  Hi guys,.

  I'd love to help I bought a HP DV6-3042TX about a year and half ago.  I hadn't used for a while and when I turned it on, he had to do updates etc. for windows 7.  These all downloaded and installed.  However after they have installed I couldn't restart my computer.

  I did a diagnostic boot test and got in return

  Hard drive 1

  This mean that my hard drive is actually dead and replacement needs? If so is anyway to recover my files and what model of hard drive can I replace it with?

  Any help would be great

  Thank you

  Hello

  The drive Self Test (DST) short error seems to indicate the hard drive is faulty and must be replaced.

  Regarding your existing files, a possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is following the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can run from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.

  Replacing the hard drive is a fairly simple procedure.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive for laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins Page 55 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVDs to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - see here for more details.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

• Why my iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) cannot run Windows 10 in boot camp? And if he can't, he would work in something like parallels?

  Why my iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) cannot run Windows 10 in boot camp? And if he can't, he would work in something like parallels?

  To be honest, Windows 10 is compatible with your Mac, but Apple does not release from Windows 10 drivers for it. There are various guides on the Internet to install the drivers for Boot Camp Windows 10 even if your Mac is not supported, but follow them at your own risk (don't forget that you won't receive help to make).

  However, you are free to run Windows 10 on a virtual machine. To do this, you can use Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox, but remember that a virtual machine will give you less performance than Windows natively on your iMac. Read-> Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

• Windows is preventing me to download and install games on computer.

  Hidden object games are blocked by Windows saying that they are corrupted files or missing something. Whenever I get a somewhat different message. The games that I downloaded and installed previously are too blocked. I'm pretty much computer illiterate so I can't be more specific, but I called so-called experts and they have not been able to solve this problem. As I have not had any problems for a year, that I do not understand why it started to happen. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and the same thing is happening on it.  Other types of computer games do not do this.

  Maria,
  It is certainly a strange situation.  Let us know the results of trying to install it on your other computer.  If possible try my suggestion to download it from a PC and a completely different location and put it on a disk or usb drive.  Copy it to your PC, and then try to install it.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• After office 2010 download and install, PC with xp crashed

  I downloaded MS office pro plus 2010. He installed himself, and then he said that I needed a reboot to complete the installation. I answered Yes. After the restart, got the famous blue screen. I turned off the computer, wait about 20 seconds and then restarted, it as has been suggested on the blue screen. The computer is on, but nothing appeared on the monitor and the computer does not start. I can hear it running, but he did not sound at startup. Tried a couple of times with the same result. Is it possible that the installation of Office caused the problem or just a coincidence in time of another failure of a component? Any suggestions on how to fix? I am running Windows XP. Thanks for your suggestions.

• Updates to Windows Vista after a complete reformat

  Hi, I reformatted recently my husband old laptop to give to my youngest daughter. Everything fine until I start the Windows updates. There are 93 of them altogether and looking at the dates there are 25 of 2007, about 30 in the rest of 2009 and 2008. I tried to make them all at once and more than half fail and I get a boot error after reboot that I end up having to repair with a restore point.

  Then I tried to install all 2007 the and it worked fine until I installed updates in 2008 and I was back to the startup error. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

• How long does take to install updates for Windows Vista after a new installation?

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix an old computer that I had lying around the House. She has Windows Vista installed.

  Today, I performed a clean installation of Windows using the recovery partition to try to make things a little more zippy.

  I know that Windows Vista is released some time ago, so I know there will be lots of updates for me to install. My question is how long approximately would it take to install all updates and get the operating system? It's a very slow computer at first.

  Thank you

  There is no way of knowing.  It is dependent on the speed of your connection, your CPU speed, etc.  They can even not available altogether at the end of standard support for Vista time.
