HP Pavilion 14-AL061TX: appeared suddenly from a Local drive Z

Hello

I have no idea of what happened, a local drive Z suddenly appeared. I asked the HP Chat Support, they helped me to hide this local drive Z but it auto appeared again.

What is the local drive Z? Is it ok if I leave it just in my notebook? Or is there a way to get rid of it?

Waiting for yr reply soon! Thank you!

Best regards

Jerica

Don't worry on this issue but if it's to drive you nuts of OCD:

  • I have lost my original photos from my local drive if I optimized my iCloud library?

    I moved my photo (900 GB) library on an external drive. The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos. I'm afraid of losing my originals from my local drive. Optimization of my library will erase my originals from my local computer? I have to delete my old library in iCloud that has already gone through the pain staking the download process (759GB) in order to reuse my iCloud? I try to avoid to keep my computer another 3 months. Simply cross ICloud cannot check the new library with my iCloud library and move on. How can I start again using my iCloud? Please give me some advice or assistance. Thank you

    The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos.

    What is your external drive only has 1 TB of storage?  You have found the warning because the 900 GB in iCloud and the size of your current library on the external hard drive will not fit on the disc. If you have a disc, use a drive twice the size of your library of Photos, so you will not miss storage in the years to come. Any drive that you use with pictures must have Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system.

    iCloud library does not know, the pictures are identical. It will download all the photos in the library moved to iCloud and check if they are duplicates. And it only allows you to introduce you, if you use 'Optimize', if the combined size of the photos in iCloud and on your Mac is larger than the available storage.

    And Yes, the "optimize" option can cause some originals will be deleted. It is completely dynamic.  You can turn this option off again directly after that you turned the library on the external drive as your iCloud photo library for re-download all original, and before Photos was able to start optimization. Do it only if you are sure, the library will fit.

    If you do not all projects in your photo library and did not use the function "Faces" and has invested a lot of work by naming the faces, you could simply start with an empty library on your external drive and let the photos to download icloud to the empty library. It will be faster to download again and the merger of the library moved in your library to iCloud. The only downside, the tags of faces will be missing and your books and other projects. If you need to keep a backup copy of the library has moved.

  • Cannot load the XML from the local drive

    I created a flex project located on our local disk:

    The flash file is located in:
    G:\Demo\main.swf

    G:\Demo\data\info. XML

    I built a web browser into an application that points to G:\Demo\main.html
    It works fine for me but returns an error on any of the other computers.

    My XP pRO features I have a GIG of Ram please help any body

    In addition to what said Gerry, I would do this:

    Because the Microsoft Answers forum doesn't want any kind of information system when a new question is asked, we know almost nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    We know that you have XP Pro and 1 GB of RAM.  It's not enough information.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:


    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your Internet browser and version?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Your system seems to start OK and then crash or didn't he start not at all?
    Can you make the system crash when you want?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).

    The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
    Now provide more information about your system and data against more recent accidents.
    Click Start, run and enter in the box:
    Msinfo32
    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.
    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.
    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.
    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
    Download BlueScreenView here:
    Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
    If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
    BlueScreenView tries to find the right driver or module that caused the blue screen by looking inside the stack of the accident. However, be aware that the driver detection mechanism is not 100% reliable, and you should also look in the lower pane, that display all drivers/modules found in the stack.

    Sometimes BlueScreenView will involve XP files as being the cause of the accident (ntoskrl.exe, win32k.sys, hal.dll etc.) but they are probably not the real cause of the accident (BSV is doing the best he can).

    You will need to either pick up some example crashes over and look through them, or find somewhere the XP files are not the 'cause' or you can upload your files to your SkyDrive crash dump and someone with the windows debugging tools can help take a look at them more closely.

    Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files.  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).
    Click on file, save selected items and save information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt.

    Open BSOD.txt with a text editor Notepad, WordPad, etc.), select all (Ctrl-A), copy all the text in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and paste the text to the Clipboard (Ctrl-V) back here in your next reply.

