Thanks a lot for your help.  :-)

Test your player - create a Bootable CD:
Ranging from 5 to 20% (depending on the manufacturing) new hard disks are defective.
Test your drive with the car manufacture utility.
If you have a new hard drive Seagate the very next thing would be to download Seagate Seatools
(bootable CD) and check bad sectors.

  • XPS 8300: Install new hard drive 3 TB BSOD results after imaging but not after Win7 clean

    I have a XPS 8300 and the original Seagate 2 TB hard drive is dead. Because being forced to install a new HARD drive, I opted for 3 TB and bought a WD because I had horrible luck with Seagate repeatedly.

    Anyway, I installed the new HARD drive and booted from the Windows 7 64 bit Pro installation disc and attached my external drive to backup and choose the backup image to the new disk. It completed without error, but when the computer restarts, I get a blue screen of death with the 7B stop code. I tried to put the HARD drive in a box and attached to another computer, and all my image files are there so I know that the computer was able to write the image to the new HARD disk. How to fix the BSOD errors? I set to update to the latest version of the BIOS (A06) but always the blue screen. I tried to install the latest Intel drivers also and which does not seem to do anything.

    Frustrated, I installed Windows 7 clean on this drive and I am writing this message from him. The drive appears in my computer as a 2 TB. Disk Management displays 100 MB System Reserved Partition, Partition C: of 2047 GB and 746 GB unallocated.

    Why a new installation does not seem to work (I know that I would have to format the 746 GB to use it and to give it a new drive letter) but the imagery that the disc breaks down. What Miss me?

    I've seen a lot of posts on using Intel drivers to solve similar problems. These drivers get breaths during the imaging process? Should they be installed before the imagery of the backup? (Thought that I did, but maybe I didn't do it right - their installation can be verified before the disk imaging?) Tried to call Dell and Windows support... am no where in a hurry.

    Hi LG1382,

    You cannot start Windows 7 on a 3 TB drive. You can use it for data, but not as the system drive. Windows 7 can only start TPG on systems with BIOS UEFI, which does not the 8300.

  • Why is my hard drive (external) working on a Windows PC, but not on my Mac?

    I recently got a few files transferred to a friends computer to my external hard drive and when I plugged back on my Mac it wasn't appearig in the finder or disk utility. The power led on the hard drive lit. When I plugged it in my friends mac hard drive was there, but when you clicked on the folders they were all empty. We then plugged on a Windows computer, and it worked fine! What keeps it from working on Mac?

    Thanks for the help

    Hi Rotherham:

    The hard drive has been formatted in Mac (Mac OS Extended journaled) format.

    He worked on your Mac before that?

    Were the files that you copied from another Mac or Windows computer?

    You say you plugged into a computer in the window and it worked fine.

    A Windows computer will not read an external hard drive that is formatted as OS extended (journaled).

    So maybe it is formatted in NTFS in Windows.

  • Western Digital WD10EARS internal hard drive Caviar Green 1 TB - my system does not recognize the new drive

    I recently bought a computer Dell 4700 to a friend with Windows XP installed. I've updated the memory to 2 GB and now seeks to install a WD10EARS 1 TB harddrive. The new works of fine memory is not the hard drive. My system does not recognize the new drive. I contacted WD for help and they told me to try diferent rider combinations that were Jumper 1-2 and 5-6, still does not work, I checked the hardware compatibility list and he said he would start uo without modification. This isn't. I would be very greatlyful for any suggestions, to HELP!

    I've had several people tried to help me solve my problem. They were all, I thought, more than I am computer savvy. As time progressed, solutions became more complex. After they all left without resolution I thought and it appeared to me that the simplest solution might be correct. One person had checked. I turned on the computer and when the Dell logo came I pushed the F12 key to open the Dell configuration screen. The drive on which the new drive has been installed has NOT been activated! Duh! I activated the he and the program Acronis recognized and everything went like clockwork after that. Phew! What relief! Thank you for your comments I am just glad that my problem it doesn't require resolution. Are Mod

  • COM3 showing in Device Manager but not in the list of printer port

    I have a Datamax Allegoro printer that uses a USB series converter. The poster converter as installed correctly (in devices and Device Manager) and received COM3.

    When I go to change the player of the printer to use the COM3 port, it is not in the list. How can I get the COM port appears in the list of printer ports?

    Note: this port was already there, but anyway when I was working on some of the settings (I changed the adapter to use COM1 temporarily as a test, then when I went to change it back, it was gone). I tried to uninstall the driver for the adapter and then re-install again, it did not work.

    Thank you.

    Use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    Good luck.

  • I opened a folder from an e-mail, made changes to the word document, and thinking that I had saved on my hard drive, I closed it. Now I can not find the file with the changes. Is there anyway I can retrieve the file with the changes that I made for her?

    recovering files

    Follow these steps to find the file;

    Go to folder options in Windows Explorer > organize, click the view tab and select "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck the box on "Hide protected operating system files".

    Copy and paste the following text in the address bar of windows Explorer. Don't forget to replace "XXX" with your own username (or one that has been used by modifying the file), C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

  • LPT1 in the hardware Manager, but not in the virtual machine settings. Parallel port software unable to find LPT. Windows 7, 64-bit and XP virtual

    Hallo,

    the forum is full of questions similar to mine and everything seems complete without useful answers some time early last year. I would like to give a try today to see if I get a solution.

    Have Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and installed XP mode to be able to use the chip programming hardware (GALEP-III), which is connected via the Parallel Port. Downloaded XP mode later than yesterday (24.02.2011) Microsoft.

    In the XP box, the LPT1 port appears in the hardware Manager. But it does not appear in the settings for the XP mode. The Galep software starts just fine, but can't find the PARALLEL port.

    As written above, there are many people who have the same problem and seem to have gotten no solution. One piece of advice I found was to modify the VMC

    LPT1 (378 h-37Fh)

    1

    The above did not work. I think it was for a different version of XP-mode.

    Then there was advice on LPT need 378 h-37Fh. It's fine with my pc.

    Then, there was a Council to stop the 'Print Spool' Service on the host pc. I tried in vain.

    So, if there is a solution to my problem, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    (Note: I'm not interested to connect a printer.) I have an IC programming material that can connect only through a parallel port. It also comes with a security dongle. GALEP III).

    Good bye.
