives. I have both WD and Seagate drives from 3 to 8 Terrabytes. Recently I have had ocassion to use two of these drives on a single PC. Through a variety of configurations - and other attempts, I have never been...

Considering the multiple terabytes on HDD I have - my retired income makes that beyond my $$ reach. Remembering the first HDD I purchased here was in the range of $600 for which I took home a 300 Mb drive - and thought I had all I would ever need. Oh yeah!

If you use the Disk Management approach - be aware that you are only allowed to place 3 logical drives on one physical drive. I partitioned an 8 terabyte HDD to have 4 roughly equivalent logical drives. I used three of the four, keeping the 4th in reserve (I thought). When I returned to the...

Thanks to all for your thoughts. Why would I sign on for the Assure program - most of the issues I encounter are not trivial - and I spend an inordinate amount of time before determining that I need assistance. Although I have long since left the working world - Drs orders and age - I still base...

During a recent support chat with MS Tech support the rep presented a 'new' product called Assure. Per his comment - the web page for Assure is not ready yet. Per the promotional blurb presented - $149 per year gets one preferred service etc. I said that I was interested and needed time to...

At the moment I am using the latest version of Firefox. This afternoon I purged IE and Edge from the taskbar, not using why clutter. Was IE the only browser ever that allowed one to establish a series of sites as homepage easily? In my opinion the early releases of Edge were much better than the...

My experience with Edge obviously was not as rewarding as yours. I have attempted using Edge from preview to the latest consumer release. At this point Edge has finally allowed some of the extensions that IE had long assimilated and integrated. Only the latest release allowed me to F11 shift...
