• How do you format a hard drive with an operating system on it?

  This is actual a fairly simple question, I think compared to what should probably be asking. But on the idea of the recovery discs, I think it's what I excatly. If anything on the idea of format and replaced by reformat. The computer didn't come with any disks or news or have any information. But all CD/DVD discs recovery.

  In addition, when upgrading to this day, is losing usage characteristics. Options to other programs are losing as well. Or more hidden away from the use of the actual program.

  Trying to find info to format the hard drive is not very accurate. Contact support is usually meet with updates.

  Give something to work in the ideas of features/options elsewhere and others, disable or activate is just as accurate as to what it is with or against the options and features.

  Try to work with those who don't, with or without update seems to be best with reformatting later, with a format that is better placed within the use and what features work as installed.

  Help and Support is also in the lack of many topics and listed from the first installation. Online is the only other source of info otherwise. Updated information is the lack of fitness.

  Thus, on the idea of having to reformat, I would rather just format the drive.

  How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM? I tried many ways must my computer tells me I have to stop all programs that I have running. play help as soon as possible!

  Some PC contains a hidden hard disk restore partition. If yours is one of them, this is how you return your PC to its original state.

  What is the brand and model of your PC?

  Yet, this is a pretty drastic step. There is more easy and faster to improve performance. If you do not want to give it a shot, let us know. And also tell us the specifications of your PC, type of XP, SP, etc.

  Also, you might find follows her beneficial:

  Here are the usual causes of slow:

  1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

  http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

  3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

  To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

  Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

  http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
  http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

  Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

  If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

  Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

  4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

  The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

  http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

  5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

• How to determine which hard drive makes the rattling?

  Sometimes I hear the hard drive makes clicking, get 4 hard drives and would like to know how to determine who makes clicking sounds.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  Almost certainly an indication that a disc is a failure and should be
  replaced as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I get 4 hard drives and would like to know how to determine who makes clicking sounds.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  1. open the case and disconnect the power cables of all readers but
  C:, then run the computer for awhile. If we click, it is C: this is
  dying.

  2. then plug the power cable into a different drive and run it
  computer for a while. If you click on, it's that you reconnected
  who is dying.

  3, number 2 twice more if necessary to repeat.

• How can I move the internal hard drive containing the LR catalog to become external hard drive?

  I'm upgrading to a new computer.  With this approach, I took the hard drive 1 TB "internal" hard with my LR catalog and pictures from my old computer and hooked up as a hard drive on the new computer.   My next step is to load CC Lightroom on the internal drive of the new computer and remove the software from the old hard drive, which is now just a disk storage external photo. 

  Then, the tricky part where I need help.  How LR to recognize the existing catalog on what is now the external hard drive?

  Thank you

  As DJ says, double-click the catalog on the external hard drive.

  Or, in the menu of LR, / file/open/and navigate on the external drive.

  Whatever it is, after the opening of the catalog, you will need to go to the library, Panel folders module and 'find missing' on each top-level to tell LR you folders, move the folders on the external drive.

• Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

  I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

  While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

  So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

  TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

  Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

• Hard drive without an operating system.

  Madam, Sir,

  Good evening, because of a failure of disk on my laptop (Compaq), I had to change the hard drive.

  So I buy a hard drive, but it contains no operating system, and my computer asks a (more precisely, it requires vista or windiws installation cd 7)

  My pc has a little more than a year, to be precise, it has 1 year and 3 months.

  I wonder if you reinstall Windows Vista or 7, free or not, or if you sell installation cd and their price.

  Thank you for keep me to my email address or my phone number attached:

• Image vs cloning on the new HARD drive with an operating system already installed.

  First of all, I'm NOT tech savvy.  I apologize in advance.

  After several warnings error that my hard drive was in danger of failing, I was finally able to install a new HARD drive.  Windows has had some difficulty in installing Windows 7 to new HARD drive, but I finally found a solution.  So here's my current situation.

  I have the main drive (old) (C:\) which has Windows 7 and all my data on it (it is a Seagate 1 TB HARD drive that came installed on my Dell Studio XPS 8100).  I installed a new WD Black 1 TB HARD drive and was finally able to get Windows to download on it (it reads now like two distinct? score?) E:\ and F:\) see photo.

  

  Now, my question is this...

  I want to save all my data from my old HDD and put it on my new HARD drive.  One that I have this, I would like to remove the old Windows 7 HDD and use it as "extra" space

  Make a clone of the old HARD drive to the new since I have already installed the new Windows 7 HARD disk?

  Please advise and please keep in mind that I might say things correctly and I can't understand though if the answers are on my level.  I appreciate any help!

