• My HP Photosmart C6100 has an internal hard drive?

  I'll give my HP Photosmart C6100 to my friend.  What should I do before I give it away (to be sure, almost)?

  (1) have an internal hard drive I need to erase data?

  (2) even if it doesn't have an internal hard drive, should I erase memories?  If so, how can I do it?

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  Hey IMA788,

  The Photosmart C6100 line series doesn't have an internal HARD drive to store printed information, etc..  However, there is information stored in the fax journal of the device such as phone numbers, etc.

  If you have not used the fax feature, then you wouldn't have the information stored in the log of faxes and would have nothing to fear.

  If you used the fax feature and want to remove this information, I then the steps to perform a full semi handed over to this printer.  I will send this information to you in a private message.  Please read Bob_Headrick wire on the printer reset, found here, before you perform these steps.

• PSC 750: elimination of printing, destroy the hard drive

  I have an old HP PSC 750 printer I have is going to be recycling and want to destroy the hard drive for security reasons.  Where is the hard drive and how I will destroy?

  Hello @Dotsie99, greetings!
  
  Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, HP experts and other support staff.

  I appreciate that you try to throw your old printer and worries about the security of the data.

  You don't need to worry about your printer HP PSC 750 with no any hard drive. None of the PSC series and none of the Photosmart printers that use two or more cartridges have a hard drive.

  The printer does not store the printed pages. So please go ahead and have the printer.

  Hope that answers your questions and have a nice day!

  See you soon

• HP Laserjet 1320: Printer hard drives

  Is about to recycle both HP printers for new ones.

  These printers have HP hard drives:

  HP Laserjet 1320

  HP Photosmart8250

  Thank you.

  The Photosmart 8250 and Laserjet 1320 contain not all hard disks.  Make sure that no media cards are left in the Photosmart 8250, these could contain images that you want to keep.

• My printer has an internal hard drive?

  I think I can guess, but I need to be sure before disposing of my old printer:

  My OfficeJet 635 has a hard drive inside that I have to wipe before you send it away?

  (suggestion: this issue hit the heyday of media this last fall.) It is encouraging that HP has a section of significant support on their Web site that addresses this issue, but it's too complicated for the Home Office. I don't have any big assessment or security implementation tools; I just need to know if there is a hard drive in my printer. A simple list printers with the answer (yes/no) because everyone would be enough. ;-)

  Thanks in advance.

  There is no hard drive in your Officejet 635.  With probably a few thousand printer models, there would be no such thing as a 'simple' list, but the following can help:

  • HP Officejet and Deskjet printers: none have hard drives.  Some do have photo cards slots, make sure that there is no card in the slot before getting rid of the printer.
  • HP Photosmart printers: most / all models have slots for photo cards, make sure that there is no card in the slots.  The units of Office sizes have no hard drives.  Some of the small portable units (which print 4 "x 6" and 5 "x 7") have hard drives.  Examples: Photosmart 475.

  The following are for the most part outside my area of expertise, while others may have more details:

  • HP Laserjet printers: some models have hard drives.  See the manual for more details.  I know the Laserjet, Laserjet + Laserjet II, Laserjet III, Laserjet 4, 4 M, 4L have no hard drives.
  • HP Designjet printers: some models have hard drives.  (I know the Designjet 430, 450, 650 c, 750 c have no hard drives).

• Hard drives with printers.

  I have a Photosmart 7510 multiple function printer. Is there a hard drive? If so, how can I 'clear' the reader?

  No there are not drives in your printer and no user data.

• Hard drive... do not print color

  It's Photosmart 7510e printer all-in-one. Windows 8 operating.

  This printer will print color when I select something from the hard drive. photos of e.i., etc. - only print in grayscale.

  But when I select something in Internet Explorer, a web page, it prints in color.

  Y at - it somewhere that I might of been lacking the levels of grayscale instead of color?

  Thank you

• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

• How to change back to SSD HARD drive?

  My mcbook pro comes with the original 500 GB of HARD drive. When he ran with a problem, I went to an apple repair shop. Problem was in the charts, and he suggested the HARD drive to be replaced by a 120 GB SDD. So it has been replaced, but the guy on the left HARD drive as a storage device. Moment where DDI is left with small space and when I update to OS X El Capitan of OS Sierra, it had to be installed in the HARD disk drive. Could someone please give instructions to install the new OS to the SDS to lose all my data and the current configuration and it is also possible to install windows XP on the HARD drive and 10.  Either by the way, I got Windows 10 and XP shared with the SDS via parallels. Thank you

  I think this can be useful for you:

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

• Seagate external hard drive / / no display

  Recently I bought a Portable Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my MacBook Air. I put all my movies, music, ext documents on my hard drive with my important homework. The reason why I did was reset my mac, then return all my old documents, photos ext, back to their place of origin. I have managed to do and frees a lot of space. A few days after my MacBook fell asleep with a connected external hard drive and now the hard drive is no longer present on the desktop or in finder. I am able to find in my "disk utility" , but for some reason, it shows the hard drive passed out faded gray and full? I tried to hook up with different cables and on the various devices as well. Also sang the first aid option in "disk utility" with no other results. I have contacted apple support and found out it was the external hard drive with the problem, so they couldn't help me. They then redirected me to Seagate Support, and I had already tried the methods they gave me (see list above). I was wondering if anyone here on communities of Apple has experienced the same problem as me, it would be that much appreciated advice you may have. I have important files that I need to recover.

  Help, please!

  Had a similar problem with external hard drive WD also on model MBA early 2015. Found if I disconnect the external hard drive restart MBA and then reconnect the external hard drive it was working normally again.

  Another thing I tried was still unplug HD plugin MBA on sector and re - a SMC.

• MacBook Pro not mounting external hard drive

  My Macbook Pro (early 2015, running Mac OS Sierra) is not able to mount my [new] external hard drive (Seagate Backup Slim). It shows up in disk utility, but the volume seems shady. Nothing happens by pressing the command mount or performing first aid. Kindly help me out here.

  Hi vishesh97,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

  We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.

  Allows because it is a new hard drive, try to clear the disc first and formatting for Mac OS extended (journaled). The instructions for this process are found in the article below:
