  • Pavilion m81897c: Advanced Format Drive

    My 8 year hard drive seems to have died. I love HP and particularly in this case and the mobo to work well for me, so I plan to replace my Vista 32 bit w / 64 bit W7 and install a 1 TB WD HD that has a warning on the label that it is a format disc advanced.  It means the Web of WD site for more information.  This whole process looks like defusing a bomb for me so any advice to avoid the traps will be appreciated!

    Webbww, welcome to the forum.

    Advanced Format drives don't work with old HP computers.  I suggest buying a standard SATA, 7200 RPM.  You can use disks to 6 Gbit/s because they are backward compatible.  Also, here is a good guide to help you to restore the system after replacing the drive.  It will help to defuse the bomb.

    Here are the upgrades are advised by Crucial memory for your computer.  You can try one of them to increase the performance of the SSD.  You will have to buy one at least 128 GB to work with recovery disks.

  • Impossible to reinstall format drive "C" for XP

    Told me to reinstall Windows XP on my pc to solve a problem of 'hijackware', but I can't get past formatting the C drive I get a message telling me "unable to format drive C as another is privatisation it" - or words to that effect - so, how can I get around this.

    My BIOS is set to 1) cd read

    (2) - hard drive

    (3) diskette

    ... then why can I do?

    Also, when I boot from the cd, it ends by takes me to the Windows XP Welcome screen and gives me 4 options i.e. install Windows XP - but when I click it I get a message saying "unable to install WXP this version of XP is older than your current installation" - what do I do now?

    I printed out the HOW TO do a clean install of WinXP and also steps to Clean install XP but cannot use them because I can't format the C drive, and when I boot from WINXP CD it askes me what I done said then I can't do it because it's an older version I am trying to load!

    I might have misunderstood the problem. Assuming you follow these instructions:

    (for SP2 or SP3)
    (or for older children)
    you're able to follow the guests, specifically:
    "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM...".
    Press 'ENTER' to begin the installation.
    When you see the license agreement, what happens when you press the F8 key?
    Some keyboards/PCs, you will need to press the following combination:
    Fn (or key LOCK) key + key F8
    It works (assuming that your keyboard has a Fn or a LOCK button F)?
    If 'all' key and the key of the entry but book the F8 key does not work, I think you should try a different keyboard.
