• Removed the HARD disk with MBR/BCD who installed Vista x 64 Business on the new HARD drive

  I have vista x 64 business installed on a HARD drive, but it was (and still is) installed on an older HDD aswell and the smallest, the result being that when I removed the old hard drive to put in another computer, I was unable to boot the copy of vista on the new HARD disk as the MBR or the BCD bit that allows me to choose what vista start is on the old HDD. Using the installation DVD I can get up the command prompt and run Bootrec.exe without the old HARD disk installed, which can find the vista installation, but fails to solve the problem. I'm not an expert so I can't properly use Bootrec.exe, and startup recovery also does not work, although it seems to say that something to do with the startup has been fixed. Is it possible that I can get the computer running without the old HDD without having to reinstall vista on the new hard drive? Currently, I put the old HARD return drive to start the new installation of vista.

  When you move an old hard drive to a new computer, the installed operating system will find new hardware (motherboard, etc.).

  A clean install is a normal requirement, as no drivers are installed for the new hardware on the operating system.
  Thus, it will not start.

  How to do a clean install:

  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

• Z400 disks with EFI partition not mounting after the Windows 7 Pro upgrade

  HP z400: after a repair/upgrade to sp1 of Windows 7 Pro (64), no matter what external disk with an EFI partition is not installed.  Player will be present in the BIOS and the management of drive, but without a letter. Cannot assign a drive letter.  All other discs mount correctly.  Disks with EFI partition will mount on other PCs.  All the drivers seem to be current and fuctional.

  I thought about it... after two weeks of puzzle, I finally found the cause.

  I run MacDrive 8 so I can play discs with HFS + formatting.  This program should be completely uninstalled and reinstalled after the upgrade.  I had turned it off before the upgrade, but it takes more than that.  Everything works now as expected.

  But wouldn't be INCE if Windows reads discs mac natively?

• Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

  Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

  Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

  They read these messages?

  Hey Buddy

  I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

  The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

  The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
  You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
  In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

  There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

• Failure SMART hard disk with Satellite M30X

  A problem with my hard drive has suddenly popped up. Whenever I try to start the computer, the following message appears:
  SMART failure provided on hard disk 0: toshiba mk6025GAS-(PM) WARNING: immediately back up your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent, press f1 to continue...

  When I press f1 it just shows the window of windows xp with a black background and stays like that.

  So, today, that I inserted dvd products recovery, which took about 3 hours to restart. Once this is done, I could go to the windows menu start and tried checking errors c drive of my computer. To be able to do that I had to reboot the computer.

  When the computer has restarted the same error message above SMART failure predicted etc. had sprung up again. After pressing f1 computer started chkdsk. When he reached 4/5 which was chkdsk varifying data file he said a cluster of file message replaced 5518 name pagerfile/sys and just froze.

  I manually restarted the computer and when I went at the start menu windows an other error message pops up saying: windows could not save the data for the file c:\ data has been lost. This error may be due to your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

  Finally I tried to restart the computer once more and a blue screen dark this time appeared saying something in the sense of: it has detected a problem with your hard drive and it may have been caused in what concerns some hardware and something in the message was referring to the BIOS.

  I buy a new battery for laptop a couple of weeks, but it worked perfectly. So someone could shed light on, you can the problem. At the time the laptop is freezing on the black windows xp screen.

  Thank you

  For me, it looks like a HARD drive failure.

  The S.M.A.R.T (self-monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is an industry standard that is used in hard drives. This feature watches and monitors the important parameters of the HARD disk and allows you to recognize the HARD drive problems.

  In my opinion the HDD doesn't work properly and you must replace it as far as possible.

  Sorry for this bad news but I think that there is no other solution as a replacement of HARD drive

  Bye and greetings

• 750 GB HARD drive with 4 Partitions primaries Mayhem

  I got this Lenovo Z580 a little more than a month.

  I bought an extended warranty of 3 years about this at the time of purchase

  It has 750 GB HDD with 4 partitions on this subject.

  (1) hidden to start

  (2) C: for operating system with 650 GB

  (3) D: Lenovo with about 25 GB

  (4) Levono_Part hidden

  I want to see if I can delete all partitions and then create 3 partitions to install Win 7 and Win 8 on 2 partitions...

  My problem is with the warranty...

  By doing so I void the warranty

  I tried searching the web and documentation but could not get a clear answer...

  so it is the one key recovery, in case at some point in the future if I decide to revert to the original default...

  How do I go to do that...

  Please someone answer this for me...

  As mentioned previously, change the size of the partition and the creation of new partitions will not cancel the warranty. Or install new os would do.

• The effects of top 3 (flame, frame photo and tree) are grayed out in photoshop CC2015. How can I activate them?  Thank you!

  The effects of top 3 (flame, frame photo and tree) are grayed out in photoshop CC2015. How can I activate them?

  Well, I have a full card on my Mac, I do not have access to the 3D features, so I mounted make flame, frame and tree on my Windows 7 Dell.

  First created a new empty file, then 3D > new mesh layer > 3D postcard workspace if requested.

  Then I went to the filter > make > Frame and try the command again. Frame, fire and trees is active and is more gray.

  Then on the Dell, I went into Photoshop preferences > sync and transferred all settings.  (you can install Photoshop on both machines)

  On my Mac, I went into Preferences > settings sync and uploaded everything and rendering filters have been activated on the Mac and they work well.

  The point is that you should be able to activate the filters of rendering on your Mac. Otherwise install Photoshop CC 2015 2015 on a second computer, activate the filters it and sync the two as explained above.

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.

• Can I get the Win 7 on a hard drive with multiple partitions without erasing all the data on the disk

  I have a HP p6310f with a 1 TB hard drive partitioned into two partitions.  One I have a Win 7 OS, which becomes more and more corrupt.  I would get a new version on the other partition and keep the old version until I don't know that I have restored all the programs and data properly, just in case I need something and are struggling to rebuild.  Is this possible?  When I tried to install the recovery disks, they said that the entire disk, not just the score, would be erased.  This seems a bit silly, but I am very worried about losing key information and programs that I am not able to restore.

  Hello

  If you use HP recovery disks to reinstall the operating system, you are right that they reformatted the whole HARD drive before installing the operating system.  As far as I know, has no way around that.  The only thing I can suggest is to make sure that you are able to get the installers of any program that you need before you restore the PC and maybe do two backup copies of all your personal data, just to be sure.

  On the link below, just select your operating system (Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit) and verify that you are able to download the drivers and software you need before you reinstall it.  You can always save installers for a writable DVD etc. now and then just to run it from the disk when you want to reinstall.

  Hi, Virgil,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft.
   
  I suggest for the link and follow the steps in the article:
   
  Delete a hard disk partition:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-a-hard-disk-partition
  Important: All the data on a partition will be lost when you delete it. Be sure to back up all the files you want to save to a different location before you start.
  Note: You cannot delete the partition on which the operating system is installed.
   
  Hope that answers your query.
