Subject: RE: Tech: Hard drive not detected
Hmmm... sometimes people don't tell you the full tale... maybe because they haven't thought it through!
A friend of mine was having trouble with his printer, and the trouble only started after he was clearing some space on his hard drive.
Reinstalling the driver hadn't worked, and rolling back XP to a date before the problem had also been unsuccessful.
He'd noticed the hard drive was getting full after he started downloading images and video at hi-res from his new camera, so he cleared some space.
However, to plug the camera in he had to unplug the printer...!!
Just thought I'd share that with you!
On the up side, he got 1.5Gb of drive space back when we deleted all but the most recent restore point, a thing he'd never done in all the life of the PC. It's a good thing to do if you know the machine has been reliable for a reasonable time.
