• How can I reformat a drive

  I was backing up my computer for the first time, it took many many records.  I think I want to just save photos, documents and contacts.  How can I reformat the RW disks so I can reuse them and how to back up only the files?

  A little off topic...

  I strongly suggest that you buy an external hard drive and do you backup files on it.
  With an external hard drive, you can set up a schedule of backup files. All you need to do is turn on the computer > plug the drive Ext. hard and let the computer do the backup when the calendar.
  You can leave the computer unattended and want you want to do.

  Nowadays, an external hard drive of 1 TB of capacity can be had for less than $100, and I quote in Canadian dollars. And I use one.

  Imagine that you have to go through the computer for HOURS, feeding the machine with DVD whenever he asks.
  I remember he had time, I could not complete backup of files because the computer kept asking for disk #3 while I was on the disk #5 etc.

  Personally, using DVD for backup of files, it of a waste of your time, childcare of the computer and the loss of your money to buy the DVD.

• How can I reformat my drive hard when I'm away from my windows vista disk?

  System backup and restore do not work. My windows update does not work.

  I have spyware and viruses that mess my computer. I have to reformat my hard drive and I can't find my windows freakin vista disk.

  So how do reformat you without disk of window vista, I need detailed instructions on how to do this.

  Without an OS disk, Vista or otherwise reformat will not improve your
  situation. You have options that...
   
  a. you can use the integrated recovery of your PC system (if it has one). Often
  It's accessible by repeatedly pressing F12 during restart (you may machine)
  be different). Do not forget to copy on critical files before you implement a
  recovery, or one of the following options...
  b. you can contact your PC manufacturer and ask a set of Vista restore disks to
  as your system to its original state. There may be charges for
  This service.
  c. you can buy a new set of installation of Windows 7.

• How can I reformat the drive of the Satellite Pro A100?

  I have a Satellite Pro A 100, that my son has used for more than a year in College!
  There is so much junk on I think that a reformat would be the easiest option for erase everything.

  However, I can't find any way to do it. I tried the usual methods. Start, Control Panel, Admin etc, but the format option is always deleted.
  I even tried to run, using 'format C:', but was informed that the reader was already in use and could not be formatted.

  Suggestions, please.

  AND, I need a CD from Toshiba to replace all the files of Toshiba, or they are in another partition on the HARD drive?
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You need a CD of the OS or the Toshiba Recovery CD to format the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

  The Toshiba Recovery CD contains the image of Toshiba. It s a package which contains the OS, driver Toshiba, tools and additional software.

  I would recommend using the Toshiba restore for formatting and reinstallation CD.

  And the best is that you would not need to install the drivers because the Toshiba Recovery CD to install everything in one step!

• How can I change hard drive icon images?

  I have a strange problem that has just occurred in Windows 7.

  I have several hard drives internal and 1 external hard drive.  The external hard drive has always had its own unique icon and internal hard drives all have the same icon image.

  But somehow, the external drive now has an image of the icon of an internal hard drive, and my biggest drive, a HD 1.5 TB, shows the icon used previously by the external hard drive.

  I can't understand why this happened, or how to redefine the way it was.  Don't pose any problem of performance, its just confusing because I saw this image external drive so long I'll automatically for the picture if my computer or Explorer and now that means that I often select the wrong drive.

  I click on properties > customize and select change image folder, then select a hard drive icon I want for each player, but he never changes the icon.  And I'm pointing to an appropriate *.ico icon image file.

  Anyone has any ideas on this issue?

  Thank you.

  Move the Autorun.inf file and the Mxoicon6.ico file on your external hard drive, and restart the computer. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

• Satellite Pro A300D - How can I recover HARD drive?

  HI Newbie here.

  Put on the machine this morning and it just says: disk error - press DELETE Cnt, was talking to the guys at PC World and they say to restart, and then press F8 I have heaps of times, but I can't access the drive recovery partition.

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 with Home Prem Vista

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Hello Paul

  Well, are not good news but it shouldn't be a problem to solve this problem.

  You can go into advanced with F8 boot menu? If Yes, select Repair my computer and follow the instructions on the screen. All that s. So, you can use HARD drive recovery.

