The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Harddive not being detected by Windows

Asked by clientos in Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: ,

Hi!

I have this spare harddrive (8 GB). I recently copied some files on it and gave it to my friend. The harddrive was not detected on his computer. I also tried it on mine when I got it back and Windows XP was not able to detect it either. Any solutions?

Also I have noticed this peculiar thing. My computer is an assembled one. In the CPU case we have 2 lights that indicate whether the pc in one and if any process is going on. Like when the pc is on and there is no process going on, the green light is on. When something is being processed, the red light also comes on. I have seen that now when I attach my spare harddrive, both the lights are continously on. The red one continues to glow even when the computer is idle. (If you do not understand this I will send a pic) I think this indicates that some process is going and Windows is trying to recognise it. Any ideas?

Thanks,
