Need Help Moving Files from C Drive to 2nd internal hard drive?
Comments (9)Thanks everyone. Lots of useful methods. Mikie - it's good to know about moving entire folders (I don't have my video's in folders - yet - but am just discovering how useful that would be for shows I've recorded for a few seasons - having them altogether). I'd like to double check and ask what "a cmd window" is - and how I'd get there. Again - I have Windows XP (SP3). Sorry to say, Mikie, but I also need more explanation for what "make a shortcut to the destination , within the folder the files are in... then select a bunch of what I want to move, cut&paste onto the shortcut" means. I know someday I'll understand all of this, but I don't know how to make a shortcut to the destination. And once I cut and paste onto the shortcut, what do I do with it? Absolutely there are some big files - so I'm glad to told me to break it up into smaller chunks. I have so far. Thank you. Lynn....See MoreCabinet layout - Doorway Moving - Please Help!
Comments (10)Oh, I so don't miss those days, now that we finally placed our cabinet order I feel like a weight has been lifted! Have you thought about where you will store things? That really helped me out and is often recommended at this stage. I have a 27 inch drawer base between the sink and range for pots and pans. I wanted 30 or 33, but once I figured out they are now stored in 2 x 18 inch regular cabinet with 1/2 shelves in them, I realized they would fit fine. Some of the current space is taken up by sheet pans and such, and I will have a tray pull out for them, and there will also be more storage above that section if needed as I have a 12 inch spice pull out, and currently all the spices are in the 18 inch cabinet above that space. I also wanted a dish drawer. I was going to have a 30 x 21 deep drawer, which worked fine when I mocked it up on cardboard with our dishes. I'm happy to now have a 30x24 drawer, but it would have worked the other way too. You may be fine with what's pictured. Mock it up with markers if needed, just be sure to account for face frame (if applicable) and drawer sides when determining inside dimensions. The 36 inch drawers should be fine, you may want to make the 24 inch stack 27 or 30 if you can, depending on your needs. I ended up giving up the thrash pull out to get other things I wanted. I will have a small recycling pull out under the sink though. Everything's a trade off. Once I figured out what I needed where, it was easier to make choices. Still not 100% there, but I know the important things have a home, and the rest will definitely fit, just not sure exactly which space will have which things yet so I haven't ordered dividers....See Moremove doorway? or let DH freeze plans ...
Comments (7)I can't answer to your door issue and I am not the biggest layout maven here, but the one thing I notice is your stove is very far from your fridge and clean up sink. If the circle in the upper left is a prep sink, that will help, but it does seem very stretched out for the day to day stuff. Can you make your powder room smaller by any chance? I know our master half bath will be 5 x 5.5 and that seems spacious. Yours seems to read 6'10" in length. If you could work a pocket door in the powder room, you would not need all the room for the door swing. If you could cut the back 1 1/2 ft off, that would give more space to the kitchen. How much room does one need to "powder their nose" after all? The non-island seems to really present an obstacle to the room as it is shown. I think it would do better to shift to the right by a foot or so. If the back part of the bathroom got clipped, you'd have room to do that. I also think the non-island needs to be smaller....See MoreLower rack in Bosch dishwasher hard to move
Comments (1)I have a 4 year old Bosch 600 series that refused to roll properly from day 1. I had the installer come back out and he said it was fine. It was not fine. On the advice of someone here, I called Bosch and requested a "wheel replacement kit". They sent new wheels. It did nothing. I break into a full body sweat each night trying to wrestle that bottom rack in. The wheels on each side balance on a ledge and if the load is not perfectly - PERFECTLY! - balanced, one side will come off the ledge and come crashing down. The more dishes in there, the worse it is. I have dishwasher PTSD to the extent when I am somewhere else with a different dishwasher, I am in the brace position ready to hoist the rack in and am always so shocked and surprised when the rack just rolls right in. I am seeing your post now because I have given up on a dishwasher that was expensive and washes perfectly well but I can no longer take the nightly wrestling match. I have no advice for you, just my deepest sympathies. Can you post a picture of what the bottom rack rolling mechanism looks like?...See MoreDando
