• How to FORMAT my hard drive with a RECOVERY PARTITION and my system restore from. BKF files

  History made as short as possible.

  I inherited a gateway with XP Media Center 2004. I transferred all my old files to the new computer, and it worked fine. I did a full backup of the system (.) BKF). Later, I installed a disc for my Vivitar camera I used before with my old system and my computer crashed.

  I tried everything I know to do a restore. F8, F10 and F11 during start-up and the best I could come up with was the safe MODE, but it would fail to any ENTRY.

  I really feel like the hard disk must be formatted and start over. I can not access the recovery partition and no XP CD was provided.

  My question is: How can I reformat the hard drive with a petition of recovery and reinstall my operating system of BKF files?

  If you have a recovery partition, I suggest you post in the forums of the bridge
  assistance.

• 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 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.
  Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Share-files-with-someone

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

• Get the HP G62 with empty HARD drive with a recovery disc

  I currently have a HP g62-a46se model.

  Due to some problems that I met, I removed the BONES together with the HP recovery Partition (I think because I don't know what happened) and everything else on the HARD drive so now the drive is completely empty. I made the backup drives but when I run them they say "this recovery media cannot be used on this PC.

  Pls Help. as I have no idea on how to restore the computer as long as the plant...

  If your number was referring to this warranty, then you have three ways to resolve this.

  Buy a HP recovery media or HP partner. This is the inexpensive way.

  The expensive is to buy a supported Microsoft Windows operating system installation disc.

  Install a free Linux distribution. He gets not any cheaper than this. Download and use for free.

• How to install a new hard drive and create recovery disks before installing the new drive?

  HP Pavilion Dv5 - 2077 cl/entertainment laptop
  Product #: WQ799UA #ABA
  Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello-

  So for a while now, I get a blue screen randomly, popping up all the time and some time, who is going to "clear my physical memory" or something and then restart after like 30 seconds. I posted in the forums, once it all started and support told me to run tests and finally told me that my hard drive has been the reason for these constant errors. Then I backed up everything, in anticipation of a real accident.

  I'm about to order a new hard drive from Newegg.com, and I would like to know if it is difficult to replace a hard drive in a laptop, or if I should have Geek Squad do it for $50. In addition, I don't think I have the disk for the operating system that came with my computer, how do I order that HP and how much is it?

  And, last but not least, is there a message or a video with instructions on how to install a hard drive and operating system?

  Here is the hard drive Im currently looking, if could let me also know if this would be my laptop and if it's a good idea that would be great:

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Yes, that's exactly what you do

  Kind regards

• Re: Satellite P300 - replacement HARD drive with no recovery discs

  Hi all

  I came to the conclusion that my HARD drive has failed. (PXE-E61error) now seeks to replace.

  Unfortunately I didn't create a recovery CD, and even if I did, my windows (label) key is unreadable.

  He comes, if I replace the HARD drive, to buy a new copy of windows, can I simply start from the CD, install windows on the new HARD disk, and then install the drivers from the Web from Toshiba site or what I need to buy recovery CD?

  Model - PSPCCA-05Y01Y

  I had to spend an hour or so scouring Google and the forum, but to no avail.

  Thanking you in advance for your help.

  Yes, you can do it. Install the version of Windows. All the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download from the Toshiba support page - http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/download

  This machine has been delivered with Vista, but I recommend you to install Win7. It works perfectly and very stable on this machine.

• How to stop an external hard drive with Windows 7

  I just bought a new ASUS laptop and when I plug my external Seagate USB drive to it, I can't "stop" it before I have to unplug the unit. I see nothing in any help that works.  There is not an icon in the status bar and it is not an "Eject" option when I click the icon in the window of the computer.   Any other way a stop device?

  The relevant icon in the system tray looks like a USB connection with a green top circle that has a white tick in it.  If you go over it, it will say "safely remove hardware and eject the media.  You click on this icon and it will offer you a list of removable devices to stop.  Click on the one you want to stop - it will then be a break & open a small temporary box when it is redy to be removed. [or it will say cannot withdraw because article use - a folder from Windows Explorer to the removable device can be opened for example.]

  - - - - - - -

  If it is not visible to the left of the bar icons then - State system is a small arrow pointing upward, if you point to it, then it will say "Show icons", click it.

  Then click on customize.

  In the list that is displayed, the I've been tryig to describe an icon will appear.  He'll say 'Windows explorer' and below it will say "safely remove hardware and eject the media.

  Select "Show icon & notifications" and it will always appear in your system tray.  Click OK at the bottom of the window.

• How do clone you a hard drive on a P6770T

  Background: I have a P6770T Office, number of product XX204AV #ABA, OS: Windows 7 Home 64 bit service pack 1.

  Partitions: C: 685 GB D: 12.7 GB (recovery), Q: 0GO (MS Office 2010 protected).

  Question: I would like to add a second hard drive to the PC as a clone.   First of all, a second internal hard drive can be added (is there a location for the drive and a SATA cable port)?    Second, how do clone you a hard drive with the three partitions, as described above?    I need instructions for cooking book style because I'm a newbee.      Thank you.

  It is usually best to make a clone with an external drive. It makes no sense given the power (spinning). Seagate and WD offer similar programs, called 'DiskWizard '.

  What you'll need:

  (1) software cloning (I'll link Seagate) download the utility and download from this page user's Guide.

  (2) buy a 1 t Seagate drive (like your hard drive is a nominal 750Go).

  more than you will need:

  (3) Sata Drive enclosure includes ESata rail.

• Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

  I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

  (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

  (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

  (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

  Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

  the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

  also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

  However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

  for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

  Good luck

  hope this helps to & help

  Happy holidays!

  No, at least not by us.

  Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
  laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

  There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
  and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
  sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

  But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
  are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

  For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
  lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the

• How to replace a bad IDE disk with a USB Flash drive system - and have all the functionality of XP Pro SP3

  How to replace a bad IDE disk with a USB Flash drive system - and have all the functionality of XP Pro SP3
  Given a PC without hard disk...
  How can you use a flash drive instead?
  So, indeed, the USB key works as an SSD...
  I saw online options that gives partial functionality of the system... and an option that is more than $100 (more than the system's worth)...
  None of these options are acceptable in the circumstances.
  It is an effort to create a machine for a particular use, built from a recycled pc for which hard drive was removed and destroyed by the original owner...
  The criterion is that it must work just like it was a mechanical drive running xp pro sp3 with all updates, etc...
  Thanks for any help.

  You can not install XP on a Flash as his unsupported drive. Your only two options are a traditional hard drive or Solid State Drive (SSD).

• Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

  Original title: startup problem

  I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

  Hi DougEisenmann,

  Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

  If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

• How can I migrate my Mozilla folder on a hard drive with it works?

  Hi, I used to love Mozilla Firefox but I stopped using it for a year, it is incredibly slow, you can't do anything! I don't know what to do. My hard drive has plenty of space, but I can not understand how to put my Mozilla folder in my hard drive with it noticing, help? I really can't manage google chrome more.

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  See:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/server+not+found
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/firewalls
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating

  You can also try a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.
