• Replace the battery and the hard drive or buy a new one?

  My 2010 MacBook Pro has stopped working, close and wouldn't start even in safe mode. I brought in a tech support company and I was told that I needed a new hard drive and a new battery, which, as well as data retrieval and transfer would be about $480. I bought my MacBook Pro in 2010 is a little more than 5 years so I guess what is expected. The activity of tech support people told me that, theoretically, the HDD could last even 4-5 years and everything else on that they conducted tests the past. I'm on a budget, and $ 500 is a little money for me to spend, especially if I have to buy a new laptop in a year or two.

  If I can get my MacBook with the new hard drive and the battery still 3 to 4 years, I think it will be worth it. So, I ask you your opinion on whether or not it is better for me to replace the hard drive and the battery or buy a new laptop (probably a MacBook Air).

  Thanks in advance for your advice!

  If you fix the old laptop, you will be able to sell it on Craigslist to help put off the purchase of a new Mac.

  Otherwise, it is dead in the water.

• I tried to back up my hard disk but to halfway through it says I/O device error code: 0x8007045D.

  Original title: windows 7 backup of IO error 0x8007045D

  I tried to back up my hard disk but to halfway through it says I/O device error code: 0x8007045D.  I disabled mcafee to see if it was interfering, but that did not work.   I have an acer aspire laptop with windows 7.  I was not able to save anything.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Sheila,

  This can happen if your virus scanner (or another application of heavy disk activity) access to training. You can try running chkdsk in safe mode:

  If you run chkdsk in safe mode and you still have problems of backup, try to perform a clean boot to disable all third-party applications and test support upward:

• MSVCR71.dll missing. I installed Windows 7 Pro to Vista Home Edition. EU back up my HARD drive. When I try to put things on the HARD drive I get the message that msvcr71.dll is missing. How to install Windows 7?

  I installed Windows 7 Pro to Vista Home Prem Edition.  Back up my HARD drive with the included HP software.  Now I can't get my info on the HARD drive.  When I try to open the computer file backup says msvcr71.dll is missing.  How to install and where?

  Hi dezertdawg,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Msvcr71.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the msvcr71 DLL file. In some cases, the msvcr71.dll errors might indicate a
  problem of registry, a virus or malware problem, or even a hardware failure.

  You can use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to ensure that the system files are intact and replace the file. Follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  3. at the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:

• What should I back up my hard drive to Windows 7 Edition update family Premium for Windows 10?

  Will I lose all the files if I upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10?  If Yes, please specify the backup/restore procedure.  I have an external hard drive of 1 terabit.

• Upgrade the hard drive or consider a new ThinkPad?

  Hello

  I have an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R51e with a 40 GB hard drive. I'll soon be at the limit of ability, and I think to upgrade the hard drive.

  My laptop is under warranty until May 2009, says I guess some of you maybe understand my dilemma. Even the technology IBM says it was a difficult call. He suggested an external drive, but I really wanted to do as it would go against how I personally use my laptop.

  He gave me a 80 GB hard drive part number 13N6709 (it is the biggest hard drive I can go internally with the R51e) which will cost me $261,00

  I tried looking for answers to these questions, but the more I read more my head began to spin.

  There are a few questions (with the help of the people in this forum) I'm eager to know before investing more money in this laptop.

  Do I need other parts to install the new HDD?

  The Pro Windows XP was preinstalled by IBM/Lenovo. It will recognize my serial number to install it?

  All my recovery disks will still work with the new hard drive? Or do I have to buy a new game?

  I'd be better to just buy a new laptop?

  If, therefore, for those knowing what are the features that are on the R51e IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad would get the most bangs for the bucks?

  I'd appreciate really no knowledge that any of you can give me.

  Sincerely,

  Kat

  
  

• Had a project done with first elements 11.  All media files and PRE files were in the same folder on an external hard drive.  Received a new computer, loaded first items 11 (which of course doesn't recognize not all previous projects as it is)

  Had a project done using first items 11 (the file exported and posted on youtube).  All the media files and PRE files associated with this project were located in the same folder on an external hard drive.  Got a new computer, responsible for first 11 elements (which of course doesn't recognize not all previous projects because it is a new installation) and now cannot open the original project to make some adjustments (connected to the external hard drive of course)...  Even tried to open the last saved auto program as well, no luck.  Just get a shell of the original project, but no real media file is passed in. Then get a prompt asking you where the file "rendering-3090026..." (20 More digits) is located.  Looking for C drive and external hard drive without success. Help!

  Which operating systems are involved - old and new?

  The external drive has the same drive letter on the new computer as it did when it was used on the other computer?

  Where are the video preview and the old led, Audio preview files compared to new? See Edit Menu/preferences/Scratch discs?

  Are all the place where is the file... messages just to render files? If all are for rendering files, what happens if you click ignore for their

  messages? Can you enter into the project and render it again if necessary and proceed with the project?

  Please see the bulletin. With the above information, we will decide which way to go? It seems that a media disconnect situation has developed in

  the passage from one computer to the other.

  FWIW, do not change the extensions of file simply by copying the files to an external drive.

  Hi 1234mueller,

  Method 1: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
  Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically
  Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

  
  Note: Fixit would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below

• Palm Zire 31 sitting idle for too long and then my hard drive has crashed - I got my palmOne from HDD files but don't know how to install it on the desktop?

  Because this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored on the desktop.  My pocket computer sat unused for a very long time, but my desk calendar and contacts were until that my hard drive crashed.  I was able to retrieve the files of PalmOne since the hard drive crashed, but all I can see are the *.dat files.  When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension.  Help!  I have the original installation CD. Thank you

  .dat files are Palm Desktop is looking for work - you can not import them.

  Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the files (having more than 1 KB of data) the current .dat address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I don't know which existed on your device).

• Wipe the HARD drive before the gift

  I feel a bit overwhelmed by the number of available software to wipe hard drives.  I have two laptops that I want to clean before giving to charity and I would like to use a program on my newest laptop.  I'm looking for suggestions on which the software is easy to use and complete in the cleaning of personal information, files, etc.  Because it is not the oldest wireless laptop and I have problems it works with DSL service, I would have preferred a software which comes with a CD.

  Thank you

  Best wiping software is free. It is dban (Darik boot and nuke) and you can download it here:

  Download DBAN

  It of free (optional donation) but just as in the image .iso or cd. Download the .iso file and using your program or plug-in free Windows called ISO Recorder of CD burning:

  ISO Recorder

  Simply burn the program on a CD, boot from the CD and use the autowipe function. You can also enter the advanced MEMU and do a full 30-collar type of Ministry wipe the defence of which nothing can possibly survive.

• How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

  How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

  You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
  first push.

  How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
  motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
  BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
  the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
  for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
  There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
  your system documentation or check with your provider.
