Hi Pamela, But you are still in windows, you aren't really in Linux with Jaws when you are doing this. Glenn

A minor difference to anyone to whom it really doesn't matter. they are similar enough that packages can be designed to work on either OS. Glenn

Hi Jeff, Jaws only works on the Microsoft operating systems. Linux is more akin to the Mac OS, or I should say, Apple's OS is based on Linux. Linux has a screenreader called Orca, and it comes with ma

My son had a work laptop that got dropped, and the HD was clicking, and not booting, and he needed some info from it. I would have not tried this, but if the alternative is to lose your data, then wha

I for one would like to have that much RAM, as I use windows 7, 10, and Linux, of different versions. So it would be nice to have enough RAM to have all them running at one time without rebooting, and

One option to consider, if someone wants to store a lot of stuff, and not rely on the cloud, is a blue ray burner for a computer. You can get them external, but if I were building a new one, I'd get o

Dave, Maybe you can find them in your sent items folder. Glenn

Well it's hard for anyone using Win PE to remember that you are working strictly out of RAM. That is why when people boot to it, they are looking for their desktop and their programs, because it is ju

Dave, On WinPE you can simply pull the plug so to speak, or even literally when shutting down with WinPE, as it is only loaded in RAM, so nothing would get broke. It's wiped out on power off. Glenn

If you can run Win PE, just use 7Zip for the image. The system I am using now was zipped and unzipped onto a new drive with 7Zip and Win PE. Note, you don't need to zip up pagefile.sys and hyberfil.sy

I wonder if this drive has a switch. I have a few external drive cases that are switched, and they won't connect if it isn't switched to the on position. Glenn

I really haven't been following this thread, but things are slow, so I saw this one. I'll add that I read where magnetic tapes are still strong, and it is incredible how much they can back up. They mi

Yes, I use VmWare on my windows 7, and I have Linux, and windows 10 running in it. If there is no audio, on some computers, you have to go into sound properties and enable something, I forget what it

You have to do that in device manager.

Yeah, I'm investigating to see if my Intel NUC 5 PPYH can also take an M.2 SSD, maybe I can get a small one in terms of GB to benefit from faster boot ups and keep the SATA inside too. Glenn

Yeah, I only reboot mine when it starts stumbling from being on too long, like after a couple months. I think the same is true for mechanical drives, constant rebooting, with the spinning up and down

If folks are really concerned about writing to their SSD too much, you might consider turning off hibernation, which writes to the SSD/HD whenever your computer hibernates. Also, you might set your sw

Well as I had mentioned before, if one often deletes large files, like ISOs and other disk images, then there can be something to be gained, even with an SSD. Glenn

As I stated, don't be scared of it, it's not a big deal if it happens a few times. Glenn

Hi, I would not lose any sleep over having defragged an SSD, it won't break it if you do that, the truth is, that SSD drives are fast enough that you won't get any benefit from doing that, and your SS
