• My hard drive is not even read the disc (Dragon Age: Origins)

  Today I bought a new video game for PC (Dragon Age: Origins).
  After inserting the disc, I thought I could hear the drive reading the disc, but it kept stopping.

  This ended up in my computer not give me an error message saying that there is problem... it's almost as if he thinks that I have never inserted the disc.

  So I tried to run another game disc, and he managed to read the disc.

  Please help :(

  the required for the game is the following:

  OS: Windows XP (SP3) or Windows nice (SP1) or Windows 7
  Processor: Processor Intel Core 2 SINGLE 1.6 GHz or equivalent AMD Athlon 64 2/0 GHz processor or equivalent
  RAM: 1 GB (1.5 GB Vista and Windows 7)
  Disc drive: DVD ROM required
  Hard drive: 20 GB of disk space

  and I guess that video and sound are not the problem here.

  I'm not a 'computer' wiz or anything either, but after reading the label of my system, it seems that the requirements very well.
  they are here:

  OS: Windows Vista 64 - bit family Premium SP1
  Processor: Intel Core 2 Q6600 Quad-Core
  RAM: 4 GB DDR2
  Disk drive: Super multiformat DVD + RW DL with Labelflash
  HDD: 750 GB

  ... As you can see, taking me the time to post all this place really shows how frustrated I am... so please Helo me ASAP :(

  It is possible that you have a bad DVD drive.  Try it in another computer (a friend or relative) and if it didn't work for them either, you may have to contact the company for a replacement drive.  If it works on their computer and not yours, you may need an update of the firmware of your DVD player to make it compatible with the disc.  It is a rare event, but can happen.  You will need to go to the website where you made your computer and download the update of the firmware if available.

  You will need to set the drive to another computer via a USB port to the HARD drive adapter and I hope that the reader is always accessible...

  The adapter looks like this...

  Then, a window will appear, and many data authorizations through pretty quickly. When permissions have been granted, the window will close and you will be able to easily access data in the file or the first selected folder...

• HP Envy M6: My HARD drive is not bad on my computer? I have reloaded Win 8 and upgraded to Win 8.1 but he keeps crashing

  Hi need help and answers from an expert!

  My HP Envy M6 Recenly has stopped working correctly, so I decided to recover as soon as possible.  She still had the same problems, so I decided to restore factory with recovery USB flash drive I did.  Always had the same problem happens after I rebooted 8 Win and improved to 8.1.  It would work for a few minutes and stop working I used chkdsk and it says it fixed a few problems with the drive.

  I went through the same steps another 3 times!  After each time that once I had that he would be running again after a clean reinstall.  I would like to run chkdsk and it looks like he fixed some error, but last time, it wouldn't or couldn't find some files to run and crashed.  I tried loading Acronis and tried to reinstall the backup from there but that also failed to correct the problem.  I came to the conclusion that my HD is physically wrong?

  I guess the recovery process would reformat the partitions before you reinstall so it's not a logic error (software)?  From the recovery partition, the recovery Flash disk media and recovery software acronis can fix this, I can only assume, there is a problem with the drive itself?

  Is there a way to check this?  I don't mind replacing the drive to a SSD, so this isn't a problem, but I can't seem to find a product key.  Nothing printed on the bottom.  I read somewhere that it is now integrated with the motherboard bios so can I just use the recovery media that I did on a flash drive?

  Also, I have my backup file but I could never find the location of the image my wife loaded as the photo of "lock" screen which I do not have a copy of.  I have the backup files for windows 8.1 by Acronis and according to me, a Windows backup file on a backup drive, but I was wondering if these "locked screen hidden image" would be held somewhere in these data?  It is not under the images and I have never been able to find or understand where windows keeps this image.  I used the search without success.

  Of course, this is not critical, but I hate losing this particular image.  I hope it's keep somewhere in my back upward and when restoring with a new drive hard I can reload the backup and restore.

  So I really ned knowledge step by step: my HD is bad?  How can I check without having to spend hours to reload only to fail?

  Why chkdisk does not?  Or should I simply replace HD and if so what can I use the new disk recovery media and product ID will be accessible through the motherboard?

  I intend to upgrade to win 10, but I need Win 8 loading first, then move to 8.1 then move to Win 10?  Also in the future if it crashes how can I recover to win 10? Since it is free now but will not be later.  The upgrade will allow me to make a copy (a copy) to win 10?

  A lot of questions, but please provide the fastest solution to my problems and concerns.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello fmhawaii ;
  
  I read your post on your PC crashing and wanted to help.

  It certainly seems that your hard drive has failed.  Some PC allows the drive to check in the BIOS: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

  If that confirms that the disc is bad, then you will need to replace it.

  As for activation, you are right in that, with Win8x machines, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware, however, the instructions in this link, show you how to recover: find product - key for Windows 8

  When you restore from recovery media, which is supposed to automatically read product key, so you will not have to enter something to activate reinstall it.  My guess is that the drive problems that prevented from happening.

  Acronis allows you to mount an image file by using a drive letter, and once you do this, you should then be able to browse through the content to find the file you want.  However, depending on what part of the logon icon changed, it might be embedded image in a Windows system file, and unless there is a separate copy of this image, it will be very difficult to recover.  IF you Google it, you might be able to find downloadable tools for disassembly of this file and subseuent extraction of this file.

  I wouldn't hurry to Win10, but if you choose to follow this path, don't forget to make a new advance Acronis backup, then you can return to a system of Win8x of work if something is wrong - as the Win10 GoBack function is known to be unreliable.
  
