How can I remove USB drive safely when there is no icon 'remove hardware safely '?

Re HP Pavillion Notebook PC, Windows 8, 64-bit g7.   I want to be able to remove a USB without shutting down the computer.  There is no icon for "Remove hardware" as on other computers I have.  I was not able to find the program or its icon by using the 'search' or 'Find'  It is not indexed in the user guide.  Suggestions?

Use the method presented in the video.

  • How can I erase the drive hard when I can't read the screen of the monitor?

    I need to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp but I can not "cmd" promp because I can't read the monitor

    What do you mean that you can not read the monitor? Is the black screen or it seems weird when you start the operating system? And why do you need command prompt to reinstall an operating system?

    You need not be inside an operating system to reinstall.

    1. Insert the installation disc and turn on your computer
    2 watch it down or up for orders of F access the BIOS (usually F2) or the Startup Manager (usually F12)
    3 power on the system again, then press the button once Startup Manager as a couple at the time wherever you turn on the computer.
    4. Select the CD/DVD drive as the boot device
    5. a screen will come in saying to press a key to boot from CD (so press a key) and the installation will begin.

    If you don't have a Boot Manager, then you must start in the BIOS or Setup and move the CD/DVD drive up to make the first boot device.

  • 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 remove bit locker option from my hard drive?

    I have a password on one of my local hard drives using bit locker. now, I want to remove this password. How can I remove tht?

    Hi HaBiB JHoN,

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    Method 1
    The best way to remove BitLocker on windows 7 32-bit is to follow the following steps.
    a. click on start
    b. click Control Panel
    c. whereas the Control Panel, find the Bitlocker Drive Encryption icon, click on it
    d. here you will see all the partitions on your hard disk and their encryption status, whether encrypted or not.
    e. that is encrypted, you will find an option to turn off bitlocker. Click on it and wait for the machine to decrypt.

    Method 2
    To prevent losing access to drives protected by BitLocker in case of failure of the TPM secure, forgotten passwords or loss of smart cards or USB keys, it is important that you have a way for administrators to access to BitLocker drives. BitLocker supports the following methods to retrieve access to protected drives:

    a. recovery key or recovery password. You can use a BitLocker recovery password or a recovery key. If a BitLocker key is not available, as in the case of a missing SmartCard or forgotten user password, a 48-digit recovery password can be used to unlock the protected drive. In place of a password, a recovery key which has been stored in a file on a removable media such as a USB flash drive, can also be used to unlock the protected drive.

    b. backup key in Active Directory Domain Services. Password recovering BitLocker can be stored in Active Directory Domain Services. This allows administrators, such as the personal assistant of office help users retrieve drives protected by BitLocker when they have forgotten or misplaced their recovery password.

    c. data recovery agent. A data recovery agent is the person designated as a system administrator, who can use his administrative credentials to unlock BitLocker-protected drives. BitLocker is not configured with the default data recovery agents, neither data recovery agents are enabled by default. They must be enabled and configured by using Group Policy.

    How can I remove pop ups look bad when I turn on my computer

    Hi Semone31,

    ·         What is the full pop-up message?

    ·         You did changes to the computer before the show?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: I suggest you perform the clean boot and check.

    Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

     

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned at step 7 of the article mentioned above.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

     

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.
