That's why I said you need to make changes to the system first LOL. I've run Win7 from a USB3 enclosure before

I agree. By the look of things you'll have to replace your motherboard and/or disks. Best to have a copy of your data outside the damaged PC before running the broken configuration, in case more stuff breaks down.

Wrote up a big post but it's awaiting moderator approval for some reason. TL;DR: Don't just try any Windows utility, the more your access the drive, the worse your chances are at recovery with better tools later (including sending it to professionals). Choose your recovery methods wisely

I think at this point it's way beyond Recuva's help. GNU ddrescue is great because it essentially builds a clone of your drive and tries to fill in the unresponsive sectors. You don't recover the same stuff over and over when rerunning the program, and you don't end up with missing 90% of the...

Mixing can be unstable, at best you'll have to run them all at 2400MHz, at worst there will be no stable configuration. If your system is digging into the pagefile a lot, which could be possible if the RAM usage is consistently at 12+ out of 16GB, then upgrading to 24GB will make it faster when...

You can take out the non-working drive(s) and connect it (them) to a different PC, then turn on that PC and see if it recognizes it. (Make sure to turn off and unplug both PC's and ground yourself so you don't fry it.) If it doesn't, the drive is probably damaged. If that ends up working, then...

The picture you uploaded won't show for me for some reason, but from the sound of it I'd say take it to a data recovery shop. I would normally suggest gddrescue on Linux, but it sounds like you tried something similar and the tool has done all it can. The more you spinup/spindown the HDD and...

To add to this, as far as AMD chipsets go, I think X470 is the last & best that still supports 7. You can also get ESU updates fairly easy, there are instructions how to do it elsewhere and IIRC they last until October 2024 Re: running unsupported Windows, whether it's less dangerous to run a...

Yes, you can put it in an enclosure and connect it to a USB port. You need to make sure that the enclosure, the USB cable and the port all support USB3 or it will be deathly slow. Then you can press the change boot device key when starting the PC (usually F9 or F10 or something like that, check...

OP, this might work without a reinstall. I'd recommend cloning your system drive or at least C: partition just in case. Familiar workflow, desktop-optimized UI, compatibility with older programs and games, lower RAM+CPU footprint, less telemetry (spyware) etc. The only downside to Win 7 I can...

I don't have any >16TB drives but I've read somewhere (can't find it now) that 18TB has just over 2^32 sectors * 4KB, which may cause some kind of overflow issue. Maybe you do need a BIOS update

It's a 2.5 inch SATA drive, you can get any other such drive (SSDs can use SATA too). You will have to take off the mount from this one and screw it onto the new drive. If you want the data back you can try putting it in a desktop computer and booting the desktop's OS, maybe it will recognize...

Works for me, I just re-downloaded it from that link on 2 different devices :??: Try this https://www120.zippyshare.com/v/WSBEEu3r/file.html or https://mega.nz/#!4PARlQwZ!XEaMYSef3hNKPbooW32Pq94hKU9JQSxexpfamZ70xNs maybe?

Wine 4.21 starts up because it's in your PATH variable. you can run which wine and see the path of where Wine 4.21 is. You can run echo $PATH to see your PATH, it contains all the folders from which you can run programs without having to type the path (i.e. without running /usr/bin/wine or...

The usual way to do this is to set up an encrypted LVM on that drive and put everything in it except /boot. Debian installer offers this as an automatic option. /boot code handles LVM/LUKS so having multiple computers has nothing do to with it. Not that encrypting / without /boot still doesn't...
