• Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

  I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

  Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

  If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

  You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

  New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

  • \USERS\\Desktop\
  • \USERS\\Downloads\
  • \USERS\\Favorites\
  • \USERS\\Documents\
  • \USERS\\Music\
  • \USERS\\Pictures\
  • \USERS\\Videos\

  ... etc...

  Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

  My pdf file is too large to email.  How can I reduce the size of the file once the PDF file is saved?

  Emailing is not the best way to share PDF files, especially if they are large. Transfer to one of the free services such as Dropbox and send the URL of the file.

• I have a compaq presario sr19090uk desktop pc, and the motherboard was dead. :(

  I have a compaq presario sr19090uk desktop pc running windows 7 64-bit with a card mother micro-ATX (ASUS - A8M2N - LA / Nodus M-GL8E) Socket AM2, Anthlon 64 3500 + socket 939and the motherboard was dead. What is a good replacement that takes in charge a cd/dvd ide burner and sata hard drive for undeer £100. I have also 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM installed.

  Thank you

  Tony

  Here are the specifications of your Compaq Presario SR1909UK desktop and it is card mother A8M2N-(NodusM). There is a conflict in the two specifications for what CPU socket is actually used. The computer specifications claim a socket 939 CPU, while the motherboard plug State she has a socket AM2. You will need to examine your system to confirm what type of CPU and socket he did.

  It can be difficult to locate a market after motherboard that will meet your needs as AM2 socket 939 about 5 years to 8 years and are several obsolete generation. Check e - Bay or similar in your area for a replacement card which meets you the specifications. Please keep in mind is likely to replace the HP OEM Board on your computer Windows become a "non-genuine" and require the purchase of a new operating system. Note that the recovery discs you created will not be also usable on your computer.

• Recovering files of the T60 with a broken winXP installation

  Hello everyone, I'm saving the files from one especially deceased ThinkPad T60 Window XP. The T60 has a fingerprint reader, and I was crazy enough to put files in a secure volume.

  When I start Windows, it gets as far as the start screen and crashes then it with bike constantly the progress bar. I created a set of rescue & Recovery CD (actually two games, a serious on CD and a serious DVD) when I initially bought the laptop, but they do not contain the files I want to retrieve (that were created at a later date). When I try to run R & R starting at a set of disks, R & R software will open to the main screen, but in a few seconds (or at most a minute, but in no way I am able to actually use the diagnostic/recovery tools effectively) the system freezes up tight and will not even for CTRL-ALT-DELETE.

  I also tried to remove the SATA HDD and put it in an external USB box. The disc is recognized when it is connected to another computer, but I can't access the files because they are locked inside this secure volume.

  Finally, I also tried to start with a standard XP installation CD to see if running a chkdsk /r (after you select the repair option on the first screen) would help and get past the XP splash screen. Unfortunately, after loading all the drivers, etc., the recovery console Windows XP says it can't find all the disks to repair. I guess that's because there is no such thing as the secure volume for what is an OEM XP disk is.

  I guess I could try something with a Linux LiveCD or something, but because the files I want are locked inside a secure volume I don't know who's going to make me still to come.

  I have the administrative password WinXP wrote down, so if there is there a tool that will allow me to open my files using this password, I'm in good shape.

  Any ideas? I really want to recover these files. I don't like about installing XP itself, and in fact I intend to format the HARD drive and install OpenSuse as soon as I brought back my files.

  I managed to recover my files.

  I booted into Windows and press F8 to bring up the Safe Mode option (I thought I had already tried this before, but I guess I've forgotten). I had hoped once in Mode safe, I'd be able to pull the files off the SecureDrive.vol (mapped to drive R :), but I guess there are some drivers or services that don't load in Mode safe so that windows does not even see the a: drive at all.)

  But I was able to run a chkdsk/r, which took place during the next reboot. It took two tries to it (chkdsk froze the machine on the first run through), but chkdsk found and fixed a lot of errors and I was able to connect to Windows XP. I pulled all my files on a USB key, and literally within 30 seconds the system frozen solid again.

  Running the diagnostics of a Lenovo PC Doctor bootable CD, I discovered this fujitsu 100 GB drive is riddled with errors. So I might try some kind of low-level format to try to clean it up before installing a new copy of OpenSuse 11.2. Any recommendations for rehabilitation and repair in shape this drive?

• Qosmio F10 recover after replacing the motherboard

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my Qosmio F10 recovery. It won't boot from the CD, I get a message "media test check the cable failure".
  I tried everything I could find here on this issue without any results. Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.

  I got a new motherboard and CD/DVD player put some time ago.
  How can I make it work again?

  A.

  > Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.

  Who replaced the motherboard? THE ASP?

  Well, usually the recovery CD should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
  I presume that the parts have been replaced with exactly the same parts and so it should t be a conflict between the recovery and the new motherboard CD.

  Have you tried to boot from another bootable Win XP or Linux CD? Check it!

• Tecra M9 - can I access blocked HD password when the motherboard is dead?

  I dropped something heavy on the keyboard of my Tecra M9, which ruined the motherboard. I heard tell that I now can't access the data on my hard drive password protected (that is to say, it requires a password before starting upwards) because he needs the motherboard with which this password created. Can anyone say if this is indeed the case, and how to recover the data?

