[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 387951, member: 13534"] Thanks all!!!! I tried the external drive with the "Y" shaped cable, and it works great now, so it was a power issue, it draws 4.75W which is too much for even a USB3 port. Trying to set up directories [or folders as they now call them] in windows 8.1 is terrible. You start off with a folder called "documents". c:\users\john\documents is the path i think. Anyway, you can move this so i moved it to D:\ and renamed it "Data" or something. Sure enough, it works, and whenever you create a document in word or whatever, it saves it there. Earlier i tried to save an email attachment. Could not find it... Turns out that the original c:\users\john\documents is still there, just that when you open "file explorer" you cannot see it there anymore. ******* crap OS john... [/QUOTE]
