• How to activate the faults COMMITTED to an internal SATA hard drive, but not the other, on Vista Home Premium 32-bit?

  I have a set of 17-inch laptop 2008 which contains two hard drive bays internal, purchased in June.  It came with a single hard drive (traditional spinning disc).  It is running Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

  My SATA controller is an Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M family); I think it's a first-generation SATA controller (1.5 Gbps).

  I received recently a 160 GB Intel X - 25 M SSD (second generation SATA, but it is fully compatible with the first generation controllers, without additional or jumpers configuration) as a gift from my wife.  I removed my first hard drive completely, installed the SSD in the main Bay and installed Windows, drivers and the Intel SSD utility.  I then reinstalled my HDD original in the second span, completely wiped and reformatted it as a partition; It currently contains my music and other multimedia files.

  The utility Intel SSD tells me I should activate DIPM for my SSD as opposed to HIPM.  This seems to take a bit of tinkering to make Vista, and my situation is further complicated by the presence of my HARD drive (original) secondary, which prefer to use HIPM.

  I read the article on the Microsoft Web site on editing the registry to activate the misconduct, and it's something I would feel comfortable doing. However, I don't want my SSD to use DIPM, my HARD drive is expected to continue to use HIPM, and I was afraid that the proposed fix would allow the misconduct for all readers.

  Could someone let me know how I can activate DIPM for my SSD while continuing to use HIPM to my HARD drive, I'd be very grateful.

  EDIT: My Maintenance of SSD utility said simply that the State of the settings DIPM/HIPM "could not be determined." if Vista automatically selects the correct setting and the SSD utility does not just understand that, which makes my life a lot easier. but it would be nice to know for sure, so I can forget it all (if Vista already defined for me) or change the setting (if Vista did not automatically choose food appropriate for each disk management mode).

  You will need two SATA controllers: both on board or an edge and the other on PCI - E.

  Configure one who does not need TRIM/DIPM (do not use a SSD) as non-AHCI (compatible IDE/ATA-6) in the BIOS and the other (where TRIM/DIPM will be used) as AHCI.

  Connect the drive to which you DIPM AHCI controller. See http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f155/tip-how-enable-dipm-ssds-windows-120968.html for more information.

• How many PC can I install Windows 7 (full retail Version) on the use of the SAME LICENSE key.

  I know that is 3 PCs for Windows XP, and Vista is 2 or 3. Basically, I just want to know if it's always 3 since I have 2 desktops and a laptop I want to install it on. And no, I'm not to ask questions about the upgrade, I mean the FULL VERSION on the RETAIL OWN INSTALLER.

  Well, I installed Vista on 2 desktops at home and have installed XP on 3 desktops at home of the parents of my friends, all with the same CD key. So, apparently, you can use 1 cdkey more than once, but I expect to be able to use the 1 key on 3 machines I currently own. I wil definitely not buy 7 if I can't use it on more than one facility in my home...

  Looks like you were using Windows XP volume license distribution and a cracked disc of Windows Vista.

• How can I configure windows update in order to start the procedure, when I connect to the school network?

  OT:help configuration of Windows Update.

  I use windows 8, now my problem is that I have to enter a user_name and password each time you start the browser, if you close the browser, or open another browser, you must enter user password again once you use a wifi or lab computers. Now when I connect to wifi, my browser instantly request name username-password but windows update is not so. I tried this a few times, only once named windows update displays dialong box asking username and password and it takes hours to do.

  How can I configure windows update already if start update already when I connect to the school network.

  Wifi authentication which traverse the browser means that you still need to open a browser and a connection that first, before any other programs can access the network.

• I'm trying to remove reg clean pro from my window 7 but it said that the program is corup

  I'm trying to remove Reg clean pro, but I get a message telling me that this program is corrupt and will not remove

  I know this may sound stupid, but maybe try redownloading and installed, and THEN try to uninstall?

