From what I can see, it unfortunately doesn't support Borderlands.

Damn.... That's too bad. But from what I can find the motherboards to go with those cpus cost around $80-$100 where I am.

Is Borderlands 1 very cpu intensive? I thoughts games used the gpu mostly. My friend gave me the motherboard/cpu combo out of his old HTPC he doesn't use anymore so I can't really complain. Plus the cpu is apparently soldered into the motherboard so I can't replace it either.

Budget (including currency): 50 CAD Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: only Borderlands 1 Other details: I like to play Borderlands 1 on my xbox 360 on my rare day off but my console just up and died on me. I don't have much when it comes to a budget so I was able to scrap together the following parts either from friends or local electronic recyclers: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6skDRT Motherboard+CPU - ASRock E350 APU combo Storage - 128 GB Silicone Power SSD Memory - 2x2GB Kingston 1066 MHZ Case - Topower TP-1687BB Power Supply - Antec Earthwatts 380 W The only thing I need is a GPU and I've been able to find two that are within my budget. 1 - Dell Radeon HD 7570 for $32 2 - Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 for $50 From researching online I know all the parts are compatible but what I don't know is if Borderlands 1 will run with either graphics card I've short listed. I don't need 1440p 120 hz, but I want the game to run at least as decently as it did on the console. With all the other parts in mind, which card would fit me best?

@Blatcher2 @ManyCoresGuy @Mira Yurizaki So I went ahead and tried the recovery program. It recognized the drive and scanned it to recover the data, but all the data it did find was the wrong format. For example, I had over 300 MKV files on the drive ranging from 2-3GB, those all were recovered as Shockwave Flash Files that I couldn't open at all. So yeah, program doesn't work. Just copied everything over and then reformatted it, now it works perfectly fine.

Sounds good, I'll report back here with my results just in case it might help someone else.

Looks like that's what I'll have to do. I can always mess around with it after the data is safely copied over. I was thinking of trying this program after everything was done, do you think it's worth it? https://www.easeus.com/storage-media-recovery/fix-unallocated-external-hard-drive.html Makes sense, look's like I'll have to simply take it slow. As an aside, what do you think of this program. Was thinking of trying it after the data was copied just to see if it worked: https://www.easeus.com/storage-media-recovery/fix-unallocated-external-hard-drive.html Thanks again!

By shucked, I mean I took it out of its retail external enclosure and plugged it into my case using a sata and power cable. And yes, it works perfectly fine when plugged into USB normally. I tried plugging it into USB 3.0 with a third party cheap external enclosure and still the same problem, shows up as unallocated in disk management. Yes, if I put it back in its original housing it works fine. Even a third party USB 3.0 external dock doesn't work because I thought maybe it was a problem with my motherboard connectors at first.

Hi all, I have a small problem. I have an 7 year old 1 TB HP SimpleSave external hard drive. It's entirely full, and I was trying to back up all the data since the drive is pretty old. Unfortunately it only has a USB 2.0 connection so 1 TB is taking over 7 hours. I shucked it so I can install it in my case and transfer everything over faster, and its a generic WD Green drive, but when I install it in my tower and boot up my system the drive shows up as unallocated. Obviously I don't want to initialize it since that will reformat it. So my question is, how can I get my PC to see it as an internal hard drive without formatting it and losing all my data. Or am I stuck copying everything off of it at 35 mb/s... Thanks.
