  2. I am unable to access the Local Drive Z. Please help.

    Drive Z is not a malware it's a Microsoft hidden partition for booting the computer, for some reason it becomes visible at times. You can try rebooting your computer and see if it hides Drive Z again. If not, you can try the following steps
    below:

    • Type CMD on start menu to open Command Prompt.
    • Type Diskpart and hit Enter.
    • Click Yes if you are prompted with UAC (User Account Control)
      dialog-box.
    • Type List Volume and hit Enter.
    • Select the drive that you want to hide, type Select Volume Z
      or Select Volume 8 (change 8 with the volume number of Drive Z)
    • Type Remove Letter Z.

    Let us know how it goes.

  3. Memory card drive z has an X and cannot be accessed

    I followed your steps and now the Z (memory card) drive is gone from the menu list. The drive slot still lights up on the computer when I put in a memory card.

    LogViewer for GPU-Z available !

    I tried Nvidia Inspector (which is very close to GPU-Z), but it logs with a different column delimiter. With the following steps you can "convert" a Nvidia Inspector logfile into a GPU-Z logfile:

    • open Nvidia Inspector logfile (typically "NVIDIA_Inspector-MonitoringLog_....csv") in a good text-editor (UltraEdit ,...)
    • find/replace column delimiter: find all semicolon ';' and replace them with comma ',' (in a good text editor you can do this in one step "replace all")
    • save changed logfile with extension ".txt"
    Now you can open the saved logfile as a "GPU-Z logfile" !
