• I just had a new hard drive installed (with XP), and no matter where I set the resolution, everything seems to be stretched horizontally

  I just had a new hard drive installed with XP, and no matter what I set the resolution to, everything now looks stretched horizontally.  I don't have this problem with the old hard drive containing XP

  If you did a clean installation of XP, then you must install the hardware drivers for your components. Go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC, then download and install the latest Windows XP drivers for your model.

  I need a driver for a Maxtor 3200 external hard drive compatible with windows 7

  I just got a chat session with a Seagate tech (formerly Maxtor).  He said that the Maxtor 3200 s/n I made in 2006 don't is NOT supported by Win7 and never will be.  I just bought the year last from Radio Shack for about $80,00.  If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to try.  I read a blog by which this guy has followed this procedure and it worked, said: let HD; Start Win7; Turn on HD; restart the pc (NOT reboot).  Who has not worked for me.

• Secure Hard Drive wipe for Poweredge 2950

  Hello, I recently got a hold of a Dell Poweredge 2950 but until I can do something with it. I need to clear safe hard drives with killdisk (or something similar that will provide newspapers) and I have problems with what I believe, it is the raid controller. I followed these instructions

  http://sysadmin-e.com/securely-wiping-hard-disk-drives-on-Dell-PowerEdge-servers-with-BartPE-and-kill-disk

  and came very close, but it did not work. I have when I get on the use of killdisk for windows, I am able to see the virtual drives all named with the perc 5 / i but later I receive errors when trying to erase the drives. I'm starting to think that it is not possible at this point, the Active Server, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this or advice and assistance. Thank you.

  Why do you need to erase the discs on the receiving server safe?  It is usually the responsibility (desire and political) of an organization, before getting rid of a system/disk.

  Are these SAS or SATA drives?  You could attach them to a JBOD controller (PERC 5 support NOT of JBOD/no RAID), and then do the wipe directly to disk without the need to manage virtual disks on the controller.

• External hard drive compatible with 10.5.8 os

  Hi, I have an old 2009 iMac 2.4 ghz processor intel core 2 double running 10.5.8. I want to update the snow leopard operating system.

  Ive been told to should save my system before you install the update... but I can't find an external hard drive that compatible with 10.5.8... suggestions any? (seagate / WD?)

  James NZ

  Hard drives must be compatible with the connection port on a computer, not with an operating system. You can use any external HARD drive that can be connected by Firewire and USB ports on the computer.

• Snow Leopard on external hard drive, but with the help of El Capitan on my iMac 5 K?

  Is this possible to do? I have an old hard drive lying around, and I want to use older programs that are not supported by the newest OSX.

  Can I simply install snow leopard on this external hard drive and just boot up to it through my new iMac end of 2015?

  I know its possible with a virtual machine, but are there other ways to do it right?

  Thank you!!!

  It is only possible when running Mac OS X Server 10.6 inside a virtual machine.

• Hard Drive failed with no recovery disc

  I'm working on a h8 desire - 1417c. My client had a catastrophic hard drive failure and after replacing the same, I can't have Windows 8 to activate. I spent over an hour on the phone with Microsoft and they couldn't activate it, either. I have the product key from the bios, that's all right. Why MS do not block the key once it has activated the first time? The client is blocked to buy recovery disks? Thank you.

  I spent a few hours on the phone with Microsoft and they have finally capitulated and sent me a copy the retail 8 Win and the new product key. They access the system remotely and could not activate the installation with the built-in key. Yes, problem solved. It was not easy.

• Reinstall Windows 7 on hard drive again with only the Win 7 Upgrade disc?

  So I have an e9180t which, like clockwork, freezes after about an hour or two after the boot.  I thought it might be the curse of bad mothers, with what they came, but I hope that it is something else so test everything I can.  I noticed that it does not freeze upwards when it is started in safe mode with network.  The hard drive failed the test SMART so I wonder if it's time to replace it as if that has anything to do with the crash.   I can move the cursor, but no applications will be open and eventually everything becomes insensitive causing be tohit the power button to restart.   I already stopped unnecessary startup programs and it will still freeze in unsafe mode.

