  Laptop has a black screen. Power outtage yesterday while off. Message arrives hard drive not found. Sounds like the hamster on a wheel. Need recovery of info and override info.

  Hello

  Looks like you need support as there must be some serious problems. Check in the settings (BIOS/CMOS)
  as you start - usually F2 - to see if the disc is recognized and is 1st in the boot order.

  Not good news, I'm afraid,

  Good luck.

• Drive external hard Mac has shown in the past but does not now show in disk utility. How can I get it back?

  I'm going crazy trying to find an answer to this question! My external hard drive has shown in the past but not now shows in disk utility. My OS is X El Capitan.

  I tried to turn off my computer then unplug my external hard drive waiting for 30 seconds back on my computer and plug my hard drive with no joy.

  I hope someone can help.

  Hi willy of San Jacinto.

  I understand that your external hard drive is no longer seen by your computer. I know it's important to have a good backup location, and for that to work, I am so happy to provide assistance with this.

  Read this article on troubleshooting USB devices:

  OS X El Capitan: If a USB device does not work

  If your computer is yet to see the hard drive after following these steps, it would be interesting to test this drive on another computer if available. If you continue to have problems, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the hard disk on a hardware failure possible.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, cheers!

  Help, please...

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

• Tecra A8 - erasing disc Recvery would be the entire HARD disk

  Hello

  I installed Win xp on my Tecra A8 and also created two logical drives C and D.
  Win has been installed on C using the recovery cd.

  Now I want to reinstall windows and keep my d: drive.
  When I boot from the recovery CD, first screen is to select the language, and the second is where my problem is.
  It has the 'Settings' button which displays two options - to choose the number of GB to install the OS, or to install the OS on existing first # GB partition with id #.

  Second option is ine, I chose, but when I click Next, a warning window appears and says something like "Beware, any hard drive will be erased.

  Anyone know what this means?
  He let intact d: drive and manifest only the c: drive, or it will erase really any hard disk?

  Thank you.

  > Second option is ine, I chose, but when I click Next, a warning window appears and says something like "Beware, any hard drive will be erased. Anyone know what this means?

  This means that the recovery disc will format the whole HARD drive and it will be also possible to delete all partitions from the HARD disk.
  The use of the recovery disk would fix the laptop to the factory setting.

• My EliteBook 2760p had a hard drive failure and now, after replacing, it works a lot slower

  Good afternoon!

  I have a serious problem with my EliteBook 2760p!
  About two months ago, my EliteBook had a disk failure hard and after more than two weeks of control and test.
  the hard drive has been replaced, and I received my EliteBook return.
  I immediately saw that the previously installed Windows 7 with Croatian language pack and MS Office starter edition
  has been replaced with an English version of Windows 7 without the starter edition of MS Office.
  I also noticed that my EliteBook was significantly slower than it was before the change of hard disk!
  This situation was unacceptable, and I took my EliteBook serving for additional repairs.
  The gentleman of the function COS ZEL in Zagreb took a week or so more to test and verify everything
  out and then he said that "they are not the error I described, and I can now pick up my EliteBook.

  My EliteBook is always in this State and is considerably slower than it used to be!
  Even more, the screen does not "flip" when I turn. In addition, the buttons at the bottom of the screen,
  do not work.

  I would like to know where I can go do my EliteBook restored to the exact state as I initially have bougth inside
  or be replaced by the new EliteBook under warranty because this state my EliteBook is online is not
  acceptable or feasible.

  Kind regards

  SINke, I saw your post and has forwarded to the right people for their review. You should hear from someone bit via private message on this Forum.

  Contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disk/s XP.

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

• Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

  The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

  Windows XP and earlier versions:

  \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Windows Vista and later:

  \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  A little luck?

• Satellite L500 - hard disk drive partitioning

  Hi all (first posting times)

  I came across a little curiosity. Bought new laptop everything installed, then loaded into all the previous laptop backup files, brilliant all work...
  But then noticed was running out of space on the hard disk (drive C)?

