hardrive info is lost

I asked a question on my error code problem occurs and it came true. I have a question, however, about this topic. If I installed another Vista or Win 7, lost everything on my hard drive? I have a lot of work there and cannot lose it. Help!

It depends on several factors (what version of Vista for which version of Windows 7 or from 32-bit to 64-bit). Dual boot Vista, Vista or Vista + Windows 7 systems also present unique challenges.

In any case you should always make a backup Image of Vista (for an external USB disk) before you start, as you say you have a lot of data, you can not lose.

  • Persistence of info external storage device music

    I have a 16 GB USB with adapter OTG. Because I'm running out of space on my phone, I keep my music on the USB port. I can download music info (which is a bit incorrect, but that's another story) for music, but as soon as I eject the USB, all the music info is lost. This only happens when the phone is turned on. Is there a way to stop the lost music info when external storage devices are removed with music on them?

    Yes: Connect this USB to your PC and use software Media Go update info music, phone updates is stored locally on the phone itself, so if you remove the USB key, reset the phone or deleted from the media database updates will be lost. Also is it better to update the media on the USB.

  • My MacBook 12 regularly gets an analysis of needs of Unix executable file names in her basket

    My MacBook 12 regularly gets a Unix executable file named 'needsanalysis' in his trash. Anyone have any idea why? What is it? What can I do to stop what is happening?

    I have two laptops on a an environment MBA 2011 and a 2016 MB and it happens on the latter. Both are on OSX 10.11.6

    Thank you, Colin.

    The executable "unix" just means that it doesn't have an extension for the operating system is not what it is. In addition, the executable bits are defined, so it may have been a case, but this info was lost, too.

    Do you run all software anti-virus on them? I don't know what else would generate something that "needs analysis".

  • After a one-hour FF starts using up to 1.6 GB of CPU

    This has happened for a long time, but it's really annoying. I have to restart firefox all the time. If I don't it will just crash. The cpu usage goes up to 1.6 GB and be generally more then 2 tablets, it is really slow [even with the low use of the processor 200-300 MB].

    Yes, I've read all the help topics and did what I could [ago], but if other things become worse. I can't really use it for all the things that I need, and there is always a chance if lose me all the messages I write because of the crash problem.

    Any help would be appreciated

    P.S. When you connect to post this topic would be nice if, after you have entered a wrong password log-in window (not the intruder window) are left open.
    Recently, my FF crashed and the info was lost. I had to create a new profile and substitute the information from the old to the new. Opening of the old profile has failed. I did not press all the shortcuts, FF just crashed. That's corrected now, but I am just informing you.

    Thank you. I did this and it was much better. I activated some add-ons now and it's still not too bad (although it is up to 500 MB at the moment with only 3 active modules) when I find that the extension has been the cause of the problem, should I notify the creator of it?

    Edit: Add the block more seems to use a lot of memory. Edge of Adblock, works better.

  • Cannot transfer pictures to the external hard drive (refused)

    Hey!

    I can't transfer jpg on my computer to my external hard drive all of a sudden. He's worked a lot of years and now when I try to drag the photos on it gives me a stop sign, that white circle with the diagonal line through it. What gives? Any help would be great appreciated! I have a lot of work there.

    Additional information:

    -J' have permission to read and write on the jpg photos, but the disk that he said that I can read only, and there is no way to change this, when I click on the little triangle down.

    -I can drag photos that already exist ON the disk hard ON my desk, but not vice versa

    -All files are jpg files, and they are in a separate folder on my desktop, not from my iphoto library or whatever it is

    -J' also tried to delete the "com.apple.recentitems.plist" of the finder, and nothing has changed

    -The disc model is a "Slim Seagate laptop drive"

    -Here is a photo of the hardrive info:

    Thank you

    The external HARD drive is formatted NTFS, which allows you to write on it unless you have a third party app like Paragon or Tuxera.

    You had these software installed by Seafgate in the drive, but it is now obsolete and should be updated.

    Ciao.

  • BSOD occurs when the inserted SD card. FASTFAT. SYS crashes.

