I've been able to perform a full scan an and my PC is now working flawlessly except the keyboard. I get the star sign anytime i press the key "C"


Some keys (colored in the pic below) are also equally not responding.

The easier way to troubleshoot would be to try external keyboard. If you don't have, check on the nearest café. If external works then you need a new keyboard if not then it's the keyboard connector on the motherboard

Sorry I meant to say if external keyboard works then it's either your keyboard is faulty or the keyboard connector is faulty

Just disassemble the laptop, remove the keyboard and blow it

Roll back to previous os (how long after upgrade)?
it was on windows 7ultimate,some keys stopped responding immediately after the upgrade

Did you try going back to your previous OS?
It can also be that your keyboard coincidentally spoilt during the upgrade
thanks for attempting to help, but how can the keyboard spoil during an upgrade? Can't comprehend that

I meant that your keyboard could spoil just when you're about doing the upgrade and you'll think it's related to the upgrade. These electronics can really confuse people at times

Search for Microsoft Toolkit latest version. Download and Use it to activate your windows. I'll be banned if I post the link. It's an easy search on Google

My Western Digital External Hard Drive is showing as Local Disk instead of a Removable Drive. This began 2 days ago.

The external hard drive is assessible, working fine and the files inside are opening. It also ejects normally and is easily detected by the TV when plugged in via USB.

My only worry is its appearance as Local Disk and it's inability to be renamed as it reverts back to Local Disk immediately. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

You have autorun.inf in the hard drive. Just set your file manager to show hidden files. You'll see it then delete it

Thanks, this worked albeit with some modifications.

autorun.inf was not visible even after ticking the show hidden files checkbox in file explorer so I installed UltraISO, navigated via UltraISO to my External Hard Drive (Local Disk G) and deleted the autorun.inf.

There are actually two places to set it. Ticking only "show hidden files" won't show all of them.

Ok, I am learning. Where is the second place one has to tick?

Meanwhile, while we're at it, can you help me resolve this. It's with an old 1TB Westeran Digital External Hard Drive. I was able to recover all my files in it but I'm wondering if it can be made usable

My Western Digital 1TB External Hard Disk now appears as a local disk instead of a removable drive and when I click on it to open, I get an

"I:\ is not accessible

"The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable" error message

I've got lots of important stuff on the External HDD so it's important I access it to copy my files I use a windows 8 OS and I've tried it on other PCs running Windows 7 & Vista, and it's still the same thing.

I'll be grateful for any help I can get towards resolving this. See my screenshots

Depending on your version of windows, Locate "folder options" (in windows 7, it's called "folder and search options"wink in the windows file manager and open it, click on the view tab then scroll down and un-tick "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)"

Read about HDD Regenerator. It's a paid software tho but I've gotten success stories. It can even repair physically damage drive

Forget about the "install" it'll still download before installing. Also you won't lose any files

If not for the graphics card it would have been OK. the remaining specs are on point. Could I get your number (whatsapp) in case I'm need of a system and also the number of the lady coz getting those specs on new laptops will be costly. Tnx
