My external hard drive is repeared! And it's almost recovered. I did this with " Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery" the software costs me $119 but loosing 300 GB of data is much worse.
All this problem took me yesterday evening + the night and a half day today.

I would plug in one flashdrive, as required for the specific operation, at a time. 

 

Otherwise you may make an  error.

Hi erico,
I had have installed the new ssd card from Samsung 512 GB but it's not recognized by my motherboard in even not in the BIOS. When I go to the bios and I click by system on the Os boot installer there is showing nothing?? When I put back my original 128 GB this one is recognized in Os boot installer because when you click on it the name of the disk appears on the screen. I will return the 512 GB disk to the shop and will leave it like original.
Next question : how do I move programs to my 1 TB hard disk? And when I install new programs you have not always the choise to choose where you want install it. There are programs(the most now) who install theme automatically to the C: drive. Can I move them to the 😧 drive so I can save space to my C: boot ssd??

Most programs will allow you to install them where you want.

 

What I have done is create a Programs directory on a 500GB SATA SSD.

 

I use that as the install path for programs I install.

 

That is why my 128 GB M.2 SSD does not  become full. 

 

"There are programs(the most now) who install theme automatically to the C: drive. Can I move them to the 😧 drive so I can save space to my C: boot ssd??"   No. You can't.

Open the Windows Explorer.

 

Click on the disk where to want to create the directory.

 

Move the mouse cursor to the right hand side and the click on New the Folder.

 

Name the folder Programs.

 

 

 

What does "I have nerfs of all those problems!!" mean?
