| Holy crap, words cannot possible hope to encapsulate the histrionics my computer is undergoing. Because 180 gigs is mere peanuts these days (and I checked, it wasn't taken up by the three things I use), I asked around about whether I should consider getting an external hard drive. Since nobody responded, I went ahead anyways and got myself a 1tb external hard drive. Then I noticed that it takes two days to move a file onto it. That's two days without turning the computer off. Since I knew there was a problem because there'd be no point in selling someone a hard drive that didn't run as fast as the hard drive they were already using, I decided to discover what the problem was, because problems with computers are always invisible, illogical, and irrelevant. So I turned it off and on again. At first I thought media had stopped running slowly, but when I paused to track back to a previous scene it went back to its one-frame-per-second intermittent skipping. I also tried this "TurboHDDUSB" program, but when I set the hard drive to "turbo" it now causes an instant blue screen of death crash whenever I load a file from the external HD. I turned it back... |
