I am trying to access my hard drive for some records and my file photo in windows vista after it has been formatted.
My laptop after runing battery accident, I cannot restore and re-installed was the only solution, I thought I had backup all files, but my photo files is missing and an other files that were in my office. I need assistance to access the hard drive if possible, I said it can be done.
If you formatted the drive and reinstalled Vista, data is almost certainly lost to conventional methods of recovery...
You can try this program:
http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html
Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.
If the above does not resolve the problem, you will need to contact the Date recovery Experts.
Be warned: they are very $$$
See you soon.

my hard drive went out on me completely. reads as 0 bytes. lost everything on it. a system recovery will work on a cool new hard drive?
Yes, the recovery disks installing Vista and original software/drivers on a new hard drive. Just be sure to get a hard drive at least as large as the original capacity. It may be big, but not small ability more. I wouldn't go with one of the new large capacity hdd format advanced however.

Yes, you can reinstall Windows 7 OEM System Builder License on the new hard drive with the new processor.
It will not be a problem in this case, since you don't "move" installation, you are doing a new installation. The less it will take is activation of the phone, as you change the hard drive:

Hello!
I have an external HD that has been unplugued without eject by mistake. Since then, the HD is not recognized by the finder or disk utility.
When I list the disk in the Terminal, the drive is listed.
But when I tried to check or repair, a message appears: "failed to check this disc: a Partition GUID (GPT) partitioning schΘma Table is required (-69773).
I can access the files using programs such as Seagate File Recovery, but I want to extract data and repair the disk without using 3rd party software.
Is this possible?
If you have access to the files - a possibility would be to get the files off the disk and then reformat using disk utility

Update 24GB flash Cache hard drive for some other SSD acceleration
Hello Experts,
I plan to buy-
HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
-With
• 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive
• 24GB flash acceleration Cache hard driveWhat can I upgrade (/replace) 24GB flash Cache acceleration of the drive with some other SSD whose greater storage size on the line after a few days? for example 240GB Crucial SSD?
Thank you.
It's different. Any other animal. It looks like a wireless card. See below. What you could do with a standard 2.5-inch SSD is to replace the original main drive. If you could total of 240 concerts that would be OK. You will need to remove the disc from mSATA (aka WSSD) as it is useless in a WSSD Accelerator reader when you have a main SSD drive. I guess that I encourage you to wait and see how you like the stock configuration. The WSSD throttle control is very effective and can make even a 5400 RPM hard drive mechanics work almost as fast as an SSD.

I will replace an old 1 TB HHD by a new 1 TB SSD Samsung 850 EVO on my HP Envy 15 Touchsmart j122TX. I also have Acronis True Image 2015. How can I go on cloning of the HDD to the SSD and installing the SSD on my HP, implementation of the operating system in order to ensure a good performance? Please give me step by step instructions I'm inexperienced. Thank you for your support.
You need a bootable media because you cannot clone Windows player while it is in use. If you start another source (bootable support) leaving the main hard drive passive and quiet, so it can be copied sector to the new clean disk. I explained you start from the Acronis Disk and when the interface is in place you select "utility" and one of them is 'clone disk '. This is how you use the bootable disc in the cloning process.
As with the post before me you simply remove the MSSD. However, in this case the user would do a clean install. Cloning will be hover over the driver of storage for the SSD controller and will not have to load the RAID driver separately. The way you do it is much easier. I would like to dissociate the WSSD since the main hard drive using Intel Rapid Storage (disable acceleration), remove the WSSD and start-up of the former hard drive without the WSSD in place one or two times before cloning.

I plan to replace my current hard drive (which is functional, but not surprising in the first place) with a Solid State drive, which will help to my Alienware Area-51 m9750 notebook. I find a reader fully compatible solid state, but I'm not there purchase Alienware. I'm currently under Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), and I still have the recovery DVD used to reinstall the operating system. I reformatted my hard drive several times using this disc, each time that the deletion of the whole score and starting from scratch. Every time I did it, I'm never asked to activate my copy of windows, mysteriously turned on when I boot on my new install of Windows for the first time, without even plugging the cable Ethernet first, and my house has no wireless network.
I wonder, if/when I install a new hard drive, will have a different experience somehow in regards to Windows activation? I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows copy at all? Alternatively, my windows mysteriously will activate itself without ever seeing the internet as it does now?
I love installing Windows and then do not need to activate it, and I hope I have that experience when I install my new hard drive.
I just want to know what to expect in terms of my ability to use my copy of Vista OEM, and what process I have to go through to make it fully functional.
Thank you very much!

The physical hard disk (solid state or record) is not serious for the operating system that is installed on. As long as the drive is a standard interface and does not require special drivers not work (and most don't), you should have no problem.The recovery disks you are using are set to read specific information about the motherboard and as long as there is this particular information, that it is looking she will be triggered and doesn't have to go online to activate as the retail of Windows is required to do. The only problem with this type of activation, it's that if the motherboard fails ever it should be replaced with a similar brand and model or autonomous activation fails and the operating system is an OEM version that is related to this motherboard and cannot be enabled on a newer replacement. -
I have the product code - download vista to use my product code with?
How to get Vista recovery Media
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.
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

Driver for HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA - T20N WC05, Windows Vista Ultimate SP2
My DVD has disappeared from Windows Explorer. I had a similar problem last year and mounted my registry to remedy. This time the registry change has not solved the problem. I see the device in the Device Manager, but the driver needs to be updated. I can't find the driver anywhere. Anyone know where I can get it?
Shows Device Manager:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
Thank you in advance for your help!

As I suspected, after installing Windows updates, the DVD works now!
He did not work at first, after that reboot, so I uninstalled the DVD again, rebooted and no DVD has been recognised at all. So I thought the drive finally died. I put the laptop into hibernation and went to bed. When I looked this morning, he found the DVD and installed.
Thanks for your help!
