Okay so you guys are probably going to hate this, but I swear to you it's the truth. It turns out the hard drive was working fine the entire time. It auto-detected my second monitor as the primary and I didn't have that monitor turned on while I was doing testing because it has built in speakers...

I guess I'll try a clean install tonight and hopefully it recognizes my activation or maybe I can find some way to check my activation code prior to doing the clean install while in safety mode. I just rather stop using my 5 TB HDD as a 2 TB and as my primary program drive. I already had one of...

Okay that makes sense. I'm not exactly a terminology person. I also thought about just buying a pre-loaded one from eBay and doing it that way. I don't know if I still have my Windows 7 activation code lying around somewhere If I do a fresh install it's going to want me to put the code in again...

Migrating?

So it doesn't matter that both boards are z77 chipsets and they were both manufactured in 2012? Is it just because one is ECS and the other one is ASRock?

Yeah I've ran the same 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo in a Lenovo X230T, and 8th gen Acer Nitro 5, and even my last desktop which had a gigabyte z97 motherboard, with the same copy of Windows 7 professional, The only thing I've had to do is remove drivers that were no longer valid and download and...

No I haven't yet. Do I have to do that each time? I've never had a problem swapping loaded hard drives between laptops I didn't think it would be any different with the desktop

I've had consistent issues with two different brands of z77 motherboard. The first one is an ECS Z77H2A4. The second is my new ASRock z77 Xtreme 4. I had the ECS first and it has developed the problem of having BIOS burn in. It will only accept my five terabyte HDD (which it forces me to...

Not yet I know it's only the windows ones. I watched a teardown for an N22 so I know it has one for sure.

Hey everyone I'm looking at buying a Lenovo n23 yoga Chromebook. These are verified to have an available m.2 sata slot on the motherboard with the screw position being for a long style SSD. I was wondering from the experience of anyone who has had a Chromebook ever and upgraded it with a new...

I am running a Zotac 1050ti low profile 4GB, it requires no additional power. I have to play Fallout 4 on low settings but it works for my mini chassis

Im looking at getting into the mini pc game. I've built a pretty respectable lanbox and SFF, but i have been looking at an HP Elite 800 G1 mini with the i5 4590t. With integrated graphics, can i expect to be able to play skyrim on low settings? I think it will (barely) handle it...

Doing a file cleanup on my PC and uninstalling programs that I'm just never used. I went to uninstall bandicam and as soon as I click the yes uninstall button it completely freezes the computer and I am unable to do anything without a hard reset. I even went so far as to download Revo...

Bump

The hard drive is dead. Amazon no longer carries it so I am sending it back to Toshiba under warranty.
