    Many of my folders/files became inaccessible, I'm not permitted :(

    Take for instance this image file. When trying to open it I get this: "It looks like you don't have permission to view this file. Check the permissions and try again." Then I go to the Properties, Security tab, Advanced, Permissions: "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of...

    Should I consider a 2nd Win10 copy for a work HD?

    Allow me to explain... Soon I'll start a job at home that requires me to use Windows 10 Home. At the moment I have a pc that came with Win10 already. I have 3 accounts, for each of us in the family. I do have backups of the whole HD of course. But to keep things even smoother and further from...

    My Windows Boot Manager is gone!

    Hi all! I am setting up a dual boot system (Win10 & Ubuntu) in a 2 year old desktop pc. I had Windows 10 reinstalled just a couple days ago. In my 1 Tb HD. Then I installed Ubuntu in my 120 Gb SSD. Then Grub was not found, so it would boot straight to Windows 10. Which I was expecting. Then I...

    Is an empty HD better than one that is not to install Win10 ?

    I have a HD with a few partitions and files. I could technically do without these files, but if I could keep them there I wouldn't mind. There's one partition with more than 400 Gb available. Would Win10 be ok if I install it there? Or am I better off formatting the whole HD first? Thanks guys

    When I turn PC on nothing loads, monitor stays black...

    I had just attempted to use an Acer desktop USB Recovery drive, unsuccessfully. Then even though I had set up the booting order to start from another USB drive with Linux, it would read the USB drive, but wouldn't load it. Instead it would go back to the Acer Recovery drive files, and try to run...

    Installing Win10 from a USB Drive given by the PC maker...

    From 2 years ago. Is this the best alternative I have today? I'm concerned about cluttering with all the updates that version would need to catch up. Or that should not be a concern? Or there's another way to do it? About this USB Drive given by the PC maker: it's called USB System Recovery...

    Where is my HD? It won't show in Files Explorer

    The funny part is that it is showing in my "Disk Management" app. Most of Disk 1 is formatted for Linux. But as you can see in the center, there's an NTFS partition. Shouldn't I be able to see that in File Explorer? Thanks guys, JDL

    Why my monitor is not showing a thing?

    Some background on most recent events: I removed my CPU cooler, and the CPU came off along with the cooler. I did put it back. I unscrewed the tiny cooler fan. Then I screwed it back. That's all. I already replaced the monitor, and tried both my graphics card, and the on-board graphics. Neither...

    Is this correct?

    According to page 26 in this PDF tutorial from Tutorials Point, it says the result would be "true", but is actually giving "false". It goes like this: Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then: 1. && (Logical AND) If both the operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes...

    I could use an explanation of MODULUS

    I have read a few definitions, and seen many examples. Part of them do make sense, but not completely. So far the best definition I've seen is this one: ...returns the remainder left over... (of a division) What "remainder left over" ? How can there be such thing on the first place? Maybe I'm...
