• Discs of recovery, or vanilla Windows Installer on Q770 and 2nd HARD drive

  The Qosmio Q770 need to reinstall windows,

  At thining use the disks of recovery, or just vanilla win 7 and then add drivers, I need.

  issue with recovery disks it will affect the 2nd hard drive because that's where all my data?

  Thank you

  In my opinion, you must install Windows using the original recovery disk. It is much easier and you do not install all the drivers, tools and utilities. All this is included in the recovery image. After installation of recovery image simply configure OS and you can remove applications that you don't need.

  I force test but I m pretty sure second disk will not be changed, just the main hard drive so your data must be secured. You can make backup anyway.

• Problem with installing Windows on a hard drive, HARD drive does not get detected after installation

  Original title: help with hard drive of the computer.

  Flow of the problem:

  My aunt tried to install windows 7 on the previous copy of windows 8. Needless to say that it doesn't work and it has messed up the hard drive. So, I bought a vacuum. I formatted the hard drive using my other windows computer to have 2 partitions: a boot partition and system partition, and then used the program WinToUSB to install windows on the hard disk. The reason I did it is, because no matter how many times I changed the BIOS in my laptop of aunts, it wouldn't boot from the DVD player to load the windows software. After a few hours, I found WinToUSB. Once windows has been installed, I plugged it into the laptop. For a few hours, I didn't know what to do, because the computer does not recognize the hard drive (he said: "Not detected"). I decided to start from legacy, and then the screen deals

  «intell...» »

  and a bunch of dates, etc all the stuff on the screen to load legacy if you know what I mean.

  He said "not plugged in the media. Check the power cord.

  Then quickly changed screen before I can read almost anything and it goes to the normal windows screen black (with 4 colors). I said to myself, how can he be loading if the hard drive is not detected... Once it is loaded, he brought me to the blue screen (blue screen of death, if you want) I turned the computer on again, always noticing the hard drive was not detected. I ran all the recovery/repair options I could and turned off the laptop. I came back a few hours ago and I loaded the computer again and went into the BIOS.  He said that the hard drive has been detected and said the news about this, as usual. However, at the start of the legacy of windows loading screen, it said still not detected.  I then started to windows to see since it is now detected if that fixes the blue screen. Yet, there is no. I tried to go to the normal windows and screen remains blue. any ideas?

  Hello Chris,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  According to the description, it seems that Windows was not properly installed on the hard drive. I'm not sure how to work the software from third-party manufacturers WinToUSB and reliable installation process is. Microsoft does not recommend using any third party tool to install Windows on your computer, the use of these third-party tools can cause serious damage to your computer.

  I would say to format the hard drive once more and try to install Windows through normal Windows installation process.

  Refer to the section "using the installation option custom if no operating system is installed" in the thread below.

  Installing and reinstalling Windows

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7

  If you are not able to install Windows on the hard drive at all, I suggest you to contact the hard drive manufacturer to obtain a diagnosis of material performed on the hard drive.

  Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

• How to change hard drives (windows 7)

  Hello, if my area 51 Windows 7 hard drive crashed, and I was able to get another hard drive with windows 7 on it installed. However, the computer does not recognize the new hard drive. but when I do a scan in the Bios it clearly says it's there. I know there is a kind of security with Winows 7 precaution that makes this whole painful process, but I do not know how to work around. Currently I am running a Linux emulator for my OS but I need Windows for work reasons. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  It is highly unlikely that a copy of Windows installed on a computer with a different hardware will work when used on another computer. Rather than try to do what you're trying, you must perform a new installation of Windows on your new drive. Boot from the Windows 7 installation DVD and follow the instructions for a clean install.

  Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:

  Click Start

  Right click on computer

  Click on properties

  Click on advanced system settings

  Click on the System Protection

  Click on configure

  Adjust the amount of disk space allocated to system restore.

• How can I change hard drive icon images?

  I have a strange problem that has just occurred in Windows 7.

  I have several hard drives internal and 1 external hard drive.  The external hard drive has always had its own unique icon and internal hard drives all have the same icon image.

  But somehow, the external drive now has an image of the icon of an internal hard drive, and my biggest drive, a HD 1.5 TB, shows the icon used previously by the external hard drive.

  I can't understand why this happened, or how to redefine the way it was.  Don't pose any problem of performance, its just confusing because I saw this image external drive so long I'll automatically for the picture if my computer or Explorer and now that means that I often select the wrong drive.

  I click on properties > customize and select change image folder, then select a hard drive icon I want for each player, but he never changes the icon.  And I'm pointing to an appropriate *.ico icon image file.

  Anyone has any ideas on this issue?

  Thank you.

  Move the Autorun.inf file and the Mxoicon6.ico file on your external hard drive, and restart the computer. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

  As far as I know the laptop supports the disk HARD 2.5 SATA.
  I think you could use a SATA SSD drive. Usually some SSDS require the firmware update but this should be provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

  So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

  The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
  If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

  I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

  Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

  * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

  Hello

  I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
  But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

  Best regards

• Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

  Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

  If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

  Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

  Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.
