• How can I download a recordable CD that has already a few files on it without the software you want to format the drive first!

  I was able to do this on my XP desktop but it crashed and now I use my 64 bit Vista laptop.  There must be a way that I don't see.

  Sorry, but your reply ignores the problem that is the threat to format the disk and erase the existing content if you download a file on this disk. Finally, I discovered that the solution was disguised by the ambiguity of the software.  If you choose "mastered" it of no problem even if the explanation of 'controlled' looks that would destroy the capacity of the disk to receive or delete files "under control" and future - only formats the drive before you download a file on it! Equal stupidity on my part and the author of the software.

• PHANTON Drive; When I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.

  Hello

  I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  The HARD drive is configured to have a small partition for reserved system, Partition C for the system and the Partiton E for my files.  D drive is the DVD ROM Drive.

  Very occasionally when I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.  I did not have a permanent Drive F and when this happened had no other connected devices.

  Drive F is often used, as are other drive letters, by various devices from time to time, such as external hard drives, Flash, my TomTom SatNav players, camera, readers of cards etc.

  Can someone explain why this happens and if I can do something to stop what is happening in the future?

• How to format the drive "C"?

  How to format my 'C' drive which is clear of all my files and programs? I want to sell my computer but don't want anything of mine on the disc.

  Hello

  You format the drive as part of the resettlement process.

  Do a clean reinstall of the operating system of your computer to the factory settings; State new, as it was purchased.

  But remember that nothing is definitively deleted; only the 'flag' to where the files are located is removed.

  It is a good program to use to wipe the hard drive of most of the attempts to access your information 'deleted '.

  http://www.DBAN.org/

  Then install the own.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  See you soon.

• Where can I get a copy of the Windows XP installation for my sister. His was a virus and I had to format the drive. It's a registered computer

  Where can I get a copy of the Windows XP installation for my sister. His was a virus and I had to format the drive. It's a registered computer. I have it ready for the operating system but I need to download a copy so I can retrieve my CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive, so I can then bring to its system and reinstall the XP and then if she wants that we can get a windows 8. I use windows 8 on this system, I bought a few months ago and it's satisfying, but I don't understand why when I got it I could do things like using the keyboard of the screen with my fingers, but now I can't even use the keyboard mouse. It won't work at all. In a way I found it better that way at the beginning because I do a lot of typing and it would freeze until I was constantly stressed. I returned to Windows 7 mode I think but not sure.  All I know is that these two things have never worked correctly, so if they are still under warranty I will bring to the Future Shop and maybe they can fix it. I wish I could turn on and off easily so it does not interfere with my writing and study of a language second.

• Your drive is not formatted, format the drive to access

  I have a Transcend 320 GB Portable drive. Yetserday till it was working fine, but now when I connect it, it shows the drive in my computer, but I'm unable to open, whenever I try to open the drive, it gives me the error that I need to format the drive to access.

  I have a lot of data stored in my portable player and its very important. Please help me solve this problem, I want to access this hunt with formatting it.

  Please answer ASAP, I'm very worried about the data...

  Try connecting the drive to another computer.  If you can read the files there, make copies of them somewhere outside the portable drive.  If you can not read files with the drive attached to another computer, then it is likely that the drive has a problem and maybe the files are not recoverable except by a professional recovery service.

  Hi Ganeshsiva,

   

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  From your description, it seems that you want to know how to format the D drive that has the Windows XP operating system.

  I'll be happy to help you. This issue could be caused because the Windows XP operating system is already installed in the drive cannot be formatted directly and must be connected as long as administrator.

  Follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

  I suggest you to save all the current date in the D drive and try to format the drive.

  Create and format a hard disk partition:

  Note: Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to back up any data you want to save before you begin.

  Hi Sunny,

  This problem could occur if the files are hidden.

  We will check if there are all the hidden files in the player. To verify that the same as follows:

  Check now if all the files or folders are appearing in the player.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to check if there are all the files in the drive through command prompt.

  a. press Windows Key + r

  b. type cmd and press enter.

  c. in the open prompt window, type the following commands one by one and press enter after each command.

  : (e.g. d :)

  dir

  d. This will show all the directories or folders in the drive.

  e. check for all the folders inside the car.
