    Windows 7 worked so well. Windows 10 is the worst OS MS has ever published. I Hate it!

  2. Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!

  2. Hard Drive not initializing or doing anything for that matter. What do I do?

    Hard Drive not initializing or doing anything for that matter. What do I do?: Long story short, Hard Drive started acting funny, added another, then got a huge one compared to the other two. As you can see in the pix I attached, not letting me do anything with it, and I need the space super bad. Can anyone help?...
