Start a thread, and tell them the problem that you are having. Someone will tell you what you need to do to get rid of your problems. They will ask you to do an oneline scanner, or to download a program that will let them 'see' what is wrong with your computer. It may take a few minutes, or it may take a day before you receive a reply for help.

Here is a link to the Program Download Section. When they ask you to download a such, and such program this is where you can get it. Usually they will have the title of the program set up as a link, and all you have to do is just click on it, other wise you can go to the download section.

If you cannot download any programs it is because you did not sign up, and sign in.

Hard drive 101

Most people have thousands upon thousands of megabytes of data on their computer. Indeed, the hard drives we used today to store all that information have grown by astronomical amounts since the early days. Have you ever wondered just how a hard drive actually works? Before we touch on how data is actually read and written to the disk, it's important to cover the basic elements of a hard drive. We will be primarily covering today's platter-based hard drives and briefly cover the new solid-state disks (SSDs) you may have heard about as well.

History of Hard Drives

Hard disks are one of the most important and also one of the most interesting components within the PC. They have a long and interesting history dating back to the early 1950s. Perhaps one reason that I find them so fascinating is how well engineers over the last few decades have done at improving them in every respect: reliability, capacity, speed, power usage, and more.

Advanced Data Recovery

Even with the latest hard drive technology, data loss happens. The best defense is a solid and frequent backup plan. We know that doesn't always happen, though. When data loss strikes, we move quickly into panic mode, trying to retrieve your important files. There are a variety of tools and services now readily available that can help you get them back. We're going to explore data recovery options, from the mundane to the expensive, and weigh the pros and cons of each.
