My new external 4TB hardrive has only 3.6 TB of free space after I deleted all the junk. That 400 GB of space that the harddrive is sealing off. Is there any way to reformat it & select it to get more space from it?

Thanks that worked! There is an additional drive letter that appear outside the new hard drive that is connected. I now have two local disk drives & a "System reserved (E:) 69MB out of 99MB" drive. Is that normal? What is that for?

Is cloning the only way to transfer data between the two? All I want is a few specific files on the old harddrive, I don't need to transfer everything. Hooking them both up & starting my PC & then transferring between them is out of the question?

Cloning image?? Whats that? I already installed a new OS on my new larger HDD & everything works fine on it. All I want to do is just move over some leftover files from the old HDD into the new one. When I go to My Computer, won't there be two drives to browse? Like when I hook up a external...

I want to add an older HDD in my PC as a secondary. I want to transfer the data from the old one to my new HDD & then reformat the old HDD & use it as a backup. Thing is, the old HDD had a different OS on (I also want to retrieve the product key for it before I reformat it). So when I hook up...

I was using HDMI cables & they were connected firmly. When I turned the monitor on, it just displayed the message when there is nothing connected "display will automatically turn off in 10 minutes".

I left my PC in sleep mode the night. When I tried to start it today, it wouldn't work! I moved the mouse, then pressed a few keys & waited a few seconds. Nothing was starting! So I then tried pressing the power button on my keyboard, then the power button on my PC, then the reset button on my...

$800 IS CHEAP?

Ok so my GPU, which is a 'MSI Radeon HD R7970 Twin Frozr OC Boost' is not being recognized by my PC & it seems by default it is sets the GPU to a generic "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter". I downloaded the drivers from the the official site, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I found a...

This is where I downloaded the drivers & utilities for my graphics card http://us.msi.com/support/vga/R7970_TF_3GD5OC_BE.html#down-driver&Win7%2064 It did nothing to solve my problem.

In Control Panel & Performance Information & tools, under both Graphics & Gaming Graphics, it rates it as 1.0 out of a max of 7.9. The lowest score I can get! This definitely isn't right!

Yeah, I am getting full screen resolution (the default was 800x400p, but I changed it to 1080p. I installed my GPU driver (over 1Gb file) & got a catalyst install manager. I selected express install & it finished. It still is showing up as the generic VGA display adapter in device manager after...

I did a clean install of Windows 7 home on my PC. Afterwards, My graphics card is not being recognized by my PC. I am using a AMD Radeon HD 7900 series GPU. I'm also using this mobo: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4642#ov After installing Windows 7, I could not use the...

If it won't power on at all, no lights, no fans, no sound etc... then it is your power supply. Buy a new one. Take a picture/write down of where all the wires are connected & replace it.

I haven't gotten my new PSU, but the problems are still occurring. The screen now sometimes just "blinks". Like a black screen appears for about a second or two. Now I have not been gaming at all. I have not been using any software or programs other than Firefox to browse the web. That's it...
