• Here's a strange. I have a HTML page with this time a wmv video. It works perfectly from a USB stick or SD card, but does not work when they are copied to the hard drive

  I have an HTML page created with web expression 4. It contains only a wmv video. It works perfectly when it is called from a USB stick or SD card, but does not work when they are copied to the hard drive. The results are the same with IE and Firefox. It don't make no difference if I use Media Player V9 or V11. He has no control on the page Media Player. Video and html files are in the same directory. Here is the code snippet:

• Copying files between hard drives problem

  Hello

  I have problems copying files between hard drives on my computer. I was having this problem on Windows 7 and Windows Vista, but never met him on XP.  It seems that there are several similar topics, but I think I've noticed a few oddities in my own experience...

  I have several drives, between 500 GB ~ 1 TB.  Problems arise when I try to copy a folder with a large number of files (pictures, records about 4 GB in size, typically).  Initially, the transfer rate would be HD burst speed, somewhere between 90 MB to 150 MB.  Speed would be reduced to about 30 MB, or even lower.  The transfer ends by becomes so slow that the operation would take hours to complete.  If I try to cancel, it would take minutes to do.  The computer run slowly for a long period of time, with an offset of intermittent until I have to reboot the system.  This occurs regardless the source and destination drives.

  On some Samsung drives, this problem is actually lead to the corruption of data on the source and destination drives and i/o error messages.  CHKDSK runs at startup, try to solve the problem, but the data would be lost or unreadable disc.  I have since thrown the Samsung WD drives, do not have IO error, but the file copy problem persists.  I also disabled chkdsk at startup for all readers.

  My drivers and Bios are up-to-date.  Computer is free of viruses and malware.  I have no more trouble with Windows 7.  Curiously, if I compress my folders/files in one RAR file, I have no problems copying (transfer rate remains stable at 30 ~ 50MB).  This leads me to believe that this is not a hardware problem, but a problem with the Explorer of solutions, and that respect more particularly with the number of files transferred rather than size.  (But unpacking these files also lead to poor performance sometimes...)

  Is this a known issue that will be corrected?  I really like Win7, but because I work with large number of files and many backups all the time, stability during the file copying is a must.  I have perhaps to go back to XP, or use another OS entirely...

  I had the same problem;

  My system-

  Windows 7 Pro 64
  Core i7 940
  7200 RPM dual 500 GB SATA
  Gigabit ethernet

  Gigabit ethernet switch
  Gigabit router

  Buffalo NAS 1 TB, RAID 0, Gigabit Ethernet

  -----

  I was getting speeds of transfer of a maximum of 500 / 600 KB/s between the hard drive and network storage drive. I went through a number of * fixed * on the web without success, however, I disabled "TCP AutoTuning" and "RSS" rebooted and voila, I now get speeds of transfer of 9-10 MB / s and from the network drive.

  The fix
  It should be noted that, in addition to this, I have updated to the latest updates for Windows and off the DRC in the Windows Options under programs/features.

  How to disable TCP AutoTuning and receive scalability side

  1. Open a prompt with administrator rights.
  2. Type the following commands, and press enter (the second command on RSS is optional):

     netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled
     netsh interface tcp set global rss = off

  3. Restart the computer.

• Options of data recovery for crashed HARD drive

  My friend HARD drive gone bad. She has not saved. She has her thesis on it (any resemblance to characters from the fictional movie, living or dead, is coincidentalt. "It's true).

  I know there are options to recover the data. But I'm not familiar with all of them and how much they cost.

  One of her friends which is a network administrator, and continued his studies of masters in computer security will attempt to recover the data for it. I fear that it may just try to boot from a CD and try to read the data, which can worsen the damage.

  What other options does have?

  Thank you

  If it crashed, she may need data recovery specialists.

  These are some $$$.

  You can read this:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• crashed hard drive... need help with original windows 7 Home premium 64-bit on new h.d.

  a win 7 64bits h.p... a h.d. failure... installed a new h.d. which had vista (sp2) h.p. on and I want my windows 7 back... is there anyway to give the product I.D. is on the side of my Tower for the microsoft 7 windows that has crashed and I would like to download a copy on the new hard drive? IM wondering if I need a proof of ownership or what anyone like that I bought from a friend's computer and its probably not in my name... I was wondering if this is a problem major and if theres nothing I can do... maybe download a new copy and just enter the product ID I don't know... IM really not too tech saavy... any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you

  So what you want to do is put windows 7 to replace windows vista on your new hard drive?