    I have it happens almost everytime if the machine has been used for a while. Insertion of an SD (4 GB format Canon) a BSOD is virtually guaranteed. After a new start it works fine but disastrous otherwise since all the info is lost and nothing is closed.

    I watched the dump file and the FASTFAT. SYS is the cause of the accident. It is a very old driver in Windows 7 and there are several problems with it in many forums that goes back even to XP. There is no plant introduced by any other device or USB key/drive connected. Only the SD card.

    I thought that this may have be due to the USB controller is off for economy of energy, but even after the removal of capacity by enabling / disabling not to turn it off to save power to USB devices, that it always crashed the very next time I used what was days later. The system was that it is usually plugged.

    I can do the same thing on my old laptop with its internal player of multicast running Windows 7 32 bit, and there is no problem. The Thinkpad with Win 7 64 bit. I am always aware of a BSOD occurring dare I plug my camera card. This makes the port useless since I can't afford regular crashes and an external card reader may have to be used.

    After considerable effort and reload the drivers. I found the driver for the series 6.x installed version and not the version number that Lenovo States on the package information. By comparing the file SYS of two pilots in effect is the same, including the version number. In the end, I got the last being installed, but it is not what says Lenovo.

    Also, since all this time number uninstall anyway, I was able to force it to take. The SD card is no more crash the system. I used it several times since the announcement, then all the time before putting it together. It looks like all that fixes something, somewhere, somehow without rational reason for BSOD crashes.

  • Large print

    Just replaced my printer with a new 5530 envy.

    Now, in MS Word, print preview displays the complete the content pane I want actual print is oversized, so the info is lost at the bottom right edge.  It is not WYSIWYG.  (Vertical and horzontal "rulers" in Word shows that the content is in the paper size 8.5 "X 11")

    No doubt, I'm doing something stupid, but I was not able to find a cure.  I would be grateful for any help.

    Cooper D

    Hey @repoocld,

    Thanks for getting back to me on this subject.

    It is strange that the oversized printing problem can't MS Word occasionally. Because all other programs seem to print very well I think your printer hardware and software are fine. However, there may be a problem with the printer driver which contributes to this problem. I will you perform the steps on how to add a different printer driver.

    How to add another driver:

    1. Click on the Start menu
    2. Select the devices and printers
    3. In the devices and printers folder, right click on your HP ENVY 5530 and left click on printer properties
    4. Left click on the Advanced tab
    5. Left-click on new driver
    6. When the new window driver opens just hit 'next' until you see a list of manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
    7. Select HP as the manufacturer on the left
    8. DeskJet 9800 select the printer on the right. If Deskjet 9800 is only select "Windows Update" at the bottom left and once the update has been completed, you will be able to select Deskjet 9800.
    9. After selecting Deskjet 9800 hit next complete the new driver Wizard
    10. Under the printer properties window, select 'Apply' but do not hit OK
    11. Select the general tab
    12. Rename your printer in HP ENVY 5530
    13. Click OK
    14. Finally, right-click on your HP ENVY 5530 once more and click on Printing Preferences
    15. Left click on the paper/quality tab
    16. Left click on the drop down menu 'Normal' for quality printing at the bottom right and change its normal fast
    17. Press apply and OK
    18. Copy and paste the text in MS Word and try to print again.

    Please let me know if another driver solves the oversized printing problem. Good luck!

  • Smart phone BlackBerry Smartphones wiped clean - all restored but NO E-MAIL

    My Bold 9700 was wiped yesterday (long story on the children playing with a password protected BB!) In any case, I was able to do a full restore of the backup on my desk minimal info was lost HOWEVER since the wipe clean I have not been able to set up my email properly on the BB accounts.  I go to "manage email accounts" and I still see all accounts there.  I select one, enter my e-mail password for this account and click on 'check' and each time (for each account) I get the following message - "sorry, impossible to continue your session.

  • SD reader in the 15-in-1 card reader

    Hi all...

    I have a Pavilion Elite HPE-560z office running Windows 7.

    My question is about the SD card reader. It will support an SDXC type card?  If she does'nt, can it be upgraded to accept via a download or a new installation material?

    The type of SDXC cards seems to be a new optional format used for newer devices that take HD video. They also come in 64 GB size.