  Good luck

• Internal hard drive has all of a sudden the write Protection

  Hello

  My internal hard drive has suddenly developed the write protection and has resisted each of my attempts to change this. I found issues related to external hard drives, but have not met a subject that bears on the disk system hard to develop this problem.

  The last State of operational activities that are known:

  My main hard drive read/write functions were fine the day before. The only things I did today were the usual activities like browsing the web, watching videos, etc.. The only thing I did of note has been download a Steam game, which required the U-Play from Ubisoft. I installed the game and U-Play, so the game went very well. Then I played another game of steam which does not need U-Play, then attempts to transfer files on a USB key.

  Steps taken to solve the problem:

  When you try to transfer files, warning "the disk is write protected" appears. I thought that it odd, as I had never met this caveat on this PC before. I discovered that all the files in the C drive have been suddenly write protected. My attempts to solve this problem include:

  • Deactivation of 'Read only' file level and folder settings. The settings app doesn't seem to be a problem, but the moving folder gave the warning and she returned to "read only".
  • What allows all permissions for the users and system Admins for drive C properties > Security (I found it odd that users have all permissions, when I clearly remember all the usual permissions enabled previously)
  • Reboot/boot scan running for drive C to properties error checking > tools > error checking, which reported no error.
  • Opened as administrator command prompt and entering 'diskpart', 'list volume', "select volume #', disk clear readonly attribute, readonly attributes volume clear." The clear drive has reported a failure, while the clear volume reported a success.

  None of these steps have managed to solve the question of write protection. Might this problem be possibly related to the downloaded game, or the program U-Play from Ubisoft? Is there something that I missed? What can I do else? I have documents and files that have not been backed up, but I don't want to lose.

  Thank you for reading, any help would be appreciated!

  I'm really sorry for your time. The culprit is revealed to be the key USB is write-protected, not the drive internal (phew!). I guess I panicked a bit and don't think to test with another stick of memory, which transferred files very well. Problem solved, I'll just reformat the wobbly flash drive.

  Thank you for sticking with it, even when I probably don't have too much sense, you have been very helpful and patient.

  It does not start to the top, screen and hardware ok except belt disconnected.

  also can I sell adapter, brand new, never used. where can I sell?

  Hi Wally, the hard disk OS X and all of your files. Get a case for your reader, and it backs up. Try OWC

  Always keep your Mac backed up on an external drive with Time Machine or utility of cloning like SuperDuperor double clone.

  Try eBay for the adapter.

• New 500 GB HARD drive is not recognized correctly

  What is happening, I replaced the drive HARD than Go 150 original after about 18 months, again, now a year later, that the drive seems to have died too, so I bought a new seagate 500 GB drive HARD for it, the BIOS said it s it, but vista CD dies just when it is trying to install, CD WXP can t see the drive at all, but I expected that when WXP is older , but Vista I expected to work.

  So here's the thing, I put the new HARD drive in my desktop PC and he found in the BIOS no worries, then I started the Vista CD and again no probs, Vista installed without worries, then I put the HARD drive in the lappy and once again he can t read it, so it s not a Vista thing , it seems that it s the lappy itself

  Is this a problem with the Toshiba BIOS, or is it a physical problem where the Toshiba is struggling in reading ANY player?

  It s driving me crazy.

  And what model of laptop do you have?

  Generally upgrade HARD drive should not be a problem. I assume that your laptop's HARD drive with SATA interface and I sure you bought the right of Mr. I've upgraded or because of the experiences on several laptops equipped new hard disks and all of them were still properly recognized and I was able to install original Toshiba Recovery (recovery DVD) on this subject image.

  Maybe you have an older model A200 and perhaps he has some compatibility issues with new hard disks. I will be 100% sure works perfectly with HARD drive up to 300 or 400 GB maybe.

  Do you use Toshiba Recovery for the Vista installation disc or original disc of Microsoft?

  BTW: WXP is unclear due to lack of driver SATA HARD drive.

• the internal HARD drive has been corrupted and I fails to make the back upward. need information.

  I've owned an HP Pavilion dm1-LQ862PA #UUF, used to be windows 7-64 bit. the internal hard drive has been corrupted and recommended to replace another. they were asking for the backup cd and I failed to do, and I do not regret it. Well, except to lose all my files and programs that I installed, it will also include bluetooth, wi - fi and other important built in programs? I'm not a computer expert. If ever these important programs had totally disappeared, how retrieve it? my laptop in an HP authorized service center will be probably expensive and I decided to buy a new HARD drive and ask someone to put it in and install a new OS. Please help thanks

  Hello:

  There is a support for your PC page where all the software drivers to run the hardware on your PC such as bluetooth and wireless can be reinstalled.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=5079502 & CC = US & DLC = in & LC = on & query = LQ862PA & Tool=.

  What I don't see is the availability of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system (windows 7 64-bit) or your PC programs (other than those listed in the link of support above).

  This means that if you want to replace the hard drive, you must make your own W7 64-bit installation media and use the 7 product key of Microsoft windows on the bottom of your PC to activate the installation.

  That assumes you can read all 25 characters of the product key windows 7.

  Here's how...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  The replacement hard drive should be a 320 GB SATA II 5 400 rpm Disk If you want the same specification provided with your PC hard drive.

  Please refer to Chapter 4 of the service manual on the link below for the procedures for removal and replacement of the hard disk.
