  Partitioning of a Windows 7 computer

  On a laptop Windows 7 HP, it is possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition? I know I can run Win7 XP mode, but many prefer a base XP environment. Yes, I have new copies unregistered XP and Office 2003.

  TIA,

  Besides Partition Master you can also use Windows 7 "Disk Managment" to shrink the partition of Windows 7, create a new partition of the space "unallocated", and then do a formatting NTFS "Full".

• SMART HARD drive after OS update failure

  Hi all

  I was updating of El Captian 10.11.6 to macOS Sierra 10.12 by Mac App Store. First of all, there were not officially available in India in the update Section. Ignorant comments, I tried to get it from the features Section. Finally, after you download the update of 4.77 GB, I received an error "system file or a disk error extended.» If please reboot the system and then try to reinstall macOS Sierra. After N number of attempts, failed and called Apple Care Support. First of all, they let me not format my HARD drive without check "Repair Disk Permissons" and after formatting, I get SMART errors and no warnings.

  Now I am frustrated and irritated because of 2 reasons

  1. I've updated Mountain Lion 10.8 to 10 Mavericks and El Captian 10.11.6 without error with all the updates and patches from Apple installed successfully. At the expense of someone, I bear the costs.

  2A 1 Apple checked permissions of drive SMART error, or just update the old latest versions installed, at least I got all the files, folders, data intact.

  Please help me because I'm not able to return again to Mountain Lion, OS even when I bought my Mac Machine.

  Kindly help.

  Thank you

  Looks like your hard drive has failed if you get the SMART errors. Readers tend to fail when they are pushed hard, such as during a major software upgrade. I hope that you will have a Time Machine current backup so that you can restore your machine once a new hard drive is put in place.

• HP 2000: Hard drive short DST check - failure

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  The error code 24 characters is a disk failure short self-test and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the problems you describe.

  If you want to replace it yourself, it is quite inexpensive - a brief guide on this is below.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 500 GB

  The procedure to replace the hard drive starts on Page 54 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  As you have upgraded to Windows 10 and as long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after the upgrade, you can simply use another PC to create the installation media for Windows 10 and then perform a new installation - it is all detailed in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  http://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-clean-install-Windows-10/

  Regarding the existing personal folders on the failed disk, one possibility would be to place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

• Test hard drive HP Pavilion g6 failure

  Hello!

  My HP laptop has stopped working, I cannot get into windows, but can reach diagnostic tests to the boot sequence.

  The following text was reporeted on a fast hard drive test:

  Smart Check: PAST

  Short-DSN: FAILURE

  FAILURE ID: 9U0AJM-63570E-MFPX0J-60WH03

  I guess I need to replace the hard drive?

  Kind regards

  BigRedMachine

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it seems that you will need to replace the HARD drive - the error code for short drive Self Test (DST) would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.

  The disc is a warranty item, so if your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP (with the error code 24 characters) and arrange for the replaced disk - you can check your warranty status here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  Kind regards

• EliteBook 8540p: HARD drive, out of warranty failure

  Our laptop Elitebook 8540 P gives a terrible warning about the imminent demise of the hard drive.

  Failure ID is 90F953-5B67SD-XD7U3A - 60A 503

  Product ID is XT924UA #ABA

  Capacity is 320 GB

  So, looks like it's time to replace the HARD drive. I saved the document, making a system image and a repair disk. My question is, how do I proceed from here?

  It would also be nice to know why the warnings are produced. Operation seems normal.

  See you soon.

  Gerry6

  The warning is a good thing - in a bad situation. The hard drive is under surveillance and warning is always a heads-up before he finally dies on you, so you can get a backup.

  You can buy a Mobile SATA Hard Drive to install and then start with your repair disk to restore the Image of detail. Just be sure to get a capacity at least equal as the 320 GB or more.

