  1. EDIT: never mind forgot to initialize it in Disk Management. Derp.
  2. I recently pulled out two drives in raid 0 from my laptop and installed into my desktop, and they registered and read fine, and all data was preserved. After I backed up some files, I went ahead and changed the drives to raid 1, but now they are not showing up in my computer. Device manager says there is an intel raid 1 volume, but it doesn't show anything in the "volumes" tab. Going into the ASUS UEFI shows that the drive has a question mark on it, but I did change sata to raid mode, and both drives are being detected by the motherboard. Any clues as to why this is happening? I have also tried reverting them to non-raid mode, and they are still not detected by windows.
  3. It's just an application that streams your window to Twitch or other websites. I'll give everything a try when I get home.
  4. Ubuntu is a little bit heavier than mint or its lighter variants like Xubuntu or Kubuntu. If your system is rather low spec, I would suggest staying away from full ubuntu, as a lot of the animations and features will lag, though general application usage seems okay.
  5. I don't really understand the hate either, I've never had problems with iTunes on my PC, or any of my friends that I know of. iTunes file management is fine, and it will work fine most of the time but there will be the odd chance that it duplicates everything. I use clementine on my ubuntu machine (grave mistake in choosing ubuntu for a crappy specced system), and it seems to be smoother sometimes, but I don't feel that its that much better than iTunes. I just wish that iTunes would use auto detect/scan library folder to update new songs, instead of having to manually add them. However, having access to the iTunes store is pretty convenient for me, even though I don't own an apple device.
  6. I have not, will definitely try that when I get home. Say, if i run OBS and use window capture, do you think that might work?
  7. Honestly the development pace is decent, but it's just that they announce releases and features, but take another 6 months after the initial announced date to release something that bugs me. I'd have no problem if they said, "look, we have a lot of new stuff to implement, so DFM is going to be released in may/june", but saying its going to be released in December, then March, then April, then June, is annoying and poorly handled, IMO.
  8. I have tried the HDMI output to my TV, and I do believe at the time the TV didnt detect an input at all. I don't recall optimus being advertised as a feature for the laptop, so its possible it doesn't have it. Are you sure theres no way to switch between the two? I wish I can see my screen to try that . Though I suppose i can attempt it blind with keyboard and see what I can do.
  9. I own an MSI GT683R, and the graphics card recently died, so I pulled it out. Now the computer boots and logs in, but does not show anything in the display or any of the outputs. It has an i7 2630QM, which I thought had integrated graphics, but does that automatically switch over when the GPU is removed? Or do I have to go to BIOS and try to switch it?
  10. Yea thats what i thought. Oh well, guess I'll have to redownload all that horse porn again.
  11. My laptop recently broke, and I would like to recover the data from the hard drives. They are two 500GB HDDs in RAID 0, and I was wondering if its possible to plug them into my desktop and have them retain the files, or will the motherboard reformat them? I'm using an Asus z87-pro if that helps. Thanks for all your help
