• Erasing a hard drive WELL on a machine with Windows 7 and 8

  OK, I have two laptops, I'll sell, a HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 and a 2000 HP with Windows 8. I want to make sure that no personal info is left on them. I used the function "reset" on the Windows 8 machine and I used on the Windows 7 machine recovery disks. Some of what I saw online, that should be enough, but others say I should also use Windows Eraser, or something like that, make sure that no programs recovery software can recover all the data (if the person I have to sell is be a techie).

  ... And some say just to use the computer strongly without putting any personal information on this subject and it will make all previous data unrecoverable thereon, but does not say how strongly or for how long to use a computer to ensure that all personnel in this regard is unrecoverable.

  So what is the answer? I don't have the recovery disc for the computer of Windows 8, I guess that I had to get a part or do some before using a hard drive eraser.

  Thank you

  Hi Qathe2013,

  Let me first answer your last question: in most cases, yes you will need your recovery disc or you will end up with a computer without an operating system.  However most manufacturers, including HP, put another partition on the hard disk with a file recovery: what you need to reinstall the operating system.  Depending on how it is configured, this additional partition on the hard drive may or may not appear when you browse your files and folders in Solution Explorer, then you might need to make sure that the manual.

  As to the "use the computer heavily and no info cannot be recovered", it's just about the fact that computers are still using re-use of space available disk and overwrite the old regions on the disk.  After a few re-writes the original data cannot be recovered using costly and sophisticated same restoration processes.  But you have no way of knowing if your real personal data was really erased.

  I will say that for most, just format the disk is enough.  I might personally feel safe with that I don't have - or even just using the function to reset the PC in Windows 8.  However, this does mean that a sufficiently motivated person were able to restore the bits of information I have.  So a program that replaces empty space on the disk with random data (sometimes referred to as "zero-ing" the disc) would put you at ease.

  I would also say long you can get your hands on the recovery CD (or make sure that the recovery partition exists), you can go ahead and clean the drive, reinstalled Windows itself and sell the PC.

• Can I Exchange my hard drive to an another n200?

  Hi, I have a problem with my 3000 n200.

  I´ll try to make the story as short as possible;

  My first problem seems to be that the power adapter died (battery was not charging and nor was the witness of battery ignition) so I bought another adapter, to my distress that didn t work.

  So I decided to take a look at the connection for the power supply. Again, I could see no problem with that really. My fear is that if I replace the power supply and so I will move on to the next element in the chain.

  However I have a slightly tangential solution. On Ebay, I found th same model without hard drive (a receipt) or food (Got 2!) and lack of a few pieces of minor cosmetics (easy stuff) and a good price too.

  So my question is... often I simply move on my hard drive to the new laptop (ebay)?

  I m very aware that I'll probably have to install windows again, that s no biggie, I ve been a good boy and saved. I prefer of course switch simply on and everything be back as usual but I m a realist.

  My big concern is the file restore and recovery on the hard drive. Will I be able to reinstall windows from this or I have to buy a new copy of XP (is it still possible today?) ID much prefer to continue to use the same laptop due to some music software I run and ExpressCard location which I use constantly. I need continuity at least for some time organize my projects.

  Thanks in advance and sorry to be so talkative.

  its supposed to have the same characteristics as the original. then, you should be able to use it as your original computer, but make sure that you have disabled the bios password if you have one on your old computer.

  The easiest way is to use a USB to SATA or IDE USB adapter. (most of the adapters offer both).

• What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

  What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?  Also, WHERE can I find this specification?  Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

  FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

  "1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID".  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.  Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers.  For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE).  AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB.  Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY.  It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection.  So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used.  However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect.  Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false.  Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both.  So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

  2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan.  For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site.  But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon.  So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size.  Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40.  So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• Why my hard drive in GB available when I am freezing and deleting files?

  We try to release our c drive for more Go to allow our itunes to run, as he left recently updated due to say that there is not enough free space on our hard drive.  We did the disk cleanup, defragmentation and removed tons of files.  We uninstalled many programs last night and has space approximate, we needed, but when we have eliminated several files this morning our disk space had decreased dramatically.

  Help, please!

  He shouldn't do that, check for a virus or malware.

  The pagefile is also possible (a part of the disk hard Windows use as RAM) is expanding for some reason any. If the managed system pagefile is possible. in general, it will be double of your physical RAM.
  You can also try CCleaner & Defraggler of Piriform.
  CCleaner cleans up the registry which may contain unnecessary information of uninstalled programs, he leans on cookies, trash and other temporary items that can be cleaned.
  Defraggler is an alternative to the windows defragmentation, I personally think that it does a better job and release often huge chunks of hard drive.
  Piriform software is free to use for personal use only. There can be no ads or restrictions trail. CCleaner offers as destroy all space on the hard drive with 0, it should dissipate all "empty" space, the system can be badly interpreted as full. However written all the free space with zeros can take a lot of time and make the system busy all by.

• I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space, but I find no windows.old file?

  I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space. but I find no windows.old file?

  The first installation failed because I had a copy of counterfeit Windows 7.

  I bought another copy and installed. Then, I got a horrible virus/worm that disabled all .exe files and the fix was just beyond me!

  I installed again but did not know that the previous facility where still there.

  I tried to clean the disc, but I don't me "from previous versions of windows" to clean.

  I find no windows.old file. (Enabled hidden files)

  Only I have a disc ssd 60gig and want the missing 35gig kindly returned to use.

  Can someone help?

  Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:

  Click Start

  Right click on computer

  Click on properties

  Click on advanced system settings

  Click on the System Protection

  Click on configure

  Adjust the amount of disk space allocated to system restore.

  In addition, the amount of RAM you have installed, it will take more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.

• IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  < re-titled by host >

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

  What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

• The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

  I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

  I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

  Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

  What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

  By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

  No, at least not by us.

  Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
  laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

  There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
  and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
  sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

  But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
  are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

  For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
  lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

  Hello rsmith3042000

  What kind of system do you have?

  Do you have an XP installation CD?

  Here are installation tutorials

  http://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_pro_install_-_graphic.htm

  http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

  If you had only a recovery partition, it's lost now so you might contact the manufacturer and ask for the CD recovery.