• HP mini says check Smart hard drive detected an immenent failure

  Went to use my mini and he had a black screen with a warning about the content of backup immediately because it has detected a failure immennent.  It won't let me something but run the proposed test and the test of hard drive has failed in this regard, a HP mini 110-3100. Not even yet 3 years old.  Can someone tell me if I lost all that on it or if there is a fix that I can do myself or take home. Could what cost be, no idea?

  Please and thank you!

  Probably the best chance to recover all your files would be to remove the hard drive. Then attach it to a > hdd USB adapter or a > USB hdd Enclosure. Plug it into a machine via USB and hard drive will appear as a drive to extra storage that you can browse and copy files on the hard drive of the machine to work. Of course, it depends on how much life is left in the drive.

• McKey external hard drive recognized a hard drive in vista, software cd will not load and run, it goes to my computer and can be open, but not installed.

  This windows vista 32 bit has recently had a complete recovery, and now I want to add my old documents, photos and music to the recovered system. The Maxtor safty drill CD must be installed, but the software is recognized by AutoPlay as images to open or add files. AutoPlay is set to run or install the software. Why is this?

  I plug the USB external hard drive and the the only way to know its plugged in is by going to my computer, and then make sure he displayed as a drive hard C: and D:. How can I fix it?

  This computer is still the updates, but this should not be here.

  and another thing, the problem with this usb devices are not recognized, what causes this error?

  I have windows xp sp3

  I think you may have a hardware problem. You can try to update the drivers of the computer (including the chipset or motherboard) and see if the problem clears. If this isn't the case, you may need to update the bios of the computer. If all fails, you will need to replace the motherboard on this PC. Since he is a big part, I suggest you buy a new computer, or get it fixed if it is still under warranty.

  Best,

• HP Touchsmart PC laptop E010NR: hard drive short DST Check - failure

  Blue screen when turned Shredding system Quick Test indicates Hard Drive DST short check failed.  Can you please tell how I can proceed to restore the system to factory settings?

  Of my experience so the BSOD computer and the hard disk does not have a DST short or long control, then the hard drive is faulty.

  I advise to contact HP Technical Support if your product is still under warranty so that they can help you by replacing the hard drive.

  If you want to just restore the system to the factory then when you press ESC once the system starts that there should be an option for recovery. This button must load the windows recovery environment for you to restore your device factory.

• Possible hard drive after clean install failure

  Appreciate it really all thoughts on this issue, because it drives me crazy and apparently get worse...

  I added 8 GB of RAM and an SSD Samsung 840 PRO in a Mac mini in 2011 about three years ago. At the time, the Fusion drive has just been introduced, and I found the online instructions to configure the combo HD SSD/existing as a Fusion player. After ironing out a few bugs, it worked perfectly (at least from the point of view of the user) for nearly three years. Significant speed increase, could handle more intensive applications of multiple users, etc.

  Three weeks ago, I decided to do a clean install. I wanted to get rid of all accumulated waste, as well as some of the Notification Center widgets don't work properly. Immediately I noticed the startup time is longer, but once connected, all seemed well. Just moved old files to the new system from a Time Machine backup, and everything worked well. In disk utility, it looked as if the OS has created two discs as a Fusion player, so I left as what.

  A week ago, I started notice stuttering in the downloaded movies in iTunes, which never happened before. Around the same time I started having the spinning beachball while running almost nothing: Safari with less than 10 tabs open (no video game), iTunes (inactive), Mail, etc... Impose anything. I performed first aid in disk utility and found no problem. I kept the activity monitor for the last 24 hours with nothing significant, other apps does not not showing the spinning ball.

  I saw someone else evoke here EtreCheck, so I did that and got two red warnings:

  Macintosh HD (2) /: 621,05 go-go (295,75 free) - 31 errors

  Drive failure!

  This error arose in both sections of the HD, as shown below:

  I guess at this point that OS X put in place the incorrect Fusion drive, causing conflicts... But I don't know what to do about this. I have several backups, so this isn't a problem.

  This community is a great resource, thank you to everyone who adds. As I said, I'd like to advice for this...

  I think it is obvious that you have a disk failure. Could be the SSD, HD, or both.
