  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

  Hi marinersr,

  I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

  Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

  You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

  If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

• I only have my original home edition of windows XP SP1 update of CD.__I had a virus and had to reformat my hard drive. I don't have a boot disk. How can I get my computer working again?

  It installed fine but it does not acknowledge all of my material, i.e. monitor, modem... the monitor works but some weird setting. Is there a solution or a download that I can burn it to a cd to allow my computer to run properly again?

• SMART failure provided on hard disk 2: WDC WD 3200AAJS-55RY-AO (S1) __WARNING: IMMEDIATELY back up your data and replace your hard disk drive failure can be immenent

  Please help... I dunno what to do one day, I came home from work and my new about sony vaio desktop has been frozen, so I rebooted and now I have this message when I try to start and I do not have a vista disc or a recovery disc and am worried my lost data as I do not know how to save at this point because I can't even in the windows operating system Vista.  can someone help me please?

  We must believe the error message telling you that your hard drive is about to fail. If you are not technically proficient, take the machine to a local computer technician who will try to back up your data and then replace the hard drive. Do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. Otherwise, you may be able to get the data saved by one of the methods below and replace the hard drive yourself.

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with sufficient capacity to store your data, OR an external hard drive formatted USB FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

  * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

  IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company. I use savers by car, but there are others. General prices run from $500USD on-site. Investors recovered all disk data on a portable player that failed for one of my clients, and it cost $2 700. He thought that it was worth the money; only you know what's worth your data. I understand that some insurance companies now cover fresh data recovery so check with yours.

• the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily?

  the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily.right now my external backup just my computer that isn't doing me good

  original title: external hard drives

  You don't want to change your external drive to your main drive.

  You can move your music files on the external drive - or you can move other data on the disk to make room for your music on the internal drive.

  What applications do you use to play music?

  As described in the first link below, you can move your full "My Documents" folder on the external drive.  Alternatively, you can simply move your music files.  If such an arrangement would give you a satisfactory performance, however, depends on how your external drive is connected (for example, USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, Firewire, network) and other hardware features of your computer.

  Not all of the following conditions will be applied to you, but some of the tips can be useful.

  There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

  • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
  • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
  • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
  • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
  • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
  • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)
  • See also:

  " How to recover disk space on Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP computers? ."

  " Forty ways to free disk space ."

  But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

  In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

• Can I use easy transfer of the hard disk Vista for 64-bit Windows 7 computer?

  My computer laptop 32 bit vista is dead, but the hard drive is intact.  I can access it using a disk blacx disk drive hard usb.  All files seem to be good.  I gave the disc all permissions for changes, etc., so that it is not just to read only.  He sees my new laptop running windows 7 64 bit.  I found files in the record Office of the old drive so that part works.

  I tried to use easy transfer in windows 7.  Installed on the old disk of vista.  But I can't launch the vista easy transfer since this computer is dead.

  Is there a way I can transfer my emails, photos, documents and the itune files?

  Thank you.

  You can use Knoppixhttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (made on a different computer).  This should give you sufficient access to the Vista system 'dead' (if you can not get in any other way) backup/transfer your important data (like everything else you mentioned) to the one you use (an external hard drive, flash player,...). You will not be able to save your settings or your programs because they require the enforcement system to use easy transfer and regular functions copy and paste will do the trick. If Knoppix doesn't work, try slaving the hard drive to another computer, and then after the data you want to save it.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I can't install the second disk sata hard

  I have a problem when install the second disk sata hard
  I bought a new one 500 GB and I installed windows xp sp3
  and it works well I plugged in SATA 0 port
  When I want to install a second sata hard disk 320 on sata 1
  and it has an important data, windows will reboot, and do
  blue screen sometimes 'NTFS.sys"or"SCSIPORT.sys.
  and it is written "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
  If someone help me what should I do or there is no FIX for this problem.

  in the BIOS I have regcognized both hard drivers:
  IDE pri master 500 GB
  PRI IDE slave 320
  Second master IDE-
  Second slave IDE-
  PORT SATA - 0
  SATA 1 - PORT

  I plugged the IDE 2 cd-rom

  ----------
  Specification of the device:
  Windows xp sp3
  card mother gigabyte 848P
  Intel ICH5
  Intel 8I848p775-g
  Celeron D Socket 775

  You said that the hard drives are sata but your bios recognizes them as IDE depending on your position. You might have to set your bios to operate in sata mode or enable AHCI of have recognized them as sata. Regarding the error you get, look in the system BIOS to boot from hard disk command menu. This is different from the command menu of usual starting where you choose each time you start a cd ROM or hard drive ect... The parameter that I refer to determine which hard drive of your computer starts on the first. Change to the primary master 500 GB disk > save your settings and restart your computer. Even if one is defined as main and the other slave is not serious. Some bios have the ability to choose what hard drive to boot from. In other words, it is adjustable to start first on the slave drive.

  Can anyone throw any light on the problem?

  Hello!

  Have you tried the Drive Fitness Test as suggested Akuma? You can check the HARD drive for bad sectors.

  CHKDSK isn't identical to the DFT and it can t detect errors on the HARD drive. Please run DFT to determine if the problem is the HDD, or not associated with.

