• Internal hard drive missing after upgrade to Windows 7

  Western Digital internal hard (second drive) drive is not visible after I updated from XP to Windows 7.  The missing SATA drive is visible in the BIOS, but not when Start Menu Windows 7 finishes launching.  Westerm Digital "Data Lifeguard" also does not detect the SATA drive.

  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  Shut down the computer and unplug the SATA cable on the second disc.

  Restart Windows and go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.

  If you have Windows 7 drivers then download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them,from the card mother/chipset drivers, SATA, LAN, Audio, etc, and so on. Then shut down the computer.

  Now reconnect the cable SATA and Windows startup, it should normally detect a drive is connected and indicate via a popup.

  Then open "Disk Management" and see if the drive is listed.

• Hard drive crashed and I reinstalled Windows 7 but my system properties are weird.

  original title: help

  After a hard drive crash, I reinstalled my operating system to windows 7.  However, I think that he is "buried" and unused o my new hard drive.  Instead, it SEEMS that I have windows NT, & a mix of properties in VISTA and 7.  I much prefer to have a real operating system, as opposed to the almost "virtual" NT  However, those who have themselves appointed trustee-directors, left me with little control over my own computer.  I understand that right now I NEED administrators.  I would be grateful however, certain controls - and certainly some understanding- of what is happening with my own computer: like, where to FIND things, OPEN & USE some of my own stuff.  Help!

  Create a new user account (admin) if possible:

  Have you installed the operating system? If so, your default user account is an admin user.

• Pavilion dv6-4024tx: display random crashing after upgrade to Windows 10 (back to Windows 7)

  Hey all,.

  I used to own a computer laptop dv6-4024tx Pavilion which I gave to my father to use after you have bought a new laptop for my part. It was in pretty good condition when I gave it to him, with the only problem being that she would get very hot unless a cooling pad was used (which I it comes with). At the time, it was running Windows 7 Home Premium with no problems and everything was fine. However, it might be interesting to note that while I had it I had problems with random blue screens while I was with the latest graphics drivers, so I drove back to the drivers supplied on the support page for this laptop. After I "upgraded" to Windows 10 (do not perform a clean install) for my dad, the laptop would randomly crash and display something like the photo that I have attached, before going empty and show again several times. Believing that it would be a problem with the GPU, I went and Display Driver Uninstaller to remove completely all AMD drivers and software, downloaded the latest driver on the AMD website and installed. It seemed to temporarily solve the problem, but as it's always within 30 days of installation, I offered to go back to Windows 7, but my father wanted to leave it and see how it happened. Oddly enough, for the next month, it never reported the laptop crashing again and the time period for return finally expired. The problem of course back then I tried the same solution from before but the noise continued. I tried to disable the GPU completely from the Device Manager, so that the laptop was running with Microsoft Basic display adapter. He seems to have stopped the fracas, but less than a week my father told me that he had crashed again.  I tried to restore the laptop to a system image I had done years ago, but I learned that you cannot restore an image to a different version of Windows System. Finally, as a last resort I backed everything up and made a real clean install of Windows 10, and the problem has not yet disappear.

  My goal now is to return the Windows 7 laptop somehow. I can mount a virtual image of the system hard drive and access all the recovery files provided by HP, specifically the Recovery Manager. From there, I can do a recovery USB or DVD (s) we hope to restore the laptop to all conditions of factory (so theoretically return to Windows 7). I will try this, but I need a flash player more than 20 GB or several blank DVDs I don't currently. In addition, Recovery Manager says that this medium can never be created once, so it save me time and money (not to mention my last lifeline) if someone could please share their views on the question of whether this method would be successful or not. I know in case it doesn't work, there is always the question of registration of the OS by Microsoft, but I can cross that bridge when I get to it.

  Sorry for the essay I just wrote, but this has been a problem for too long, and I am at a loss to know what to do now (apart from the purchase of another computer). If there are any questions I'll be happy to answer, and I hope we can get this issue is resolved. See you soon.

  

  If you follow this step 3.

  You will need to select "format and repartition disks" as windows 10 will have changed partitions.

• How to take possession of the hard drive since the upgrade to Windows 7?

  I've upgraded to Windows 7 from XP.

  Unfortunately I can't access all the files on my old hard drive that is on my computer as drive E, nor I can access all the files on the external hard drive USB either. He says that access is denied. These readers are related to my old account on my XP system who crashed and died.

  How to "properly" take possession of these other drives on my new Windows 7 system?

  Previously, I tried to do with my user name on the Windows 7 system to have all permissions. It does not work. It changes the attributes of all files and folders on my other readers but once everything is done, I still have the same problem and I am unable to access it.

  I also tried to use a program called "edit permissions" and who did the same thing and I still have the same problem. No method worked.

  Please Microsoft, you designed these operating systems if please explain to me how to take full ownership and control hard 'MY' in my XP system discs so I can access all the 'MY' files and folders?

  Thank you.

  John

  1. In 'My Computer' (or simply 'computer' now), click on the drive and choose Properties.
  2. On the Security tab, click Advanced.
  3. On the owner tab, change the owner to be your username (you will need to search for and select your user name).
  4. Apply the new owner to "all subcontainers" (all files on the disc).
  5. Click OK until all of the settings are saved.
  6. Try to explore the disc again.

• acing hard drive problem after upgrade to 8.1 windows

  Mr President I upgraded my hp envy j048tx to windows 8.1 and have updated all my drivers using HP support assiastant... so when I apply a right click on any file... its takes time to open the contextual menu... long u please you suggest?

  Hi Vira_Bathwar, welcome to the Forums of HP. The right-click menu is also known as the "context Menu". This can accumulate and get cluttered over time, causing it to be slower. The other possibility is system performance issues. I found a similar thread with a few suggestions that have worked for other people know this symtom. See this thread Microsoft: do a right-click context menu in desktop appearing slow victory 8.1

• Reinstall Vista upgrade Express of Business to ultimate after hard drive crash

  When I bought my first computer at Dell, it had Windows Vista Business installed on the computer.  Shortly after the purchase, I bought an upgrade on Amazon.com to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.  I remember that when I upgraded, a file has been downloaded and executed on the computer that has provided the additional functionality of Vista Ultimate.  The file is stored in my service digital locker.  I think I have the product key that was used after the upgrade (it of in my notes, but does not match the original product code which is on the side of my computer).  In any case, the hard drive crashed and I reinstalled windows vista professional, on the recovery provided by Dell CD.  However, I can't seem to find a way to present a new request the ultimate improvement to the computer (it only gives me vista professional).  Now that the digital locker is gone, I can't recover this file and emails informing her service digital locker went went to an old email account I'm not "check very often (I located the email I was trying to research on mine)."

  Can someone provide me with instructions on how to apply a full new vista computer?  If I think I have the product key for the upgrade, is it possible for this punch in and extract the upgrade feature?  Thanks in advance!

• Help - my hard drive crashed.

  My hard drive crashed after completing the development of important work.  I have the original raw photos and catalog LR showing my processed images. Lightroom can re - treat the raws using the old catalog?

  You can put Smith folder anywhere you want. It may be on the desktop, or it may be a folder in your pictures folder, or you can put it on a new external hard drive. When you double-click the catalog and it opens, go to the library module and right-click on the Smith file and choose the option to update the location of the folder. You will then be able to navigate whenever you put the folder, update the location. And that's all there is to it.

  Please note that the family pack is an upgrade.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
