I'm looking at getting a new PC and am now contemplating how much memory to get - 6GB or 12 GB. According to info on a Japanese website the more memory one has the larger the hard disk drive is...

Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that I took out the CMOS battery and put in a brand new one. Regarding CorelDraw I searched their forums and people have been having problems. Regarding...

I was in the middle of restoring an Acronis disk image when the system failed. I tried to do this again and it failed. After that the computer failed to go into POST - no beeps nothing. I...

Hi, thanks, no advice about Windows Defender - but I don't have it installed

Cheers,

Chris

That's news to me. What is it then? What's the difference in function between it and Avira?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi thanks for the idea but it wasn't the case in my case. I generally log on with Limited User rights and still got the beep. Even after unchecking all the warnings I was still getting the beep. I...

Thanks, yes the cache version link worked. I didn't see anything there that points to why Avira is beeping at start-up. Also it suggested setting heuristics to high and I had more than a bit of...

Thanks for the idea - no I still get the banned message.

Chris

Nope - I get the same banned message as well.

Hi, not sure what you mean by set up correctly - wouldn't that depend upon an individual user's preferences? If you mean did I set up exclusion folders forautohotkey scripts, then yes I did. Avira is...

Hi, my version is the same as the one you posted a screenshot for. Have you had beeps at start-up? I did do a completely clean install.

Chris

Hi again, just saw a notification for the upgrade on my wife's machine. Seems I was too impetuous and should have waited. I ran Avira specifically on each of the items in my start-up folder but it...

Hi again, I didn't pay for it - I'm using the free version. I got it from this page. Since this is a new version I think it is necessary to uninstall the old version first. I don't think you'll get...

Thanks for the reply, It's version 10.0.0.561. Version 9 didn't make a sound at start up.

Chris

Hello, I just upgraded Avira today and now while I'm logging in at start up I hear a beep that sounds like Avira has found a virus. However nothing is quarantined and there's nothing in the log.I...

Thanks for the reassurance, Paul. Discs are initialised.

Recently, I noticed that the physical hard drive numbers of my drives hand changed. This was caused because I tried to add an e-sata drive. Shortly after this one of my hard drives became "bricked"...

Thanks, I downloaded UBCD4 but it hung while trying to verify itself while installing. Do you you know of any way to get the MHDD32 tool as a stand alone? I did an online search but didn't find any...

Thanks for the link, I downloaded one tool that seemed appropriate but it didn't work, failing to launch after installation. I think you are right about the forced capacity. A power cable was changed...

Thanks, I've tried the hard drive on both an external usb drive and e-sata drive. I partitioned it and ran chkdsk - no errors were reported. I tried formatting it as fat32 and then reformatting as...

Thanks for the reply, I've looked at it with Acronis Disk Director and XP Computer management. Both reported it as unformatted and around 31mb in size. I couldn't find any options for error...

Hello, I have a ITB Hitachi hard drive that is reporting itself as only 31.38mb in size. I'm not sure why this happened but may have been caused by removing the drive from an e-sata like external...

Thanks for the link That explains about how to change a drive letter which I am familiar with. The drive letter, C: D: etc is different from the physical drive number. It was that which changed.
...

Thanks, Paul.This appears to be the case. According to what I read online the physical disk order shouldn't make a difference and indeed I was able to use an Acronis backup to restore my system even...

Hello, I have three physical hard drives inside my computer. They are all SATA. Today I added an eSATA drive and I noticed that this has taken over the drive 1 spot. I would have thought it would...
