  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

• 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

• Crashed hard drive and must be replaced

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ60-204NR, which is not quite 2 years old. The hard drive broke down. I would first like to know if you can tell me if this laptop is 32-bit or 64-bit, and which drive hard ability then I replace the damaged with? I don't know what is needed to replace the hard drive. This laptop came with Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 1. Thank you. Linda

  Normally, I would ask you if you are running 32 or 64 bit, but according to your specifications you are running 2 GB of RAM, which would indicate that it is 32-bit. It takes at least 3 GB of RAM to run 64-bit.

  You can use almost all SATA 2.5-inch drive in it. The largest capacity as 1 terabyte or more are too thick and doesn't work.

  I'd go for at least 500 GB drive at 7200 RPM / min. Seagate is a nice hybrid drive that is fast enough and is still affordable.

  Install the new drive and use your HP recovery DVD to reinstall your operating system.

  Do you know how to replace a hard drive?

• Wiping Hard Drive, Reinstalled with Windows 7 with upgrade disk product key error

  My computer has been acting upward, so I back up hard drive and erased the hard drive with the BACK CLEAN ALL command. I then reinstalled windows 7 from my Windows 7 Upgrade disk and restore my files on hard disk. The computer works fantastic and returned half of the memory of the hard drive. A few days later, I get a message on the screen that I have 30 days left until I can produce a product key from the original Windows installation, does not accept the upgrade product key.

  I tried the product key located on the bottom of my laptop for Windows Vista comes with the HP computer. It does not work and it gave me no disk backup for Windows Vista from HP.

  I called Microsoft and they told me to contact HP for the product key. I see on this forum that someone else has written a similar plea, because it is a plea, and HP said to contact Microsoft. In other words, Microsoft says to contact HP and HP says to contact Microsoft.

  I use Microsoft since Windows 3.2 operating systems and have bought a lot of products of them. It's my 3rd HP laptop, my wife is on her 2nd HP laptop. Well you know what? If I don't get this resolved quickly by one of your companies, and I'm not remember Microsoft, I'm through the two of you.

  I don't see where Microsoft is not being fooled off but when it's to the detriment of a loyal customer, so don't worry. HP is also responsible for this. An upgraded version of Windows 7 (to upgrade from Vista or XP) should be smart enough (and I thought it was) to remember that I had the original version and its product key should be enough. Also I don't never told me that I had to keep the old product keys, and it doesn't matter anyway because the product key is always available in my laptop HP, but it does not work.

  I'm not buying another HP without your help and actually buying an Apple Mac for my wife and my next computer if it is not resolved. I think that HP is probably as bad as Microsoft so that it will not be solved and I'm not shelling out more money for something I already own.

• 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

• Audio options gone after replacing the hard drive, reinstall Windows and the DVD drivers

  I had to replace my hard drive and I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium DVD.  Now, I've lost a lot of my audio options.  I used to be able to choose between different styles of sound (i.e. Live, pop, classic, etc.) and I had various effect options.  They are all gone.  I tried to update the drivers in Device Manager, but it says I have the updated driver.

  You may need to search the support site of your
  The computer manufacturer or the card manufacturer
  for a driver updated.

  Your description of the sounds "Live, Pop, classic," as
  You may need the latest driver from RealTek.

  Maybe the following article offers some ideas:

• 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.

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.
