• Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I need assistance with Windows.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
  I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

  So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
  I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
  Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

  Thank you for your help
  Julie

  As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
  I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

  When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

• Cannot change the name of the file in the file properties.

  Original title: Cannot change the file properties

  Some downloaded files have a value in the box "title" under the details (after clicking Properties)
  I can't remove this 'title' and it appears so when I share the file on my network.
  The file is located on a portable hard drive, but I tried to move some files from problem to my office to see if I could solve these problems there, but nothing has worked.

  I already have
  -taking possession of the object
  -allows full control for all users
  -tried to use the "attrib - r + s' function
  -among other...

  I just want to know if there is a way to change the details of the file. On another windows help page it says something along the lines of "some attributes cannot be changed" I hope this isn't the case.

  Any help at all would be great, if no additional information is needed let me know.
  Thank you

  This information is set when the file is created.  Windows has no native ability to change.  You need a third party program.  For example, see link below.  Note that I have no idea if it's any good or works in Windows 7.  Gives you the link just to get an example of what to look for.

• I have win xp SP3 installed on my PC. I use several external hard drives to store video files. How can I make sure that they maintain the same drive letter, every time that I connect them?

  All these hard disks are connected via the USB ports, but not all of them are connected at the same time. I use Adobe first Elements to edit videos, & if I open an adobe project it is expected that the video files will always be under the same drive letter.

  Have you tried to assign drive letters using disk management?
  Mount your drive, then

  Start-> Run-> "diskmgmt.msc".

  Find your player in the list, right-click on it and select "change drive letter and paths...". »

• Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

  I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

  I apologise for the inconvenience.

  Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

  However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

• Epson Event Manager cannot find the scanner driver. Epson said that the event handler is a windows thing, and so is the problem.

  I installed an Epson Stylus SX215. I can print, scan and copy if I use another way, but if I want to use the event handler it says that it cannot find the scanner driver may not use the event handler at all (cannot yet open the program).
  In addition, the scan option "attached to electronic mail" does nothing either. Don't know if this is because the event handler program or because he can not see e-mail programs I have.

  Hi bdelrio,

  Thanks for posting. Try running a System File Checker to find errors.

  Click Start.
  In the search box type cmd
  In the menu start right click on cmd.exe and select Run - As-Administrator.
  In the command prompt, type "sfc/scannow".
  Allow this to fill and run. Please let us know if this corrects and error, or if it reports errors, it cannot fix.

• How to make a portable USB drive use the same drive letter all the time

  Original title:

  I have many removable hard drives from Toshiba.  Use them for photography.  I usually connect simply, transfer photos from the DSLR camera (images raw, very big, not a camera point/rod).  When I plug in, computer automatically selects a player... F, g, H: by M or N.

  Then, I use Adobe Lightroom for adjustments.  Once they are imported into Lightroom it keeps track of this record, they were on.

  PROBLEM:

  If I unplug the removable hard drive, plug in at a later date, computer can randomly choose a different example M instead of H letter.
  LightRoom is so impossible to find photos/images.  I would then have to re - import and start any setting completely from the beginning.

  Question:
  How to direct the computer to select the same drive when I plug in a removable hard drive.

  Plug in a hard drive removable, computer selects H:, can I import into LightRoom, I disconnect the removable hard drive, a week later I want to make adjustments more photography, connect the removable hard drive and FORCE/DIRECT COMPUTER TO SELECT H: AGAIN (or whatever of the original letter was).

  Hope it makes sense.

• Cannot change the folder name of the user, i.e. the C:\Users\user name (folder name)

  I got a new computer w/Windows 7, but Set - up guy was working on 2 computers and put the wrong name in this machine slot 'username '.  All seeking answers to correct (my machine automatically books with my ADMIN correct name but doesn't let me change an incorrect name in the USER file), I came across this on VISTA.  It also applies to Windows 7?

• When I replaced a hard drive, I wanted the same drive letter, but he wants me to take another. How can I assign the drive letter, I replaced?

  When I replaced a hard drive, I wanted the same drive letter, but he wants me to take another. How can I assign the drive letter, that I replaced. The letter is now used by another device?

  Open disk management, find the drive using the drive letter you want to use, change the drive letter of this to 'Z', find the new drive, change the drive letter that you want, and then change the drive letter of the drive you have labeled it 'Z' to a drive letter of your taste.

• How can I correct the wrong drive letter in the Collections only - no files?

  I moved my Lightroom Catalog from another computer. All my files are correct, but my Collections records point to a drive letter does not exist, and I get the error that there are duplicates.

  How can I fix the drive letter in the Collections only? Find all missing Photos does not work because it applies only to folders and files have the correct drive letter.

  Charles

  I think the best thing to do is to copy the old catalog of the any file to the new computer and place it in its own nine empty folder. Then change in Windows, the drive letters E on the new computer becomes G (as it was on the old computer). Then double-click the Lightroom from the old computer catalog to open it, and everything should be good.
