  1. consider a Mac and then see #5.

  2. see #5.

  4 elements of it are in system preferences, then the Applications folder.

• formatting startup disk

  Hello

  I recently bought a mac book air and it's the first mac I've ever had. After using for a while and learn how it works, I decided to start from scratch and format my drive. I went in the disc utilities and saw that there is a separately located iso image called OS X Basics. I assumed that there is where the BONE is and I formatted my disk startup or macintosh HD when I tried to restart the system, what he told me was not enough information on the disk to restart. I shut down the system and tried again, but has been facing the same problem. When I tried to reinstall OS X

  He tells me to connect through my apple ID and when I do message appears-"this identifier apple has never been used on the mac app store. There is an option to review my account but when I click on that nothing happens.

  What I would do. Please help, I am an experienced windows user, but completely the uninitiated to Mac.

  A new Mac, if so you have 90 days phone Apple support.

  You could make an appointment of engineering to your local Apple store.

  or read this, but you need Apple ID see the recovery of the Internet section.

  PS as with windows, you will have backups.

  Hello muhammad.

  Before you do anything with this player, you can search online for some data recovery utilities so that you can try to recover your data.

  What operating system do you use?

  Have you tried running chkdsk on the drive?

  Let us know.

• I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP. After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.

  Problem reinstalling Windows XP

  I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP.  After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation.  He goes back and reinstall Windows again.  I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?

  Go into the BIOS and make sure that you your hard drive is not set to off, and that is the first priority boot CD and your second HD.

  Don't push when it restarts anything just to let him do what he does and report back if anything I'm sorry I have no idea.

• my USB won't open it says "you must format the disk hard until you can use it"

  Hello
  I have my brand DANE ELEC 16 GB USB key was the work properly. I took it off wile, he played the song, and since then, I have try to open a dialog box open and said you need to format the hard disk: X before you can use I can't format it because I'll lose my data fields, important documents of songs picters.
  If anyone can help me with it please
  Thank you in advance.

  Because you don't properly stop the disc before removing it, you burned her FAT (File Allocation Table that each player has). Your files are still there, but they can only be read by the 'normal' software... think of a hard drive as a subdivision... formatting a disk (any drive) is like the ranking of all sectors which will be the roads and determine where the accommodation structures (folders) can be placed. When a fat gets grilled, all the rankings and roads disappeared suddenly... but the housing is still there. Recovery software puts the ranking and roads back.

  Is there a software that I used to be called "Rescue" that worked fine on the old disk to FAT32. Costs $60 but it was cheaper than $1000 than for a customer who had sprayed a server hard drive (and replaced their backup before calling me, long story, lesson learned client and I learned the value of disaster planning... but I digress), I was at another time.

  Good luck!! Let us know what you find / use / work... so that you can save we / you... because it will never happen.

  Hello

  I suggest you to check on another computer and see if it opens, if it is not not the diskette is damaged you must format in order to to use again.

  Note: reformatting or formatting of a disk deletes all the data on the disk. Be sure to back up data before doing so.

• USB Flash Drive gives the error "you must format the disk in drive E, before you can use it"

  I just plugged my USB pen and a message pops up saying: "you need to format the disk in drive E, until you can use" I was wondering if and how I can solve this problem? Can anyone help? Sam
  * original title - USB pen problem *.

  Hi samanthaGibbons,

  What is the make and model of your USB Flash drive?

  The USB Flash drive works in any other computer?

  It might be a problem with the drive itself, or it may need to be formatted.

  I suggest you check out the website of the manufacturer for possible troubleshooting or know how to reformat the disk, if necessary.

  I hope this helps!

• "You must format the disk in drive J: before you can use it"

  Says error message "You must format the disk in drive J: before that you can use" I have a removable USB storage drive that I always connected to my computer whenever I have download movies save disk space on my computer.  Now, he wants me to format this disk storage.  Also, where he used to qualify this drive as "Removable disk", it is not labeled as Local J: drive. I don't want to format this drive because it erases all my files and folders on removable USB storage drive.  Please help me.

  I had the same problem.
  And I have a solution for you... The problem is that when you plug in your HD first, Windows 7 install your hard drive and associate it with only this USB port (whether the USB port "4") If you want to use (HD) again, you need to plug it into the same USB port (USB port '4'), where it was first installed. It's stupid! But that's how it worked with my HD.

  Try all USB ports you have on your PC.

  Good luck.

  Hope this has been helpful. : D

  PS: the same problem is with all the damage that connect you to your pc.

  Hello

  I had some problems with Vista is not able to read hard drive when I try to open my Buffalo external hard drive or my camera, I get the following message: "you must format the disk in drive x until you can use it." Vista reads both in RAW format, but I am absolutely certain that they are not - all of the two has worked very well until a few days ago, and both work perfectly on both XP and OS X. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you

  RA

  Hello jaetejou2,

  Thank you for your response back!

  I suggest you to visit the link provided below to the support of Buffalo with your external hard drive.  I don't know your specific model, but there is a search.

  Buffalo support:
  http://forums.buffalotech.com/Buffalo/Board?Board.ID=SolvedStorageThreads

  However, he advised that it was working a couple of days, when you have submitted.  You did it changes on your operating system before this problem?  I suggest to try a system restore to a point in time where everything worked.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

  The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

• External hard drive not detected with the error: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  Hello

  I have an external hard drive to work perfectly. I'm back from vacation, and it does not appear under "My Computer". It appears under "Devices and printers", however. This is a link to a screencap of Device Manager: http://i.gyazo.com/9e91e1d71ed32c55dba0419e79b499d5.png

  The device in question is that of J:, and it says here that he has 100% free space, that worries me, because he had only 50 GB of free space when I used the latter. After that I open the disk management, I get a pop up message saying: "You must format the disk in the J: drive until you can use it."

  How can I get my hard drive appears again?

  Thank you

  Hi Arman,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I would say you can remove the drive letter M: using disk management and assign a different drive for the drive letter and check if it helps you to solve the problem and if the drive works very well.

  To change the drive letter in disk management follow the steps below:

  a. open computer by clicking the Start> Control Panel > system and security> Administrative Tools > computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (b) in the left pane, click disk management.

  c. click the drive that you want to change and then click change drive letter and paths.

  d. do one of the following:

  • For letter an if it has not already received, click Add, click the letter you want to use and then click OK.
  • To change a drive letter, click change, click assign the following drive letter, click the letter you want to use, and then click OK.
  • To remove a drive letter, click Remove, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to remove.

  Additional information:

  Change, add, or remove a drive letter

• Formatting of disk/LUN

  Hello

  What is the best practice for formatting for VMFS disk/LUN. Currently, I have a 1. 6 t storage FSCSI. Formatting of disk/lun options

  The block size of 256 GB, 1 mb

  The block size of 512 GB, 2 mb

  The block size of 1024 GB, 4 mb

  The block size of 2048 GB, 8 MB

  From a performance perspective there is no real difference in the block size you are using.   From a disk waste point of view, there could be more wasted space when you use 8 MB block sizes.

  BP is to use the block size that fits the larger VMDK you will use on the VMFS volume.

• Formatting of disks for use with Windows

  Hello

  I would like to know what disk format works best for the use of storage with El Capitan and MS-Windows-10 drives.

  I don't like on the permissions.

  This storage drive will essentially serve for storage of files, movies, music, photos. No apps or the OS file.

  I have a dual boot systems and I would like to be able to use and share this disk of OS - X or MS-Windows.

  No NTFS disk

  No extended the disk log file system

  Any necessary file permission

  FAT32 or exfat32 is what I'm thinking. However works best?

  xFat supports files greater than 4 GB