  Hello

  I think that you don t need the same motherboard in order to remove the HARD drive password.
  As Tom said, the HARD drive must be connected to the laptop that supports the BIOS where you can change or delete the HDD password.

  Here you can find a good post how to remove the known HARD drive password:

• Installed the latest important updates this morning; upon restart, the computer didn't work as expected. now behaves as if the motherboard is dead.

  This morning at appx. 1:30 AM PST, I installed the latest important updates from the Windows Update Manager on my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. I did manually, by a double click on the little icon in the toolbar and clicking on the button install. Once the update had completed, I clicked on the "restart later" button and close my computer using the Shut Down command - the usual symbol "click here to close and complete the installation" didn't appear. I thought it was a little weird, but chalked it up to the fact that I had taken the lead and made the installation.

  About an hour and a half later, after being able to get to sleep, I decided that I would try to do a job. I pressed the power button and my computer started well upward, giving me the ' now install, update (1/3) [percentage] completed. Do not turn off your computer. "message. Which is quite normal, let him do his thing without turning it off.

  The update is completed and I am greeted by my office. Displays the logon to Gmail Notifier window, and that's when my problems began: I tried to move the arrow to disappear, and the arrow has not moved. The circle of "transformation" had, next to the arrow, so I thought it must be a minor hiccup. I've waited, waited and waited... But even after all of my normal startup programs loaded, my mouse has failed.

  Pressing the Windows key to open the menu start does not work, either; It was as if everything had been disconnected. After waiting a few minutes, I decide that maybe I just need to restart and, given that my keyboard was not working, I pressed and held the power button until the system off (I know, I know, it's a horrible thing to do).

  I waited a minute, and then you press the power button. The lights came on, the fan spun, but the screen remains black as if I did nothing. I waited, because my computer arrived in the past tried to give me an attack of apoplexy by hanging several screens, but... nothing. The fan spun, the light shone their beautiful blue, but that's all.

  The only thing I have changed or done differently was the updates, I have not dropped my computer; I've not spilled something on or in I have a Targus chill mat that I use religiously. I download attachments from people I don't know no/trust (I can't, my antivirus program deletes attachments in emails from spam); I use Firefox with NoScript and anti-ad; My AV/Antispyware/malware program is always up to date and six types of awesome and more.

  My system is Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavilion dv6000. I have an AMD Turion 64 x 2 processor and a Nvidia mobile graphics card (I don't remember exactly who he is; I can't the specs). I don't have a DVD of restoration, for reasons that did not need explores right now. I had my phone on... Two years, I think. I'll have to double check.

  I can't start in safe mode, because I get nothing - no POST, no beeps, without bumps. The CD/DVD drive makes some noises, as he is looking for a drive (there isn't one in the drive), and that's it.

  I think I have to take someone and make them open and see what's the problem, but I appreciate any thoughts/ideas/opinions/assistance that anyone can give. Thank you for your time and attention.

  Alas, no, the screen seems to be fine. He had not been acting funny before that, in any case. I checked out, and the external monitor just went to sleep because there is no signal.

  Thanks for taking a peek anyway. I guess it's a workshop for me and my laptop.

• NEED to recover files from the xp computer that does not start.

  I changed startup on an old xp computer programs and now it does not start (I can accidentally put driver not run at startup). blue screen; STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8992528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) xp sp3 no safe mode without recovery does Center no disc. I just bought a computer to try to recover the information with win 7 but can not slave the drive to him because it is ide and the new computer is too modern. I need to save files are important on the xp computer is it possible to save them?

  I met this BSOD error several times, and the following fix usually (not always) allows the hard disk to be read by the system...

  -Boot your system and access the BIOS Setup
  -It will vary with different systems, but try to press "F2", "F10" or "delete".
  -If you need help with this step, let me know the model of the system, and I'll see what I can come up with
  -In the configuration of the BIOS, looking something like "Device Boot Configuration"
  -Go to the hard disk configuration and change the current option
  -Here are the most common options that I can think of:
  -SATA IDE, AHCI, (newer systems have more options, such as IRRT)
  -If the current option is "SATA", change it to "AHCI" or "IDE".
  -If the current option is 'DCIS', change it to "IDE", etc...

  It's just a quick run through a possible fix, without knowing the details of your system!  If you need more detailed help, I would like to know the details of the system, and we'll see what we can do!

• How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

  Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

  Hello sdf361,

  The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
  that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
  your programs since the original installation discs.

  If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

• recovering files to the new computer

  I transferred all my files + settings for a new portable hard drive (WD My Passport) from my old computer to Windows XP by using the "file transfer + Assistant settings". I try now to put them on my new 64-bit computer to Windows 7 using "Easy Transfer". They moved like a load of data files in a folder: ' USMT2. UNC'. I can't find any way to open these files! My computer tried to open them with Word Pad, but they read just like gibberish (ie the characters of nonsense). What can I do now? They contain the full backup of my old computer! Thank you, starsister

  It seems that you may have used the old transfer utility
