This is a Toshiba specific (and problematic [cpu hog]) non essential tray app.

Do note that some malware camouflages itself as NDSTray.exe.

You can disable it it the startup (HKLM)

Thanks, I have used the Task Manager to terminate it, but I had trouble finding it listed in any "startup" list. I used "msconfig" to gain access to Start Up and didn't find NDSTray.exe.

On the Windows 10 side, I received the 1.5T Western Digital USB HDD, really small, hard to believe so much data can be stored in such a small space without creating a "black hole" Ha!

The 1.5T is formated NTSF so I went right to making an Image of subject W7 Toshiba. This took about a hour, size about 70 GB, small potatoes on the 1.5T storage. I then figure why not also do a customized W7 backup... the W7 backup remembers (can identify) that the backup it created on the Flash Drive isn't available... so now I have to figure out how to make W7 forget about an old backup it did. Welcome advice, but will search the web later.

I have multiple uses for the 1.5 T, one is the Toshiba W7, another is a Gateway W8.1, another is an XP. All of these want NTSF, still it seems like a good idea for me to partition the space to something like 100 GB for W7, 200 GB for W8.1, and 50 GB for XP. Then I would allocate something like 100 GB for reformatting by Linus so I can use that space for a boot device for Ubuntu, Xubuntu for the XP machine. I might as well split up the other NTSF into a couple other devices for future use.

I was disappointed to learn the Image has all the information buried under the Restore cloak. That is I couldn't find any way to use the file manager and look inside the Image for stuff, say My Pictures for an example.

So I open another folder and started copying all the "stuff" in W7 the I would like to simply access, oh yes, I also used W7 to create a Transfer which can be used to move from one computer to a new one. Or to a new OS, but I assume the Microsoft W10 upgrade will take the necessary steps to transfer my applications (those that work, will look up Palm Desk Top to see). Still, having lots of space I make a Transfer, it too cloaks the information below is administrative software.

We live in interesting times, old saying but more true with each passing year I observer after observing many passing years.

If win 7 was used to backup & make an image, you can browse that image file by opening Disk Management . should be on the Action Menu... Attach VHD.. browse to the image.. to the larger byte vhd(x) and choose it. Then back in disk management assign it a drive letter. Then you should find you have a virtual drive letter that you can explore and see the whole C partition backup. copy files/folders if needed from there.
