Hi johnny English 7.

  1. What happens when you connect the drive to the computer?
  2. Are access you other USB devices on the computer?
  3. Did you the latest changes on the computer?

Method 1

I suggest that you check if the hard drive is detected in disk management and make sure also hard drive has the drive letter to attributed to it.

To open disk management

(a) from the start menu, click Run.

(b) in the Open box, type diskmgmt.msc, and then click OK.

  • How can I make a copy of the "Windows Calendar" - my 'save Windows' installation does not work!

    I would like to 'save' the Windows Calendar and save it to a Kingston USB device, or something similar. I seem to be unable to locate the file via the 'computer' tab - the only file I could find/copy was the "quick start up.

    Perhaps Windows does not allow me to do so, but if there is a way I would like to hear that I am very dependent on the use of every day of the calendar.

    Hi Wayne N.,.

    1. What is the exact error you get when you try to make the backup of windows?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    The first thing you want to do is to ensure you have all of your known appointments, meetings and functions is entered in the calendar.
    a. click on file in the windows calendar.
    b. click on export. (This will take you to the export dialog box.)
    c. choose a location to store the file *. ICS. (The ICS standard is a standard text developed by Apple to facilitate importation of text data for the calendar).
    Note: Save the file to removable media such as a CD or a Flash drive and bring it to another computer to import other utilities of calendar. Or you can also save it on the same computer for upload to the calendar application.

    Now we can import this file into several types of calendar applications such as Yahoo or Google Calendar online. For example, I'll show import you backups window "in MSN Calendar.

    Go to your MSN Calendar, and click the Add drop-down list and import calendar. Enter the location of the backup schedule, and then click Import.


    NOTE:
    another thing to remember is the file ICS is a calendar snapshot. This means that all changes will not automatically be saved in the file. If you rely on your calendar strongly make sure to save regularly.

    How can I make myself clean and my computer with no other account administrator?

    Do not run as administrator on a daily basis - and in Windows 7, there is absolutely no need to do so.

    Configure a user account Standard for yourself to run on a daily basis and create an administrator account (call the Admin or something similar with a password) to use in an emergency and only for purposes of elevation.

    You can use the 5 Lightroom Catalog and improve it in Lightroom 6, therefor all folders and collections will be identical in both version.

    Open the Lightroom all holding the key Alt/Opt and select only the 5 Lightroom Catalog and it will switch to it.

    Would appreciate help from the members of the Forum.

    The drive on my Acer Z5610 is overheating and stop unexpectedly. I bought a new 1 TB WD HARD drive. I tried loading the Acer recovery CD 3 I initially created in order to load all applications touch etc, but received a message to say that I got at loading Windows. The computer came pre loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, so I did not all Windows disks. My question is: How can I transfer Windows 7 on my new HARD drive so I can begin to rebuild the PC?

    Hello

    I think that you have created the driver & application backup, if this is the case & * if the old HDD is still detected & boots you could create a factroy restore discs, if not then you might even get to store.acer.com.

  • How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

    How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
    Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

    How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

    Any correction, automated for this?

    Thank you.

    It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

    Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

    Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

    I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7

    Hi Zling,

    It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.
