Erase hard drive existing "Unauthorized" im said - HELP!

I would wipe my existing hard drive and reinstall, I insert the disk to format the drive, but I like the version of windows on the drive is older than my system and this prevents the formatting and to leave. I then go to work-right click-format station and this prevents me removing the existing material and the answer is the same.

I then started to remove the question a little at a time until I thought it was all gone and cela included some sectors/main program files. Now, the pc is in a good state and I did a system restore, but went so that 50% is rubbish all now.

Can you please let me know how to make a frsh start. The hard drive I use is 250 GB and has only been loaded once to date.

Bob

This means that you have probably installed Service Pack 3, but the disk is not at this level. You can uninstall service packs and do it, and then reinstall service packs and do all the updates of Windows. Or, Google for "slipstreaming" and put your o/s and SP files on a single disc.

  • Can't erase hard drive MacBook Pro - "could not disassemble the drive.

  • hard drive went and HP said not included in the warranty?

    I'm stumped.

    My computer would not start.

    HP now tells me that it is not included in the warranty, since it must have had spilled water on it, or dropped.

    This is not true.

    He has simply stopped working on me.

    How can they be sure that it was not a mechanical problem?

    They told me to call customer service, but the number they gave me 866-442-7029 is not correct.

    What should I do now?

    Well,.

    Finally, we have the bottom of things.

    After agreeing only not treatment of me the gift to the 866-684-3620 (I refused to accept that it is a failure due to misuse and pay the fee), it tells me that there is nothing he can do to help me more.

    "You want me to fully waive the fee and I can't do it."

    So, I asked if there was someone else, I can speak to, superior to him.

    He then "climbed the case", and I got a call a day later, Eric, whose callback number was 877-917-4380 (unit 88). It turns out that Eric is a real, American HP customer service agent. He reviewed the notes and me (hope you're sitting) says:

    Of course, the guarantee is covered and there was no user caused damage.

    The reason I received misinformation of donation to this other number was that I asked that they also return me damaged the old hard disk (that I can try to get the data off it... see this article: http://www.geekyprojects.com/storage/how-to-recover-data-from-a-broken-hard-drive/ )

    )

    and since (the hard drive broke his back) is not included in the warranty, I was being charged for an out of warranty service.

    !!!

    I told Eric that Don does nothing of the sort. He told me that the damage to the car has been documented as being caused user and was therefore not in the warranty.

    Eric told me that misunderstood gift probably notes.

    (Strange thing is that people in India or in as much that the HP number 800-474-6836, also said that the damage is not included in the warranty and I have to pay for it. When I pressed them to find out why this is so, they quoted me the number of 866-684-3620.)

    In any case, I haggled a bit with Eric and he was quite kind to put in a special request that the repair and the former player returned to me with the machine (remember, they throw out otherwise). Indeed, it has been, and I am always grateful.

    Just a couple of points.

    (1) the gift of first wanted to charge me $270 for the new disc repair. When I refused, he says can "take labor costs on and just charge me for parts... $180. Well, google it. Road costs about $40. How honest is that?

    (2) I called this number 866-684-3620 the next day and said the gentleman who responded (this time it's Mark, not Don) what happened. In my innocence, I told him I'm relaying it so that the next time someone asks the old rear drive (I guess his commune... who wants to kick back all their data), you tell them 'it was a damaged caused user. " Well, Mark told me that he couldn't care less and would not do anything with the information that I just gave him. Would not relay it to anyone.

    Later, I realized that the number of 866-684-3620 is not HP, but the number for people to Quanta Computer, which are a company who perform repairs for HP. clearly, it is in their interest to do a repair and to be paid by the owner of the laptop, not HP. (HP does not pay $180 to replace a hard drive that cost me the retail $40!)

    Bottom Line: Don't download jostled by the people of 866-684-3620. Ask that the case "degenerate." You will get a HP person and this time an intellegent and speak English.

    For other examples of complaints of people buffeted by staff at 866-684-3620 (Quanta Computer), just google

    866-684-3620.

    At the end of the day, however, I would like to thank Eric and also HP, to fix my computer and the hard drive back.