  The PC came with Vista and I think it's what's on backup hard disk partition.  I have the disk Win 7 Upgrade from HP.  My questons are-

  1. If I buy a new HD 7 upgrade disc will be enough to install the full version of Win 7?

  2. anything else I should do when I install the new HD and more to reactivate Windows?

  Thank you.

  Hi Mike,.

  Have you created a HP recovery disk to reinstall the factory image when replacing the HARD drive?

  It sounds like you have maybe a problem creating the recovery discs now.

  A Smart HARD drive test failure points to a HDD failure. The symptoms you are experiencing are likely caused by this fact. You can also have a card mother or any other hardware problem.

  You have the key to drive and Win 7 Upgrade product.

  I'm pretty sure that the upgrade to Windows 7 to be launched from Win Vista. The upgrade of Windows 7 is a full installation of Windows, so this isn't the problem. But he can't run the installation unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally, an upgrade to Windows 7 is launched within the current operating system, Win 7 valid existence of an eligible OS Setup and then request a restart to complete the installation of upgrade.

  You can replace the HARD drive and try to install Win 7 itself. If this fails and you do not have the Vista recovery discs, you can buy an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different versions. Select one that corresponds to the operating system that is installed at the factory.

  You may have another problem to replace the HDD with a Format HDD advanced most recent. Please see thisHP Supportdocument for more information.

  If you cannot install the upgrade Windows 7 itself or Win Vista because of the issue of the Advanced Format HARD drive, you may need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 OEM.

  Replaced the drive HARD internal and have error with boot agent intel.

  How to disable a intel boot agent.

  Helllo machadoas,

  You want to disable the Intel boot agent.

  You should be able to load in the BIOS at startup by pressing F10, go to boot order and move boot agent under the HARD drive.

  Here is a link that talks a little more about the boot agent.

  Let me know if it helps.

• Wiping Hard Drive, Reinstalled with Windows 7 with upgrade disk product key error

  My computer has been acting upward, so I back up hard drive and erased the hard drive with the BACK CLEAN ALL command. I then reinstalled windows 7 from my Windows 7 Upgrade disk and restore my files on hard disk. The computer works fantastic and returned half of the memory of the hard drive. A few days later, I get a message on the screen that I have 30 days left until I can produce a product key from the original Windows installation, does not accept the upgrade product key.

  I tried the product key located on the bottom of my laptop for Windows Vista comes with the HP computer. It does not work and it gave me no disk backup for Windows Vista from HP.

  I called Microsoft and they told me to contact HP for the product key. I see on this forum that someone else has written a similar plea, because it is a plea, and HP said to contact Microsoft. In other words, Microsoft says to contact HP and HP says to contact Microsoft.

  I use Microsoft since Windows 3.2 operating systems and have bought a lot of products of them. It's my 3rd HP laptop, my wife is on her 2nd HP laptop. Well you know what? If I don't get this resolved quickly by one of your companies, and I'm not remember Microsoft, I'm through the two of you.

  I don't see where Microsoft is not being fooled off but when it's to the detriment of a loyal customer, so don't worry. HP is also responsible for this. An upgraded version of Windows 7 (to upgrade from Vista or XP) should be smart enough (and I thought it was) to remember that I had the original version and its product key should be enough. Also I don't never told me that I had to keep the old product keys, and it doesn't matter anyway because the product key is always available in my laptop HP, but it does not work.

  I'm not buying another HP without your help and actually buying an Apple Mac for my wife and my next computer if it is not resolved. I think that HP is probably as bad as Microsoft so that it will not be solved and I'm not shelling out more money for something I already own.

• HP Pavilion dv7t 3300: replacing hard drive SSD with the recovery DVD

  My Pavilion dv7t3300 has two hard drives... A SATA 500 GB of data and an SSD 128 GB containing the operating system and other programs.   The SSD drive that contains the operating system failed.  When I install the replacement SSD, I intend to use the HP System recovery DVD (2) which came with the unit.  If I load the recovery disks will be erase/format all my data-files in the 500 GB drive.

  The new drive is "naked".

  Thank you for your help

  I just remove the second disk while making the recovery operation and slap it in when the process is complete. Better safe than sorry. Theoretically, the recovery disks will not affect the second drive, but it's really easy to be sure that they will not be 100%.
