• Reinstall Windows 7 on hard drive again with only the Win 7 Upgrade disc?

  So I have an e9180t which, like clockwork, freezes after about an hour or two after the boot.  I thought it might be the curse of bad mothers, with what they came, but I hope that it is something else so test everything I can.  I noticed that it does not freeze upwards when it is started in safe mode with network.  The hard drive failed the test SMART so I wonder if it's time to replace it as if that has anything to do with the crash.   I can move the cursor, but no applications will be open and eventually everything becomes insensitive causing be tohit the power button to restart.   I already stopped unnecessary startup programs and it will still freeze in unsafe mode.

  The PC came with Vista and I think it's what's on backup hard disk partition.  I have the disk Win 7 Upgrade from HP.  My questons are-

  1. If I buy a new HD 7 upgrade disc will be enough to install the full version of Win 7?

  2. anything else I should do when I install the new HD and more to reactivate Windows?

  Thank you.

  Hi Mike,.

  Have you created a HP recovery disk to reinstall the factory image when replacing the HARD drive?

  It sounds like you have maybe a problem creating the recovery discs now.

  A Smart HARD drive test failure points to a HDD failure. The symptoms you are experiencing are likely caused by this fact. You can also have a card mother or any other hardware problem.

  You have the key to drive and Win 7 Upgrade product.

  I'm pretty sure that the upgrade to Windows 7 to be launched from Win Vista. The upgrade of Windows 7 is a full installation of Windows, so this isn't the problem. But he can't run the installation unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally, an upgrade to Windows 7 is launched within the current operating system, Win 7 valid existence of an eligible OS Setup and then request a restart to complete the installation of upgrade.

  You can replace the HARD drive and try to install Win 7 itself. If this fails and you do not have the Vista recovery discs, you can buy an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different versions. Select one that corresponds to the operating system that is installed at the factory.

  You may have another problem to replace the HDD with a Format HDD advanced most recent. Please see thisHP Supportdocument for more information.

  If you cannot install the upgrade Windows 7 itself or Win Vista because of the issue of the Advanced Format HARD drive, you may need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 OEM.

• Video driver and Bios graphics (the two A06) problems

  I upgraded my bios to A06 7/10, when he was released. I also upgraded my Intel drivers, including graphics drivers, 7/10-version A06 releasing. Everything seemed fine at first. However, some applications of Windows 8, such as the application of Windows of Lync, have graphics problems.

  All the text and labels in the Lync application are white or black, including what I type in the message window. It makes it unusable. I tried to reinstall the graphics driver. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the Lync application. Nothing works.

  In my view, that it is an Intel graphics driver issue. The old drivers had no issue. Older drivers don't seem to work with the new bios. Once installed, the display shows really dark, even at 100% brightness. Therefore, the new drivers are needed, but cause my app of Lync problem.

  Any help is appreciated!

  Update: Windows updates again this week (via Windows update) which addressed this issue. Everything works again with Windows 8.1.

  FYI - Windows update was unreadable... so I had to use another computer W8 beside my tablet as a way to help guess what is needed (given that the text was just long lines instead of letters).

• To the left of C:, unallocated space cannot extend the C drive

  My install Win 7 had its bootloader on a separate partition. I moved it in C:, but now there are 200 MB of free space to the left of my C: partition. For this reason, I can't expand the C drive to occupy this space. I read on another post that using GParted works, but the person needed the Win 7 disk to repair the boot loader. I don't have a disc, so what do I do?

• What Win XP driver is required for the port DV on a Satellite Pro P100

  Which driver "specifically" is held by Win XP on a Satellite Pro P100 DV port?
  Toshiba provides this driver on the download page?

  Win XP does not recognize the camera into the DV port.
  It does not recognize the camera a few months ago but not detect it when it is connected.

  I don't know what changes have been made since then. Can I simply re - install the proper drivers?

  Thanks in advance.
  Tom

  Hello

  DV port? Do you mean the iLink (firewire port)?
  You have a camcorder?

  I can connect my camcorder to the laptop using the firewire cable and firewire port.
  There is no special driver for the firewire port. The Windows operating system contains the own drivers that control this port.

  Maybe you should remove the device and then Manager should restart the operating system. This allows to recognize the FireWire again

• Qosmio X 500-165 - how to extend the C drive?

  Just bought the Qosmio X 500-165. Does anyone know how to extend the C drive, I get a sign that it is almost full, despite installing all my programs on the partitioned disks that I created? I need to uninstall the software installed by toshiba?

  Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  The 500-165 X is equipped with 64 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB. I don t know the exact partition structure but I assume that Windows is installed on the SSD which is the C drive and HARD drive is your second drive D.

  I recommend to move all files such as photos, videos, music, drive D to improve disk space on c. usually 64 GB SSD should be sufficient for all applications because Windows 7 needs only 20 GB.

  Also, try to reduce the system restore points and delete temporary folders. CCleaner can also help you to clean your system. :)

• Extend the limits of hard drive

  I have an Acer Aspire 5720 with 80 GB hard drive. However, the reader is divided 32.5 on drive C and 32.5 GB on the D drive. My C drive is full and I would like to add an external hard drive. I need to extend the limit of drive C to allow me to load software for external hard drive. The other alternative is to load software for D drive which is empty, but I don't know how to do this. Can pleasae you help me.

