Equium A210 - Question on two 2 hard drives using Vista

• Formatting hard drive using Vista Home Premium

  I am a 1.5 TB hard drive formatting and it seems to be suspended at around 73% is - this normal and how many hours must this process normally take. I had to cancel the formatting process, once for lack of time, but he had run for about 12 hours. There was a quick format option, but I decided not to take this option. Still, the process seems running and says in disk management that the hard drive is formatted. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi Pendockman,

  Most users use the quick format option. 1.5 TB of hard disk is a lot of space for formatting. It also depends on whether the player is connected or connected via USB internally. USB, of course, will be the slowest. A quick Google, I saw 1.5 hours for well over 12 hours. If fully shaped many users start the process in the night and then go to bed and hope that the process is complete the next morning.

  If it is a new drive, then it would have been formatted by the manufacturer.

  Unfortunately, you have only two options. 1 / a quick format or 2 / launch a full format and just leave until she finishes.

• Question of Partition of hard drive recovery Vista

  I tried to repair my Vista OS using the recovery hard disk partition.  It did not work.  Instead, my laptop (dell inspiron 1545) continue to boot normally without doing a repair.  So I guess something is wrong with my operating system may not be able to access the recovery partition, or the recovery partition is corrupted.  If I do a complete vista reinstall with the OEM that came with my laptop disks, this recovery partition will always be there or it will disappear?  If it is there, I will be able to use it in the future to repair my computer if necessary, or will it be an empty recovery partition?

  Hello

  The recovery discs are back to exactly how you bought new

  The recovery Partition is not not to make repairs; It is to reinstall the operating system configuration (new State); do the same thing as the recovery disks.

  It's the opinion of Dell on how to use their Vista recovery Partition;

  "Restore your software Computer´s factory settings."

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

  Dell also has diagnostic software to solve computer problems:

  "How to run Dell 32-bit Diagnostics utility"

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=52057

  And here's how to use the Dell recovery disks:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&CS=19&l=en&s=DHS&docid=DSN_339949&isLegacy=true

  Nornmally, you receive one or the other with a new laptop: disks or a recovery partition to make yourself recovery disks.

• Time Machine backup to two separate hard drives

  I want to have two full backups separately on two different hard drives, and I want to Time Machine for updating each drive separately so I always complete backup two drives.  How is that possible?

  Depending on what version of operating system you use, go to System Preferences/Time Machine and click on add or remove backup disks. After you add the first diskette, click again and add a second drive. The ability to add 2 or more drives has been implemented in Mountain Lion.

  What are the BCD entries to TWO instances of dual boot of Vista professional in TWO separate hard drives? -Dell Vostro 1710, my wife had to be returned to Dell, I installed its Vostro hard drive in my Dell Vostro 1710 SAME, but I don't get a menu starting double when I turn on my Vostro.

  The easiest way is to use the DualBoot Pro.  He has the tools to write the necessary code automatically.  It is excellent for managing the tasks you want to do.

  However, you have a potential license problem.  Even if your Dell has the exact code in the BIOS to activate the copy of Windows on the hard drive of your wife, the computer is only allowed for an OEM copy.  If Dell is back after repairs then you should be OK once you have turned on the hard disk in his computer of your wife. You can delete the entry of additional start with DualBoot Pro menu,

• loading html document stored on the local hard drive using the 'flash' button

  Hello! I use adobe cs 5.5 flash (action script 3), and I need to load an html document into my hard drive using the 'flash' button I tried navigateToURL (thanks kglad). Here is the code:

  quizstart_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, arithmeticlesson);

  function arithmeticlesson(event:MouseEvent):void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest("file:///C:/quiz/truequiz.html)", "_blank");

  }

  But I want to play my flash file to the other computer. In order to access the truequiz.html, I'll make a folder named quiz to C:\.

  How can I load this html file to other computers without creating a folder to C:\? Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm new coding. Thanks in advance!

  Is there another html file that includes the swf file?  If so, it is in a different folder, then you need to adjust the path so that the swf file target html file as if it were in the same folder as the html page that incorporates.

  Are other than that, you getting any kind of error message from security to try to link to the page in this way?

  I really enjoyed my visit here.  We went in February, the coldest time of the year, and when I got my mother-in-law apologized for the cold, it was then that I was just there dripping with sweat.  Where I am now (upper NY) it is-10 degrees...  If here and there, I'd be a temperature controlled indoor environment.

