  Personally, I would be interested to see what disk management says on the disc. Right click on my computer > choose manage. In the left pane, click "disk management". The content will grow in the right pane. Make a written note or a screen shot showing both used and free space.

  Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

• Satellite M70 - after HARD drive partitioned, the OS does not start

  Hello

  Good then this is a real doozy, and I hope that someone will help.

  I started to fix my satellite m70 girlfriends using the disc of recovery etc, everything went fantastic, the HARD disk has been erased and Windows + all software has been reinstalled.

  Then I thought it would be a good idea to use partition magic to partition the hard drive, so I chose the main hard drive and cut 10GB of it to put in place a new partition.

  I rebooted, and then after Windows restarted again completed.

  NOW, it does not charge, it says no operating system, so I tried to start with the recovery disk and all over again...

  If I click on continue (to start the recovery process), however it is said now that the "Error #1828", free space is too small.

  I'm really angry that this has happened and I just want to start over again.

  Can someone help me with this?
  I can't access the Bios either (not sure if that might help), because I don't know the password (must be a fault im not aware of).

  Help, please.

  Thank you
  SG

  I think that this is the reason why you used a tool to change the size of the partition. At best, this should be done before you install Windows and 10 GB is a little too small for Windows. You must use at least 15-20 GB for the first partition where the BONE is placed.

  To resolve this problem, you must delete all existing partitions before using the recovery disk. Therefore, you can use a Windows XP disk or something else. Just boot from it and delete all partitions. Then the recovery disk should work.
  Check it!

• 750-103D want: I want to install a 3rd HARD drive but the system will not start

  Desktop motherboard has 5 heads SATA (of which 2 were used for the first DvD and HARD disk in the original Setup) and the box has 3 bays for HARD drive, but there is no additional power from the PSU cable.

  I installed a new SSD as my main and designated record the 1 TB of HARD drive that came with the desktop as my secondary school and office works just great.

  Now I tried to install an another 1.5 TB HARD drive for storage. I used a SATA power cable Y (1 male to 2 females) to extend the existing cable. However, to my great disappointment, the system is unable to start up. I guess that supply POWER 300 watts current is insufficient to start 3 disks to a single supply with extension cable.

  Issues related to the:

  1] sells HP a 500-watt power supply with power cable for SATA 3 HARD drive?

  [2] is a compatible power supply on the market (ie. not HP) who can stand in 750-103D envy? Brand/model and how much?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Probably, you have misunderstood my response.  Unplug the original HD boot drive.

  Your question is not the power supply lack of insufficient power.  I have observed remains with HP computers with a power supply that would support three HDs off a 300 Watt SATA power cable voltage.

  Perhaps the third HD is formatted incorrectly or is defective.  The other possibility is that your SATA Y cable connection is defective.  You also need good 5V and 12V.  In addition, if you have made any hardware changes to your PC you have not indicated, then it is possible that you may need a bigger power supply.

• New hard drive in the PC and now can not see child PC in the Family Safety website

  Recently, we had to install a new hard drive in my son's PC.  I can confirm Family Safety is on his account, to block Web sites are blocked, delays are granted, and there is curfew in place.

  But when I connect to https://familysafety.microsoft.com I see my account on the PC, but I can't see me son under kids account.  I followed all the links, help is here.  I deleted and then re-created his account, the computer is approved, and I can see Family Safety is on his account, but I still don't see the PC as part of the children's section of https://familysafety.microsoft.com.

  Rohit:

  The wiki article was not a solution - but thank you.

  The problem is finally resolved when I could access MS FS through the settings on the PC.  It has a link to MS FS in settings FS (user) who has been for several weeks.  This must have been on the side of Microsoft since after accessing this link work then all the features of the FS.

• So how do you REALLY just toolbar buttons show the icons (and not text)?

  On my bookmarks toolbar, my favorites 'buttons' display the icon AND text. I want to just display the icon, no text. When I right click, customize, the "Customize toolbar" window opens. Down in the lower left corner the drop of the "show" option is already set to "icons" (and only the icons). But it's just not so. The toolbar buttons display icons AND text. If I scroll through the drop-down list just for fun, it doesn't change. I choose "icons (only)" all day, but the toolbar buttons always display text.

  Hello dotdot, try the other, right-click on a bookmark and select Properties, and then clear the name of the bookmark and save it.

  Thank you

• Disabling a hard drive in the Device Manager make it stop spinning and using power?

  If I go into DEVICE - DISK DRIVES MANAGER, then I right click on my second hard drive internal (not hand on which Windows Vista is installed, but my extra hard drive that I purchased separately and added inside my computer on a SATA port), and then click DISABLE, then can you tell me if this selected hard drive :

  1 stop rotating?

  2. always powered?

  In other words, DISABLING a drive hard internal in Device Manager stops it to use the power and spinning?

  The reason I ask is the following: I want to use this second hard drive only for backup, this is why I don't want to use the power and wear when I'm not a backup, in other words, almost all the time.

  Thank you!

  
  

  Hello

  Well Yes and no--or it depends on the BIOS - Controller - the inner workings of the drive and
  usually, they will follow this path:

  A Second hard drive uses the power when not used?
  http://www.ehow.com/about_5333434_second-power-not-being-used.html

  Don't forget there is a report which do not use the drive to maximize your comfort removes
  most of the advantage of not to use regularly to preserve its life expectancy, which is a little questionable
  anyway. If use you really only rarely, and then it does not start and stop much, then you
  could have extended his life (or not). If the drive is the size, it could be put to better use
  then extend his life a little reward compared to the optimization of its purpose.

  Here is a recent discussion however please note there is no 'right' way and certainly there
  is a roll in all methods.

  "Generally" things that have the most impact on life in car (assuming that no default) are "generally" heat,
  so frequent starts and stops and finally use. The problem is it is almost impossible to
  really effectively control the last two unless you use rarely drive. (Problems of food can
  also impair a driver, especially brown outs (low power) and voltage spikes.

  I hope this helps.