  Hello.

  You cannot add a small part of D: to C:.

  It's all or nothing.

  -What are you doing this > if ever you have given on D: you save which data > then you totally delete the D: and D: partion becomes now unallocated space > then extend you C: into this unallocated space to have a larger partition.

• Trying to extend the c drive with space unallocated in diskpart.exe - I get the message that there is not enough space. what I am doing wrong?

  DiskPart.exe help - not enough space - I have more than 5 GB of unallocated space. trying to expand the C: drive

  Hello mark_kman,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  It sounds as if you have multiple partitions. Disk management and DiskPart extends the volume with a focus on the next contiguous unallocated space. For basic volumes, the unallocated space must be on the drive and must follow (have a plu sector offset number than) the partition with focus.

  If you are looking at disk management, this means that, if you look at your partition C: the unallocated space MUST be located directly to the right of the C: partition. If you have another partition between the two, you will be allowed to extend the partition directly to the left of the unallocated space.

  This could be a work around, if you have C: and D: and have files on D: but have more space.

  -D: shrink to create just enough unallocated space to store your files located on D:.
  -Create a new partition with unallocated space to move your files.
  -Move your D: files to your new partition.
  -Now, to delete the D: partition

  This creates unallocated space between your C: partition and the new partition that you created to move your files.

  -Now right click on your C: partition and extend as usual.

  Hope this helps

• How can I change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'winretools' on a laptop Win 8?

  I'm just going through the process to customize a new Inspiron 14z with Windows 8. The only thing that left me speechless are all provided partitions installed on drive, thanks to a combination of everything be different on Win8, Dell make their own way and GPT formatting.  Generally, I would like to know what the devil all these partitions are for, but it is fine if it will be a slow learning process.  More precisely and immediately, I need to change the drive letter assigned to the partition of 'WINRETOOLS '.  Currently it is D:, and the problem is that 10 years from now, I'm using as my data partition D: and a number of applications, configurations, settings, etc. assume that all my files are on D:.  For example, by having all my music on D:, I can sync iTunes library and preference between machines and all results files and playlists is from a machine to another.  Same thing for my photos.  Same for a bunch of utilities like FTP consoles, sync utilities...

  In an earlier version of Windows, I would just go into management drives, right click on the partition in question, assign a different drive letter and work done.  On my machine, the WINRETOOL 2 GB partition shows not even as having a drive letter in disk management, despite the fact that it is D: in Win Explorer.  In addition, only the right click option is 'help '.  I took this option, and, despite its aspirations, it is not useful.

  How can I change this drive letter to something else?  WINRETOOLS should even have a drive letter in Explorer (some messages that I've seen indicates that it must be hidden)?  If I change the drive letter, which will break its function, whatever it is?

  ....

  My machine has a 500 GB of rotating disk that has all of the above partitions.  I shrunk the 80 GB C: partition, to create a data partition.  I've not yet formatted the unallocated space I want to solve this WINRETOOLS thing first.  Finally, there is a 32 GB of SSD that I put in place as a cache of the Intel Smart Response, and it is no longer visible to the operating system.

  At the command prompt, type the following and press "enter":

  mountvol D:\/d

  Close the command prompt.

  Drive D: letter should now be available and not used.

  Here's some info about Mountvol, it's very powerful to be safe to use it:

  Looking at the website of Olympus, it would appear that we do not
  There are.

  But you do not need a driver because you do not need to connect your
  camera to the computer. Just put the memory card in a card reader and

• Extend the existing under certain conditions drive and add if no disc

  Here's what I'm trying to achieve.

  1. increase the disk space on a drive (drive C - D) especially if they are smaller than a standard value of the particular company
  2. detect if there is a 2nd drive or not and if not then add a 3rd disc

  Optional:

  (a) extend the drive increased inside the guest OS

  (b) initialize, format the drive newly added inside the guest OS

  Currently, this is what I came with

  #if hard drive 1 is less than 60 increase the size of the HDD to 60 and then to exceed inside the guest OS or ignore this action

  Get-disk hard - vm TestVM | where {$_.} Name - eq 'disk 1'} | If ((mesure-objet-propriété CapacityGB-somme) - lt 60) {}

  Together-hard drive - CapacityGB 60 - ResizeGuestPartition-confirm: $false

  }

  on the other

  {

  Write-Host "no action is needed" - foregroundcolor Red

  }

  Now, I don't know how to add a 2nd 80 GB drive after checking if it has a 2nd drive or not.

  My motto is, he must check if there is a 2nd drive or not and if there are move adding the drive and if there is no 2nd disc (disc 2) then add a HDD of 80 GB.

  You could do something in this sense

  $hd = get-disk hard - vm TestVM

  if($HD.) Count - eq 1) {}

  New-harddisk - CapacityGB 60 - VM TestVM

  }

  else {}

  Write-Host "2nd current HD - no action is needed" - foregroundcolor Red

  }

  If ($hd [0].) {CapacityGB - 60 lt)

  $hd [0] | Together-hard drive - CapacityGB 60 - ResizeGuestPartition-confirm: $false

  }

  else {}

  Write-Host "HD1 is 60 GB or more - no action is needed" - foregroundcolor Red

  }
