• Transfer of files to a backup hard drive resets their dates

  This is the first time I started to transfer my data to a backup hard drive. I ran into some kind of complication, however. All records to be transferred, whether by copying or cutting, have their dates reset. Their creation dates are listed not is more like when they were created originally, but when they were transferred to the new hard disk. Fortunately, this does not affect the dates of the files inside of them, but this has made the Organization of various files - not to mention the question of being able to check while they were facts of being very problematic.

  What is the cause and how can I avoid it? Can I return these dates?

  What happens if you zip files and then copy the zip file and unzip it.  The dates change then?  If this isn't the case, you could do it like this.

• Can I clean the hard drive before installing Windows Dell & as I've heard doesent clean properly. And how to clean the drive of DART?

  Can I clean hard drive before installing Dell Windows 7 / as I have heard it is not clean everything properly. So how to clean the hard drive?

  Or can I restore my office before you install Windows 7 in the first place when it's new?

  Kind regards

  Bert Pooler

  Yes, you can restore the State as it was when new...

  Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

  After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

• Primary hard drive 0 not found Dell Latitude

  Hello

  I just bought 2 notebooks of Dell Latitude D800 with no operating system. The first laptop is fine, but the second, when I turn it on it shows the Dell screen with the loading bar. The loading bar is to halfway to the end when it freezes. The system freezes on this screen for about a minute, then it beeps twice and a black screen that says:

  "First hard drive 0 not found '.

  No bootable devices - don't strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

  So I go into the BIOS and see under "internal hard drive" and he says: 'no '. I checked and make sure the hard disk has been activated, and it is.

  I took the hard drive and reinstalled it. Nothing. The drive is a Toshiba 40 GB. In addition, mention, the reader makes a weird noise (not the click of death) and the hard drive on the laptop stays on all the time.

  Other D800 I mentioned boots very quickly and displays a no. OS screen, which is very good.

  So is my dead HDD?

  Thank you

  It is quite clear that the BIOS does not recognize the hard drive.  I suspect that the IDE controller on the motherboard has failed.

  Given that you have two cell phones similar to fool around with, probably the fastest way to isolate the problem is to swap hard drives.  Call the laptop that does not have one and one that works B

  If the laptop has now boots and cell B now is not, you know that the player who has been to A is bad.

  If A laptop computer still does not start and portable B boots again, then you know that the two disks are OK and the problem is the motherboard or the connector of the drive in the laptop.

• Internal hard drive product compatible for Dell Inspiron 1525

  I need to replace the hard drive in my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. The current I is Seagate 2.5 ", 160 GB 5400 RPM and. The space must be 500 GB or less. I prefer Seagate Momentus Thin ST500LT012 500 GB at 5400 RPM. This would be compatible with my laptop. Otherwise, what are you kindly suggest another replacement for this drive.

  Any 2.5 "SATA drive will work - if you go with a 7 mm disc ("thin") you might have a spacer for mounting the drive, because the system is designed to take the road of 9.5 mm and the thinner one is unable to make contact with the motherboard without spacer.

  I'd go with WD or HGST drives - Seagate had problems of reliability of the end.

• To add a 2nd hard drive on my desktop Dell Studio XPS 7100

  I have a HD 1 TB there already comes with the system. Add 2 to 7200 RPM SATA 3.5 "HD which is available on the Dell site and make a total of 3 TB? I thought I read somewhere that my office is designed for a maximum of 2 TB. 3 to work always but maybe just a little more slowly?
  You can also the 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.5 "HD would work, too? I ask because my office is not listed in the compatibility for this particular HD list.

  Hi Bev! I'm about to install second HDD of my Studio XPS 7100 desktop computer and would like to have very practical step by step instructions, but it seems I get pieces different place, suggestions? Lisa

  You will need to buy a SATA data cable, there should be an additional power supply connector into the drive case.

  The procedure of installing a second hard drive in the 7100, are here:

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_studio_xps_desktop/Studio-XPS-7100_Service%20Manual_en-us.PDF

  Tip: Open the case and check that Dell has provides the drive for additional hard drive cage.

  Once the drive has been installed, check the configuration of the system, including the SATA port, it is connected, turned on [on] and the hard drive is recognized.

  So for Windows recognizes the additional drive, you must partition, format and assigned to a drive letter using Windows Disk Manager.

