How can I know whether Seagate slave HDs need sp40966?

HP just replaced my Seagate 750 primary drive that died after 2 months. Before this happened, installed a new Seagate 1.5 GB as my main drive and inserted the replacement 750Go as slave. Also, I bought a Seagate 1.0 GB in January as a slave. After reading the forums yesterday, I downloaded the sp40966 to the 1.5 GB primary. When I opened it, the message reported that my system didn't need her. I guess he only checked the main C drive.

How will I know if my slave Seagate HDs need sp40966?

Terry, based on the document in this link:

It seems the only time wherever a HARD drive would be affected if it wasn't the boot drive.  So. at this point, I would be not too concerned by updating the firmware of your slave drive.  If at some point you decide to use it as a boot drive, then, you wish to update.

  • How can I know what Adobe programs I need on my computer?

    My Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing. I just downloaded Flash Player Plugin from 14 and noticed that I have 5 other Adobe programs on my computer. How can I know which ones I need to keep? Those I have is:

             Acrobat.com installed 7/03/2010;
             Flash Player 13 Active X installed 5/14/2014;
             Flash Player 14 Plugin installed 7/09/2014;

             Shockwave Player 12.0 installed 9/16/2013.
    

    Given that you list the plugins installed below, any information about those do not necessary would be useful.

    You don't need everything! But if you don't there is the 'stuff' you won't be able to do on the internet or read when you download a file that needs an Adobe program or plugin.

    Flash Player 13 Active X installed 14/05/2014; = is for Internet Explorer

    Acrobat.com installed on 03/07/2010; and Reader X (10.1.10) installed on 19/05/2014; You can display the same type of files - PDF - except the old plugin for Acrobat don't is not "seen" by Firefox, maybe an IE-only to Acrobat version?

    Shockwave Player 12.0 installed 16/09/2013. = is not used too much more - I got rid of him (as) 5 or 7 years and don't even Miss

  • I CONTINUE TO SAY THERE'S A VIRUS TROJAN ON MY MOTHERBOARD AND MY COMPUTER WILL SOON BE CRASHING? HOW CAN I KNOW WHETHER TO TRUST THE CALLER?

    I get phone calls from various technical assistance offices, claiming that my PC has a virus on it and that it sends error messages!  How can we believe that these callers are genuine and not a hoax?  Because once you give someone remote access to your PC, they can identify and hack your accounts any time etc?

    I've got some help technique and support available through my internet provider and antivirus software on the computer, so did someone else bombarded by calls?

    Thank you.

    Helen Harvey.

    Fake phone calls to technical support

    Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

    Please see:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

    Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

    These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

  • How can I know whether windows 7 is 64-bit or not. Thank you.

    Hello.

    I don't seem to have a problem with the computer, sometimes it is very slow,

    To help me, I need to uninstall Google chrome and my Java.

    My telafone system is with Talk Talk.

    Here, we have a problem, Talk Talk, says there is a problem and he would rectify as soon as possible.

    Thank you

    Danny Davies.

    To identify which version of the operating system.

    Right-click on computer in Start Menu

    Select Properties

    Type of system is about in the middle and will tell you what you need

    To eliminate the speed of the network as the cause of the problem. Google 'Speed test' to find a line tester (I use Speedtest.net especially) avoid those suggested by your provider, as some should have been disclosed to optimize traffic to these connections. Run the test and control flow, for accuracy to ensure that nothing else is using the connection at the same time. Check several times during the day because it can vary. My former ISP gave me 6.5 MB during the day which fell to less than 2 MB in the evening. Above 2 MB should give reasonable navigation and research although the downloads may be slow.

    TalkTalk have no responsibility for your PC, and I would be very dubious about allowing them to change anything on the PC itself as their tech support leaves much to be desired. If the results of the above test are OK I got someone you can count on check the PC.

    How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

    Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

    I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

    (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

    (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

    (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

    All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.
