I did both and the files and folder STILL won't go away. Please tell me I won't have to format this 4T hard drive and copy all of the other 2T data all over again, please no.

I have a folder of "corrupt" files and nothing I do will get rid of them. I WANT THEM GONE!!! Note: I don't believe it's the hard drive, this is a new one I've just started using it. I think it's where it tried to copy corrupt files from a previous hard drive which WAS corrupt (and which I've...

Yes, in making the initial backups, which is the most drudgery-filled part as you're talking a good 2T worth of data, I tend to break it up in parts. In other words, my photos, I have 13 years worth of them, I did not have it copy all 13 years worth at once. I typically did one year at a time...

As I posted earlier I finally got a backup setup going now that my PC is reading the WD 4T internal hard drive correctly. As it is, the "main" hard drive that is meant for my wife to use for accessing JPEGs etc is an external 4T in an enclosure connected to a router's storage link. In a separate...

UPDATE: I got the external working (the 2nd one, the original one is still connected as an internal), it was a simple thing that probably no one else in here would have any issues with, but just in case, I'm posting about it. All it was is that in Disk Management apparently I was supposed to...

Thanks for the insights, gentlemen. I'll keep this in mind, maybe I'll end up getting a different enclosure and keeping this one in the same "spare parts drawer" my old G-band routers are parked (in case my three N routers with storage links all croak). Meanwhile I'm pleased that the hard drive...

Thanks for the tip, I never would have thought of that. According to the Amazon page, it has a maximum capacity of 6 terrabytes, so I should be OK.

You may be right, I'll look into that. Sorry, too, for melting down, boy was I frustrated. Meanwhile, I have things going somewhat. I decided to break down and go the internal route. At first I was stuck not knowing how to "set up" the hard drive in terms of partitions etc (in recent years I've...

I apologize if I sound "out there," but PLEASE, can someone HELP ME? I am about to lose it, as in throwing every hard drive I have against the wall. This is driving me crazy. Why can't it just be that you plug in the hard drive and then GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE!! UGH!! THIS IS NUTS!!!!! I just...

Update: there is something showing up, but it doesn't make any sense and there doesn't seem to be any options to doing anything to any of it. On a hunch I opened up Disk Management with this drive unhooked and took a screenshot of it, then re-did this with the hard drive on, and compared the...

I apologize, I was posting from a phone and it kept "double-posting" etc. The hard drive (WD40EZRZ) shows up in Device Manager (as a SCSI) but DOES NOT show up in Disk Management. I even rebooted, did a rescan and refresh, but no matter what I do it WILL NOT show up in Disk Management (but DOES...

I have two WD 4T 3.5" SATA HDs which I bought from here some months ago. Finally I got around to "deploring" them, putting them into action. From NewEgg I got a Rosewell RX307 USB enclosure. Upon powering this on, the enclosure itself gets picked up by Windows (8 or 10, I tried it on different...

Exactly a month from today, I'm going on a vacation. I will be taking many photos, "offloaded" to a notebook PC (I use real cameras, not smartphones, for my photos) but I desire it to be the case that at least 2 other people, at their PCs, can also view these photos, and do so without me having...

OK, let me ask (I am researching to try and find out on my own), when viewing playlists, albums, artists etc does Poweramp insist on "grid" view as many apps do nowadays or does it allow for a "list" view? I STRONGLY, STRONGLY, STRONGLY prefer a "list" view and I absolutely CANNOT STAND "grid"...

I don't have as the goal the ability to edit tag information on the portable device. That would be too awkward unless it's a quick simple fix. I'm content with that sort of thing being done at the PC level. What I want is playlist management and addition of new MP3s to be a much more seamless...
