[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1007862, member: 176704"] Paul You may well be correct on the above, but the more I play with the hard disk from the ACER, the more I think it has actually failed - and so I suspect that anything much will be futile because it was on its death bed when this all started, and is now a "wonky" MBR disk after I played with it and not a GPT one (and so WIN 7 or 10 won't install on the Primary Partition in a machine with a UEFI BIOS, and I'm really getting to not like this BIOS type after all the problems I had reverting my little ASUS netbook to WIN 7 after 2 failed WIN 10 upgrades) - I tried to convert it from MBR to GPT with various utilities but failed. Just trying a last resuscitation attempt on it in the caddy connected to my Win 7 laptop before I bin it - even Disc Manager is having trouble reading it, which should not be a problem in a USB 3 caddy on a USB 3 port. Can't even format or delete volumes and partitions - The disk seems FUBAR. [/QUOTE]
