From the last couple of weeks, I am having a weird problem in my PC. Whenever I try to open the F: drive then something shows up saying, "Access Denied" or "Can't be accessible" the problem is all of a sudden and I have no idea what to do. Except for that drive all other partitions including C: are working fine! What is the cause of the problem? What can I do to stop it and prevent it from happening on future? Please, I want these questions to be fulfilled!

To be honest, I only know a thing about SATA and PATA that is, they are the type or versions of hard disk. I want to know what is the actual difference among SATA and PATA and what do they stand for? Are SATA more expensive than PATA? Which has more data processing capacity? How to distinguish among them and finally which is good? Please, I want all these questions answered to my better understanding about hard disks.

Actually, my question is about choosing the right hard drive. How do we distinguish among hard drives of the same capacity? Is it distinguished because of their data processing speed or anything else? I want to know it. Can I know weather a hard disk's processing speed is fast or slow because of its label? Or is it like it has versions in it. Anyway, whatever it has because of data processing, I would like to know.

I downloaded a file through a P2P network. I am launching those files through WinRar but it throws an error stating that the file cannot be open because it is corrupt. Are there any ways to repair it? It's very frustrating to search and download a file only to find out that it is corrupt, most especially when it is 100MB or more or if it take too much time to download it. Do we have a technology where we can know if a file is corrupt before we download it?

I am currently on a trip now. My problem is, the disk utility is showing 10MB on the main hard drive and the volume group is 56GB. Later, the main drive shows I have 56GB left on my storage and the volume group shows I have 10MB of free space. What is happening here? This occurs on my Mac OS X. How can I fix this?

I am encountering an issue with my Samsung external hard disk. It has 1TB and some of the files are in RAW. It notifies me to reformat it but I just can't do that since I have downloaded several movies and television series. I tried resolving it by downloading a backup tool so I can send my movies and tv series on another external hard disk. Then I used the Tool Get Data back and reformatted the hard disk. But the problem is,  my Samsung HD stated that it only have 596GB space. But looking on the Get Data Back, I can see that it still has 932GB that matches to my 1TB HD. How can I resolve this?

Hello! I was advised by someone to perform disk fragmentation on my computer because it might improve my computer's overall speed and performance. Is this true? What exactly does disk fragmentation do? Does it delete files too? What kind of operation are performed in disk fragmentation? These operations are applied on the files on the disk, right?

Hi guys, I recently bought a WD My Cloud 2TB for streaming and backups. I also have another 750GB external plugged into the back to transfer my files over and they are both mapped in my computer. With all this am still experiencing extremely slow transfer speeds that is from 5-6mb/s. I have tried using the My Cloud desktop app but it keeps on crashing or stopping. Any ideas? 

Hi, I have a 160GB Swingline external HD that connects to a laptop with USB (2x). At times, my laptop does not recognize the drive is plugged in and I resolve the problem by unplugging and plugging it a few times. In disk management, the same thing happened and I would like to know how to fix this. I would also like to know how to remove all partitions to use the entire capacity. Currently about 8.9GB is allocated to a partition that I cannot use.