• Purchased by Lenovo App Shop app no longer works after Tablet factory data reset

  While exploring the Tablet do I tried the full device encryption and although I like the idea and safety, that is there are a few small enough reasons (not a subject of this thread) why I decided to go back to an unencrypted configuration. Interpreted data factory reset on the Tablet, just as it was before, re-installed applications that I had, and everything worked without any problem, for the most part. The a time-killer app, that I bought for those long hours on flights was the Angry Birds HD (free publicity) and once the reset Tablet app no longer works. When you try to start it I get is this message pop up:

  "We are sorry; It seems that you are not allowed to run this application. Please make sure that connect you to App Shop Lenovo to validate the app purchase"

  Well, it appears in 'My applications' Sub 'All' and 'Uninstalled' (which is weird, because it is really installed) tabs, I can download and re-install all this I want but I ever get is the pop-up message above when I try to run it. Not received any feedback from Lenovo App Shop for people in of the problem report, I sent, nor anything useful to MobiHand (at least they replied but with nothing more than a download link).

  Kinda stuck on this one at this point... There not so much the $4.99 ($5.99 CAD for a reason any), I paid for it, but it would be nice to have a running application or a refund, but if it is the standard of the apps purchased how to behave after a reset Tablet then we have a real problem...

  Still not sure, MobiHand people but what is the problem has been corrected and everything is good. At soon guys

• Upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Professional (the two 32-bit) using Express upgrade after that my hard drive crashed.

  Hello:

  As the title says, I have recently updated my new hard drive, I got from Dell's Windows Vista Ultimate Edition of Windows 7 Professional. I don't have the product key for the Express upgrade, so I'm unable to activate my copy. The last time this was back in 2009 when I bought the Express upgrade, so I don't know what I did to fix this problem.

  I appreciate any help you can give me.

  I suggest you only to contact a Microsoft Customer Service representative to activate your copy of Windows.

• Initialized external hard drive not recognized

  I recently bought a Windows 8 RT tablet. When you attach an external hard drive of 1 TB with USB connection, it does not recognize the computer as being already formatted - in other words, in the disk management window, I realized to initialize the drive.  I use the hard drive to save the files (more storage than available on the Tablet) and it has been formatted on a Windows 8.1 device and holds about 500 GB of data. Before you buy the Tablet, I had accesses files by using an older MacBook with no problems. Is it possible to access the hard disk on the Windows 8 RT Tablet without initialization (which I guess would involve having to temporarily move all data to another device and then reload on the external hard drive reset)?

  Hello

   
  Thank you for your response. The information that you have provided are appreciated.

  As you say it has compatibility issue, the latest drivers for the device must be installed to have all the features.

   
  Try to install all the updates of Windows including the optional updates, after having connected the external hard drive with the Tablet and check if it helps. You can check the link below to install Windows updates.

• Replacing the hard drive and Recovery console repair turns into a nightmare of activation

  I took the hard drive of a computer dell laptop is no longer used and put it in my current toshiba laptop (in which the hard drive was dead prior).

  I had my laptop to accept the hard drive by using the recovery console and do a chkdsk with the repair option. After repairs the laptop now wants to be activated.

  So now I use my laptop with a hard drive built to a dell computer. Of course, I uninstalled all the bloatware and replaced all the drivers with the right. the hard drive works fine with my laptop. This isn't the problem.

  My problem is that windows will not activate. It is a genuine copy of windows xp home edition, purchased from dell. I got through all of the activation methods and they tell me that the installation id is invalid. I'm basically a big circle with phone support to web support.

  If my product key is known to be valid for windows xp family when he was on the hard drive in the computer dell laptop, why is it not valid when traded to the computer toshiba laptop and why used someone help me with this problem. I can't be the only one that this has happened?

  as a reminder, swapped a hardrive is no longer in use of the computer, a work computer. has ran chkdsk to fix disk errors, after reboot windows is enabled is no longer and requires activation. Activation Assistant will not accept the installation as id being valid and would call support, when I go to real profit online to activate it also error. How can I activate this well-known work product id? I'm not hacking because he is no longer in use, basically, I am on a windows xp home edition right now and nobody will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  Dan

  The hard drive Dell has a "Dell" OEM of Windows XP version and a "Dell" product key (and might even be locked BIOS) that will not work on your Toshiba.

  As with all versions once installed on a computer/motherboard OEM it cannot be moved to another PC.
