Thanks John, I appreciate that. When I plugged the drive in at home before taking it back to the computer place, it didn't make any clicking sound. Completely quiet as if it wasn't getting any...

I wish I'd gotten files off of the old hard drive before I down loaded that Resolvo software ....(or whatever it's called ) to fix the START menu problem. When I took it into the repair shop, I told...

The adapter arrived.......got it all hooked up and the old drive didn't fire up at all. I called that computer repair place back and told them that it wasn't working at all. They said to bring it...

Thank you ! I just ordered it. That's the same place from where I ordered the last one that didn't fit. I obviously ordered the wrong one but they refunded me right away, even before sending it...

Thanks Malc !

Hi Bill,
Sorry I'm not up to speed on knowing how this all works. Would what's on the link that Malc provided work if I ordered a separate power supply ? If so, do you know where I could find...

Hi Malc,
Thanks for the help. The first USB cord that I recently ordered for this hard drive had a USB C end on it, but it was supposed to be just a standard USB plug. I sent that one back. ...

This is the original hard drive. The last dongle / USB I received didn't fit. The plug in female end was too large.
Can you tell by this picture what cord I need to order ?
Thanks...

Thank you for serving. You were there from the beginning and saw it through. What a transition everything was going through during those years. I was in Bangkok in '73 and remember the security...

Thanks Bill,
It's been a long stretch now since I've been able to get back into TRAINZ and work on my route.
Much obliged for your help.
Just curious, what years did you serve in the Navy ?

Update:

The USB cord with the dongle arrived today, which was supposed to be this one:...

Thanks Bill ! I wish my PC would have given a RESTORO warning. I'll look into all the info you provided and see if I can make some progress. Now it looks like I just need to get that USB / dongle...

For whatever reason, the name reminded me of something you'd take for constipation problems....but then gives you explosive diarrhea before constipating you even worse.

I've rarely had to use the password because I had the PC setup to not need to put it in when rebooting. I do remember my old password and I know it still worked up untila few nights ago when the...

I'm going to go this route and get the external " dongel" USB cord that I can hook up to the old hard drive. I'd put one in the case, but it looks pretty well packed in there already.

Here's the...

Thanks Bill. Yes I'm sure with that agreement they gave me when I dropped it off they gave themselves a protective shield. They were friendly and seemed ok until after my 1st visit. They were...

I'm not feeling that great at the moment, but hope to soon so I can get the energy to tackle this.

This fix-it program I downloaded is called RESTORO
Here's the link : ( as of right now I...

Thanks for your continued assistance. I'll give these methods a try and see if I can get the old hard drive back in and get it booted up in safe mode. It's disheartening to me that the computer...

I don't. I'd have to hook it back up to this one and I'm not sure what the risk would be, if any.

Because of that bogus program I downloaded to try and fix the original problem, I couldn't get...

Thanks for all the info, everyone. Much appreciated.

Clam1952 and Paul, I did get the old hard drive back, but they told me that I could damage something else on the PC if I reinstalled it. I...

That really is a good suggestion. I got a fairly cheap one about 5 years ago and a few months ago I discovered that the battery back up quit working. I should have replaced it right away.
Do you...

Hello. My nerves are shot. I have a frustrating PC and Trainz situation I'd like to share.
