After installing a new HARD drive, I get a screen "control i to access the configuration utility.

Help?

I installed a new HARD drive on my xps 15 because the old drive crashed. Everything works fine and the system boots perfectly. Before entering the Dell splash screen, the screen "control i to access the configuration utility" appears for 5 seconds. After that, the normal boot sequence resumes. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do about it?

Here is a link to the screen I get started: http://s102.photobucket.com/user/alexcinie/media/photo_zpsb75f0a7f.jpg.html

The mSATA drive is used as a cache for the hard drive dynamic - these are essentially implemented in a RAID 0 array.  See the link below (it is for Alienware, but applies to your system as well).

If you want to keep the disk cache, you need to configure the array as shown.

    Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

    Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

    Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

  • Having trouble installing new drivers after installing a new hard drive and Windows Vista.

    I just installed a new hard drive on my computer of dell inspiron 1525. I managed to do it and it worked. I had a disc from dell to reinstall windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit and had drivers and utilities dvd. However I couldn't connect to the internet. I understand I'm missing some drivers but I rebooted the computer, but it goes to the black screen asking you to start in safe mode, safe mode with network, normally and something else. But after trying all of them, it goes straight to this same screen. What can I do? Or I can clear the new hard drive and start over? Any ideas?

  • drives no raid after installing a new hard drive, deleted a raid volume.

    I recently installed a new hard drive on a dimension 9200. One of the two hard drives in the pc has been a failure. After installing a new drive, I had a working old drive and a new drive, I installed vista on the new drive and found I couldn't see the old drive in the computer, also the raid volume was always the same that before removing one of the old disks. After you delete the raid volume, I have now two non-raid drives. My pc would be better if I change those two to a Raid volume as were the two previous albums, and if yes, how can I do.

    You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

    You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here:

    After you install the creative Cloud desktop application, you will need to sign in with a login password and Adobe. Then you can install applications. This link provides more information and step by step instructions, if you need: CC help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications

  • How to create bookmarks on Mac OS 10.8.2 after installing a new hard drive?

    At this point, I have no bookmarks or folders in Safari or Foxfire. I started with Foxfire and could find no way to create folders for the bookmarks. I tried the "show all bookmarks" in the menu "Favorites" and then hold down the 'Ctrl' key while touching the Menu "Favorites" and have nothing related to the creation of a folder.

    Should I start with Safari and then import them to Foxfire? There must be a better and more direct way to reach my goal.

    You can create in the folder of bookmarks in the library (Bookmark Manager) via the menu contextual (right pane) or the button hold the toolbar in the library.

    • Bookmarks > show all bookmarks

    You can create new folders and new bookmarks in the main three folders ("Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu", "Unsorted Bookmarks") or their subfolders, but you cannot create a new folder at the root ("all bookmarks").

    Download the version of Windows 7 which shows on the COA sticker and use the key code too...

    Make sure that the COA key code is readable before you download the ISO, because without it, the ISO has no value. You should also keep a note of the key code in a safe place.

    English x 64: X 17 - 58997.iso

    Note that you will have the task to install all updates from Windows Update Windows. Do NOT check, download and install the drivers on Windows Update.

    You will also have the task of getting the device drivers which should ONLY be obtained on the website of computer manufacturer, UNLESS the manufacturer of the computer directs you to Windows Update. Start with the CHIPSET drivers and work from that point, video, audio etc...

    Also, do not use the Web DRIVER FINDER sites. Always use the computer manufacturer OFFICIAL site...

    After you complete the above tasks, install Microsoft Security Essentials and then finish with your favorite programs.

  • clean install on new hard drive

    My hard drive crashed on my Hp laptop.  I installed a new hard drive and want to install my os vista on the computer.  I did the recovery disks when I bought the computer and told me that I could reinstall the operating system on the new hard drive.  My problem is that I keep getting error codes 1005 and 100a.  It stops the installation.  I then told me that I have to buy own recovery disks.  Can someone make me scroll through the process of getting the OS on my computer.  Can I use the recovery disk that I did or do I need to buy new, or I need to find a single version of full vista... Please help and thank you in advance!

    I'm sorry but it is the HP recovery, not Microsoft Software/process of.

    Also, you did your own Disk(which is correct to do) Recovery, but nobody would know if you make them correctly, or not.

    Contact HP above the link for any problems with their software/recovery process.

  • If I do not support until my MBP before installing a new hard drive...

    Very quick question:

    If I don't support my hard drive before installing a new hard drive, SSD, the MBP (early 2011) "know" download all the OS X software appropriate and that sort of thing? I guess my question is: is the part of the hard drive of the same hard drive recovery? Or on a separate physical disk.

    I don't have a time machine, and it would probably be easier to start from scratch.

    Thank you!

    If your computer comes with 10.6.8 or earlier and did not have its updated firmware updated to use Internet Apple system recovery, it is only on the internal drive. Otherwise, separate recovery methods are in the firmware and the drive internal.

  • Install a new hard drive - need advice!

    I intend to install a new hard drive on my Compaq C500
    All hard drives are the same physical size or do I need a specifically for this laptop?
    I do not have the windows install disks, but I have the sticker on the laptop with the product key to this topic, is it possible to download and install it?
    And what I have to install the drivers manually or it will install when I install the OS?
    Thank you
    Tom.

    I don't know of anyone who has a copy of it,
    Is there a way I can download and install with the product key that I have?

    Yes, but if it is not an official partner, I can't give you the link.  And currently I don't know any for Windows Vista.
    For Windows 7 (Digital River is an official partner of Microsoft): [link]

    Hey rcfball66

    You can always buy a gateway vista recovery disk to reinstall vista back to the factory with the new drive settings

    They provide at a nominal cost

    manufacturers of hard drive normally supplies free software to their Web sites for the movement of the operating systems of the old hard drive to the new hard disk cloning you buy home

    You can also use programs third 3rd to do this, or upgrade Vista Home Basic vista full for pc full upward

    but you can normally buy 3rd party programs

    read below information about such a program