• Computer HP laptop slim 500 GB HARD drive: used for HP laptop HARD drive upgraded to Win 10 Pro with key now stuck after HP Drive Encryption Login

  I bought a portable hard drive used HP for the upgrade of my Lenovo G550 with ugraded CPU with Intel's CORE DUO T9300 2.50 ghz

  (HP hard drive: computer laptop slim drive HARD 500 GB SERIAL ATA DISK DRIVE S/N W627S9NL P/N 756731-001 MFG Seagate Technologies DOM 8 / 2015)

  I was happy to see that the hatd drive had already installed because Windows 7 I had bought already separate legitimate Windows 10 Pro license key for the upgrade. I was able to go online and download the upgrade of Windows 10 and used my purchased license key to activate my updated.

  While doing the installation, there are some HP software that was still on the hard drive. I thought it would be good to have some additional security protocols, so I also installed the WinMagic Securedoc Bootloader v1.2.12 and saved the drive encryption HP with the security issues and password for secondary access.

  10 Windows has been activated and everything was beautiful. But when I restarted the laptop, I put my password for windows and then it goes to this screen of disc HP encryption rises. I put the password and it is accepted - and then the screen turns white... not offshore... jblank TEU with a cursor flashing that doesbn can't react to inputs.

  I tried leaving it for a day or so and still nothing.  There is nothing I can change in the configuration of the BIOS that works so far.

  I also tried Reimage download on USB and re-creation of the sequence of boot, but not good. Even tried a boot drive, but nothing there either. I'll try again.

  I don't know where to go or how to get beyond the screen of HP encryption.  I am pretty good at following directions, I don't know coding, but may do what you suggest to help me fix this problem.

  Can you help me?

  Sorry... I missed the part that you have a license Win10.  I thought you were trying to activate 10 using the OEM HP license and causing problems.

  I do not use HP encryption applications - as having recently completed a career in the InfoSec, I personally focus together on the encryption of the PC to be laughable-, but my guess is that you are basically out of luck.

  If it was my drive, I WIPE the drive of all its content and then again install Win10.  A good product to do i.e. DBan: http://tiptopsecurity.com/how-to-securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-with-dban-erase-your-data-for-good/

  Once your disc is clean, then simply install Win10 on it.

  That said, with a bit of luck, one of the HP EXPERTS will probably come along and tell you how to get around their encryption.

  Good luck

  Yes, I used the built in «Back to the top of the tool» Unfortunately I don't have the CD. My Netbook is a HP mini computer that comes with Windows XP home. Thank you for your help and I hope to hear from you again.

  I suggest you call HP support.

• FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

  How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

  Hi MVRMVR,

  Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

  I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

• My users will not be displayed when I slave my hard drive with Vista on a computer running Windows 7.

  How can I solve this problem and have my admin and my user appear in the directory?  My hard drive went out on me on my other computer, so I tried to slaves in the top of the tower.  All other folders appear in my directory, but not users.  There are default user on this subject.  Can I use a data recovery software, but it will take a day and a half to get the files.  I ran the program of restoration of data for a few hours and it has recovered some of the pictures I want.  So I try to see if I'm doing something wrong, before investing in the recovery of the entire file.  Thank you.

• I don't see the entire hard drive under Vista. When I try to shrink a volume, I seem to lose space.

  Original title: I see all the hard drive under Vista

  I see on the C drive properties
  "space used = 143 GB ', and"
  "494GB of free space.   But, when I try to do a third partition to install windows 7, using the disk management tool, after I click on
  shrink the volume on drive c, I don't see that: ' available shrink space: 79, 917 MB ' and I also see 'total size after shrink in MB = 573891'.  I expect all the free space 494 GB available shrink.  I'm wrong.    Why all the 494GBs are not available to reduce or at least half of it, I guess that instead of only available to shrink 79Gs!
  In addition, currently, I have three partitions.  For vista, office and other programs and data, C D like Factory Image of HP, a 11.3 GB and yesterday I made a partition for windows 7 with 48.83GBs and installed windows 7 Professional there.  Then I realize, I need more space to install office and other programs and data.  This is when I tried to shrink the c drive and encountered this problem.
  Can you please help me
  Thank you

  Hello

  you do not shrink the C: drive and then expand the E: drive back in the space that you did

  You cannot extend a drive backward

  and I gave you a link to read and use on the problems of shrinkage

  If as a result of the information on how vista disk management work does not fit what you want to do, you may need to buy 3rd party partition software
