Hard drive HP M8530F crashed
Works on HP M8530F for a friend - the drive hard seagate is crushed so I bought a new Western Digital sata. I run a copy of vista Home premium (not recovery, but a bare copy) hard drive is coming not in vista install screen and keeps asking for a driver for him?
I never came across this before and its really annoying! Generally you plug the hard drive into windows install, then you install all the drivers for it (hard drives are plug and play, I thought)? It reads the hard drive very well in bios and also if I plug it into a USB-sata converter. I also ran UBUNTU and it installed without any problems if the drive / motherboard seems to work very well. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Well I thought about it. What I needed was the driver for the motherboard sata... never had to do this before installing windows before - in general, it is automatic. So I downloaded the driver from HP.com .exe then extract this files with universal Extractor program to get the driver .inf files. Then I loaded on a USB .inf files and loaded the drivers on the hard drive using the windows install screen.
Windows is now running perfectly. Not sure why this stupid motherboard requires all them that - guess that's what I get for not having the original recovery disks.

2nd HARD drive causes Qosmio G40 Crash
My C drive is divided into 2 partitions in Vista Premium fine and everything ok.
2nd HARD drive causes computer crash with the following error message:

0x00000100
0X000002B4
0x00000001
0x00000000I reinstalled everything wiped disks and now the drive will not format
I read it could be a SATA problem but in the ability to change BIOS settings are not accessible.My missed day guarantee until it does not so I can t get it done about it.
Before that happened, as I used to be able to use it for a while, then something relaxing blue screen, sometimes the laptop doesn t even see s it.Can anyone throw any light on the problem?
Hello!
Have you tried the Drive Fitness Test as suggested Akuma? You can check the HARD drive for bad sectors.
CHKDSK isn't identical to the DFT and it can t detect errors on the HARD drive. Please run DFT to determine if the problem is the HDD, or not associated with.
Good bye

new hard drive, how to reinstall OS x
I have a new hard drive after a crash of the former. How can I install OSX top?
You should be able to boot the Mac using recovery Internet if you updated the firmware to enable.
OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support
If you don't have to update the Firmware to allow it to use the Internet in recovery, you need to use the installation provided with the Mac DVD.
Either way, you start the Mac.
Open disk utility and format the drive under OS X Extended journaled.
Then, quit disk utility and reinstall OS X.
Who will install the operating system on the Mac (likely Lion).
You can then improve it to El Capitan.
If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore it in recovery from the Internet instead of reinstalling the operating system.

Hello
I own Satellite L50-A-19N, seen the question I sometimes hear a clap louder or the series of several shots of the laptop.
Probably, it comes out hard drive.

My colleague accidentally installed Win XP Home Edition on a computer that we have configured as a server e-mail and files.
How do I change OS to Win XP Pro without having to re - format the hard drive?
The Win XP Pro is a supplier for the machine. When you change the hard drive (old one crashed), the o/s bad has been installed as they were also recoverinig another PC with Win XP Home.
Any advise is much appreciated!
Hi ChongPang,
If you proceed with the installation of XP Pro from XP home, it will ask you to upgrade.
I hope this helps.

My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.
Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.
The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.
Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...
You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?
By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?
Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

I recently had a hard drive crash and was able to have all data restored on a new external hard drive.
With the Thunderbird Community's help. I've restored all of my emails also. However, it seems that I may have restored some of then 2 or 3 times. Is there any way to automatically delete duplicates?
Win 7 Pro 64 bit, Thunderbird 24.3.0.
Interesting. I have loaded 2 different modules, and each has worked about 2 or 3 times and then stopped, although I can see there are still duplicates. Oh, well, I can do the rest manually (up to 1000 to 5000), but this has been a great help. Thank you all.

Retrieve the profile Favorites after hard drive crash
I had a hard drive crash and he had replaced. I managed to save most of my data from my old hard drive, but I don't think trying to save my Firefox bookmarks. I don't have a sync account until the accident occurred.
Is it possible at all to recover Favorites from before the crash?
Note: I use an iMac 2009 with a brand new hard drive and running OS X Mavericks.
Firefox always takes a backup of bookmarks.
