    Slow computer and vanishing hard drive


    Hi Guys,
    I went out a bought a Roku adapter in order to view movies from Net Fliks. Due to the result of adding this piece of hardware my E drive vanished and my computers speed dropped appreciably. I took my PC to an expert and the "missing drive" appeared but when I re-hooked it up at home my drive once again did not appear. Just a warning that if you experience a very slow pc or missing drives check for external hardware items ie Roku.

    if you fill out the specs of your computer in the bottom left hand corner of your post, as well as the model of your Roku adapter it will help a lot.
