After changing the cables, jumpers, the bios settings to show as the master I am using the Windows XP disk, I try to put in place.

• 7 Windows 7 MCE has continued to record after changing hard drives

  Tuners work;  I can watch live TV with them.  Press Kit and messages error, says the save fails.  I need help with a problem.

  I used this setup for about two years.  Never a problem with registration.  Recently had to replace the hard drives.  After installation and Windows Home Server restore everything worked.  On a couple of days later I started having missing records. I am at a loss on how to proceed.
  When you save to?
   
  can you go into the settings and change the save location (even in a new folder
  on the same drive) for a few days and see if the problem is resolved?

  The machine worked fine for 7 months before the hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. (Without recovery).

  On installation the same Windows 8 Pro on the new HARD drive again, it shows " this key did not work." "If please check and try again or try a different key"

  Please suggest a solution to this problem.

  If my copy of Windows would have been an upgrade version, it would not have worked the first time.

  Have you bought a copy of manufacturer of OEM of Windows 8 Pro system? Because there was no full version boxes retail copies of Windows 8 Pro. The following work around to try to see if it works with your copy and then try the phone activation;

• I have to make a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop, how do I get my current operating system (Vista) on the new hard drive?

  I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

  My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

  Probably you need to use the product key on your computer to activate Windows.

• LEVEL 0 BACKUP FAILURE AFTER CHANGE HARD DRIVE

  Hello

  Yesterday I took the backup of level 0 from the new hdd(H:), mais il a échoué.) Please find more information,

  OS - Windows server 2012 (Live)

  VERSION - 11.2.0.1.0

  SERVER - server production

  Previously I configured 2 TB external Hdd in G: drive and set db_recovery_file_dest 2000 GB and backup location also the same hard drive size. Log Archive also only set according to G: drive location

  Since last three it is smoothly and taken the backup and the status of yesterday as hdd(G:) sur le point de remplir et il n'y est pas d'espace pour contenir le prochain niveau 0.)

  Now, according to those elders advice and I decided to take the only above mentioned archive disk G: log and mount the new hard drive in drive H: and Changed to the H: drive db_recovery_file_dest as below,

  H:\RMAN\AWSPROCESS\BACKUP and I did nothing with the parameter db_recovery_file_dest_size, it is intact, that the way in which it has been defined depending on the hard disk existing (g) 2000 GB (I learned that I changed my backup location, so this new HARD drive will automatically consider
  

  My goal is that enough backup RMAN based on Hdd (H :) new and I started yesterday and obtained backup failed with only 155 GB of backup in the new hdd(H:), si le niveau 0 prises avec succès, alors il pourrait être autour de 400 Go.))

  How to take my level 0 success based on newly mount Hdd (H :). What I did wrong and what to do more to achieve my successful backup.

  Please guide me.

  If you simply replace the disk, RMAN will always have the previous saved backups. RMAN does not automatically adjust its records because you free up space on the side of the BONE. You must do an overlap RMAN to synchronize your catalog or the RMAN command file and delete the records expired in your RMAN Repository in order to relaim the space on your FRA.

• Change HARD drive can always use recovery disk to reinstall Windows?

  I have a HP dv7-4296nr, partition recovery and recovery disks. Now, I want to change the current HARD drive to the new HARD drive. But I wonderring after I change the HARD drive, can I use the restore disc I burned before reinstalling windows?

  Yes you can.  Your existing set of recovery disks will not only install the operating system on the new hard drive, but will also reinstall all of the original software that came with your laptop as well as re - create the Partition D of recovery on the new drive.

• Old hard drive PS3 by USB box not detected by Windows Vista

  Hello

  I recently updated my old HD PS3 40 GB with a 500 GB one. Since then, I bought an external HD for my old HD, in the hope that I could use it as a hard drive for some files I have. However, I encountered a big problem - Windows Vista does not detect the HD.

  So far I read a lot of posts on the internet with people having similar problems, but with no definitive answer, so I hoped to get :)

  So far, I've tested the speaker on both the different 40 GB and new 500 GB PS3 in HD, as well as 2-3 computers. Nor are detected by windows... both have the power (green light is on, and I can hear the disc rotation), but are not detected on the management of the devices or programs in 3rd (SwissKnife). As far as the computer is concerned, nothing is connected.

  Thinking that it was probably a hardware problem, I whipped my laptop HD out and connected on a separate computer and it worked without me even having to he invites. This leads me to believe that the device works perfectly and its something about the PS3 HD, who doesn't like Windows.

  The only thing I have not tried is put my old hard drive to the PS3 in the PS3 and reformatting. The only reason for this is a screw on the case of the PS3 has decided, that he's not budging despite all my efforts. Its now 12:45 and I'm too tired to fight with 1 screw more! :) I really don't know not how tabling in so well, 3 others went fine and I deliberately don't screw them in tight with the new HD after I read about the problems people have had by removing the screws.

  Someone at - it suggestions at all? How to get Windows to recognize that this has something plugged in, on how to remove that last screw embarrassing! Whatever that either would be appreciated!

  Thanks in advance

  To add about the Bill, you must use a copy of Windows 7 retail.  OEM copies are not for end users to buy and install.  OEM System builder packs are governed by the System Builder License, and you must be a system integrator that sells computers for customers to use.  A person who built a computer for personal use is not a System Builder, as defined by the license.  Such a person can be called a -your-self or anything you like but Integrator system is defined in the license:

• Cannot install recovery image on my Equium after upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I just installed a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop Equium I contacted Toshiba who informed me that I could mount up to 1 TB, I opted for with a 500 GB at halfway.
  After installing the drive I inserted the disc of recovery after a while, it was loaded with the operation completed successfully message. Next message put in place windows could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware. Then windows could not complete the installation to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer...

  At the end of the restore process a message tells me to remove the recovery disc and output as soon as I get the laptop stops and doesn t re boot automatically. During the next restart windows message Vista starts for the first time then the cycle starts again. I tried to reload several times recovery according to the instructions, but not good.

  Any help much appreciated

  I put t know which model of laptop you have, but if the recovery image is Vista, it must be quite old model, maybe Equium A200.
  To be honest I didn't experiment with the upgrade of the HARD drive on older models, but I can imagine the image recovery are a problems with hard drives with huge capacities.

  Display please model name and which HDD you inside now.
  By the way: if possible, try to install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. I m it will be safe works without any problem.

• Can I change hard drive with an SSD in Toshiba NB100?

  Can I change hard drive with an SSD in Toshiba NB100?
  The hard drive in this model is the same size as SSD 2.5 drive "?

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop supports the disk HARD 2.5 SATA.
  I think you could use a SATA SSD drive. Usually some SSDS require the firmware update but this should be provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.
