• Backup Win XP does not recognize my external hard drive

  Windows XP Backup Wizard does not recognize my external hard drive and does not list it as an option for storing backups.  I suspect a registry problem because the backup wizard previously recognized this drive and saved on it several times before I was running ARO 2012 for cleaning the registry errors.  I can always open the player in windows Explorer and see the files it contains, but Explorer Windows XP now lists the drive as an "expansion disc" instead of a 'removable disk '.  When I right click in windows Explorer and open 'properties' for this drive, it shows it as a 'local disk' instead of a 'removable disk '.  The drive is ok when I click the button 'Remove hardware safely', and it reports "safe to remove hardware" after I click on "USB storage device - Drive (J :). ».  Help!

  Who did.  Thank you!  Now... I used Aero2012 to clean up the errors in my registry that's because my computer is desperately slow, especially when you start (8-10 minutes) and also with internet explore (move cursor to previous typos when you compose a new e-mail message).  Is there a safe way for me to speed up my computer?

• Windows 7 Windows update does not work after replacing hard drive

  Win7 Home Premium and HP Pavilion DV6-2150US.  Failed hard drive.  I bought a Seagate 500 GB replacement (original drive was 250 GB) and used my purchased HP re - install DVD to re - build Windows and reinstall the OEM software on the new hard drive.

  Everything starts fine, but he won't deal of Windows updates (. e. is a big red X on the screen of windows update).  I tried Microsoft "Mr Fix it" download - but it error and none of the other suggestions Microsoft not work either.  When I had the chance to talk with a MS tech support person, she suggested that somehow windows on the new drive is not authentic, etc...  Although windows on the new drive hard indicates that its active and authentic... is there some kind of checking a number of the hard disk 'really' activate windows?

  Just to make sure that my reinstall was not corrupt, I deleted the new hard drive and began in everywhere... I have the exact same result... it boots fine, but will not update through windows update.  The only other change to the laptop was that I had better buy double the memory to 8 of 4 when I bought 2 years ago... once again, do not know if there is a kind of material exchange limitation before disabling the windows software.

  Help, please!  I'm really stuck.  THX JimmyC

  Thanks for your post... I solved my problem by installing the update driver Intel rapid storage through this link:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02219204

  I suppose that as long as the hard drive is lower 250Gig you need not the new driver.  But when I replaced my hard drive failed with a disc 500gig hard - when I did restore HP to Win7 and the OEM software from the dvd, I bought - it put the storage driver original in Win7 - which works very well with a 250 GB drive, but causes the windows update doesn't work is not for readers more than 250gig.   When I installed the driver from the link above file, Windows Update started working - and you can imagine there are many, many fixes since my PC has been restored to original Win7 - doesn't not even Win 7 SP1.

  I hope it helps someone else... thank you for your message.  JimmyC

• Windows 7 RC1 does not recognize my secondary hard drive

  I installed windows 7 RC1 on my system (2 GB of ram, processor E7200, ASUS P5QL-E). I started with 2 x 250 GB hard drives and purchased a 1 TB drive that was on sale. At first, I installed it with all three additional readers, the 1 on the 250 GB drives. All my disks were very well known at this point, but I realized that I have installed windows 7 hard disk that was dying, so I made another clean install. Now the two discs (the second disk of 250 GB and the 1 TB drive) are recognized by my BIOS, but disk management does not see my 1 TB drive. Someone has an idea what here?

  To which I would recommend checking the physical and other connections, maybe turn the system off and remove the disk and all reinstall.  If you have another operating system installed yet, you can also check here and make sure it is fully visible and operational in this still from the BONE.

  Even if Windows decides for some reason he cannot use a piece of hardware, it should be always displayed in Device Manager.  Something very early in the process goes wrong if it does not show here.

  You can put your system to boot and try to run the backup. This disables antivirus software and other third parties to eliminate conflicts.

• Satellite L305D-S5881 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Ok. I've had this laptop for a while now.
  It crashed recently. So, I tried to start it up.
  I got "Winload.exe missing or damaged".

  Fortunately, I found an answer to this!
  I got the Vista installation disc and inserted.
  I had this "PAGE_ERROR_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I fixed too. Stick of 1 GB of RAM to my computer was bad.

  So I replaced it. And during the installation, it hangs. And beeps and undesirable.
  So I thought it was my hard drive. I have a new. (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=431567 please TAKE a LOOK BEFORE RESPONDING).

  I (try) to install and it does nothing.
  I turn it on and it goes to this page with as my enthernet info. Then I go into the BIOS and it appears. I think I could install it wrong.

  Any help?

  Hello

  I think that the new HARD drive is not recognized, because you have not installed the SATA drivers!
  The new mobile phones support the new SATA controller and especially the drivers are not included in the Windows operating system.

  So, you must first include the SATA drivers before install you the operating system.
  AFAIK the L305D supports an AMD and ATI chipset and SATA drivers must be placed in the ATI graphics driver package.

  On the other hand, you could install the operating system without the use of SATA drivers.
  I think that the BIOS must contain the SATA mode option. Usually it s set to AHCI. Pass this option in compatibility mode and you should be able to install the operating system.

  Cheers mate