  If this fails, I would just delete the source files. I recommend Manager opening tack and arrival of all the processes that are associated with Reg Clean Pro first.
  Then find the file when the request is to (usually C:\Program Files (x 86) or C:\Program Files and delete the file and everything what it.)
  Once done, you have to go to the rear to remove programs and try uninstalling again. You should get something in the sense of "this application seems to already be uninstalled" and click on delete.
  If you need a cleaner alternative, I suggest CCleaner, an application very simple and easy to use registry cleaners internet AND temporary and the system cache of

• Can I install Windows 7 on another computer if the first installation on another computer has been deleted before activation?

  Here's my situation: I installed an oem version of Windows 7 on a computer, I've set up - downloaded all the updates. I have not activated yet. Now I changed my mind about the operating system I want to install on this computer. Because the software was not enabled can I remove and install in the future on another computer? Or Microsoft knows somehow I installed the operating system on a computer, even if I do not activate it.

  Only the activation records material signature in the Activation of MS servers to compare to reinstall or check the real.  What you have now is an installation not enabled with probable 30 days to activate.

  You are wise to wait to be sure because once the OEM version is activated in the EULA, it can be moved to another motherboard.  However since OEM became the only Windows 7 Home or Pro version available there are some reports of agents activating MS make exceptions to move with a good cause.  But this cannot count on.

• Install Windows 7 on Dell laptop, error "Setup could not create a new partition system or locate an existing partition.

  I had Windows Vista ultimate on my Dell Studio laptop which consisted of 3 partitions (OS, recovery and OME).

  In order to complete a clean install, I deleted all partitions and create a new 1 and formatted it, but I am informed that the installation was unable to create a new partition system or locate an existing partition.

  I tried in IDE and ACHI, but neither enable Sir to go beyond that. I am booting from the CD with Windows 7.  If someone is able to help, they explain in layman's terms, as I am a relative novice.

  Thank you

  As the drive was provided by Dell, you need to talk with them.

  The disc could be waiting to see the things that you have deleted.

  It can also be a type of completely different facility than the normal installation of Microsoft discs.

  You would have more than likely been OK if you would leave the formatting alone and partitoning.

• (brand new) hard drive 0 not found (Latitude D600)

  ======================================================

  I know this has been discussed a lot, but I have not found a solution.

  My laptop is a Dell Latitude D600, BIOS Version: A16

  My HARD drive died last week, he was making noises that I made backups.

  Of course, one morning I turned it on and it says '... ". hard drive 0 not found... »

  So I thought right we'll buy a new one, no big deal. In this case.

  But to my horror, the brand-spanking-new HARD drive made me exactly the same thing!

  Costs of the antistatic packaging, directly in the cradle, with tenderness.

  "First hard drive 0 not found '.

  No bootable devices - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

  Also, the BIOS reads my "main hard drive: ' as 'None '.

  I tried: -.

  -Replace (re-attachment for cradle clamp, tighten, etc..)

  -reset of the BIOS (pressing ALT - F)

  -internal 'HDD' isolation in the "boot order" (BIOS)

  -startup WinXP CD to format (says also that it cannot detect a HARD drive)

  -stroked and tweaked every possible BIOS setting

  -a ran the diagnostics (well Yes, tells me that it cannot find a HARD disk)

  -check the temperature (not a problem at all)

  I bought my D600 to opportunity without boot floppies or manuals, and private security has passed.

  I'll try to take out the battery for a day to see if that will be "flash BIOS" but I can't help you as (to my knowledge) the motherboard settings remain stored with the help of a small battery attached to the actual motherboard that would be inside the envelope, so I think it's a misunderstanding in another post on the forum , but I'll try it in desperation anyway. Next step would be to open the envelope and checking the IDE and remove the battery from the motherboard for 5-10 minutes.

  After that, my only option is to send to some local business PC repair. Ick.

  Any help will be VERY appreciated! Thank you.

• IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

  < re-titled by host >

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

  IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?

  What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

• Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

  I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.
