    Wipe it and repartition with one primary partition and filesystem of your choice.

      What file system, what are the partitions? Is there data on the partitions you want saved?

        In Windows you right click on my computer and select manage. When the snap in loads click on disk management at the bottom. You can then right click on the partitions and delete them.

            **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
            by federalhouse
            Hi everyone,

            I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


            **Background:**

            I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


            **What I've Tried So Far:**


            1. I accessed

            PC case - Hard drive rails
            by tmcw
            A friend gave me his old PC case (with MB, and PSU), but no hard drive rails, he said he only used the 2.5" SSD spot inside, and used an external hard drive for data. He said that he'd have a look for the supplied rails, but I doubt he'll find them.

            So I was wondering if case manufacturers used any type of standard 3.5" hard drive rail?

            I'm used to the various Dell hard drive caddies or rails (and HP and Lenovo to a lesser extent), or el cheapo cases where you screw through the frame to fix the drive.

            Now, the case is a CiT Gaming Case, and...

            HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G2 won't detect a drive after reformat.
            by perfm2
            So I've worked on dozens of HP and Dell laptops and have never encountered this before.
            Steps taken in my usual process.
            Reset security settings in the BIOS
            Ensure existing HD comes up into the OS
            Shut down the laptop and disconnected the main battery
            Removed old M2 drive and replaced with a new 1tb Mushkin Temptest NVME drive. (I'm aware the bus is Sata III but the drive should still work at a slower speed right? Been my experience in other laptops)
            Replace battery connector and close up the laptop
            Insert my USB drive with my Windows 10 image I've...

            Intel iMacs, 3rd party SSD failures and Fusion setups
            by reformatt
            I thought I'd throw out some of my personal experiences in the last 12 months with Intel iMacs, 2.5" SATA SSD drives and Fusion drive data recoveries.

            As a backgrounder, Apple never fitted a 2.5" SSD's to these iMacs. Apple's SSD option was a system of 32GB NVMe blade drive (NGFF connector) and Seagate 1TB 2.5" HDD, married together in software to become a Fusion drive. Non Fusion systems have just the 1TB Seagate HDD.

            So, the most common reason an iMac comes across my bench is because it's either ridiculously slow, or it fails to boot at all. The most...
