Misaka Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Turns out that Microsoft office upgrade had a bug in the middle of downloading and locked me out So now it's fixed and added an additional 5 terabytes to it I pray this prevents it from crashing

Did they replace the hard drive? Give you a second hard drive? Cleaned that much porn off of it?
Naraku4656 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Uh, what? Did replace the hard drive? Give you a second hard drive? Cleaned that much porn off of it? i was just about to ask the same question. you can't extend a hard drive passed its data limit. you can use multiple drives and combine them into a larger partition, but you can't make a 500GB hard drive suddenly 1TB

EDIT......I see this has been addressed.
Misaka Posted April 7, 2017 Author Posted April 7, 2017 Wait, wut? EDIT......I see this has been addressed. Yea who knew an software update could lock out a computer
Sieg67 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 I had a bunch of backup drives installed on it about 2 before this incident so I added an additional 3 to it so now it's back and weighs more than before didn't realize they would gut the entire thing ánd rebuild it I'm still slightly confused. So you had two back up HDDs before it happened then put in 3 more HDDs after the first one went bad but then they added the locked one back into the system and that somehow got you 5 extra TBs?
André Toulon Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Yea who knew an software update could lock out a computer That's......Not what I was "wutting" about but You're not one of the people I usually pick apart so I'll just assume I'm missing something by skimming these threads.

I'm not a computer geek after the main problem was fixed I had it upgraded to something a bit more sturdy
Sieg67 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 You should become a computer geek so you won't have to pay somebody to do stuff for you. Plus building is fun.
Misaka Posted April 7, 2017 Author Posted April 7, 2017 You should become a computer geek so you won't have to pay somebody to do stuff for you. Plus building is fun. I already got fried changing a breaker box into a new one I'm not going for a second round of nearly getting jolted
Sieg67 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Turn the power off, hit the rocker switch on the PSU, unplug it and then drain whatever residual power there may be left by hitting the power button on more time before working on a computer. It only takes a couple of seconds. The only way you could get shocked after that is if you for some reason decide open a PSU to poke at the capacitors inside. I don't remember how many computers I've worked on but I've never been shocked by one because I'm not an idiot.
lupin_bebop Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 ....................The fuck? How could you ADD storage space? Did you get a new hard drive? Did they give you a better one? Your statement makes no goddamn sense.

Sieg67 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 You still gotta plug it in in the end so getting shocked will happen Only if you actively try to get shocked.
André Toulon Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 What kind of resources did you have going that caused Office to crash your HD. With 2-3 backups I fail to see how you were having these issues unless they are are cheap or shitty refurbs. All of these concerns still don't explain to me why you are waiting for it to be returned when this is a simple fix. Also, lol at getting shocked......Before I went into networking I was EET and had 8 months journeyman status........The only thing that's ever shocked me is my microwave when I was drunk.
