"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Anyone know anything about external hard drives?

I got a new motherboard and a new hard drive. For my old hard drive I took it out of my computer and put it into an enclosure with a USB port. I plugged my old harddrive (in the enclosure) into my new computer and it doesn't give me access to the files. It says it's "working properly" in the devices menu but it doesn't open the folder to the hard drive.

Anyone know how I can get access to my old hard drive?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

What do you mean? When I open my window for "my computer" a list of drives comes up. My usb hard drive doesn't show up. I look at it through the devices menu and it says "it's working properly". Strange, no?

How can it be working properly if I can't get to the hard drive?

DId you set the master/slave jumper properly?
The operating system may have set automatically the reading/writing permissions as denied.


Why are you asking THAT on THIS forum? :crazy:

(check it out on google; most likely 50 other people have had the same problem)

That's what I was wondering too. Unless it's a SATA drive.

It could also be an issue between USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. How old is your PC?

Did you drop the HD or zap it with static electricity before you put it in the enclosure? What file system was your hard drive formatted as?

It's also possible that the USB interface on the external hard drive isn't working.

Try re-connecting the hard drive to the PC and see if it boots. That will eliminate hard drive failure. You could also install it in your PC as a slave drive instead of using the USB interface.

Not sure if you need drivers for a USB hard drive to work in Windows, since I don't use that ancient OS anymore. In Linux, I'd have to mount the drive if I wanted to use it, as well as give myself permissions to read/write to it.

Rightclick "my computer" -->"Manage"
Go into "disk managment" and see what it says for that drive letter.
