• I need to reinstall acrobat after having my hard drive erased... does anyone know how to do this?

  I recently had to have the hard drive erased on my computer and have need to reinstall acrobat... can someone help me?

  Hi abderdeen1960,

  If you have purchased Acrobat via the Adobe Store, you should be able to connect to your account on www.adobe.com and find your serial number and a link to download your software again.

  The Acrobat user license allows you to activate Acrobat on two computers, so if you have installed/enabled on the second computer, you should disable a copy before enabling fixed hard disk in place. (If necessary, you can call Contact Customer Care to deactivate your installation disk wiped clean).

  Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  Best,

  Here's how to use the Vista startup repair disk. is NOT a Vista reinstall disk.

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  How to reinstall Vista:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Hello world

  I have a Qosmio G30-161. The recovery discs are interrupted by a blue screen and windows cannot be installed!
  I tried to install a retail windows xp but does not recognize the hard drive!

  I'm almost convinced that the problem in the hard drive - computer laptop has2 - 60G each!

  The question is: what is the good hard drive that will fit in the laptop!

  In the specifications, S.M.A.R.T have been written!

  What does this mean?

  Hello

  You can remove hard disks and order the same. On the HARD drive you can find the purchase order number.
  For example, it can be Toshiba HDD2D33BZK01.

  Of course, you can also use with a higher capacity HARD drive.

• HARD drive and upgrade of RAM for Satellite A200 1AE

  Hello

  I plan to upgrade my RAM and HARD drive.
  I am currently using a 120 GB SATA HDD and 2x512mb ddr2 667 Mhz (out of the box state).
  My questions are:

  [1] will a WD Scorpio blue work SATA II 500 GB HARD drive at 5400 RPM on my laptop? If this is not the case, what is the maximum GB for my laptop's HARD drive (if there are any)?
  [2] a 2x2gb ddr2 667 Mhz will work? If not, what is the maximum?

  BTW, the Specs are Intel Core2Duo 1.73 Ghz T5300's family Vista premium sp2 (preloaded) OS, BIOS Phoenix version 1.20, Chipset intel 945 (I think).

  Thanks in advance.

  > 1] will a WD Scorpio blue 500 GB 5400 RPM SATA II drive HARD work on my laptop?
  It should work since the SATA controller is not limited to any size of HARD drive.

  > [2] Will work 2x2gb ddr2 667 Mhz? If not, what is the maximum?
  The laptop supports Intel® 945 GM chipset. The upgrade of RAM depends on the chipset.
  AFAIK the 667 Mhz Rams should be clocked at 533 Mhz
  But you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB)

• How to use the second HARD drive of Satellite A210 - BP1 for mirroring

  Satellite A210-BP1 came with 2 HDD (160 GB).
  Now, I want to use the second hard drive mirrored the first, one that has Vista installed.
  This should be done without supervision and in real time - as a RAID 1.

  How can I do this?
  I also have Vista professional available and I would be willing to use 3rd party software as well.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Hi Jan

  I doubt that this is possible
  Why? The point is that you need to use two hard drives in mirroring, RAID striping, mode etc technology
  Satellite A210 can't RAID. It s only a SATA controller without RAID capacity!

  Therefore, the final answer is; NO, it is not possible to use mirroring

• Spare hard drive stops tray and rubber for X 201

  Hello

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X 201. Due to the nature of my job I am frequently necessary to start a variety of operating systems. Recently I moved Ubuntu on a spare HARD drive to protect the integrity of the BONE, so now I have two hard drives - one that start in Windows 7 and another that starts in Ubuntu. The problem is that if I connect hard drive via the USB port to start Ubuntu, it's slow death and I had cases where the hard disk has developed bad sectors because the USB cable came loose and disconnected the disk. The only other option I currently use is to manually exchange internal hard disks every time I need to change operating systems. I was wondering if I can buy a platter of spare with her rubber mounts hard drive so that all I have to do is unscrew the cover of the drive Bay (one screw) and swap discs rather than to have to unscrew all and and screw on the other HARD drive repeatedly.

  Could someone please provide me with a FRU number for all of the SATA HDD assembly (less the HARD drive itself, of course, but including rail rubber).

  Thank you