• Replacing an old hard drive causes the system had become unbootable

  OK, here's the scenario.

  Background:
  My old computer with Windows XP has been installed on a hard disk of 40 GB. Later through subsequent updates, I bought the upgrade Windows Vista Professional (retail) and proceeded to install Vista on a brand new 250 GB hard drive. Initially, he had some problems I did a clean install with upgrade to Vista, but then with the help of Mircrosoft support (and several hours of reformats and corrupt the old installation of XP) managed to get Vista installed hard disk new and active. I kept the old drive hard in the computer for about a year, but then noticed that he was starting to get out. I moved all the old information off the drive and recently bought a 1 TB drive to replace. I deleted everything that above with the exception of a few remaining files that won't let me not delete - documents and settings and startup records, respectively.

  Problem:
  When I take the old 40 GB hard drive to reside on Windows XP, my computer when startup is unable to find a drive it can boot from. Under disk management, it is labeled as system - even if the windows directory is on a completely separate drive. My intention was to replace the old hard drive, but I can't get my computer to recognize that it is not on the system drive somehow.

  Question:
  Is it possible to change what hard drive is recognized as a system disk or make sure I can get out the old hard drive and still keep my bootable system?

  Hello Lightningfst,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  First off I would say that, before trying any of the suggestions I'm about to do that you completely back up the contents of the drive with Vista Business as a precaution.  The first suggestion I have is to copy the MBR of the disk of 40G to 250G drive.  It could be as simple as that.  However, when Windows sees a drive and initializes it, Windows writes a serial number of 4 bytes in the MBR (sector 0) of the disc. No matter what partition you create on this disc is then associated with the serial number and the drive letter that the partition is given.

  When you then progress to clone a boot partition on the new disk with a cloning program that does not copy the MBR, the serial number of the old drive is not copied to the new disk, so the new disk retains its serial number Windows has seen before.

  When Windows starts on the new disc, he sees the serial number of the new drive and guess the partition that is on that now belongs to the previously selected drive letter which is almost always not C:. Since installing Windows starts on C:, there is now no C: drive when Windows starts. Trying to connect allows Windows attempts to load the user from C:\Documents and Settings\registry, and the C: drive is not there, so Windows simply to abandon the attempt to logon and closes a session back.

  If this happens to you after copy the MBR of the disk of 40G to 150G Unit let us know and we can help you solve the problems that.  I hope this information is useful.

  Thank you

  Jack

• Installation of Vista on the new hard drive was interrupted, and now I can not start the computer

  So I decided that I need a bigger hard drive. I got a 500 GB hard drive, so I have it PLOPPED in my Acer Aspire 5517 with my vista boot drive, turned on and began to go through the process. Once he got to the phase 'installation complete' it seems to take a while, so I let it run all night. Once I got up, it was on a black screen with the mouse, I let stand a few more minutes but still nothing. I turned off and started it expects to find to return at the beginning of the installation, but instead he began to start from what is on the hard drive at this time. It got to the screen with the loading bar and the sign 'Microsoft Corporation'. The loading bar was very frigidity and stopped and started randomly. I let it do this while I went to school, but when I got home, it was always the same loading screen. I rebooted and tried to start in safe mode, but when I do it it stops at crcdisk.sys, and never forwarded charges. I tried to do the reset thing factory start it but that doesn't seem to work. My other puny hard drive still works, but the other does not. I searched the internet but have not seen any other problem like it. I want to just start completely clean of my new 500 GB. Please help!

  Hi James,

  1. What is the number of brand and model of the hard disk of 500 GB?

  2. How did the 500 GB hard drive connected to the computer? It is external or internal?

  To troubleshoot the unable to start the issue to cause corrupted driver, some files that can not be loaded during the startup process must be fixed or restored. So, let's check the disk by using the Windows Recovery Console.

  (a) put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

  (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD ".

  (c) select a language, a time, a currency and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.

  (d) click on repair your computer.

  (e) (click on the operating system you want to repair), and then click Next.

  (f) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt. Type chkdsk c:/f to try to correct the errors.

  (g) Note: answer them when chkdsk asks you if you want to check the disk next boot Vista

  (h) after the recording of the disc, and then run sfc/scannow to check the corruption of system files.

  Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Check out TechNet help links and check if that helps:

  The computer starts stops at crcdisk.sys

  Help! Vista won't start... (crcdisk.sys)

  Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

• If I have not access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system?

  Original title: TPG Server petition.

  I wanted to know if I di not actually have access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit? Instead of having a computer with a complete installation of windows mine came with versions of WinPE OEM, NT and MCE. The GPT partition server that I can see is protected. Partial operating systems seem to be installed on network disk Volumes. I think that what I have to do down the disk hard real all delete and start again but I'm having a problem to see what is all about the drive through programs and remove what I find. He also seems to have a certain type of script hidden BIOS more wrinkles to retail and canceling all decisions on versions of the oem .cfg files. She configures and installs the server instead of windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit server software. The installation gives the highest administrative authority to the network administrators who I don't know and have never met and to manage my personal laptop. It creates a serious problem when I want to use my computer for one purpose and that some people I don't know and have never met want me to use my computer for something else.
