  Assuming that your model never came with a DVD of recovery:

  2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
  4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  5. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  6. Set the GUID partition scheme.

  I just need to make the boot inherited from the bios, like that he started directly from the hard drive and does not need of any software pre installed HP to start.

  Thanks for your help anyway

• Two hard drives - what to set the page file to?

  I have two hard drives, Windows is installed on C:, what should I set my page of the settings file for better performance? Hard drive space is not a problem, I have a 250 GB and a 1 TB drive, both are less than half full. I have 3.25 GB of RAM DDR2.

  I heard move the swap file on a second hard drive is beneficial, because the OS files and the page file could be consulted at the same time. Defining a very large page file or file page on both drives will hurt performance? What is a variable size compared to a matter of constant size?

  It shouldn't be noticeable performance difference if the swap file is bigger than "necessary".

  If your system can it take into account, it is considered generally to be a performance advantage to put the file on a different physical disk than the operating system is installed, provided the other player does not see many IO already.

  By using a constant size / fixed can eliminate fragmentation of the file page that can occur if it is sized dynamically.

  If you anticipate relying heavily on the swap file, maybe reconsider and add more RAM to the system, if possible, or upgrade to a 64-bit computer and the operating system that is able to handle more RAM.

• Sectors defective HARD drive on the Qosmio F60 series

  Hello

  For about the last 6 months, I struggled to determine what was causing crashes repeated on slowdown on my Qosmio F60, which was aged under 2 months.

  Unfortunately I am currently not in the country of purchase and don't have an international warranty. I had to reinstall the entire operating system and all the software used (think the or not!) more than 6 times.

  Finally, I installed Norton Ghost 15.0 to be able to avoid reinstalling again and back up important data. When you use Norton Ghost I had to run chkdsk /r on the hard drive and now the real problem surfaced.

  This machine had a hard drive which behaved as if it was very old. Continous bad sectors where being generated. Which means that I had to replace the so-called new hard drive.

  What I want now is the specifications for the internal hard drive. for Qosmio F60 14 R machines. Because I don't have a domestic guarantees, I would rather replace the drive myself, than to hire a service charge.

• Defective hard drive of IMPORTANT

  I had a broken hard drive, and when I called technical support, I was told that they would send me a new, and I had to send my old one back so that they can see it's really broken.  I have data than the hard drive I need.  Why it can not be returned to me?

  If it's really bad, then it will not do you much good.  You can or perhaps are not able to obtain all the data for that.  If they replace the drive under warranty, then you are allowed to the old drive.  If you buy a replacement drive, then you are.  In addition, if you buy a replacement drive, you can save some data from the old disk before sending it again.  Search for a utility like this CD: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

  or http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page

  to move the data from the old drive.  You don't need operations other than CD or DVD and your hardware player and good course a place to put the data saved to the computer.  Once you get one of the mentioned CD done, the computer will boot from the CD and then you can try to get the data on the failed disk but no guarantee.

• (Redirected) Alienware x 51-replace defective HARD drive help Pls...

  OK, so my x 51 (R1) Blue I screened yesterday and I did my head in an attempt to resolve this... Finally I threw in the towel and decided to factory reset the Player - did not help.  Bought a new drive today and I tried to do a clean of win10 install-I don't have a recovery disk so I used my drive recovery my laptop (XPS-15) and now my office (x 51) think that this is a laptop... so when I go into settings it shows me the CPU in my laptop and my laptop windows product key... This isn't good.

  In the BIOS it still shows X 51, but everything on the new HARD drive shows my laptop recovery info - I thought of widows would detect the info office and adjust - clearly that has not happened.  I tried to boot my windows 10 USB (supplied with my edit on win10 I bought..) and the PC says that it does not find the HARD drive (although I say it can boot from USB...)-when I use my XPS15 USB recovery that works very well.

  So long story short.

  1. how to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my X 51? even if the system came came with Win8.

  2. clean install to win 10 show the good stuff "Alienware" on my computer that was there before?

  3. using a Win10 USB does not work - it keeps giving me the error message that says "drive HARD internal not found to fix this problem, try reinstalling the drive. No bootable devices"- is when I have the win10 USB provided with a brand new version on Windows in USB? I don't get it... to clarify the USB ONLY it recognizes is the USB of recovery I did for my XPS15 - its as it only recognizes the other dell stuff only... very frustrating

  4. How can I get my drivers for the NIC for my X 51? My xps15 has no ethernet port port has therefore had no need for drivers - so I guess that the recovery has not installed the drivers ethernet either... Cannot access the internet atm

  5. any other help to get my x 51 work as if it were would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• With the help of product recovery CD when the hard drive replaced

  Hi all

  It seems that my hard drive is defective, so I bought a replacement, installed in the laptop OK and tried to use the Toshiba product recovery disc. The laptop started with the disc OK and recovery of product starting screen appeared and I started the process. The process starts, but then crashes and no matter how much time wait nothing further happens.

