I really need some help. I have a WD My Passport 1TB external hard drive. I was using it normally, and suddenly I noticed that some of my folders and files are missing. I didn’t delete anything. I just unplugged it and plugged it back in later, and that’s when I saw the issue.
I tried checking for hidden files, and ran a scan using Windows error checking, but nothing changed. I haven’t saved or moved anything new to the drive after this happened.
Not sure what else to do. Has anyone had this happen before? Any idea how to get the files back?
I have a flatbed server with four hard drives set up in a RAID configuration. One of the drives is freezing and has become unresponsive.
I was told that if one drive fails, the whole array could stop working.
Is there any way to clone the bad drive and get the system to boot, or will it keep giving me issues no matter what I do?
We are creating a new volume like Storage Production, until a QNAP message assaulted the doubt. Do you know which of the 2 Raids have lower data loss risk? in my understanding, RAID 10 is safer, well use half of disk in mirroring, meanwhile the minimum fault tolerance of RAID 50 is 1, and the max, it depends on the amount of subraid, but no case I would have as much fault tolerance as a Raid 10. Im right? If so, why the NAS considers that Raid 50 is safer than Raid 10?
On April 28, this year I used CleanmyPC and it deleted pictures from the “My Photos” folder, I had several pictures in there, how can I recover it? My PC is windows 11 and 8GB RAM.
I need those photos urgently as they are very much precious to me. Can anyone help?
Is it possible to run multiple instances of wdckit.exe simultaneously in separate Command Prompt windows, each performing operations such as the format command on different WD SATA 512e non-RAID hard drives, with the goal of converting them from a 512-byte to a 4096-byte block size? The system in question is a desktop computer equipped with an Intel chipset that provides the SATA interface, running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
Hi,
I’m trying to fix my Windows PC, and I keep getting this error:
“The requested system device cannot be found.”
It shows up when I run some commands like bcdboot or bootrec in Command Prompt. This started after I changed some partitions while reinstalling Windows.
I can still see my hard drive in Disk Management, but I’m not sure what’s wrong.
Can someone please explain what this means and how to fix it in simple steps?
Hi,
I updated my HP ProBook to Windows 11 recently. After the update, the system failed to boot and showed a recovery or repair error. I used a USB recovery drive to fix it, and the laptop finally booted.
But now, all my personal files are missing. Documents, pictures, and downloads are gone — even though I didn’t format the drive.
Is there any way to recover the lost files after this kind of update issue? I haven’t added or changed anything on the laptop since recovery.
Hi,
Just wanted to check if anyone else is facing this. After installing the April 2025 updates on Windows 11 24H2, I’ve been getting random BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) errors.
It usually happens after boot or while using the system for a short time. I didn’t have these issues before the update. Nothing else has changed on my system.
Is this a known issue? Any fixes or workarounds that have worked for others?
Hi,
I’ve started getting a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) related to intelppm.sys on my Windows PC. It happens randomly, sometimes during startup or while using the system normally.
I haven’t made any major hardware changes, but I did install some recent Windows updates.
Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? A simple step-by-step solution would be really helpful.
I’m dealing with an issue I’m hoping someone here can help with. I have an external hard drive (WD My Passport, around 2 years old) that suddenly stopped showing up on my Laptop. I’ve only been using it for backups over the past year, and it’s definitely not full.
When I plug it in, I hear a few clicks, but nothing shows up in File Explorer. However, I can see the “Safely Remove Hardware” option in the taskbar listing it as “My Passport.” So it seems like the laptop is detecting something, just not properly.
I tried checking Disk Management, but I’m not familiar with what I’m looking at. There’s no drive letter showing, and I don’t want to risk messing it up by clicking around.
There’s no physical damage—no drops or spills—so I’m guessing this is some kind of internal or software-related issue.
Appreciate any guidance or tips you can offer!
I’ve been having a bit of a frustrating time with my MacBook keyboard. Some of the keys keep double-typing, like when I press “e” or “t,” it types them twice, like “lettter” or “greeetings.” It’s making typing a real pain, especially when I’m trying to work or write emails. I’ve tried restarting my MacBook and even cleaning the keyboard, but the problem keeps coming back. I’m not sure if it’s a software glitch or something wrong with the hardware. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
