I am running out of hard drive space and have deleted files which I do not need. Still my hard drive is running out of space. How do I search my hard drive to determine which folders or files are taking up all of my hard drive space? Note, I am on Windows 7.

Hi everyone, I have a G-Technology 6TB G-Drive USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive that had/has an error on it. I launched 'Properties-->Tools-->Error Checking-->Check' and chose to fix the error at next computer restart. I then restarted my computer, and now I can't gain access to the hard drive. I believe my files are still intact as I ran EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and it shows the correct allocated/remaining sizes for the drive and my files.

I have 3 years of rescue/recovery coverage that I purchased alongside the drive that is still valid, but don't want to hand over my drive just yet if there is a simple solution to this problem. Right now the drive just reads 'NTFS' under the drive name. When I try to open it the message reads 'Location is not available. F:\ access is not accessible, Access is denied'

I am running the latest version of Windows 10 Home with all available updates installed.

Any ideas?

Dell H800 with suddenly 20% slower performance.  All cpu's are good, battery healthy, RAID array on MD1200 are healthy.  How do we check the write cache on the controller?  Feels like the old days when the EMC CX500 cache battery died and the cache was disabled.  

With this server, though, (running Solaris), we can't tell if the cache is enabled or not.

Error message:

I have to go into a tedious work around to do administrative work.

Many thanks.

I'm trying to switch my T480 laptop from a Samsung 2TB 2.5" SSD to a Samsung 2TB PCIe, NVMe drive.  It supports either and there's a cassette adapter that I've bought that goes in the 2.5 slot and a separate cable.  In theory the laptop support 2 channels of data, which would be a nice little bump.

I'm stuck on step one though of cloning my drive.  I've got several external NVMe adapters and they're recognized fine, but I've been trying to clone with both Acronis and Paragon without luck.  I know they're 2 entirely different types of drives, but I thought it might work.  I really don't want to start from raw Windows and work my way up.

Is there anyone that's done something like this?  Is there a different product that will clone cross drives like this?  Are these products fine, but I have to use some entirely different technique?

Buffalo Dual Link-Station LS-WXL

Adding Windows 10 machines to network and realise that despite latest firmware that is is still using SMBv1

Log into NAS using SSH to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf following the step-by-step here:
https://forums.buffalotech.com/index.php?topic=24630.0

Restart

Seems to go OK but still can't access via Win 10 and now can't access files from previously connected Win 7 machine

Log in via browser for Buffalo admin console and everything looks OK so data seems safe but inaccessible.
Try to reverse out changes but get error message

configure samba
/etc/init.d/smb.sh: line 53: /usr/local/sbin/NAS_configgen: No such file or directory
/etc/init.d/smb.sh configure fail

Select all Open in new window

Heart sink moment and realise I'm out of my depth.

Priorty to get back to position at start so at least can see files again via Windows from at least one machine, then to get back to fixing the SMBv2 vulnerability.

Have done an non-destructive reset of the NAS and this has reset the root password so know it made some changes but when I list the file my changes are still there.

Everything I've read says the Linkstation uses Samba 3.6.x so SMBv2 should be possible

Here's the last attempt from Putty

login as: root
root@192.168.0.11's password:
root@Moorhen:~# vi  /etc/init.d/smb.sh
#s_config! /bin/sh

I have a 16 TB storage fibre and I added 8 TB more and I tried to expand current datastore from ESXi 6.5 I selected custom 4TB and it shows now 20TB.
But now I cannot use the remaining 4TB anyone can help me add that and make it useful.
 

Is there a list of supported SFP or SFP+ transceivers for the Dell / Compellent SC4020i

I have MSA 2050 with 2 Volumes (vol1 and vol2)which is connected to ESXi6.5 as datastore.
I have added 6 more HDDs on a different expansion enclosure and created one more volume (vol3)
I can see the newly created volume in expansion page. Below are the screenshots, Just want to verify I am doing right
Will I loose my data if I click yes from the above step?
.
Below is the enclosure screenshot.

I've a 3 TB Seagate backup drive and was looking for a file on it. I ran a search with Agent Ransack and it started showing folders that weren't showing in Windows Explorer.

I can go into these folders and see the files, but Windows Explorer isn't listing them. Also going into the command line and typing "dir" doesn't list them either.

I can type the folder names into Windows Explorer and see the contents.

I checked they aren't hidden. I checked the drive for errors - none were reported.

What's happening and how can I fix it?

I'm on Windows 10.