    Here's an example of report ASB to a single BSOD I initiated on purpose that indicates the cause of the accident as the pilot i8042prt.sys belonging to Microsoft Corporation:

    Send information BleuScreenView of 5 last memory dumps (if you have 5 dumps memory yet, send the most recent, you).
    While you wait, please follow these steps:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

    It is sometimes easier just to download the memory dump files since your last breaks down on your SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).   So can someone who already has Windows debugging tools to look at things and understand what is happening.

    Dump memory of recent crashes and BSOD files are usually in this folder:

    c:\windows\minidump

    The files will be named something like this:

    Mini120311 - 01.dmp

    You need to download the latest... maybe 5-10 of the most recent crash dump files should be sufficient if you who have a lot.  If you do not have that much, send what you have.

    Getting started with SkyDrive:
    http://explore.live.com/SkyDrive-get-started

    Once you get your downloaded files and watch them on your SkyDrive, you need to 'share' your folders/files so that others can see them.

    Here is a link that tells you how to:
    http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-SkyDrive-change-access-permissions-FAQ

    Then click on the button "insert a link".  When you click on that, a window opens that contains the link to your SkyDrive files.

    Copy the contents of the box "copy this link to share:" in selecting the content of the link (it will be all highlighted), press Ctrl + C (copy) and then come back to the forum and in your next message, press Ctrl + V to paste the contents of the link back here.

    What you paste the return will look something like this link on my SkyDrive:

  • CPT 9: Zoom Destination appears suddenly

    Hi all

    I use Captivate 9 version 9.0.1.320 on Windows 7.

    My question is maybe really stupid and sorry for that.

    I added a zoom area on a slide of my demo Simulation.

    I want the Zoom Destination to appear and gradually zoom in. For the moment, the Zoom Destination appears rather abruptly even thought, I played with the timings of the Source of Zoom and Zoom Destination.

    On top that the effects seem to be grayed out when trying to solve this problem by adding the effect floating about to Destination of Zoom .

    What I am doing wrong?

    Kind regards
    Iasmi

    Could upgrade you to version 9.0.2? I checked on your version, but there is a new patch released.

    Normally the zoom area object does not appear suddenly but takes time, that you can adjust in the synchronization properties.  Default installation appears at 0 seconds and zoom time = 1.5 seconds. Maybe you could post a screenshot of the chronology, is perhaps another point stopping somewhere? How did you test? Try to preview in the browser or HTML in the browser (F12 of F11) If you are on a normal life, not a sensitive project.

    Given that it is a simulation of demo, just a question: have you tried the video demo (cpvc) instead of the simulation of the demo? He has a much better way of zoom and pan with better quality than the subject of (old) Zoom in cptx projects.

    You can create a custom zoom effect, using the scale effects and motion together on an image of the area will be enlarged.

  • Pavilion a6500f: can I use my old hard drive as a second drive to the new I install.

    I have a Pavilion a6500f I can access is no longer as he continues to tell me there are registry errors.  My recovery disk (I got a) or do a hard reset or else he will start.  It came with a window that says recovery system or start Windows normally.  I get a new hard drive to it and have a whole new Windows 7 installed.  The thing is that I don't want to lose all my stuff on the old hard drive.  So my question is can I install the OLD hard drive as a second drive to the new?  If I can then I can just copy all the files from the old drive to the new and use the old as a memory drive.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    The simple answer is Yes.

    (1) I would like to replace the hard drive with the same drive size or larger. But does not exceed 2 T.

    (2) I hope you made the original recovery DVD set the original recovery firstly, DVD media DVD + R try as these will save you having to create a driver disk.  If you really have to buy a complete set of recovery, get it here. It will have all the necessary drivers.  Only $27.00

    (3) I copy the files and destroy the old disk. Its usefulness is damaged since 2008.