  OK, so here is what I would do to try to avoid problems of compatibility or driver, as far as I can:
  -Turn off your system completely and unplug from the power outlet wall
  -Disconnect the old drive in your system (SATA and power cables)
  -Place the new WD Black on the main port SATA (should be labeled SATA0)
  -Turn on your system and put your OS drive you can do a completely new installation of the operating system.
  S ' ensure that you have updated all the drivers and the operating system after the installation
  -Turn off your system and plug your old drive
  -Turn on the system in the BIOS and make sure the WD Black has the priority starting on the old HDD
  -Boot into the operating system and copy all data from the start of your old disk partition that you want to keep for the WD Black
  -Go to disk management and delete the old boot partitions and the old drive system
  -The old HDD should be your secondary drive now and you can freely move files between the two disks
  N ' have in mind that due to the new copy of the OS, you must reinstall all the games and programs in order to operate because of the new system registry

  This should put you on the safe side and prevent any compatibility issue or driver which is possible during a clone or restore procedure. :)

• don't know which hard drive to buy.

  I need to buy a new hard drive for my HP pavilion G62 series laptop! I know it must be a SATA 2.5 but I'm not sure one to buy! CAB someone suggest a HDD to get and which is compatible with my computer? Thanks in advance

  Tiffany

  Hey, Tiffany:

  You can buy any disk SATA II 2.5 "laptop hard for your laptop should not exceed 750 GB.

  You have two other options... a drive of 7 200 rpm or a disk of 5 400 rpm.

  Choose a drive of 7 200 rpm for optimum performance.

  Choose a disk of 5 400 rpm for longer battery life between charges.

  You didn't say what size drive came with your PC, so I don't know what you are looking to buy the size.

  Here are these two models for your comment...

  7 200 RPM, 320 GB

• How can I put a hard drive of the laptop into a desktop computer?

  I have a HP Pavilion 5000 ZV who died some time ago, and the hard drive is always good. It's 60 GB running Windows Xp. there I got the laptop from a friend because they did not want. Also I have a desktop IBM Aptivia since 1998 and it has a huge 8 GB HDD running windows 98. I want to put the laptop drive in the desktop and take out the old one. I would buy a new hard drive, but it's Microsoft Office 2003 pro. This is the only copy I have and I did re install the product key. I need this computer for my workshop. How to operate? Is there a part I need? If Yes, where can I get a?

  If I understand correctly, you have a laptop HP Pavilion ZV 5000 which doesn't work but has a 60 GB HDD that has installed Windows XP and Office 2003 is also installed.

  You want to put the laptop hard drive in an old desk.

  You have two problems: hardware and software.

  Hardware issues can probably be solved easily (you would need something like this $10--> http://tinyurl.com/d539pwf kit - but read the comments).

  The problem of software is that you can not take an existing installation of Windows XP and completely change the hardware.  If you try, you will need to do a reinstall of Windows before it will work.

  If you have a generic OEM XP install CD, you may be able to do a repair installation (save applications - for example Office 2003), but the CD must be at a same or later version of XP (Home, Pro) and Service Pack level as the version of XP that is installed.  You must also have the product key that is associated with the OEM install CD (I think that the key to the label on the HP will fail).

  More likely, you will need to do a clean install, which will involve formatting the drive.

  If you have the Office 2003 installation CD, you can retrieve its installation key from the drive of the laptop before installing it in the office.  Probably the best way to do this is to put the laptop in a hard drive enclosure external drive, which attach to a working computer and use of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder using his function to "Load hive".

• How to share a second hard drive with the residential group / network?

  Initially, I posted this to the security and privacy but we told him it should be under the sons of the network.  Here's hoping someone can help.

  I have a desktop computer and a laptop both running W7 Home Professional 64 bit.  On the desktop, I have 2 hard drives - C has programs, D has the data.  On the laptop, I'm just a hard drive.

  Each machine can see the other time under residential group and network.  From the Office I can access files that are on the laptop but I can't do the reverse.

  The laptop can see the desktop drive D and all folders that I shared, but when I try to dig into a folder I get a message saying I don't have permission to access the folder.  In this case, if I try to access using either homegroup or the network.

  On the desktop, when I look at the properties of the D drive it shows as a shared network drive.  Individual records within D show shared with permissions of read/write with anyone and/or homegroup.

  What did I do wrong (or failed to do) to allow me to access the files on the disk D of desktop from the laptop?

  Hello

  Step 1: Try to run the troubleshooter of shared folders and check.

  Step 2: Try to give permissions to specific user through which you are trying to access these files or folders.
