Things have definitely changed in the last year sending packages to the U.S. of A.. It used to be, wrap the package, take it to the post office, get it weighed and stamped and then off she goes. I went up yesterday with my little package and was told I had to fill out a customs form and I would receive a "Q" code that the post office would scan. Did that but they got an "invalid" scan. I went home studied the site and found out I needed to go to another site called "Zonos" a site to pre-pay duties. I did the paperwork work and hit enter and saw the amount...stunned I was...stunned. When I was at the post office and they were weighing my package, I saw the postage cost at 13$. When I saw the duties price, 122$ for a tiny package, everything came to a grinding halt. Heading up to the post office later to have a wee chat

You should know by now that shipping gold bullion by mail is unwise.

My computer system has either a virus or my server has had a major crash. I have shut the server down and will have to wait until I go to Bundy next week to find what is going on with it.
Yesterday morning my graphics program was misbehaving and I thought it would come good next boot.
Today the same plus my computer says that my server only has three discs instead of eight and two of those it can find say:

I think that means they contain no files.
 
Both folders are the hidden system ones and not displayed usually. The $RECYCLE.BIN is a kind of a trashcan for a HDD partitions. It contains files deleted by an user before their permanent removing. Each partition or HDD has its own such folder.
The System Volume Information is also the hidden system folder that contains info on the System Restore Points, indexing files and other configuration data.