  Step 1: Download the ISO file.
  You will need a cache of DVD or a USB flash drive (3 GB or better), if you insert a DVD, then it will ask you if you want to use it with a DVD player or a usb flash drive. Check the box to a DVD player or something similar to this. With a flash drive, you don't have to worry about setting up or anything.
  Download the ISO of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.
  Here is the link:http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso
  Be patient as it can take an hour to download on a medium speed wifi connection.
  Step 2: Burn the disk image to a DVD
  Now that you will burn the ISO on DVD once it's done. To do than go to where ever you downloaded the ISO on your computer and right-click on the ISO file. Now click on burn the disk image.
  Make sure your DVD is inserted. When asked what disc burner, select the drive that you inserted the DVD in. If you have only 1 DVD player you should have only 1 option. Now hit burn and go get coffee or something while you wait.
  Burn the image on a USB flash drive
  But if you don't have a DVD, you can always use a USB flash drive.
  You need to download Universal USB install 
  Now open universal USB install and it will ask you to choose a Linux distro. Keep scrolling down until you find "software based on other or non-linux".
  Select windows 7 Setup from there. Now step 2 hit browse and find where you downloaded the ISO image. Now, select your USB flash drive letter. It takes only 1 option. And click on create. And when it asks you if you want to format? Click Yes.
  DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR FLASH DRIVE PROBABLY ALL THAT FILES WILL BE DELETED IN THIS PROCESS
  Step 3: Boot from your DVD or USB
  Restart your computer, and while it loads the bios, it must be said somewhere boot options. And there will be a F1, F2, F3, or some F key to enter the boot options.
  After that, select the USB flash drive or a DVD drive to start. You will get to the windows installation and you can install windows 7.
  It will ask you your product key. It is in any way illegal.

• Are there any tools to remove emails in doubles (that I had to restore a crashed hard drive)?

  I recently had a hard drive crash and was able to have all data restored on a new external hard drive.

  With the Thunderbird Community's help. I've restored all of my emails also.  However, it seems that I may have restored some of then 2 or 3 times.  Is there any way to automatically delete duplicates?
  

  Win 7 Pro 64 bit, Thunderbird 24.3.0.

  Interesting. I have loaded 2 different modules, and each has worked about 2 or 3 times and then stopped, although I can see there are still duplicates. Oh, well, I can do the rest manually (up to 1000 to 5000), but this has been a great help. Thank you all.

• Toshiba P10-304 crashing, hard drive problems?

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba P10-304 and its going a bit mental fact lately.

  I am running XP Pro and basically it started crashing frequently and then later he came up with the error: media test failure, check, etc.. So, I thought that the hard drive was dead. Since then, I bought a new hard drive (seagate momentus) and formatted correctly and worked fine for 2 days. But now the 3rd day, he began to display similar symptoms like my old toshiba oem drive. It tends to crash frequently, the continuous drive to make a horrible noise even with the system delayed broke down. It also for the first time displayed the same messages error 'media test failure...' but then started restarted fine, but only to the failure to new about 5 minutes later.

  Ive just finished College and do a bit of web design and its really annoying me so I would appreciate any help.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  It may be that the IDE controller is faulty, this explains why the new HARD drive also have problems!

  The only thing you can do is contact a partner of Serivce for a medical examination.

  Good bye

• ITunes Library copy on external hard drive

  So I just copied my iTunes library on an external hard drive and now when I try to play a song in iTunes, I get a message saying that the file is not found. I see the files on my C drive, where they were stored at the origin. What is going on?

  What exactly did you go where? See make a library of portable split. Maybe you can put the parts back together in the correct form on the external hard drive and then shift-Start iTunes to open the library there.

• Crashed hard drive file recovery

  Hello

  I am pulling data from a hard drive crash (Windows XP works badly to the point that MS support could not fix).  I had a pretty basic install, Office, iTunes, some other applications.

  Other than Outlook PST files, are there other data file important figure in areas not in My Documents?  I found the music and documents, but am concerned about other programs that store data in the areas of Documents.  Is Outlook the only program that does this?

  Also, is there a way to recover the Favorites of IE7?

