I have an external hard drive installed on my desktop computer and I it won't defrag. It looks like it's skipping files. I used Auslogic's defragger. Is there another defragger that can do it or was it because the files cannot be moved? I'm trying to find a tool that can sort the problem but keep my data at the same time.

My OCZ Agility 3 60gb is plugged in to a SATA 6GB port and I set it to AHCI in the BIOS. I noticed that it's slow and runs more like a SATA 2 so I checked it with CrystalDiskInfo and it says the hard drive is fine. What else could be causing this problem? I need help.

Hi everybody,

I am using Seagate 1TB external hard drive from past 2 years and copying the files/folders from my laptop to the external drive. I was clearly maintaining folders and use to copy the files regularly. Today when I have connected and opened it, I couldn't see any files in old folders. Looks like I lost all my data.

Is there any way to recover the data? How can I make sure this will not happen next time? Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

The hard drive on my computer failed and Dell sent me a replacement. I need to send the defective one back to them. Now, I have a lot of personal files on the old hard drive and I want to make sure it's completely wiped out when they receive it. How do I do this?

I bought an external HDD from Toshiba to serve as a backup storage of my laptop. I have Windows 7 on the laptop and it doesn't recognize the external hard drive. I can hear the hard drive spinning and the light on it is on, but it is not recognized by the laptop. I tried the other USB ports as well, no go. It's not even under 'Devices and Printers'. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm thinking of upgrading the hard drive on my laptop and I'm currently looking at a Seagate 2.5" 1tb hybrid drive. They say Solid State Hybrid is best for laptop upgrades, but how I do install it on a laptop? Do I have to replace the HD that's currently on or can I just add it in using an enclosure?

My M17x came with a 109GB SSD, which serves as my boot drive. I also have two more HDD for games and programs. The boot drive only has a small amount of space left and I wonder if it can cause my computer to slow down. Are there other things I should look for? I haven't installed much on the SSD that's why I'm surprised why the remaining space left is now only 10GB. Any suggestions please?
