    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!

    only save documents on one drive not on hard drive

    Can't Save Word Documents to my hard drive

    Every time I try to save a document to my hard drive - I get the following error message:

    You don’t have permission to save in this location.

    Contact the administrator to obtain permission.

    Would you like to save in the Documents folder instead?
    [Yes] [No]

    I am signed in as the administrator and have updated permissions. I have also changed settings to that my documents folder is default.

    How do I prevent this from happening and resume saving documents to my hard drive?
