• I want to save my email and then reinstall it after that I have to wipe the hard drive.

  I'll update the hard drive wiping and reloading the software I want, get rid of the junk that I have collected over the years. I backed up my data, photos and music from My Documents, etc. but I can't figure out how I can save my email so that when I reinstall Thunderbird I can just empty files saved in the program and I'm back in business. I'm sure that's not hard, but I don't know the meaning of "Computerese" I get lost in technical language. How can I do this?

  Thanks for your help.

  If you have saved your whole Documents & Settings (or 'Users' since Vista) then you have probably already what you need.

  Thunderbird stores your data and profile settings.

• I have a dell latitude 610 laptop that I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp pro and it does not have all the internet apps

  If you cannot access to the use of the internet, another computer and save the driver on a CD/DVD/card reader.

  Download network drivers for Internet

  Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model if they have drivers for your version of Windows. Download the driver and then follow the instructions to install.

• Need help to remove the hard drive from a Satellite Pro M10

  Hi, a good will would point me in the right direction. I am trying to remove the HD from a satellite pro M10.
  I discovered the net without success.

  A diagram with being usefully etc.

  kind regards J

  Hello

  I can't give you a diagram or something, but I can give an indication to take a look on the front left side of your machine. On this corner of the left side under the volume control is a small blanket where the HARD drive is in. You need only to unscrew the 2 screws that are accessible when you turn on your machine and and look at the bottom of your machine. Do you know what I mean?

  When you remove these 2 screws, you need to remove the HARD drive by taking some screwdriver flat-blade and paste between the disc cover and HARD case. Then carefully remove the cover of the HARD drive and you can recover the HARD drive with the cover and exchange it.

  Voila, your hard drive West. It s is not difficult at all.

  But if you still have some questions then request.

  External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

  I don't want Windows 7 at all so I'm ready to lose all data, so how can I do to remove it?

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
  clean install. A new installation by formatting the
  drive and does not care what version of Windows is installed (or
  even if any version of Windows is installed.

• Can't erase hard drive MacBook Pro - "could not disassemble the drive.

  I lost my original install discs Mountain Lion. Spin a MacBook Pro (2011 model).

  I found some articles that show you how to remove & reinstall everything without use of the physical disks. It is to restart my MacBook, pressing command-R, will using this toerase my hard drive and disk utilities

  However, when I try to wipe my drive, this error message appears: "erase disc failed with the error: failed to unmount disk.»

  I have attached a picture of the error that is displayed.

  On the left side of the utility window of disc (see attachment), there where hard disks are displayed, it shows the drive of 500 GB Toshiba MK. Directly below is the option "Macintosh HD."

  This error ONLY appears when I try to erase the disc from Toshiba. But this allowed me to erase the hard drive Macintosh option. Why is this? My drive was nonetheless erased? Or I still have to do something else?

  Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

• Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I need assistance with Windows.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
  I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

  So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
  I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
  Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

  Thank you for your help

  As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
  I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

  When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.
