    Hey everybody! I have a Dell Inspiron device running on 7th gen i5,8gb ram and a new ssd. It is my secondary device sitting idle besides my mac. What good use can I put it to if I do not want to sell it now or give it to someone else for the time being secondary device use? :p

  2. Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

    Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

    Steps to confirm issue:

    • Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
    • Secondary drive not visible in device manager
    • Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

    Steps to replicate issue:

    • Installing 1909 update

    Steps to resolve issue:

    • Uninstall 1909 update

    Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

    Radeon secondary...?

    Hi All:

    I have a Radeon 9550 in my XP SP2 AMD 2900+. I looked at System, Device Manager and under Display Adapters I see the Radeon and then a "Radeon secondary" listed. What's up with this? Does this mean anything? Should I delete the "secondary" or is it serving some function? *Eek! secondary device use? :eek:

    Thanks for any advice.

    Bob
