  You probably mean you want to re - install Windows.  How you do it depends of what laptop you have and whether you have any recovery/reinstallation CDs, but in any case, you do NOT start with "formatting" of the computer.

• Windows 7 don't recognize the existence of the second drive hard unformated. How can I format drive's system does not recognize that there is so I can format the drive to use for backup?

  The two HDD are identical, WD750GB. Cannot find how to format a drive unreconized in help.
  First HARD drive is SATA and using 64-bit format and want to use the same for the second.

  Run Disk Manager , format the drive and it assign a drive letter:

  1. press the Windows Logo + R , type diskmgmt.msc in the box, and then click OK .
  2. right click on the drive and click format .
  3 right-click the disk, and then click change drive letter and paths .

  I don't know what you mean by "using the 64 bit format".

• How can I download a recordable CD that has already a few files on it without the software you want to format the drive first!

  I was able to do this on my XP desktop but it crashed and now I use my 64 bit Vista laptop.  There must be a way that I don't see.

  Sorry, but your reply ignores the problem that is the threat to format the disk and erase the existing content if you download a file on this disk. Finally, I discovered that the solution was disguised by the ambiguity of the software.  If you choose "mastered" it of no problem even if the explanation of 'controlled' looks that would destroy the capacity of the disk to receive or delete files "under control" and future - only formats the drive before you download a file on it! Equal stupidity on my part and the author of the software.

  Hi Sunny,

  To better understand the issue, let me know what happens when you try to format the drive? You get the error message?

  This problem could occur if the files are hidden.

  Try the steps listed here and see if it helps:

  Method 1:
  We will check if there are all the hidden files in the player. To verify that the same as follows:

  a. open the drive that has the problem.

  b. click on the view tab.

  c. check "items Hidden."

  Check now if all the files or folders are appearing in the player.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to check if there are all the files in the drive through command prompt.

  a. press Windows Key + r

  b. type cmd and press enter.

  c. in the open prompt window, type the following commands one by one and press enter after each command.

  : (e.g. d :)

  dir

  d. This will show all the directories or folders in the drive.

  e. check for all the folders inside the car.

  Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an up-to-date report of the issue so that we can help you further.

  LAN installation is very easy.
  First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
  In order to download the LAN driver please visit the Toshiba driver page and choose your model of laptop.

  Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.
  Then you will need to access the Device Manager, choose the controller Ethernet (network cards) and must point to the place where the LAN driver was decompressed.

• Where can I get a copy of the Windows XP installation for my sister. His was a virus and I had to format the drive. It's a registered computer

  Where can I get a copy of the Windows XP installation for my sister. His was a virus and I had to format the drive. It's a registered computer. I have it ready for the operating system but I need to download a copy so I can retrieve my CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive, so I can then bring to its system and reinstall the XP and then if she wants that we can get a windows 8. I use windows 8 on this system, I bought a few months ago and it's satisfying, but I don't understand why when I got it I could do things like using the keyboard of the screen with my fingers, but now I can't even use the keyboard mouse. It won't work at all. In a way I found it better that way at the beginning because I do a lot of typing and it would freeze until I was constantly stressed. I returned to Windows 7 mode I think but not sure.  All I know is that these two things have never worked correctly, so if they are still under warranty I will bring to the Future Shop and maybe they can fix it. I wish I could turn on and off easily so it does not interfere with my writing and study of a language second.