  • DV7 - 7333cl: how to extract usable data from a bad drive using 22 pins adapter usb to SATA on the new HD

    Greetings HP Forum,

    Recently, I replaced a bad hard drive on my laptop. I need now step by step procedure to extract usable data from the wrong drive using 22 pins adapter usb to SATA on the new HD.

    NOTE: I can't not all data that especially if some of the software downloaded on the replaced disk can be altered. Should I first download Internet Antivirus to protect my new hard drive? I'm not an expert, or even close to this when you work on the back of the laptop, so I'll have to step by step how to download and to partition the data recoverable and software, etc..

    Thanks in advance for your help... I greatly appreciate it!

    See you soon!

    Wes

    It is not complex. Attach the drive to the adapter and connect it to any other computer with good antivirus and antispyware installed. I use Malwarebytes and Avast. When you connect the adapter with the drive connected to the usb port, the drive will appear and it will be assigned a letter maybe E:\ or F:\ or something else. Immediately, he analyzes with the antivirus and anti-spyware. Quarantine or delete any virus or malware it finds. Then, it's just a matter of navigate the disk and copy and paste the contents of the host computer in a directory for this purpose. Obviously, you can copy from documents word, photos, music files, but you cannot copy the applications like Microsoft Word, iTunes. Photoshop.  You may need to take ownership of the files on the old hard drive, but Windows will guide you through this. Don't know what else I can answer.

  • Satellite M30X-129: recovery CD can be run from an external drive?

    My wifi seems to have packed - recognizes nearby wireless networks but does not connect to them - so I will try to use the recovery disk product in the hope that it will bring back wifi.

    However, the DVD Multi drive does not work - light flashes to indicate some sort of activity, but no drive appears in my computer. I think that if I buy the external drive, I can run the product recovery disc for this.
    Is the drive Toshiba external DVD SuperMulti (PA3454U-1DV2) compatible with the Satellite M30X - 129 P - M 735? Product recovery can be run from an external drive (bootable?)?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    According to this page of Toshiba, the drive is compatible with your device:
    e http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/options_and_accessories_search_by_model.jsp?servic = 1 = us & selSeries & selFamily = 2326 & SelCategorie = 2319 & family = 2326 & selP roduct = 98795

    The fact is that only the boot device options available: USB-drive floppy/disk HARD/ODD/LAN
    I know you can only boot from external CD/DVD drive if the device supports this option and the unit.
    In my opinion be100% sure you should ask ASP for advice.

    But know one other question: do you have you boot from the restore CD to recover the operating system?
    If you want to recover the operating system, you have to start on this CD and do not run it under Windows. Check it out

  • Satellite 5100 503: unable to boot from the CD drive

    Hey all,.

    I have a HUGE problem with my 5100-503 Satellite.

    Windows XP connects and then it disconnects right away.

    I found a fix for this at: [url] http://www.mcse.ms/message616432.html {/ url}

    The problem is that I can not boot from a cd, because the BIOS is configured to boot from the hard drive first.

    I get into the BIOS. I read on a few websites on the net than on machines 5xxx Satellite, you can only enter the bios through windows! ..., BUT windows does not work so I can't enter the bios. I can't even use the Windows installation CD when I boot, because once again the HD is set to boot first.

    When I press ESC while turning on the laptop and then press F1, I have the option load default BIOS values. I did, but the HD is still set to start first!

    What I can do... I can't reinstall windows or get into regedit to fix the paper / log problem!

    Help!

    Hi Jamie,

    Normally, you can select a boot device selection menu when you turn on your laptop. You can do this by holding down the F12 key when you turn on. Hold it down until the phone beeps or the device selection menu appears.

    If this does not work then you can try the shortened Toshiba habit that is to hold the 'C' button in the power that would then cause the laptop to boot from the CD drive. Of course, there must be a bootable CD inserted first.

    Kind regards
