There are still some free disk utilities available, and I've been using several as I look through my HDDs. One thing I have to remember is to click on the "Commit," "Proceed," or "Begin" button after I make a choice. I'm used to clicking on what I want to do, and program runs. I began doing a Surface Test with Macrorit Partition Expert, and it wasn't going very fast. Looking at the top of the screen, I saw that it would take five days and eighteen hours to complete. 🤣 No thanks!

In addition to Macrorit, I've been using AOMI Partition Assistant and MiniTool Partition Wizard. One program is not enough because some do certain tasks better than others, and some don't so certain tasks at all. I think it was AOMI that kept asking me to upgrade when I clicked on certain features. If the features aren't available, they shouldn't be listed.

The disk I'm working on now is an HGST, 4TB. The computer says it's 16TB, and I'm having trouble making it usable. Right now, I'm doing a deep format. It shows up in utility programs, but the computer doesn't see it.

The system should work better. This is like writing on wax paper with Chapstick.

Since desktops no longer have disk activity lights - at least mine doesn't, I use DiskLED. When my PCs startup, the LED runs wild, then settles down until I copy something.

Sorry about that. I've been kept busy with chores around the house. I'll do better in the future.
