• HP mini 110 cannot use recovery discs - BIOS insists the hard drive test failed. Drive works on another computer.

  My niece has a HP mini 110 that does not have a day. Do a check of the hard drive in the bios, it failed (7 on playback). I though I should get a new one so I ordered another. While waiting for that to happen, I had access to a usb SATA bridge and the opperating system was beyond repair and the unreadable disk from HP mini, I decided to try to repair the disk. So I reformatted the old disk using my desktop computer. Windows had no problem with the drive and it seems to work very well.

  I also had to order the recovery disks (intro to windows 7).

  In any case try to reinstall using the recovery via the DVD USB drive disks. It kept coming back with error 17 - I found a hard drive error. I also tried to install with a Windows XP installation disc and it was more explicit hard drive it said it had NOT installed it - or "it does not match the sheet material for unity" (or words to that effect)

  To get the new hard drive - the same problem. Even if both of these drives operate as USB connected to my main desktop drives. SO my conclusion is that the BIOS start inspect the hard drive, check the configuration of the formatting. that is the size and the partitions etc. and when they do not correspond to the idea of BIOS of good care he rejects the hard drive and finds it is not installed.  Or maybe to do some files on the hard drive of base. Whatever it is, the bios concludes that there is no hard drive and will always return a "failed" to the hard drive of the bios test.

  Any ideas on that? I need to know exactly which partitions are expected by the bios. Does anyone have these specs, or maybe you have a mini HP and can examine your hard disk and tell me the amounts of partition and the size?

  Unless I can get the bios to recognize the hard drive, I don't see how I can reinstall the operating system on it. Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  HI David

  Well, I hope this is my last post here. I had already printed a return address for the recovery disks, being returned to the Netherlands. Just for the beggar of cast iron, however, I decided to try just once more would like to think that now that there is a kind of operating system on the hard drive it might work. But unfortunately still; no joy.

  All this time I would be considered may not be something wrong with the external hard drive because it was no problem to start the installation of XP. So I was just wondering maybe it does not receive enough power (it is a slimline portable DVD player that gets its power from a second usb) so I made a DVD player external adhock using an IDE hard drive enclosure (which has its own power supply and an old internal DVD burner I had put aside.

  To my surprise and joy; the HP mini started the recovery process. I am now watching reformat the windows partition and copy the files needed to restore the hard disk.

  So anyone with a similar problem to the HP mini not recognize the recovery disks is my advice; try an another external DVD drive, preferably one with its own supply of.

  Thanks for all your help and patience David.

• On some Web sites, controls do not seem to work. When I click on 'next' nothing happens.

  At least two different sites... so far when I meet a control such as 'Next' nothing happens when I click on this control. On one site, Newsday.com, which is a newspaper, they show top stories and under the chassis there are arrows, ">" and "<" to see the next or previous history. These don't work at all.
  I noticed that the default setting for my extensions and modules came from Java programs disabled. Could be the problem?

  Thanks for the info. In fact, I think I found my problem. On the content/Java tab, I hit the button advanced and there are three options. One of them is to disable the menu content. I unchecked and it seems to work now. Thanks again for responding.

• Tri matrix does not seem to work on an array of paths when it comes of &lt; not a path &gt;

  See the simple VI attached with default values.  I use 2011 sp1.  Is someone using a later version of the LV that behaves differently?  Did I miss something sensible that dictates what s should be stuck in the same position in the sorted table?  Even stranger, when I add a different path empty at the end of the table, they begin to sort (sort of).

  Insight would be helpful.

  It seems to behave properly in LV2012.

• How can I add a tab App when my laptop is not an option to control-click?

  In order to add a tab app, the news site said right click/Control-click on the tab, which opens a menu, from which you can designate it as a tab app. However, on my Mac, there is no control-click/right click I can find - so I can't do the app tabs. Is there another way to get around this? Is there another way to make tabs of the app? Am I missing something?