  Thank you

• E-mail to draw from windows mail on crashed hard drive

  He kept having my computer to get the system restore last week and this morning, the computer went kaput. I have a warranty on the computer so I'm not worried about getting the computer fixed, but don't need the files.

  I have managed to connect the hard drive from my old XP computer and am able to get my files and documents on the hard drive, but cannot find out how to get my email from windows and the Outbox to files, so I do not lose important contacts, etc..

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, most likely will be upgraded to Windows 7 when I use the warranty. How am doing e-mail on my computer XP until I get the new computer and restore my files there?

  Hello

  given that you have connected your GS a XP computer
  If you can find the root of the drive, and then navigate to
  : \Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows mail
  and copy all fodler "Local Folders" it includes all your Mails.

  To copy the contacts, go to

• Copy an old hard drive for Compaq laptop.

  I have a Compaq Armada 7380DMT with a noisy (noise that feels like the dentist worn forest is in your head) drive hard 4gig. I want to copy it to a disk good 6gig, with diagnostic partition.

  What utility actually * operation * so that when I install the new drive it starts in ye olde Windows 95 b instead of saying 'Missing Operating system '?

  I tried Paragon Drive Copy 9 Pro with the copy of defining raw partition and Dubaron DiskImage. Or copied the disc correctly so it could start on partition 2, but he could start on the diagnostic partition if I held F10.

  The diagnostic partition is FAT16 with a very bare Windows 3.1 on it, with the Compaq utility as shell instead of program manager program. The other partitions are a primary FAT32 and an extended with a logical partition to FAT32 partition.

  The PC that I have to do the copy with host is a laptop computer running 32 bit Vista Ultimate SP1 and a couple of USB adapters IDE laptop.

  PS, I was do this kind of things computer since nearly 27 years and still have not seen all "fun and interesting" ways to complicate the life of a tech computer companies have set up!

  I couldn't find any disk copy utility that could copy all partitions AND create the thing correctly. Here's what I figure out to make it work.

  1. with the original disc in, press F10 when booting to access the diagnostic partition. Use the options to make the diagnostic and installation floppies.

  2. make a startup with Windows 95 disk, then make a copy on C:\ of MSDOS. SYS and change the name to MSDOS. BAK

  3. right click MS-DOS. BAK, click Poperties and uncheck the box system, hidden and read-only. Copy MSDOS. BAK on the startup disk.

  4. install the new VIRGIN hard drive and start with the diagnostic disk. It will take you through the implementation of a diagnostic partition and install the configuration files / Compaq PC diagnosis.

  5. Insert the startup disk and restart. Use FDISK to create partitions. PARTITION 2 MARK AS ACTIVE. It is 2. TWO. Not 1!

  6. Restart then FORMAT C:/s so the file system will be installed. To format all the others that you have created.

  7 A:\>attrib c:\msdos.sys s h - r

  8 A:\>copy msdos.bak c:\msdos.sys

  9 A:\>attrib msdos.sys + s + h + r

  10. remove the disc, connect it and the old drive to another PC by any means. USB > IDE adapters will work.

  11. on the old disk, use Explorer to go to the volume, which Windows 95 is installed.

  12. you need NOT hide all files and to display the name of Windows file extensions.

  13. press Ctrl a to select all files.

  14 hold CTRL and click on IO COMMAND.COM. SYS AND MSDOS. SYS to deselect them.

  15 drag with the RIGHT button of the mouse on the new drive, release and click on copy.

  16. when it's done copying, stop and then install the new hard drive in the laptop. Start up and you should be to the old windows on a new drive.

  This process works even to switch to Windows 95 and 98 on a new disc using the Win 9 x computer is running. You must move the page file to the root of C:, or to another drive is not in the Windows folder. Format the new drive with the /s switch and when you copy everything, deselect MSDOS. SYS, so it will copy the basic version FORMAT installed.

  It took me a lot of research to find the last disk of Compaq PC Diagnostics making SoftPaq to the Armada 7300 series, because HP does not have it on the downloads page for the driver of the laptop. This is the version 10.40 a, sp16085 number ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp16001-16500/ here the version removes the diagnostic partition configuration option. 10.39 version has, sp12906, keeps the installation program. It's here. FTP://FTP.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp12501-13000/

  I found these SoftPaq numbers on this page. http://Priede.BF.Lu.lv/FTP/pub/OS/Datori/Compaq/Armada_4150/utility/sp16085.html
