    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion g7-2010nr Notebook pc and two nights ago, I got a message saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem" and how do I back up my data and then repaired. So I tried it to my WD My Passport 500 GB external hardrive but as soon as he gets as 57% when the reverse said it will create a file system image, the backup fails I tired it three times to try different solutions I found on the help forums, but nothing helps and I don't know if maybe it's because the hard drive problem or another problem.

  • Windows Update, interfering with the driver installed?

    New Dell with Windows 7 64 bit.  Worked well for a while.  But as I continued to install my programs and devices, at any given time, the NIC stop working.  Indication if there is no driver installed.  All - tried reinstalling Dell disk, new download from the Realtek site, other corrections after discussion with the Dell technician.  Without success until I fact a "Reinstall upgrade' to Win 7 from the disk.  Fixed.

    Now, the same thing happened with my Kodak 5300 USB all-in-one printer.  He was 'almost' fine - double-sided wasn't working.  Downloaded and installed the most recent driver from Kodak.  No solution, but at least it still, worked until yesterday.  Does not print at all and, as the situation of NIC, indication was driver problem.  Has gone through the same process but each time that Setup returns 'driver installation failed. "

    Thought I'd check Windows Update.  There, listed under optional updates, were drivers for the NETWORK card and the printer. (The update of NIC was sitting there, I guess that for some time.)  I thought 'Great' and them selected for installation.  Same thing: installation failed.  The Windows Update window provides error 800F020B code «»

    I guess that I can fix it by doing a reinstall of Windows again - but what a pain!  Because it happened twice in a month, I think that there must be a better way!

    I'm puzzled as to why the map updates NETWORK and printer published in Updater.  Maybe because when I was trying to pilot facilities, it automatically checks for the latest files to install?  Then download them via updater?

    Anyway, if anyone can help...

    Thanks for the tips.  The only way I could get the printer even be recognized has been once again to do an upgrade (repair) re - install Windows 7.  Then ran the original install disc for the printer, who got on the list of devices, but it wouldn't work.  So re-directed the installation of Kodak web page was updated, and this time it worked!  So far so good.  I am still confused as to why the update of Windows watch downloads of optional upgrade for both devices (printer and NIC) I had trouble with.  Everything is working now, so I'm not going to run files in the update.  BTW, I was able to 'hide' these updates, but not remove them.  Hide is OK, but it seems that there should be a way to permanently delete.

    Thanks again.

  • Satellite M40X - big problems with Sims 3 - help with disk drives!

    Hello
    I recently bought the sims 3 and unfortunately an error message appears saying "Disk authentication failure" I noticed after calling EA games and reading through many forums that there was a problem evident with laptops Toshiba and their ability to play the sims 3 (disk DLA).
    I did like the forums all recommended, and I have disabled the DLA drive, uninstalled the sims and restarted the computer. Not only could I not play the sims or re - install, but my computer did not recognize even the hard drive, he kept saying 'bad volume' etc.
    I got the sims on the computer and then re-enabled the DLA drive, causing my computer to close and show a major error on a blue screen.

    I then turned the computer back on, and it does not recognize the disc sims 3 more... It recognizes the other placed disks in the cd-rom drive... But now when I put the sims 3 in the player and enter my computer to open it it tells me to insert a disc into the cd player...

    My questions are the following...

    A.) how can I get my hard drive to recognize the disc sims being in the drive

    (B) once this problem is solved, how can I go about installing and using the sims 3 without disabling the DLA, which proved detrimental drive.

    (C.) other problems with computers laptop toshiba have turned around an individual driver... Metisha or something? My driver's - VOB COMPUTERSYSTEME GMHB
    Or something to that effect, which means that it has nothing to do with the DLA drive.

    For the person who can help me, that would be so so appreciated...

    Thank you

  • HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

    Hello!

    I intend to add an SSD in my two years 15-e073ca HP Pavilion Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

    In other words, there is my plan:

    1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

    2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

    3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a recovery USB stick made with my system Windows 10 real (which has been updated from Windows 8.1).

    I plan to purchase the following parts:

    1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

    2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

    I have a few questions before I buy parts:

    1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

    2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

    3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

    4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Haghe

    Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

    Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

    The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

    Enjoy.

    p.s. in this section of the forum (where I took most of the post), the solution worked almost perfectly, but it's a different product of the Pavilion 15 ^^

    Hello

    1. Yes,

    2. your machines use 9.5 mm SATA Tray,

    3 problem? I can't answer this question because who knows nothing until the track.

    4. I don't know how you create USB recovery but a good new installation should work.

  • HP Pavilion g Series notebook PC, Windows 7, boot faokure

    Then I started to notice problems this morning. The computer took a little more normal to initialize, then whem it finally shows the office, everything is horribly slow. Internet took 5 minutes to acquire, default programs appeared unresponsive and even had one of those "windows does not. You can choose to leave the program, or wait for a response"messages. Thinking it was probably a virus, I ran Avast! Antivirus protection. Who went to half an hour. Got up to 17% complete, then dropped to 9%, while, also, became unresponisve. So I think that he could have an overheating problem. Being in Las Vegas without any pry a/c is not good for any machine. So I start to remove the screws, jump off a few patches, then figure that I will never get fans or inside the vents without completely destroying the computer, so I got everything the way I found them and tried to start the machine back.

    The result is less satisfactory. The computer loads up, crosses the "press the ESC key for startup menu", then instantly switches to a screen saying "Windows is loading files...". "The bar underneath it fills, indicating that loading the files over, but nothing happens. So I restarted and I tried pressing CTRL, ALT, DELETE set, which seemed to reboot the computer, leading to another captivating display of "Windows is loading files...". ». Feel like I've been there before, I pressed CTRL, ALT, DELETE it again and somehow find a screen test, with test at startup, run-in test, system development, as well as other selections options. I go through some of the tests, and for all three, the computer passes the test of memory and the SMART test, but omits the short DST. The ID of failure for the three tests were the same, M0EDXX-5QD6KM-MFGH5F-60UR03. The product ID were also the same, be QE064UA #ABA. Then the results will follow with "Disk 1"

    Anyway... Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. And sorry in advance if I missed spelling errors... Not used to write through phone o3o

    Hello

    The error code for short drive Self Test (DST) would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  It is also compatible with other issues that you talk about slow loading, gel etc.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

    Kind regards

  • I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

    I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

    Hello

    They are cold, you try to pick up the 'business' calling

    It's a scam.

    Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

    If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.