• When I bought my computer idid not receive a vista instead disc they gave me three recovery disc, I want to make my own vista disc to repair or reinstall my own vista program

  When I bought my computer with vista as my windows operating program.                  I want to get a vista disk to repair or reinstall vista instead of the disk three gave me or just sent me my own vista disc

  Microsoft sends NO Vista DVD.

  You already have the manufacturer's recovery disks.
  Recovery disc reinstall Vista and your computer about how you bought.

  You will need to contact your computer manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition on your hard drive.

  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  Recovery discs are made from the recovery Partition, OR provided by the manufacturer, as in your case!

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Here is some general info recovery options.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• Satellite L300-1AQ - how much of the necessary recovery discs?

  Dear all

  I would like to know how many drives recovery requires my laptop L300-1AQ (model number PSLB8E).

  I have a disc I made when I bought the computer but I can't start using up to this I make sure that only the disk is necessary (if more than one disk is needed and I begin the process of recovery, I believe that I have will make the computer unusable). I know that recent Toshibas are delivered with several DVDs so it certainly worth my checking before doing anything.

  Oh and the recovery partition is gone due to an 'aggressive' installation of linux, so this isn't an option for us (it's the new user is a windows user).

  I cannot find this information on the internet or in the manual, so I would be grateful if anyone out there has this information.

  Best wishes to all

  Hi DiodePrridge51b,

  Possibly 1 drive only Toshiba recovery disc creator, you need only 1 recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  It s, always according to the model laptop and OS how many records you need, but if only 1 disc was required there s enough and begin the installation of recovery. :)

• How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc

  How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc? With the recovery in the drive disk when I do a reboot or stop and start it does not read anything from the DVD player. My computer is a HP TouchSmart 23-D160QD.

  @AirForce9731,

  You may need to change the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first.  The steps to do this are in the document below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

  These are recovery disks made by the recovery discs sent by HP?  They will not work in a different system (you will receive an error message), but you are able to get the boot floppies in a different system?  They should be able to start up to a point where the error message will be displayed.

• Recovery disc does not work after the failure of the system.

  Hello world

  I got an error yesterday while booting which says "not found no startup disk." I disconnected and restarted at a black screen. I panicked. I got out my hard drive and made sure it is properly connected, and it was.

  I decided to try to see if it was the operating system that crashed. I put my original recovery disks in the computer. Here are the ones I made when I bought the computer new in box Office Depot. I put the discs and the message "loading of system files", said. I thought I was home free. And then the error is come that indicates the serial number not recognized? Can someone tell me what I should do to fix this problem?

  After that I got the message. I turned the power to the computer is turned off again and put the disc in and nothing but a black screen. I used the recovery disc once before when the computer has a virus so I know they work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  Seems to me that it is a corruption with the hard drive.   Check if you can access the SafeMode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  You can try a system restore by using the F8 key. http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html

  Black screen problems are usually not repairable, because it might be a corruption with hard drive. And what about drive recovery, you might receive this error message because the drive is damaged. It would be good if you contact your manufacturer immediately.

• create the VISTA recovery disc

  A friend set more than his HP Pavilion dv6226us running VISTA laptop.  The hard drive was full and the machine could not be used for anything else.  Keep wiping the dirve and start over, but there's a VISTA disk recovery for the machine.  The D: partition where HP backup files has been deleted from disk Recovery manager is not an option.  Check the HP support site and there is no the recovery disc for HP for this laptop model with VISTA, at least when I entered all the information on the site it does not list anything.

  Is there anything that can be done by copying the correct files in the WINDOWS directory on drive C.

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  laptop is a Sony VGN-NW150J

  Hello Lobyone,

  As a recovery disk came with the product, you should have a recovery Partition.

  Recovery discs are made from the recovery partition, not of your working version of Vista.

  Ask Sony how the recovery disc for your system.

  In addition, if you want to reinstall Vista, back to the way you bought it, ask Sony to the key sequence to use to start the recovery process this recovery hard disk Partition.

  But that wipes everything.

  Vista operating system is still working, see if you can borrow a DVD of Vista from Microsoft (NOT a Recovery DVD Sony), a friend, etc. and do a repair upgrade Installation.

  Here's how this repair:
