  1. Thank you so much! I've been pulling my hair out all day trying to find a free software that just does what ya supposed to!
  2. Ok, so I have been having an issue with Windows update (big surprise, I know) for the entire month of October. So, after the whole debacle with data deletion and what have you, I'm seeing an influx of posts around the web of people running the 1809 update, but mine keeps refusing to install! It shows up, it "downloads", it restarts my pc and then just says a restart is required. Then I looked at the update history, and it is just a string of "failed to install" messages (picture posted below). So, after literally spending ACTUAL HOURS trying to find someone with this issue, I simply cannot. It took quite a while to even figure out that error code 0xc19001e1 means "MOSETUP_E_PROCESS_SUSPENDED, or The installation process was suspended. (Link to where I found this https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-itpro-docs/blob/master/windows/deployment/upgrade/resolution-procedures.md) Does anyone know what is causing this? Any help would be appreciated, as I am currently pulling my hair out between this and several other projects... THINGS I'VE TRIED Installing windows from boot media (Downloaded from MS website) Disabling Malwarebytes Disabling antivirus Updating drivers Sfc scan command Playing with insider preview settings Probably other things I can't remember.
  3. So I asked my mom when the last time she cleaned her computer was, got a vague answer, decided to give it a quick dusting and found this.  This is only a tiny bit of what all came out.

  4. Its a Thermaltake g41 commander. I'm trying to mount another fan in the front right under the CD drive bays to cool my top bank of hard drives.
  5. Just wondering if anyone has seen or heard of a dual 120mm fan "enclosure"? Basically having 2 fans strapped together to make it 120x240. Bit of a design flaw in my mind where my case is concerned and this type of apparatus would solve the issue nicely.
  6. Actually my 2TB just quit, but I'm getting a 4TB to replace it. There are 4 other drives in there for misc. storage, so size isn't really and issue here, lol.
  7. I am looking to install an M.2 drive for boot purposes and some light storage. I have a link here to the Amazon page, just wondering #1 Is this drive even capable of booting from and #2 If this is a good quality product for my money. So if anyone has used this drive and had good or bad experience, please let me know. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFKX41/?coliid=I2DW91Y85CBLI8&colid=F50FCOK898F7&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
  8. well, all the games installed on there were from steam, so it'll take awhile but I can always re download them. How does everyone feel about a WD Blue 4 TB desktop drive? Found one on sale at Amazon.
  9. I just thought, could it be caused by a power delivery issue? I have 5 hard drives on the same power cable (it has 5 plugs along its length), could that possibly be an issue or am I in denial of having a dead drive?
  10. Crap. Is there any possibility I got that hidden file malware I've heard about on just one drive?? Because one time it showed the whole drive as "This folder is empty" then all the directories in the drive were there, but all the subfolders were empty. This is a relatively young drive too.
  11. So, in preface, I am having a horrible evening. I opened Steam this evening and got an error for explorer.exe "integer division by zero at location blah blah blah." So I click ok to terminate the program as it says, and explorer restarts. Ok, no biggie, just an error. Well, then I went to open steam again, and same thing, so I went to the Steam folder to poke around a bit and found now "Steam can't write to it's folder". So I went and checked some other things and now all of a sudden my hard drive is not there (drive E: in this case). Figuring maybe a cable issue was causing this flaky behavior, I shut down and checked my cables, even swapped cables around between the drives. Fired back up and the drive is there, folders are in the drive, but all the folders are empty. Ran chkdsk, it apparently found no error. The interesting part is, the drive (when visible in This PC) shows the correct amount of storage used/free, but everything inside says 0 bytes. I am going offline and doing a full virus/malware barrage for the time being, but any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. I am going to be extremely upset if nearly 2TB of data just erased itself from my PC.
  12. That would be cool, I'm trying to cable manage a little better while I'm doing some minor upgrades and getting rid of that extra cable would help a lot.
