    [SOLVED] Disk somehow smaller than identical drives?

    I wasn't able to easily figure out CrystalDiskInfo, and HDD Capacity Restore did not function, giving me the following error: 'error opening driver', my apologies. In my other reply you will find DMDE's info though! To answer your questions: all 3 drives were new, bought specifically for this...

    [SOLVED] Disk somehow smaller than identical drives?

    Here are the DMDE's partition info of all 3 drives: View: https://imgur.com/a/HD2oQaG Drive 0's is significantly larger, seems like the lost space went there, but I doubt just removing that partition is a wise idea. How do I get it to the same state as the other two, so that, presumably...

    [SOLVED] Disk somehow smaller than identical drives?

    I'm sorry if I wasn't specific enough, but I'm trying to (re)create a RAID5 array. The option is greyed out in Disk Management (presumably because the motherboard doesn't support it), hence why I am trying to rely on Storage Spaces' Parity option. However, since it is unable to access the...

    [SOLVED] Is it possible to preserve my RAID 5 array?

    So I recently upgraded my gaming desktop from a z97 gaming 5 motherboard to a x570-a pro, and to my alarm, my RAID 5 array (3 1.5 TB HDD's) isn't supported by my new motherboard! I made it using Intel Rapid Storage Technology, and had all of my data on there, thinking it was safe. Now I stand...

    How do I make the most of my dual-monitor setup?

    I recently was able to start using two monitors on windows 7, but am running into a number of issues, especially while gaming: -Is there a way to lock the mouse to one monitor without blacking out the other screen? I want to play games fullscreen on one monitor while having other screens like...
