Sorry, it seems I can't. I downloaded HDtune and ran it, but I had to cancel the format to do it. (Wasn't getting anywhere anyway. Almost 2 hours and still stuck at zero.) Unfortunately, now the drive is unformatted and Windows tells me I don't have the rights to do anything with it. (Although...

Hi, I have an old data drive that's recently developed a slew of apparently bad sectors. I started a full format (in the most BFU way, by right-clicking it in "Computer" and selecting "Format"), but the progress bar's not moved from zero for about an hour now. Should I continue my efforts to...

Hi, just some more ranting out of me, read it if you have nothing better to do :) I agree with pretty much all you're saying about the initial price vs. efficiency tradeoff. The estimates I did show that the higher-end units more or less offset initial price with efficiency savings, though of...

Hi, so, my on-baord speaker port has broken down (only one channel can be heard; wiggling the jack around helps but only so long as it's being pushed in by hand). I suppose this is not that unusual -- 3.5mm jack ports have always been finicky, especially on cheaper HW. Now, I'm hardly an...
