Hi jone24s

You need to post a new (and your own) thread as no one will really notice your problem posted here. Look at the start of this thread for How to Post a New Thread!

Thanks for the information kimsland, it was helpful, and the first time that i have seen a form do this sort of thing

Yes me too

I went searching around before creating the quick HowTo, and found single post replies on other forums, which weren't too informative

I realized as many "Newcomers" were not forum gurus , and posting in any forum online can be quite difficult to find your way around (for the first time)

So that prompted this New Topic here

Hi Guys, would love to,BUT it is so confusing seeing how to. Where to go where to look! Jopras

Thanks buddy, your information was sufficiently helpful. cheers!

Thanks

@jopras
Which part is "confusing"?

Hi thanks for coming back. Well, I can see all the replies to (quries) Posts, but, where is the button I hit to ask a question ie make a post? As youcan see I am pretty green. jopras.

The New Topic button is available by clicking on the appropriate sub-forum


To find this large button

Go to the Forums, by clicking HERE (note: this "Forums" link button is also located at the top of this page):






Once in the "Forums", you will see many sub-forums, to choose from:






Once you choose your appropriate Sub-Forum, you will see this button:

I hope this has made it a lot more easier for you to post a New Topic

thank you very much

nks Kimsland. I can get launched now. Just looking at your adedress.....Aaaaah, you live in Gods own country. Years ago in West affrica, my best mate was an Aussie, Colin, he came from Sydney. Lost touch with him now though, It's a bummer. All the best, (joe) jopras.

No probs mate, I'll ask about if anyone knows him, shouldn't be too hard to track him down
Oh and we pronounce "Colin" as "Coln" leaving out the "I"

Thanks....but there's a lot of Colns in Sydney! Coln Bennett. Mines Geologist. ABA Tarkwa Ghana. 1960's. He's got be about 78+. Thanks mate. Joe

He was Chairman of the Public Relations Committee of IMSSA last year
Last documented online here in 2008: http://www.minesurveyors.com.au/pdf/...iumMeeting.pdf

Now that's enough on finding people in the How To Post a New Topic guide

Thanks KIM, that was helpfull and good to know, much has changed since i left.

Cheers mate

Hi every one

Hi Tech Spot,
I am Lieutenant Colonel Osman Jonah Sesay from the Sierra Leone Army. I recently bought a new Toshiba Laptop Windows 7 together with a WD External Hard Drive (250 GB ). The drive worked initially and after few weeks it stopped functioning on my computer. Every time I insert it, the computer will say the drive needs formatting. Even when I tried to format it , it does not work. The computer says wrong parameter is being used. I have tried the drive in several computers and its the same problem . I need to store very important military documents as a back up. Please help

Since I came across this site, I just have the fate that you will be able to solve this problem for me.How can I get solution to my problem as I do not want inexperienced computer specialist to destroy my external hard drive for me.
