• Install new drive internal - restoring basic questions

  Comments have a new internal drive installed on my MacBook Pro mid-2009 and after reading the relevant articles confirm a few basic things since this is my first time doing so wanted.

  Should I format the new disk using disk utility before using my last Time Machine backup to restore my files and Mavericks? If so, just start as normal and go to disk utility > format the drive > shut down > restart by pressing Option > choose restore in Time Machine? If it's just restart by pressing Option and choose restore from my latest backup from Time Machine?

  I am running Mavericks. Apple somehow automatically restore and update me to El Capitan?

  In addition to the Time Machine on my Time Capsule backups, I all supported up to two ext HD. Everything I need to do in preparation or at the time of the restoration?

  Hello!

  Looks like you've done your research. Good job! Yes, format your new HD as a unique GUID Partition Table Mac OS extended (journaled). Starting up again, I would be the "Macintosh HD" name.

  The new time Machine restore. If you have already downloaded installers - El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks. They should always be available in purchases on your App Store. Since you have a Time Machine backup, you should already have Mavericks installer in the archives. Re-download the installer El Capitan on App Store as soon as you are running. When set up El Capitan appears exit install if you want just the app for later.

  Bravo!

• Are saved if preferences CC deactivation before installing new drive?

  Greetings.  Have no value to the function "synchronize the settings and preferences", I do now.

  I installed 10 Windows on a new hard drive.  I intend to disable Adobe Creative cloud on the old hard drive running Windows 7.

  If I turn on syn on Pre Pro, PS and LR before I turn off is it "remember" these settings even if I uninstall my one and only instance of creative cloud?

  He remembers first pro workspaces?  All of our lightroom settings too?

  Of course, if I don't do that before putting in the new player, I won't be able to uninstall it later... and I don't want to have to call customer service to ask and ask to remove the other instance now inactive.

  And I don't want to take my new installation and then when I login think that these new (default) settings are those I want not synchronized to the cloud.

  Thank you

  The new hard drive should be of equal size or as to what you had and not the format of the AF.

  You will have to order recovery disks, if you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the site worldwide: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html

  If HP does not have the discs, you can get them at the computer the surgeons who have them:

  http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-18105-recovery-kit-gv405av-for-HP-model-number-600-1050.aspx

  Needless to say that you cannot get them on USB key that you must repair your CD/DVD drive to use the recovery discs.

  Hello

  There are many choices of downloads on the hp customer care website.  You try to install the package software for HP PSC 1310 Series - Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4 (Universal) ?  I found it here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=374568

  You may need to run Uninstall HP (located in the Hewlett-Packard folder in your Applications folder) before you run the downloaded installer.

  And, just to confirm, you have the trendy 1315 directly on your mini (or a usb hub connected to your mini)?

• Accidentally deleted WindowsXP! Need to install new drive

  Trying to install Linux along side WIndows XP, I accidentally deleted the boot to XP files. If windows XP is still on my system, but it cannot start. Where can I order a new XP installation disc?

  I checked your model here at HP support page and nothing is more than a disc of recovery indicated as being available. Are you sure that you burn & maybe set aside recovery when you got the machine as you normally have been asked to do?

  If this is not the case, they are available here for $27:

• When I reinstall El Capitan on a new drive, should I install device drivers?

  1. Insert the OS X installation disc into the optical drive.

  2 restart the computer.

  3. immediately after the ring, press and hold the C"" key.

• Y580 installing new hard drive

  Salvation of the Lenovo forums

  I use the Ideapad Y580.

  My hard drive is currently a failure (error messages Windows and failing Seagate diagnostic test tools) and I would like to replace the hard drive.

  Can I put a blank disc (SSD or HD) and onekey recovery (next to the switch) button to restore factory default?

  Or is it necessary for me to burn a recovery with the lenovo Solution Center disk in order to install windows on the hard drive/SSD?

  I hesitate to burn them or work with my current computer because the hard drive is already defective, so I'm worried all corrupted files flowing into the new drive.

  I hope to hear from you guys soon.

  Thank you

  Hi Onizukaeikichi,

  Thanks for the reply, I apologize for the delay in replying.

  According to your request, there is no difference between the fresh OS and a factory restore in the factory default drivers will be preinstalled where in the new OS, you need install drivers only your data will be added to this, please take backup of data.

  I hope this helps! Publish us back for other queries.

• Bluetooth driver after installing new hard drive

  Hello:

  RE: HP Pavilion DV7 - 4270us Windows 7 64-bit

  Two weeks ago, I replaced the internal hard disk on the above referenced pc. I added slowly back the necessary drivers and software using a large HP Expert.

