Kisai 10/09/21 3:02:44 AM #1:	I agreed to let Windows run a check disk when I plugged in my external USB hard drive because it said it could be fixed, and that was 2 hours ago, and the window for it is still up. It didn't freeze or anything, did it? --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? <cite>Kisai posted [p:958854095] in Is a check...

I've never tried it in windows shell, but I imagine it froze. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. https://imgur.com/OhZgm <cite>CommunismFTW posted [p:958854136] in Is a check...

Well, I kinda need it to not freeze because qbtorrent refuses to play ball with it because it's "dirty" or something. --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? <cite>Kisai posted [p:958854165] in Is a check...

Those systems were designed when storage was measured in gigabytes at most, or even smaller <cite>treewojima posted [p:958854287] in Is a check...
