failed to reinstall Vista, the capacity of the hard drive has disappeared

I have a HP Pavillion desktop computer. Recently, my PC went crazy, I think he might have a virus or something. I forgot to renew my anti-virus software. I have at least 2 problems that left me mouth gaping. I uninstalled Vista, I tried to reinstall from my recovery disc, the re-installation always hangs up after that both CD is installed, after the CD is ejected last PC will try to start but the result is a blue screen I can't remove by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete. When the blue screen is gone, the PC is running at a slower pace. The PC is equipped with a 500 GB hard drive. Another problem is that the 'C' drive indicates 48.8 GB size and drive "D" indicates 9,76 GB. I don't know what happened to nearly 450 GB of space which should be in the C drive. Someone knows something like that? Thank you

Problem with the HP recovery process, you will need to contact them.

The recovery process is supposed to consider return to how you bought.

But it is Recovery HP process, not Microsoft.

See you soon.

  • I noticed that my user name in the C drive has disappeared and is displayed under the desk

    original title: save files on the net / backup of the files in the C drive

    These 20 to 30 days, I noticed that my user name in the C drive has disappeared and is displayed under the desk. In addition, whenever I try to save a file on the net on my laptop, this allows me to record only at this location:

    C:\Users\vijai\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\vijai\Documents

    Also in the Solution Explorer, while all other folders category, like documents, pictures, music etc appear in the left panel, these do not appear in the right panel. I also note that a "Application Data" folder appeared under my user name and all files stored in this folder only.

  • How to read the Notes of Apple recovered from the HARD drive has crashed

    I tried to use DiskWarrior 5 to repair the hard drive that crashed on the previous laptop I was using (Macbook Pro mid-2010 7.1) last year.  I was running OS X 10.9 Mavericks for sure, and I'm almost certain that I had updated to OS X 10.10 Yosemite at the time where the hard drive crashed.  DiskWarrior does not completely fixing the reader, but I was able to recover most of the important files that I needed back.

    The only thing that I still have to get back that I really wanted were my Notes of Apple (not sticky).  I could save a few files com.apple.Notes with these files:

    NotesV1.storedata

    NotesV1.storedata - wal

    NotesV1.storedata - shm

    I tried to add the .html extension and open it in TextEdit, and Safari, and I see a lot of code, but none of my actual notes.  I noticed at the top of the NotesV1.storedata file, it says: SQLite 3 format, which leads me to believe that SQLite might serve to open/decode what I so that I can actually read.  I don't know anything about SQLite except that it can be opened and used in the Terminal, and it is already installed by default on my current computer which is a Macbook Pro mid-2012 (9.1).

    Here's a sample of what I see if it helps.

    Someone who knows what I'm doing and who also knows what they are doing can give me instructions step by step on how I can open these files with SQLite in the terminal, or decode, or something.  And no, unfortunately I do not have a back-up hard drive anywhere, and I was using iCloud in time.

    SQLite is a database format.

    Your Mac must have an integrated tool to read these files, it's a Terminal command that has this manual...

    https://developer.Apple.com/library/Mac/documentation/Darwin/reference/ManPages/ man1/sqlite3.1.html

    If it's too hard, you can try an app like...

    https://www.sqlitepro.com/

    .. .or one of the many that are discussed at...

    http://StackOverflow.com/questions/100959/Mac-SQLite-Editor

    You must open the "NotesV1.storedata", you may have to search in different tables to find relevant data, the data will be broken so that the pieces are unique, it is usually how are structured databases, if you need everything intact (as dates change etc) you need to perform queries to retrieve relevant items. Otherwise, you can export in CSV or other formats via this application.

    I recommend you change the original & working on a copy, just in case you save the changes.

    I don't think that this database is encrypted, but it is possible so post back if all of this sounds like gibberish. Also keep in mind that the data should not have images or other multimedia files that can be put in place, sometimes they are kept in databases as files.

    Another option is to find the location that the Notes.app stores these databases in your user account, you may be able to place these copies & get the app to read. Ideally, you would have a similar version of the operating system installed to do this.

    The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,

    Another interesting fact:
    After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
    for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
    I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

    The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

    INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

    UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

    Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

    Select Services

    Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

    Stop Windows Update

    In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

    Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

    Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

    Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

    Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

    I hope this helps!
