install wondows 95 on a xp system, drive will not format or change NTFS in fat
Hiya,
Here are the current specifications for my computer,
Microsoft windows xp professional,
service pack 3
Intel pentium 4 cpu 3.00 GHz
512 MB of RAM
Basically, I want the computer to work with a windows 95 OS instead of xp, (I have a boot cd)
I tried different ways to format my hard drive,
(booting from the xp disk, start the recovery console, giving the correct command request to start the format of drive c while changing storage type of ntfs to fat and when the format is complete I exit console early my computer and my xp is still running with all my files still saved)
I also tried with the computer in xp by clicking on my computer and try to format the hard drive manually but it gives an error message saying "unable to complete the format".
I'm to be stupid and do this wrong or is a problem of it is not not possible on my current setup?
It would be appreciated if someone could help me or come to any solution as to how I can get 95 running if
Hi Lewiscolli,
Windows 95 (and their related components) will rise to a status not supported. After this date, Microsoft no longer provides incident support options or security updates. Microsoft does not offer an agreement of support for these products.
If you have always wanted to install Windows 95 on Windows XP, you can format the disk on which you want to install the new operating system (OS) with the help of the Windows XP disc. You can format the drive in FAT instead of NTFS format, then you can install the Windows 95 operating system using the disc.
You can follow the below mentioned article for more information:
Choice between NTFS, FAT, and FAT32
Hope this information help.

USB flash drive will not format
Dane Elec 16 GB USB drive flah.
When inserted, it tells me that it needs formatting. But I can not format, because somehow, it is write protected. However, there are not switch or any possibility of mechanics to remove the write protection.
I tried unlocker, formatting to ntfs (with XP, Win7, and BACK), but nothing works.
Any suggestions?

Hello
Have you tried to format your USB key, but instead to use NTFS you use FAT 32?
Click on windows start orb
type cmd and do a right click and select run as administrator
type diskpart
disc type list
Select the drive that is your USB. For example, if your USB is no disc select 2 then type 2
clean type
type create partition primary
Type format fs = fat32 quick
Type exitNow see if it finally formatted your USB Flash drive
Kind regards

Toshiba 1 TB usb 3.5 "external hard drive will not format
Hi all, my Toshiba 1 TB external HARD drive has just arrived, was in FAT32 so told to format it. Started to format it in Windows Vista when all of a sudden the pc froze so he didn't finish.

After you download El Capitan, I received the following error message when you try to install: the drive is not formatted in MAC OS extended (journaled). Use disk utility to enable logging or reformat the disc. Can anyone help? (My disk utility shows that she in MAC OS extended (journaled) format.)
It shows that it is Mac OS extended, not journaled. Click enable logging in the toolbar.
The thing you read is if you format the drive using the RAID settings you have selected. You have to look at the bottom of the window where it shows the Format.

Original title: startup problem
I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error. I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed. Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot. My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit). Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc? And if so, how can I restore it? The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left. When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.
Hi DougEisenmann,
Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.
If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?
< re-titled by host >
I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.
Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?
How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files? Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?
IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.
I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?
IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?
What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

Hard drive will not accept any CD or DVD
I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8 version. The hard drive will not accept a CD or a DVD. Thinking maybe I left a floppy disk in the drive, I tried to eject, but the eject button does not eject anything. I have not tried to insert a disk for a long time, so do not know how long it could have been a problem without me realizing it. I tried to shut down the computer and restart, but this does not solve the problem. I did some research using the Apple Hardware Test, but the instructions say insert the Applications install disc 2. Unfortunately, as I can't insert a disc, I can't deal with the problem in this way? Any suggestions?

Original title:. Nothing works.
All my .exe files have been removed. as well as system32\rundll32.exe... How can they be retrieved when no file opens and the system restore will not work. I can't install a fixit program or run anything at all.
Safe mode?
Looks like you have a virus/trojan/worm infection pretty good...
Actually, even if you get executables run again - you can be (read as "will be") better off the coast of a new facility. Wipe and install media with your product key and other serial numbers and installation for other products media you own and restore your last recognized reliable backup for your files.

System Restore will not work
Hi FriendFriend,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2. do you have security software installed on the computer?
3. you receive an error message when running the system restore?
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to clean boot.
It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

My DVDRW DRIVE will not write to disk
My DVD - RW drive will not write to disk, it is only recognized on my computer as a DVD ROM and CD - ROM only. I looked in Device Manager and there is no question mark by it and he says it's working properly, I had it works normally about 2 weeks ago, can you help me? L.M.Baggley
If it worked about two weeks ago, you could try a restore point to return the parameters of your system they had previously, by using the system restore. It is in the startmenu, all programs, system, SYSTEM RESTORE tools. Choose a point of older and not the most recent. Alternatively, right - click the icon for your drive and make sure that the recording tab is there, and that registration is enabled on the computer. You will also find it better if you record at a slower speed and not the faster if you want to avoid reading errors. "THE BEST THING TO DO IN THIS WORLD IS A WRONG ANSWER! "I"DON'T"WINDOWS...". »

External CD drive will not mount on OSX
An external CD/DVD drive will not mount on my iMac running the latest OSX update. I'm on my second CD drive (sorry Amazon). When I insert an audio CD, it is recognized. I am able to rip the CD fine, but then the Player responds neither to open unless I unplug the USB to which I am able to open it and change the CD I tried to use external power to the player. That
s not the question. Disk Util sees only after fresh USB connection. Profile of sys can see at any time. Back to zero does not correct the problem is it better that disconnect and reconnect. All OS updates have been applied. No other devices or software problems. Y at - it a tip. This should be simple and Yes, CD player works on a Windows machine, but I have not yet tried on another machine from Apple.
Post edited by: HOUSE is compatible OSX and the issue is not resolved.
Is the devices designed to work with OS X?

Satellite P10: The drive will not burn DVD
Hope someone can help me,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P10 and have just received some photos software, burning
But my drive will not burn DVD, I try with discs DVD - RW which must work my laptop.
What is happening is when it comes of the burn on the part of the disk of the process he starts, but it fails.I tried to burn it with Nero, but even if I burn OK on any CD discs with this software it will not work on DVD discs. It's really annoying because when the burning process it fails so that it makes the DVD - RW disc seem curupt and then my drive has problems mounting the disc to try a deletion once more.
I have the Nero log file failed
Done if it's any help to anyone.A big thank you Michael.
Hello
What about different DVD media? Have you tested the media DVD-R or DVD + R common?
Have you tried different brands of DVD?
I can't give you a properly answer why the drive can't burn your DVD - RW, but to my knowledge not every media is supported by the player.
So I think you should check different DVDs.
