• How can I fix a corrupted file cmd.exe and what I do to format the hard drive will that solve my problem and then what I do

  One of my computers has a virus and I'm ready to reformat the drive if I know what to do when I try to go to the command prompt, I get the cmd.exe message is corrupt.

  You could try to copy the cmd.exe file from another XP computer to yours.  It is usually located in the C:\Windows\System32 directory. (Save your current file first, however)  Otherwise, try to start the command-line like this:
  Start-> Run-> "command."
  Note that this should appear "command.com" which is different from the "cmd.exe" (but looks like).

  If you try to reformat the drive to reinstall Windows, simply boot from your Windows XP installation disc and launch the installation.  A reformat is a normal step in a new installation of Windows.

• My Toshiba laptop error: No. Bootable device-insert boot disk and press any key.

  When I put the bootable disc in I lost all my data. Now the problem is that I have a disk of Home Premium Windows 7 64 bit with product key number. This drive doesn't have SP1 on it, and when I tried to load the disc the message was that he could not install this drive.  This hardware of computers may not support booting to this disk.  Make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the Bios of the computer.  (I don't have the original software provided with the purchased used laptop computer).

  I called Toshiba and they said I needed a new drive and it would install for $149.00. I did not pursue it.

  Is my question there a way to get a Microsoft update disc that includes the original as well as the Service Pak data? I see several option on the web site but do not know what I can do.  It seems to me that everything I need is the service pak but cannot load the original software. Is there something in the BIOS I can change?

  Or is there another solution without buying all new software.

  Your PC Toshiba laptop includes a manufacturer recovery partition, and unless you have screwed up the hard drive, it should still be there and accessible...

  That's how access you... For Toshiba, press and hold the "0" BEFORE and during power-up Need you options recovery and overall the machine back exactly as it was when you bought it first.

  Several updates and hours later, you would still have a working machine. After re-installing your programs preferred and your applications, you must use the data backups made to recover what you have done on the machine since...

  It takes a lot of time, but it all works.

  An alternative...

  You can download a Windows 7 ISO, Windows 7 downloads , create a boot from it and pure media install Windows. The only catch here is that you must be able to read the sticker COST on the machine, the version of Windows and the key code. Then you re - install your favorite programs and do data backup procedure as above.

  If you have no backups of data or copies elsewhere and your Windows does not start, you need to make the drive of the machine, connect to another and copy the important of her data files, then place the player to the original host, using one of the methods above to re - install Windows...

• Tecra R850 cuts the power to the HARD drive to the soft reboot

  Hello

  We have hundreds of these laptops and use the HARD drives encrypted in them.

  A soft reboot, they cause the HDD re - encrypt itself due to loss of power when you soft restart.
  Someone at - it a work around for this (parameters of the BIOS, the BIOS update) that won't cause this issue for us?
  I believe that we are currently on version 2 BIOS. "something"if it helps everything.

  Thanks in advance,

  The laptop turns off a moment during a warm reboot. An update of the BIOS will not change that.

  Maybe you should use Bitlocker.

• Can I use the HP Recovery partition after formatting and partitioning the rest of the hard drive?

  I recently had my HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) go kerput.  The Geek Squad said that the motherboard is dead.  I bought a laptop and I use this one for now, and I use the former dv4 as external hard drive.

  I intend to continue to use the hard drive from the old dv4 as an external unresolved for now, but I wish we could fix the dv4 at some point in the future.  Here's the problem: to get the most out of the former dv4 as external drive, I want to repartition it so that there is an NTFS partition and one HFS partition +.  This way I could easily use it with my Mac and Windows machines.

  But if I do that, I'm not sure if the image of HP recovery would continue to operate.  If it does not, then if/when I get the old dv4 a new motherboard, I couldn't restore the operating system from the recovery partition.  It is a problem, because I have not create recovery disks (stupid, I know - I'm definitely making them for the new machine).

  So, I want to do these two things:

  (1) create my dv4 recovery disks.  Can I do this if the dv4 drive is mounted in an external enclosure?

  (2) format and partition the drive dv4 (the leaving intact recovery partition) and later to recover the system from the recovery partition.  The recovery partition would continue to operate in these conditions?

  Thanks for any help that anyone is obtained.

  Hello:

  What you do to the C:\drive will make the ineffective recovery partition.

  You will not be able to create a set of recovery discs unless the drive is usable in Notepad.

  Can you still read all 25 characters of your product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop broken?

  If so, you can do this...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  Or, you can probably still order a set of recovery disc for your HP laptop.

• Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

  Hello

  I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  Hello

  1 do you have made no changes to software before this problem?

  2. you have the Windows 7 installation disc?

  3. what changes did you and have you been able to boot to the desktop after that?

  I also suggest you to try the other options of WINRE (Windows Recovery Environment) and check.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

  Method 2:

  I also suggest you to check the drive for errors that it can cause a Windows to boot.

  Follow this step to do the same thing:

  1. Click Start
  2. Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD-> click on "Run as Administrator"
  3. At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  Check a drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

  The issue can also occur if the boot device is not correctly defined in the BIOS. Make sure that the hard drive where Windows is installed is selected as first boot device.

  Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I seem to have accidentally deleted the data on the disk.

  Obviously the HARD drive recovery procedure is not possible now because the HARD drive recovery files have been deleted.

  I guess you have not created such recovery media as recommended in the user's manual.

  Well, in this case, you have a chance to order a missing middle of recovery and recover the laptop to factory condition.

  Means of recovery can be ordered here:
