xCare

cool. I'd love to share a few experiences encountering the gaming underworld that led me here, for others to learn from.

the blog feature far I understand means I can write a blog, not just questions, right?

xCare

Oct 28, 2015 13:40

okay, I'll scamper down a few sites and see what info I find

xCare

that reminded me of Tomorrowland. When is Kronos on?

xCare

I presume that means I can write blogs... lol

Status: Bad, Backup and replace.

I am going to lay it to rest however, no use in prolonging misery further :(

xCare

@JourneymanGeek far as I can tell, SMART check categorizes the drive as Bad, backup and replace, meaning it's bricked...but , being it's a software issue, it may still be recoverable in the right hands

xCare

@Bob, yes

@Mokubai how do you add inline pictures to posts?

@CanadianLuke I have a licenced windows, but even that has licence recognition problems in upgrading. Say for example if I want to install Windows xp besides windows 7, it won't let me get past the license input screen

xCare

Oct 23, 2015 16:24

the direct upgrade download for windows 10 takes a really long time 4+ hours here

xCare

Oct 23, 2015 16:23

so you can't copy and save them somewhere if for example, you don't want to re-download them again if it fails to install

xCare

Oct 23, 2015 16:22

but as I was saying, with the Windows upgrade, you can't tell where it's putting the files it's downloading

xCare

Oct 23, 2015 16:21

@Bob yes, I have a Windows installer USB

Tests either cannot read drive or report an error of some kind. that includes GSmart Control. Seagate's Disc Wizard tool doesn't detect at all. Far as I can tell, there is nothing more to do as this point than lay it to rest.
