Help with hard drive

I have a problem with Windows 7 and recently bought a HP p6-2133w with Windows 7 installed, I need to download and to make operational a piece of software which is not compatiable. Wanted to Crash Windows 7 and install XP instead, but it was a no go. Can you help and tell me how to plant this hard drive. Also tried to install another hard drive and install the system and she always do it?

  • Help with Hard Drive and registry

    Hey, it kinda turns out to be a long and difficult history, but I recently had a small problem that spread to a problem much bigger (and catastrophic).

    I had a problem with freezxing on my laptop (HP Pavilion Dv5 with the 64-bit version of Vista I think). I've tried a few things m ais it froze just in case. Finally I found someone who said they ran a registry cleaning program and that did the trick. I tried and I had no more freezing. Unfortunately, I connected an external hard drive and all hell broke loose. It froze and I turned off the laptop. I have it turned on and was greeted with this message:

    STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
    The Session Manager failed to create protected prefixes system process terminate
    d unexpectedly with a status of 0x000003a (0x00000000 0x00000000).
    The system has been shut down.
    

    I tried to boot in safe mode and found:

    STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}
    The registry cannot load the hive (file):\SystemRoot\system32\config\SOFTWARE or its log alternative.
    It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
    

    Then, she went and made the collection of data, and that was all. After that, I tried the boot recovery option and that never worked. I searched internet and found a few people with similar, but never the same questions. Someone, somewhere, says something about execution of system restore after having access to the menu by pressing F8 at startup. I tried. It did not work. I pressed F8 at startup upward and chose the first option. It has established a list of things to try. System Restore (and other options such as checking memory and bring up the command prompt) did not work because the C drive has been used. Large. I tried to use the disks that came with my laptop and I never once found while they were actually useful because I could never the laptop to run.

    Now, I wanted to try to use the command prompt. Never really had a chance. Now, when I start the computer I'm greeted by the inspiring message of hard drive are not.

    Sweet. Now, I'm a little stuck on what to try. I tried to reset the BIOS defaults and nada. I have no idea what it must try now and would love to help anyone.

    I would be very happy and I thank you for your time.

    It depends on how much you have to pay to get the new hard drive installed and running. Get a quote for a computer shop trust you.  So I think that if the computer has been done what you wanted to do before he went wrong.  If it was enough for you and the price of the repair is not too high (maybe less), I would. If the price is more than $ 200, I would start thinking about applying your money towards a new laptop computer, but that cheaper isn't always the best deal.  Do some research and try some mobile friends to see if it is fast enough for you and you enjoy the feeling. Stop in some stores that display laptops and taste. Laptops with dedicated video card memory will do better with the games.  If the games are starting to become important to you, consider a desktop computer instead of a laptop where you can buy a killer video card. I like the new Ivy bridge to intel for laptops so look for it.  This is the new family of Intel processors. I7 Ivy bridge is the finest, then the i5, then the i3.  You really need to sit with someone who knows computers and discuss your needs for the future and how you want to use your computer.

  • Help with hard drives and the "switch" statement

    All the

    I was wondering if you could please help? It's probably more to do with "powershell" than powercli but are... What I'm trying to achieve is the ability to create a function that runs through all my VM - counts the number of hard drives by VM - crosses EACH hard drive and gives me the ability of each of them. He then returns to a csv file (which iknow how to do). The segment below is pretty well what I want, but I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the amount of code! I tried using a foreach statement, but got stuck (PS - the maximum number of hard drives of our virtual machines can have is 5)

    I'm just using a switch statement, because that is what I "thought" answered the problem. However if there is a way I could get the same result without so much 'code' that would be ideal.

    Switch ($vm.harddisks.length) {}

    ($vm.harddisks.length - eq. 1) {

    ($obj |) Ajouter-Membre Noteproperty 'Disk 1' ($vm.harddisks [0] .capacitykb))

    }

    ($vm.harddisks.length - eq 2) {

    ($obj |) Ajouter-Membre Noteproperty 'Disk 1' ($vm.harddisks [0] .capacitykb))

    ($obj |) (Add - Member Noteproperty "Hard Disk 2" ($vm.harddisks [1] .capacitykb))

    }

    Try something like this

    $i = 1
    $vm. Hard drives | %{
    $obj | Noteproperty Add-member ('Hard drive' + $i) ($vm.harddisks [$i - 1] .capacitykb)
    $i ++

    If anyone can help what to do?

    Thank you

    Sometimes, this can happen with the new hard drive too. I recommend you save all data, if it stops working. In case you, I communicate with the service center and ask them to replace. they will do it for free. you see, it looks like mechanical problem and don't think you can fix it yourself

    Hi Konyga,

    If you already have a warning on the internal HARD disk before Windows starts I would recommend sharing it and backup all data as quickly as possible.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?
    If Yes, you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider. It would be free because it s covered by the warranty. All you have to do is contact with an ASP.

  • 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

    @Alin742

    Go to this site and create a bootable CD.

    http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/

    Boot from the CD.

    If she asks do you want SCSI, click No or just press ENTER. (countdown to 30 seconds)

    The port selection select your HARD drive. (Usually 1, 3 or 6).

    If you do not see your HARD drive, you will need to restart and go into the BIOS and SATA ATA value.

    After choosing your type of HARD drive, ERASE and press to enter. (This will erase all data).

    Leave it to erase the entire disc. (Depending on the size, it may take 2 to 5 hours.)

    Once done erase all disk F4 2 hit shots and will start the test.

    Many people simply replace the HARD drive and all that is wrong is there is simply soft errors. (Errors caused by software not hardware errors.)

    If you need help running the program let me know.

  • problems with hard drive HP envy m6 - 1222sr

    HP ENVY m6 - 1222sr Notebook PC (Windows 8.1)

    Bought a laptop with windows by default 8. Everything was fine. But after the upgrade to windows 8.1 have a problem with the hard drive. The simplest tasks cause the startup hard disk 100%. The system starts to slow down. It is interesting that there is no difference in the speed of read/write. 0.1 mb/s or 10 + hard drive still mb/s is charged to 100%. After the defragmentation - nothing has changed. I suspect that blame the upgrade to Windows 8.1. How to solve the problem?

    PS Sorry for the bad English.

    Everything was much easier than I thought. At first reinstalled Windows and drivers, but it did not help. The problem disappeared after disabling user account Windows and switching to a local account. After 4 days of torment is a feeling that the laptop is running 10 times faster. I hope that this all ends.
