  Hi Grandpa

  Thanks for your posting in Microsoft Community

  You can help solve some computer problems and improve the performance of your computer by making sure that your hard disk has no errors.

  1. Open the computer by clicking on the button start , and then clicking computer.

  2. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

  3. Click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click check now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

     To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

     To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

     To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  4. Click Start.

• How can I partition my hard drive for dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP?

  I installed Windows 7.  How do I get a partition or virtual hard disk the hardrive and then install a different OS, so that I can dual-boot between 7 and XP?

  I only know of the VHD, 7 has a "virtual machine" option or is a long process that requires a third-party software?

  Not longer than the partitioning of the HARD drive and install XP - actually quite a bit more fast I should think and gives you the ability to move from one OS to the other without having to reboot the machine.

• How can I change the permissions for an external hard drive?

  Hi, I have a little problem... I used an external hard drive on my pc windows 10 and now I try to copy my files on my iMac, but the thing is I can't delete my files from my hard drive because I can only read them. So I want to change the permissions, but I do not know how... Can someone help me with this please?

  Thank you for your time.

  This means generally that the volume is formatted to NTFS, at which case it must be reformatted or software such as Paragon NTFS installed on the Mac.

  In case this happens to a FAT32, exFAT or volume Mac OS extended, either the volume's directory structure is damaged, it is locked in the material or the player has felt that it is about to fail.

• The automatic update Windows Vista just eliminated all my files on my hard drive

  Last night, I closed my laptop with the ability to install the business Windows vista update (as I usually do when there are updates available).

  When I turned on the laptop this morning (May 17, 2013), he went through the usual update and installation.

  However, when it finished I noticed that the Office was clean (not so many icons on the screen). Then, I went into Firefox and noticed that all my favorites have disappeared - I imagine the same for Internet Explorer and Opera too (although I haven't checked). Then, I went into My Documents and noticed nothing - all my files on my hard drive (with the exception of programs and software dreamweaver for example microsoft, office, etc) were totally wiped out.

  It is serious - help!

  Fortunately, you can restore all your data files from backups that you do on a regular basis.

  How can I copy all the 18 000 pictures on my imac to an external hard drive to give to my daughter and keep them all on my imac

  Your daughter have a Mac and use Photos? If so just copy your library of Photos to SMT, it must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with the defined property is ignored. Then she can use the SMT library or copy it on his Mac.

  If she doesn't have a Mac do the following:

  1 - Create a new folder on the external drive.

  2 - Select all photos in the library (in the window of Photos).

  3. Select the file ➙ ➙ export export Original unmodified for XXXXX items menu option.

  

  4. in the format of subfolder select Export window = name of the time

  

  5. in the next window, select the folder that you created on the external drive as the destination of export and export all your photos to this. Photos at every moment in your photo library will be put in a folder with the date of that moment and this issue will be put on the EHD in the folder that you created.
  

• FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

  How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

  Hi MVRMVR,

  Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

  I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

• How can I search for files on my external hard drive WD My Passport, using spotlight?

  Hello

  I bought my first apple product, a MBP of the retina and has opened and updated at the El Capitan 10.11.6 a few hours ago.

  I need exclusively for music (traktor and ableton) and research songs and samples is essential.

  First slap my face was when I read on school drop-outs and questions with traktor and every update after that Yosemite 10.5 and I could have downgrade to it, even if I have no idea how.

  Second slap in the face and the question, I'm looking for help, was when I started to use spotlight to find the pieces of my external WD My Passport hard drive, only to discover this method of index (confidentiality, etc.) does not work and that there may be no solution for this problem.

  Can I do to solve this problem permanently? Any other tool of research, I can use instead of spotlight which will do the work?

  I was really happy with this purchase, but I have my doubts now and I'm starting to think that I have spent a fortune for nothing.

  Please, if you have any suggestions, explain in detail because I'm not familiar with the Apple OS.

  Thanks in advance!

  FWIW, Spotlight can certainly index external drives.

  You can use EasyFind since the alternative App Store as a research tool.

• I bought around ten year 7 Photoshop and Indesign etc and now I'm using only Photoshop 7. Three months ago I installed Windows 10 and now the ad once I can't use my Photoshop 7 more. Should wat I do?

  The oldest is compared to newer operating systems, it is less likely to work.  If you have been happy with the help of Photoshop 7 then you should be happy with the old operating system as well.  Your options are either to return to a system that supports your software or to buy new software to go with the new system.  CS6 products are still selling as far as I know.  In addition, your only option is to subscribe to the cloud of Creative for Photoshop CC.

  Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

• Equium A100-147: can I connect my laptop to my desktop hard drive?

  My computer laptop satellite has a permanent error when I turn it on: "autochk program not found - skipping autocheck.

  I've tried everything I can think (and advice of you internet) to get the data on my laptop hard drive, including the creation of a boot disk (using an external floppy drive) and a knoppix disk and nothing worked.

  Now, I suppose that if I can connect the hard drive laptop on my desk, I can get the data in this way? But how can I do?

  I bought an IDE 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter disk hard drive, but the instructions indicate that laptop hard drive must have a male connector 44? The hard drive is a Toshiba MK6034GSX and when I removed it I couldn't see 44 pine?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Yes you can do it, but you need USB 2.0 2.5 hard drive enclosure Kit ".
  Make sure that you buy a box with the right interface. Your HARD drive is SATA HDD.

  If you can connect the laptop HDD s to every desktop or laptop as external HARD drive and you will have access to all stored data.