    I buy a new Canon camera and the SDXC SD card seems to be the way forward as they come in a larger size of GB.

    The maufacturer warns that the insertion of an SDXC card of type in a player that doesn't support will not be promt the reader to want to re-formatt it. If this happens, the info is lost and the card is destroyed.

    Hello

    The quick answer is no.  You have not yet what you try to paste a map SDXC in an older SD drive.

    You could do the research on the card Express PCI - E adapter and also SANDISK SDXC card.

    Leading edge can be bleeding edge.  Those who take the risk could get the reward.

  • Information of Embeded image - newbie question

    Hello

    I have a problem with Illustrator CS3:

    I have a file .ai with an image embedded in it, see the first picture below

    2.jpg

    The image is embeded (indicated by the icon on the links Panel). But there is no information about this embeded image. On the Control Panel, I see the single string "Embeded", when you point to it, you see only the label "no file associated with this image.

    When I create a link to the image embedded with a new and embed it as well, I see this:

    1.jpg

    Instead of this "Embeded" label on the Control Panel, I see the name of the embeded image. The name is also visible on the links Panel. When I chose the 'Link Information' option in the links Panel menu, I can see the name and location of this embeded image.

    Why is it like that and how can get rid you of the embeded file name information and location.

    Thanks for your help.

    The behavior is logical and correct. Lack of information on the embedded files would indicate that they have been generated in another version of I and this info is lost when converting between versions, the image was pasted instead of place or files have been generated by other sources entirely (any PDF files and that sort of thing). Because I files are editable, it is logical that the names of gall are kept in case one needs to change. I don't know why you think it is a bad thing. If for some reason you won't, then the answer is already in what I said - convert the file in a format inherited and then re-open or paste the image pixel data.

  • Dynamic form (goes and comes without loss of data!)

    Hey there!

    I am in a bit of a pickle... especially since I'm not very goot with AS2...

    Here's what I'm trying to do:

    http://www.isleekdesign.com/customtravel.swf

    It is essentially a shape with 6 pages that you can scroll backward, if you missed some information and want to go back for review.

    I think the concept is good, but I'm not sure how to actually run.

    Here is a screenshot of the timeline, so get you an idea of how I did it (but you probably know it already...):

    http://www.isleekdesign.com/timeline.jpg

    I did create a mask and shape scrolls... it going forward until that 45 frame, then it goes to the rear.

    For example, if we are on page 2 of 6 and retaliate, he plays the animation "backwards" and jumps to frame 1 (of course plays don't step back, but with a ' gotoAndStop (1) '; command).

    The problem is that if I fill, say that all of the information on page 1 of 6 and then scroll down... when I come back to this page, the info is lost.

    Here's what the form looks like:

    http://www.isleekdesign.com/Scene1.jpg

    I have named each text entry and checkbock accordingly, but am not sure how to get the input data actually stick to each field so that the "coming and going" actually works...

    Any ideas on how to achieve this? The next step is to send the form to a php script... But first things first

    My * guess * is that a script should be added when I hit the "next" button, so that it sticks the field values (what the user has typed) in each field and stays there. This will also help collect information of each page for when it is ready to be sent.

    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me. I'm ready to download the .fla is necessary.

    Kind regards

    iSleek

    Save all data (in variables), before leave you a page.

    for example, create your instance of loadvars to send when you initialize your app (before you get on the pages of form):

    var sendLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();  Initialize, so it is not crushed.  You may even need:

    {if(!sendLV)}

    var sendLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

    }

    Then, before leaving a page, wrap through all your textfields and record the input data to sendLV:

    sendLV.name = nameTF.text;

    sendLV.address = addressTF.text;

    .

    .

    .

    etc.

    When you enter a loop of the form through your textfields page again to see if all the data was stored:

    {if(sendLV.Name!=undefined)}

    nameTF.text = sendLV.name;

    }

    {if(sendLV.Address!=undefined)}

    addressTF.text = sendLV.address;

    }

    .

    .

    .

    etc.

    not only this will prevent loss of data among users of flash and frustrating, but you will be all set to call your script php with your populated loadvars.
