  - by Sunny Molini

  I have heard many claim that it doesn't matter how full a drive is until it starts cutting into temp and virtual memory space.

  - by sigint

I'll be buying a 1TB USB external drive, and it'll be plugged into a mix of Windows 7…

• How do I change the space I allocated to my virtual hard drive in VirtualBox?

  - by Guest

  Hi, I have a Win7 x64 virtual machine running inside VirtualBox. When I first setup the system I gave the virtual hard drive 20gb of space to work with, but I also set it to dynamically expand (or so I thought). Unfortunately I ran out of space and the drive is not expanding/changing.. and I can't find a way to alter the size of it.…

• Keep Windows Installer from using largest drive for temporary files

  By default Windows Installer uses the largest drive for temporary storage, no matter if that's needed (meaning there would also be enough space on the system drive). Taken from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371372%28VS.85%29.aspx: During an administrative installation the installer sets ROOTDRIVE to the…

• Drive security settings in Windows 8 Pro

  - by Donotalo

  My PC OS is Windows 8 Pro x64. Windows 8 seems confusing. D:\ drive is supposed to be used solely by a single user, who is in Users group of the PC. The requirement is... that user will have full control of D drive. Admins will have full control of D drive. All other users can only list drive contents. No file…

• Test-Drive ASP.NET MVC Review

  - by Ben Griswold

  A few years back I started dallying with test-driven development, but I never fully committed to the practice.

Back in my web forms days, I…
