Installation disk hard second - "Uninitialized" says and will not let me format
In disk management, I see my new drive hard second 1 TB. It recognizes the 931,51 Go drive, unallocated. When I walk through the process to configure a partition and format, I get the following error message:
"The operation cannot be performed because the disk is not initialized."
I must have missed a step, but reading that I did it is not clear to me what I missed. Help?
Thanks in advance. Branden
Figured it out. The player appeared in the red list a small arrow down through the disc. By right clicking on the arrow pointing down, they gave me the option to "initialize disk". Now am going forward with the formatting process. Confused, but hope someone saves some time.

Hello
I just installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a new hard drive on my Dell Studio 540. The PC has a graphics card ATI Radeon HD 3450 and has a Samsung 226bw 22 "monitor on the digital output. This works very well, and has the resolution of 1650 x 4050. When I am running Vista (on the previous hard drive), I got a monitor flat 14 "old on the other out, and it worked fine (although at a lower resolution).
I added a monitor AOC F22s + on the other output, expecting to be able to put this to the recommended 1920 x 1080 resolution. Unfortunately, Windows has developed the driver for this monitor "Generic non - PnP" and will not let me set the correct resolution. To the maximum it will allow is 1600 x 1200, (as well as all other resolutions it allows) do not use the monitor at maximum capacity, which is the ratio of evil anyway, so the display seems tense.
I run Windows Update, so have the latest drivers. I tried to install the other drivers, but nothing helped.
I tried to unplug the Samsung monitor and restart the PC, so that the AOC, one was the only monitor it and he always had as 'Generic non - PnP' with the wrong resolution.
Someone at - it ideas? I'm at my wits end. AOC support did not understand and could only suggest that the monitor was faulty, but the place where I bought it insist that it works very well and so no Exchange or get a refund (no restocking fee, which is a RIP-OFF).
I really want to use both screens and would appreciate greatly any help that anyone can give. I hope I gave enough information. If I didn't, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Alan
PROBLEM SOLVED!
It turned out that my VGA cable was wrong and that it was not send the right signal to the computer. The screen worked fine with a VGA monitor, but the PC has not said that the new monitor is a PnP I tried a different cable and it worked fine.
Thanks again to all who have suggested things.

I had this problem before on sites Web of VA. How Firefox can not trust a site from the U.S. Government? It indicates that the connection is not approved and will not let me continue. How can I make Firefox let me continue?
This page opens another page in a frame.
In such a case, you cannot make an exception.This server does not send a certificate chain that ends with a built-in root certificate.
You can open this page in a tab to make it possible to create an exception if you really need access to the site.
Note that storing a permanent exception should not be.Open the chrome URI by pasting or typing this URI in the address bar to open the window "Add the Security Exception" and to check the certificate:
- chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.XUL
In the field location type and paste the URL of the Web site
- retrieve the certificate via the button 'Get certificate '.
- inspect the certificate via the "view..." button. »

This has just begun. When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs go :-( This happens every time now. I know how to recover my old tabs but whenever I close Firefox it always warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs.
Tanks for help getting Firefox working properly again
JimDo not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.
- Tools > Options > Privacy: history: [X] clear history of Firefox closing > settings
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/clear+recent+history
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

Try to connect to my computer as the administrator, but after I put my login in it goes to check on the page and will not let me connect. The regular connection for the computer works fine. Any ideas?
Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

Why the application manager said that muse is updated, when it isn't? And will not let me update?
I have the latest version of OS X I opened Muse and he tells me that I have to update. I have check and that's only still v1.1, 960 to build.
There is a promblem I don't know?
Hello
Sorry for the confusion and frustration.
Because the Muse is an Air application, there are some limitations in the way that we interact with the Application Manager that can cause these types of States in conflict. We have plans that will address this, but unfortunately, it of a complicated situation and will take time.
I'm working on a document that will address all the various installation questions such as this one and post it on the forum and elsewhere when its done. I apologize that this has not happened before and several people were affected than expected.
See you soon,.

Looks like the print head may be stuck? I remember having the same problem a long time ago but don't remember what could be the solution to the problem.
There are a few things that you, and not when this happens. Most of the time it's a very small piece of paper holding things to the top, or the printer just need a reset to zero more deep. The document following the link will take you through all the things you can try. If this does not work, you will need to replace the printer. Let me know what happens.

Whenever I try to download this thing from a Web page I know is safe, he said that the link cannot be created. How can I do so im allowed to download?
What web browser do you use? Have you tried to use an alternative web browser? If more than one web browser is saying it is not safe or cannot be verified, then its probably not.
Mind to reveal what you are trying to download? Help us to better understand the problem.
You can try to temporarily disable your Antivirus and Windows Firewall and try the download again. (Do this at your own risk).
