• I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp.

  I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

  Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

  Yes.

  You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

  Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

  You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

  The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

  If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):

  Hello

  Battery CMOS is needed to keep the BIOS settings.
  It seems that the CMOS battery is empty if you need set the date and time always in the BIOS settings. But the CMOS battery has nothing to do with the floppy drive.

  Unfortunately, Halo 2 does support Windows Vista and more.  Windows XP is not supported.  There may be 3 party hacks that can make it work, but they are not taken in charge and potentially dangerous.

• CP3525n no Ethernet does work even with the new Council of the trainer.

  Hello. I have a HP CP3525n. There is no seeing or the answer whether when I connect to the ethernet port on the printer. The original formatter Board is CE859-60001.

  I ordered a new one at HP, CE859-60002, but I guess it should be entirely compatible even the chips on it have the same model. There is still no light from the Ethernet port, after the use of different cables which work fine on my PC.

  I've updated the firmware to the latest version (via USB cable). I printed the entire tree for the printer and I see not all parameters associated with the networking (usually have access to them on the network).

  I don't have an EIO card, but I suppose it should not be necessary (?). There is a small sign on the back of the printer that I can open to peak inside the printer to see the internal Board, nothing look damaged, but perhaps its something in there that is damaged causing the Ethernet to not work even with a new trainer Council?

  I solved the problem, it was very easy. Just had to hold the "Check" button while the printer is switch on and wait three led flash, then on LAN on-board.

  Now, I'm having a problem with a HP 4250. It has a Board which have no ethernet. I traded with another Board that performs on the first boot I think the built-in JetDirect menu. But he has been on static IP so I switched it to DHCP, then transformed it works. Next time, it lit, the built-in JetDirect menu disappeared. Even the secret menu at the start of the printer, there is no option to turn on the LAN. Even the Ethernet port is turned on.

  I have the HP 4250 updated to the latest firmware from here and it doesn't help. I have a feeling that this firmware has no network feature perhaps?

• Access to the floppy drive crashes Windows with code: 0X000000F7

  After you have installed the Windows XP updates a week ago (10/22/09 - while others seem to have gotten 0x000000E7 BSOD), my computer hangs when you try to use the floppy drive.  Neighbor has same problem.  However, another neighbour, who did not install the updates since 1 September doesn't have this problem.  We use Windows XP.  I even created a file on the diskette using the player of the 'good' of the neighbor and tried in my computer and the neighbour - always crushed the two machines.  Saw post to that topic or similar problem the other day, but he lost it when I hit the wrong button and cannot find him. Help!

  He is now 10/29 (5:20 pm EDT), and after three days of trying to solve this problem, I'm really frustrated.  Carefully removed eight updates installed since 14/10/2009. I removed them one at a time in reverse order, they were installed (LIFO) and I tried using the floppy after each removal drive, but still get BSOD. My BIOS/CMOS watch floppy drive and my device manager says its working. I even deleted the physically and in the BIOS, floppy drive deleted the contoller of floppy and drivers floppy drive in Device Manager. restarted and other devices working properly.  Reinstalled drive, reset the BIOS, restarted and Windows loaded automatically (as checked in the Device Manager) drivers - always get BSOD when trying to read the disk.

  I would have completely uninstalled CA, except that this user really liked the CA email spam filtering. So, I disabled the antivirus and antispyware of all parties and uninstalled the CA Personal Firewall, and here, the floppy drive has started working. I then installed the new Microsoft Security Essentials to prvide a / v sp and psyware protection.

• USB 2.0 Slim Portable optical drive works only with Windows 8

  I recently bought an external optical drive (USB slim portable optical drive;) DVD + RW/BLU-RAY disc).

  Hello

  It is possible that the drive is faulty, but there may be a setting of conservation of power on your laptop, originally a problem as well...

  If you go to Power Options... 'Change Plan settings' on the right in blue text... then 'Change advanced power' also in the blue text, you will get a window where you can change the default power settings.

  You can temporarily disable or modify everything related to your USB...

  You can also go to Device Manager... 'Bus USB controllers' and see if you can determine what Hub or your disk controller is attached to and temporarily disable power save...

  Maybe it's that your computer does simply not provide enough power to the drive...

  Can you pass the cables to different ports to see if that helps?

  You have all the gadgets AC adapter that power via a USB connector, you can try?

  You could try a friends computer or something for a simple test...

  USB 3.0 has a higher power to try to resolve many of these issues.

• Re: Toshiba Store Alu 3.5 "1 TB HARD drive works only with Windows 2008 64-bit

  Just bought this as a backup device for Small Business Server 2008 running on Windows 2008 64-bit. However it does not? Are there drivers anywhere for this or it is simply not supported and I need to buy an alternative solution?

  Plugged into my laptop Windows 7 64 bit and no problems.

  Someone else had the same problem?

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no other software by download.
  I checked the driver page Toshiba in the Options area but didn't find anything

  AFAIK it of a plug & play HARD drive if you n t need any software to recognize the HARD drive

  There may be a password.
  Try this:
  Connect your HARD drive to the computer when the HARD drive is working
  Select the CD drive with your browser (password)
  Run the ONSPCLCK.exe
  Select 'Options '.
  Select "Disable security password"
  Enter your current password
  Unplug the HARD drive
  connect the HARD drive

  Now, it will work, but with no password protection. Perhaps it would work

• DeskJet F4180: F4180 driver works only with Windows 10

  Printer prints all bad, except the dark colors. Turns red magenta, green is dark blue etc.

  Printer worked fine with win xp.

  Test page prints perfectly without error

  Using the prints to photocopy an exact color copy - it's just data coming directly from the computer which is incorrect, so the work of does'nt driver properly with win 10. I checked that I have the latest version of the driver 6.1.7600.16385.

  I have noted this problem has already been spotted upward - when a new driver is available?

  or can anyone suggest a work around.

  Printer I tried with my laptop win10 and the fault has been the same.

  Printer I tried with my old desktop winxp and the rift was healed - perfect impression of a jpeg file.

  Reconnected printer back on my desk win10 and printed on the same jpeg file and printing was perfect!

  Have you tried a few other files that I had problems with and prints are very well - can only be assumed that the problem was down to the usb connector.

  Thanks for the help

• Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive works only with the MacBook Pro - Solution?

  I recently bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB Solid State Drive for mid 2012 MacBook Pro father. The computer was working properly, but it was just very slow. I took the old drive and installed the SSD. I took it to an Apple store so that they could install the OS. A guy at the Genius Bar met with me and first tried to install the OS via the Ethernet cable. It is impossible to install some general error. He then tried to install it on a disc. Which also failed. He said he was not familiar with the type of error that he saw. But he said it was a mistake 'bad '. He said he saw the SSD for my SATA cable worked. He concluded that the reader must be defective. I explained how it is virtually impossible because they have a rate of close to zero. He said: "well they are produced en masse" and explained how they could install a hard drive themselves for some too expensive price. A bit annoying.

  In any case, I took the SSD back to my house and threw it in my desktop PC. It works very well. Then what should I do? Why am I not able to get the SSD to install it? From what I read, the Samsung 850 EVO should be compatible with a MacBook Pro 2012. Can I do to install it at home? Is that all I can say people at the Mac store to help them along?

  Most likely, the drive is formatted for use with Windows computers. First step would be to format correctly for Macs.

  This is Mac OS extended (journaled) with a GUID partition map.

  OS X will only be installed on a properly formatted disk.