  (Note: I have create recovery discs when the pc was new, but for some reason, they would not install new hard disk.) This is the reason why I'm adding drivers and software available, one at a time.)

  3 questions please:

  (1) because my pc's bluetooth, I don't remember adding a bluetooth driver. How could I know?

  (2) Lightscribe software has been installed at the factory on my pc, but I have not just now. Is it possible to get that back?

  (3) reviewed the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, but was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the drivers for my pc if I have upgraded. In addition, read on the forum, it seems to be quite a number of issues upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8. 1. What are your thoughts?

  Thank you for your help and suggestions.

  For the Bluetooth drivers:

  If you need drivers, follow these steps:
  1. in the run box, type devmgmt.msc.
  2 unknown devices would be listed as such and plotted with a yellow question mark.
  3. Select the unknown device or any other device you need of drivers and right-click to access the properties.
  4. in the Properties window, click the Details tab and select Device Instance of Id or hardware ID from the drop-down.
  5. an alphanumeric string, like this DEV_7130 & PCI\VEN_1217 & SUBSYS_012F1025 & REV_01\4 & 6B16D5B & 0 & 33F0 is the marker for the identification of the unit.
  6. Please provide this number so we can offer you the appropriate driver.

  Here is the link to the lightscribe software:

  http://download.LightScribe.com/LS/LS_Update_1.18.27.10_.exe

  Regarding Windows 8.1:

  If you are running Windows 7, you can use Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to check if your programs and devices are compatible with Windows 8.1.

• HP Probook 4520 s installed new hard drive with Windows 7 pro x 64 and drivers - very lag

  Hello

  I had my HP Probook 4520 s for 5 years and a few months ago, he started to become very lag, especially when you use the internet, streaming video and games.

  I thought I had identified the problem as a bad sector on the hard drive and so I bought a new hard drive and upgraded the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB at the same time.

  When I installed the new hard drive, I couldn't burn an image of my old hard drive (it would stop during the process and was unable to do so because of an error). I used my little HP Windows 7 Pro x 64 operating system DVD and your HP Application and Driver Recovery DVD to install the necessary drivers on my replacement new drive.

  The RAM and the new hard drive seem to be good, however, it's more lag. I tried to use latancy monitors to see if the drivers are the issue. It seems that there is a huge amount of latancy and my CPU is at an almost constant usuage of 100%.

  LatancyMon points in the following drivers: usbport.sys, tcip.sys, acpi.sys, iastor.sys, ndis.sys, dxgkrnl.sys and so on.

  I've seen forums where they will guide you step by step how to determine what drivers are causing latancy. This I could do although he always seems to change drivers who are the cause of the problem and there seems to be a lot of pilots of causing this problem it is so difficult to bring out here that one. In addition, there seems to be no solution to these problems. The only one offered is to update the offending drivers. This does not solve the problem with lag and the latancy yet.

  Any ideas?

  P.s. I really don't know not what is the underlying issue is here so I don't know if this is the right forum to post in. Drivers may not at all be the issue, I spent the last four weeks trying to solve this problem.

  Hello skinandbones13

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I understand that you have a problem with your laptop. However, since it is a commercial laptop, you should post your question on the map cell of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.

  Have a wonderful day!

• I have four recovery disks that after I bought my computer, I did. These disks can be used to install Windows on the new drive?

  My computer came with Windows 7.  Recently, my hard drive failed.  I have four recovery disks that after I bought my computer, I did.  These disks can be used to install Windows on the new drive?

  YES!

  I just did mine 01/01/2016, installed a new WD 500 GB HDD black on my laptop ASUS K52F, took my DVD 4 restore disks and restored to Win 7 Home Premium, more 10 Windows, which is sitting on my old HDD in the trash. I'll stick with my Original OEM OS and never improve to WIN 10 times.

  NOTE: The only time the restore disks do not work is when you replace your motherboard.

• Hard drive dies with Vista on it, to install my W7 update on the new drive

  The situation: laptop drive does not reach the point it is unbootable Windows Vista that is on it.  But starting with a live CD (Ubuntu) has allowed me to save data files.  If the reader can be usable for a while yet.  I have a new drive.  I do not have the recovery discs (my bad) and they are difficult to obtain from the manufacturer of the laptop.  So I bought a Windows 7 upgrade version (technically, I have a valid copy of Windows Vista).
  Question: How do I / can I install Windows 7 on the new disk and activate it?
  It is as easy as installing the new disk and do a phone activation?  Microsoft will activate the product with only my word that I don't have a valid activation of Windows Vista and that this activation will not be used in the future?
  Philippe

  A blank hard drive will require a license "Full Version" of Windows 7, not a license upgrade.