  If you can t go into the advanced boot menu you should use the Toshiba recovery disc. You burn it? You need to start only with her and Windows will be reinstalled.
  If you don t have the recovery disc, you can order one at Toshiba directly:

• How can I repair hard drive partitions?

  I have an external hard drive for backups formatted with Windows XP that I use now with my laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. Recently, my son plugged into his Apple PC and tried to create a partition to back up its files. Apparently this corrupted the table to partition. I can get is all data on the hard drive.

  I looked at the drive by using:

  1 Windows 7 disk management

  2. Acronis Disk Director 11

  3. EASEUS Partition Recovery (last version)

  4 partition Wizard 5.2

  Neither of them could do anything except delete or format partitions.

  The partitions on my external hard drive are still there, but Acronis Disk Director shows the following information:

  Disc 1 (TPG)

  CAPACITY OF FREE SPACE OF THE VOLUME TYPE FILE SYSTEM STATE

  EFI 200 MB FAT32 200 MB GPT basic health

  Local 232.9 GB GB 226,7 basic GPT volume not supported in health

  Unallocated 128 MB

  Local volume 232 GB GB 218,6 GPT of base not supported in health

  Local 619,9 MB GB 130.1 basic GPT volume not supported in health

  Is anyway to repair the partition table and possibly access data?

  Thank you!

  I can't run Chkdsk because the drive is not visible in Windows or DOS except in disk management and Device Manager.

  I decided to give up and just clean the disk and re - format.  Thanks for your efforts to help.

• How can I erase hard drive?

  Reinstall?

  The answer depends on whether you have a retail or generic OEM Windows XP CD or you have a computer where the system was created with a customized version of Windows XP with a backup stored in a restore partition.

  With a detail or generic OEM Windows XP CD, you get the option during the process of the instalation to format the drive. This erases the contents of the disc. With a customized version of Windows XP if you choose to restore the copy of Windows XP from the recovery partition, this deletes all files on the C (System) partition existing...

  If you want to erase all traces of files on a disk, you need to write data on the location where the deleted files on the disc. Put in shape then make all previous files unrecoverable by most users. There may be file recovery techniques that will stilll show what the drive previously contained but few will know how to play files in this situation.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• How can I use my drive hard thunderbolt from 8 TB to backup all my wireless devices?

  How can I configure my drive hard thunderbolt from 8 TB to back up all my devices using a Wi - Fi connection?

  What you might hope better would be to use a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter to connect to the router, but even if it works, it would be like a fire (Thunderbolt) connection to a water hose (Ethernet) is launching... and expect to get more water on the hose... more, the best that can be done without wire will be about half the speed of the Ethernet network.

  Sorry, this is no sense... a Thunderbolt drive is designed to connect directly to a Thunderbolt port on a computer, or in a Garland with other devices Thunderbolt.

  In other words, as soon as you break the chain of connection Thunderbolt, the speed drops to Ethernet or even low speed wireless.

• How can I update my Windows XP system on a larger hard drive and keep all my data and programs?

  New hard drive.

  I'm going to install a new hard drive of 250 GB. The old man has only 20 GB. I have Windows XP SP3 and my PC is a Dell Dimension 8100. How can I reset my new HD with all the programs, and what is the correct order?

  Use Clonezilla to copy the old drive to the new drive. Once complete, go into the bios and set to boot from the new drive and then save by pressing F10.

  Once you get to Windows, you can configure one or more partitions on the empty space of the new drive with disk management. In addition, you can now format your old drive if you wish.

  backup what option allows me to record the information of e-mail, my files and folders, settings of the computer basically everything but the system itself.

  I have a full factory CD/CD that includes an image of windows vista (hp system recovery discs) but that does not include my email info or the files and folders to restore

  or is it better to centre commercial simple backup windows separately and how can I do this?

  I don't want to lose my contacts and my email saved during the backup process.

• When I replaced a hard drive, I wanted the same drive letter, but he wants me to take another. How can I assign the drive letter, I replaced?

  When I replaced a hard drive, I wanted the same drive letter, but he wants me to take another. How can I assign the drive letter, that I replaced. The letter is now used by another device?

  Open disk management, find the drive using the drive letter you want to use, change the drive letter of this to 'Z', find the new drive, change the drive letter that you want, and then change the drive letter of the drive you have labeled it 'Z' to a drive letter of your taste.
