Hey guys, Rico here. I understand that not all of the apps featured are to your liking. Only Hornil StylePix (which I listed a couple of weeks ago) has stood out for me. But that's why we'd like to hear from you. What apps can't you live without? It's clear that the Tom's Guide community likes...

You might have to mount it on Disk Management. Go to the Start Menu then click on Run. Type in "diskmgmt.msc" then press Enter.

Please search for this topic on the forums. This has been covered many times.

Just as a clarification, everything's plugged in via USB?

The only suggestion I have right now is that your newer hard disk requires more power load that your power supply can't provide?

Have you checked computer hardware retail sites like NewEgg.com?

Well, if you're looking to read high-capacity and high-speed SD cards, look for readers that support SDHCs (Secure Digital High Capacity). Not sure what you need to look for other memory card types though.

I think it's better to concentrate on streaming media directly to your display, not through a gaming console. Or are you talking about DLNA?

Could you take a look at this step-by-step on creating a Windows 7 flash drive installer and see if you followed the directions to the letter? You'll have to "activate" the partition after defining it.

I'm not sure what's the case with Windows 7, but AFAIK Windows Vista already stopped requiring the insertion of a floppy disk with RAID drivers. I'm not sure why 7 doesn't have the drivers you need for your setup, but if so, you can at least buy/borrow a USB FDD to load the drivers from.

Wouldn't this be different based on the hard disk being tested?

You can visit various online retailers like NewEgg.com, or even search on eBay if the CPU is no longer officially sold.

The reviews are usually a good indicator; so I guess the best course of action is to not scrimp on this, like how some people scrimp on their PSU. Also, do you realy need those additional SATA slots now?

Most probably. You might also want to try it on another computer just to be sure. Next time, try formatting it on Windows and select the FAT32 format, which works both on Windows and Mac PCS