  I put the defective hard drive, back to and started on the recovery disk and it started and the process started OK.

  The recovery disc can not be used on a replacement hard drive? Surely, this is possible, as hard drives do fail and must be replaced.

  Can someone tell me how to fix it please?

  Thanks in advance!

  In General, you can use recovery image after replacing HARD drive. I did the same thing on my machine.
  It was: is the new HARD drive recognized properly? After Exchange of HDD enter BIOS and check this.
  Before you begin the recovery image installation if please try to set the BIOS to the default settings and try reinstalling the recovery image.

• recovery after replacing the hard drive - pavillion dv6 notebook

  Hello

  I'm about to replace a defective hard drive on my pc, but I'm not sure how to continue the process of windows recovery. I was wondering if I need to contact HP for recovery set despite the fact that I have a recovery disk (D :) on my laptop. I replace the local hard drive (c :)) and I was wondering if the recovery on my pc drive is enough to drive the recovery process?)

  Thanks for your help,

  Hello

  The recovery is actually just a partition on the same physical drive as your operating system, so when the HARD drive is replaced, it will be gone, however there are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition D.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct disk Image ( must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Home Premium, professional etc. ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  You may need, additional drivers and software are in entering either the complete model number or product of your series dv6 notebook no here.

• Satellite L750 - receive messages from ordinary this HARD drive is about to fail

  I have a laptop of PSK2YA - 04K 010 L750 Satellite.
  I get regular messages that my hard drive is about to fail.
  I backed up all my important stuff.
  I did not the recovery discs until I started getting these messages.
  I've been able to create a windows repair disc & also recorded an image of the hard drive on an external hard drive with no problem.

  I bought and installed a Western Digital 750Go WD7500BPKT hard drive replacement.
  I tried to do a system restore using the image I created on my external hard drive
  "I get the following message appears a few seconds after the start of the reimage" the operation failed because of a device error encountered with the source or the destination. (0x8078012D)

  I reassembled the original hard drive & make a set 4 DVD discs using the Toshiba Recovery shortcut.
  I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.
  Don't really know where to go now & am hoping to get a few ideas from people in the know or have been here before.

  HHHHeelp please

  > I tried to do a system recovery using the image I created on my external hard drive

  How did you create this image?

  > I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.

  It looks like the 2nd disc can be read correctly or the 2nd disc was not created correctly.

  I first recommend you to clean the lens of the laser of the reader of CD/DVD alcohol or cotton tip.
  Then try to run the installation by using the recovery disk once more.
  In case this isn't possible, your recovery disk is defective.

  If the recovery disk that is faulty, you have an option to order here:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  The 2nd option would be clean Microsoft Windows disk usage.
  Missing drivers may be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page.

• DST short hard drive failed, code 64XTPH - 00078 M-X87SXG-60RW03

  I experienced detention and the system freezes on my Compaq CQ2909EO desktop. Guarantee was completed two weeks ago, and unsurprisingly the problems started almost immediately after that. He went so far, that I was forced to do a check disk onto another computer with Freecom Dock. Quite a few errors have been resolved, so I installed the drive in my Compaq and method to rearm the system settings and reinstall Win 8. I was able to do the reinstall without problem, but when running Windows updates the system froze again. It crashes every time, the first thing that can happen is the HARD drive light on the front turns off. I knew what to look for in the event log and found half a dozen events like this:

  Event ID 129 - storachi - Reset device, \Device\RaidPort0, has been published

  So I installed the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI and he ran. Everything seems to be ok, but short drive self test (DST) fails with code 64XTPH - 00078 M-X87SXG-60RW03. Does that mean I have a defective hard drive, or possibly a faulty controller? I need to know whether to buy a new player or a whole new non-HP-rendering (more under warranty, please) computer.

  A hard drive DST error usually indicates that the hard disk has failed or is subject to fail and will have to replaced. After replacing the hard drive, please use the support of HP recovery, you created earlier to return the computer to a factory State.

  If you create your HP recovery media when you first set up your computer, please contact the official support of HP in your region / country, via the HP portal to support all over the world, to see if the HP recovery support is available for your computer.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