  Why? It is a 500 GB hard drive. So I checked. Its actually a HDD 500 gig, divided into two, also. OK, understand that, first partition is C: for all files of system etc, there is d: recovery of files (using about 8 gig) then nothing else... what a mess.

  So the question, can I do the largest C: drive by reducing the D: partition? If NOT, it would make more sense then just make another partition E: for example?

  Oooh and I will make the recovery of files from damage by doing this.

  All your advice much appreciated kind.

  If it is not broken... your cheek is not hard enough *.

  Why are you doing this so complicated? HARD drive has two partitions, and you can use all that space. Toshiba has saved the recovery image of HARD drive on the second partition, but this does not mean that you are not allowed to save your data there. You can do but just don't touch or change folder HDDRecovery. Just leave it there, or make it invisible.

  This file can be used later for the installation of HARD disk image - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
  Imagine the following situation:
  You save all your stuff on the C partition and one day for some reason you cannot boot OS and it is completely unusable. What you can do? Maybe install OS again. OK good idea, but you will lose all your important data.

  In order to better is to save all the stuff on the D partition, and if something goes wrong, you can install OS using HARD drive recovery facility. This means that C partition will be formatted and clean the OS installed on it by using the image of the D partition. The point is that any data saved to the D partition will be there and you won't lose anything.

  If you want to install the OS via recovery DVD (hopefully you have created the) the whole HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose all saved data.
  I hope you understand now how it works then think of all the important data and save it as with certain external devices too.

• HP Pavilion 23-g013w: recovery of operating system, replace hard drive and memory now what?

  My hard drive stop working on my HP Pavilion 23-g013w all in one computer. I replaced it with a new 1 TB hard drive. I also installed new memory Crucial upgrade to 16 GB.   All new "hardware" is installed on the computer.

  Otherwise, what is my next best option... .or not?

• New hard drive does not appear in the disk utility

  I am installing a new hard drive in my late 2011 13 "MacBook Pro. I started using apple's online retrieval system and went to disk utility. I tried to format the drive, but he is stuck saying "remove disc" for about a half hour, and then I had a rotation beach ball and could not move the cursor. I restarted the computer and now the drive does not appear in the disk utility. Any help is appreciated as I have no idea where to go from here.

  Thank you.

  You will may be turned off and check that your hard drive is correctly positioned with all the screws tight.

• Drive problem hard "smart hard disk error".

  Hello, about 6 months ago, I bought my HP envy m6-1252so, and since then it has been slow til to get totally stuck showing the "blue screen" error message, a month later, I turned on and showed me the message "no device found", then I went where I bought it and they said it was a software problem. That's why the guarantee would not fix because it takes that hardware problems (I have 3 years warranty). A friend, who is a maintenance-pc professional told me that the hard drive has problems and he screwed up, he has absolutely everything deleted hard disk ensuring that it would be totally free from virus and he reinstalled windows saying that I'm having the same problem soon, I had since re - install windows all almost 2 weeks because that the problem won't let me run windows showing me the message "error of. smart disc"and it could not connect to windows. My question is how could get my replacement of hard disk without having the same answer "it's a software problem?

  Sincerely, Milton.

  Milton,

  The "SMART Hard Disc Error' returned by your computer indicates that the hard disk has failed or is about to fail. Please see test of hardware failures (Windows 8) and/or test a hard drive in the BIOS for instructions on testing your computer for a hard disk failure. If the error codes are returned or a test does not complete, please contact the official HP support in your region / country, via the Portal to support HP worldwide, to file a warranty claim.

  You will need to use the HP recovery media, you created when you first set up your computer to restore the computer to a factory state after the hard drive has been replaced. If you create your personal HP recovery media, also contact HP support in your region / country, to see if the HP recovery support is available for your computer.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