  • HPE-495 desktop - HARD drive is u/s, please help to rebuild with SSDS

    Hi all

    [[2 TB Hitachi SATA 3.0 GB/s] HARD drive GL8E]. The current failed HARD drive is connected to the sata1 and there is a spare on the motherboard sata2. Spare power supplies available [CH 4 & ch 5]. Office was running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I would like to install a 840 EVO Samsung 250 GB SSD SATA 3 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1 and a second [still undecided 2 TB Western Digital SATA 3] as data drive.

    These discs are backaward compatible with the existing architecture of SATA - y at - it all isuues with this proposal, would I need to make changes to the BIOS, other than this initial boot off dvd player to install the new windows on the ssd drive?

    Thank you very much.

    If you replace the current HARD drive with SSD in SATA1, new in SATA2 HARD drive and let the CD/DVD in SATA3 on your HP Pavilion Elite HPE-495uk desktop, your computer should boot the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit DVD into the CD/DVD drive. This assumes that the disks are new with absolutely no data on them. You may need to, press the "ESC" key or the "F # ' suitable for your computer, select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  • erase hard drive

    I had to wipe my hard drive on Pavilion dv6. This is because malware destroyed partitions and I had to use EaseUS Recovery Wizard for data recovery. Now, I would like to format the drive, but it is impossible because the Windows CD cannot map the drive. It was very difficult to access this drive on another pc...

    So I'll erase all sectors with Active KillDisk-disk and then reinstall windows. Maybe it works?

    Hello

    Go to Device Manager, right click on the unknown device 1 and select Properties.  Click on the Details tab, choose hardware ID in the drop-down list and post back with the details presented in the title of the value.

    Repeat this step for each "unknown device".

  • I want to add another hard drive to my computer pls HELP

    OK, so I want to add another hard drive for my windows xp, 512 MB of ram and 32 GB of hard drive and it's a Dell Dimension 3000/desktop PC.

    How can I get a new one, how do I know if it is the right type, where I'd get a? Thank you for your help :D

    You look at the manual of your system, see what kind of connection there / what lead types/sizes it can manage and buy appropriately.

    However - given the age of this system - I'm just down, buy an external USB drive and use it.  You will eventually be able to take to any machine use - including the one that replaces the one you have.

  • Export a file of meg 33 made 20 concerts disappear off hard drive, for the sake of help God please

    Hello

    I work in CS5.5 with 6 GB of ram under windows 7.   I really have no idea what causes this problem.

    When I try to export a work area, no matter what the size of the file, either a 3gp 33 megabyte or a 700 meg h264, disappear 20 GB on my drive, it's just 20 gigabytes or more. completely disappear.  How could coding export take a lot of hard drive space, especially when the file is only 33 MB?

    the timeline is 16 hours, but file work area I try to export is only 10 min 720 res, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I don't understand.

    any help would be appreciated.   Thank you

    The source sequence seems to be long (?) about 17 hours. There seems to be something weird going there. I would like to paste the section you are trying to export to a new sequence, then export. I saw a problem with forum before where a guy was trying to make a short section on a ridiculously long sequence and it worked for him. Isolate the section desired to a new sequence not lighten it.

  • Compaq Presario A900: erase hard drive

    We have a Compaq Presario A900 - we want to wipe the hard drive and start over with an installation of Windows 10.

    Could you please tell us the steps to do so.  Thank you.

    KatMc

    Please provide information about the product.

    I was hoping that there was at least HP Win7 drivers for your PC, allowing you to switch to Win7 and try the upgrade to Win10.

    But to control your model, the latest HP drivers are for Vista.

    Which practically excludes the upgrade of your PC at Win10.

  • How can I erase hard drive?

    Reinstall?

    The answer depends on whether you have a retail or generic OEM Windows XP CD or you have a computer where the system was created with a customized version of Windows XP with a backup stored in a restore partition.

    With a detail or generic OEM Windows XP CD, you get the option during the process of the instalation to format the drive. This erases the contents of the disc. With a customized version of Windows XP if you choose to restore the copy of Windows XP from the recovery partition, this deletes all files on the C (System) partition existing...

    If you want to erase all traces of files on a disk, you need to write data on the location where the deleted files on the disc. Put in shape then make all previous files unrecoverable by most users. There may be file recovery techniques that will stilll show what the drive previously contained but few will know how to play files in this situation.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell
