    HDD won't show up in my file explorer anymore


    I tried turning my GPT HDD into an MBR. The reason for this was to make my HDD compatible to my PS3 because I read somewhere on reddit that that would make it work. But eventually it didn't. So I opened and ran a cmd propt as administrator, and I typed in the following commands: "diskpart/list disk/select disk 1/clean/convert mbr". before this my HDD seemed to work fine and showed up in my file explorer, but after i did this it doesn't show up anymore. I tried converting it back to GPT which it was before I changed anything, but that didn't work. I'm not sure what I did wrong with it and how t

    HDD not showing in file explorer.

    I have just built a new PC with an SSD and an HDD. I put Windows 10 Home on my SSD. My HDD isn't showing in the file explorer, and I checked disk management but it never made me format it or anything. I'm stuck, and I need help.

    N97 Bluetooth disappeared, won´t start again

    Today without any reason the Bluetooth disappeared, and it won´t start anymore from the connections menu. Any clue where to start looking. Software V20, and no new update available.
