• I can restore a hard drive as a new

  is it possible to restored a disc hard as if it was out of the box (I read that you can install an os over a lifetime of hard drive)

  Hey Danny,

  What you read was not quite correct (and completely wrong if he says what you say it says).

  Assuming you have always the correct drivers and software product keys (if any), I can't imagine a situation where you cannot restore a HARD drive as if it was out of the box (except possibly need to use your product key personal rather than used by the manufacturer, when they made initial installation If you use an installation disk of geniune they provided {with a separate special disc drivers and additional software} rather than special discs supplied by the manufacturer to restore the conditions in factory or these disks you created a restore on the computer partition, or by using the restore partition directly where your unique product key is often but not always is usually not necessary).

  Considers Moreover, under the rules that you've read them, the computer could ever be updated to a new Service Pack, and even less from XP to Vista to W7 to W8 - or other (with restrictions based on how it's done, legally, regarding the upgrade paths and assuming that there is the appropriate drivers for the HARD disk under the new operating system).  It could not be changed from Windows to Linux.  Could not be partitioned to dual boot or startup sort even in different operating systems (which would make this feature a little stupid to have if the HARD drive could have only a single OS on it).

  And to go even further, if it really says what you wrote, you wouldn't even be able to re - install the OS at all since the resettlement would be more than one installation on the HARD drive so if your software system crashed or it became necessary to re - install the system, you will need to buy a new HARD drive to do and this is simply not the case.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM?

  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:

• I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space, but I find no windows.old file?

  I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space. but I find no windows.old file?

  The first installation failed because I had a copy of counterfeit Windows 7.

  I bought another copy and installed. Then, I got a horrible virus/worm that disabled all .exe files and the fix was just beyond me!

  I installed again but did not know that the previous facility where still there.

  I tried to clean the disc, but I don't me "from previous versions of windows" to clean.

  I find no windows.old file. (Enabled hidden files)

  Only I have a disc ssd 60gig and want the missing 35gig kindly returned to use.

  Can someone help?

  Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:

  Click Start

  Right click on computer

  Click on properties

  Click on advanced system settings

  Click on the System Protection

  Click on configure

  Adjust the amount of disk space allocated to system restore.

  In addition, the amount of RAM you have installed, it will take more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.

• I have restored my hard drive for time machine

  I have restored my hard drive of the machine after a malware infection, and now at startup, Finder opens the folder of DVD player. This does not seem to interfere with the normal operation of my computer, but I'm curious to know if anyone has had this happen. I use El Capitan 10.11.4 here's the finder window that opens at startup:

  

  You tried to delete the malware before you restore your system?  It is always better to do this first.  In addition, the backup that you used to restore your system before the malware infection has been took place?

  Edit: Go to system-> general Preferences.  Make sure that 'Close the windows when you exit an application' is checked.

  The HARD drive slot is placed at the bottom of the unit. You don't have to remove the screw holding the cover of the slot. Then, you can simply remove the HARD drive.

• I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

  I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

  Please advise...

  The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

  What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

  Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

  You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

  I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

  For the storage of the files it is fine.

  For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

  And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

  Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

• Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

  So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

  But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello!

  The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

  The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
  But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

  The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

  Good bye

  Hello

  Unfortunately this Toshiba device it unknown to me and I don t have found all documents on the replacement HARD drive.

  1.) under the disk HARD is placed at the bottom of the unit and you should only remove the cover of the HARD drive.
  Or

  2.) HARD drive is placed in the Notepad. In this case you will need to Remover the keyboard and some covers to replace the HARD drive

  Well, I can give you only that info. I think that if you want to know the detailed instructions, you should contact Toshiba service partner because it has a more detailed information on these cases.
