  The best you can do is to contact Samsung and request recovery media to restore your system to its factory default state.

  Call Samsung to get a recovery disc - to find a phone number for your location:

  Thank you Andre, very appreciated, unfortunately Samsung and their Tech Support here in the UNITED Arab Emirates was not as useful.

  I managed to keep the button restore during the 5 sec boot process that initiated the request 5 restore Samsung which was then able to take the original installation of the hidden Partition image.

  Fortunately the issue is resolved.

• How to create a boot SSD disk?

  Hi all

  I have a Pavilion p6310y (under Win 7 64 bit home premium) I added an Intel 40 GB SSD for.  I would like to boot from the SSD drive.   The recovery disks that I created will not work with a different size disk (the player to the factory is 1 TB) and I was wondering if there is a way to use the existing installation of windows 7 HP to create a solution?

  Thank you

  Reduce the footprint of your current hard drive 40 GB below!  You may or may not need another external hard drive in order to facilitate migration.  Use a disk product like Paragon Hard Drive Management Suite of Imaging.  You can also burn a WinPE boot disk to facilitate the process. I got my HD on my e9280t up to 32 GB as follows:

  1. disable System Restore

  2. disable hibernation

  3. delete all the necessary applications and migrate the data on the hard drive.

  Now reboot and defragment the hard drive. Reduce your C partition down to below 38 GB using W7 disk management or imaging software features.  You may not be able to migrate the recovery partition, as it is the 8-9 gb.  When you use imaging software, you will notice that you have three partitions. 'system or reserved', C and recovery.  You need the 'system or reserved' and C partitions.   Now, you can try image (copy) the required two partition and the mbr directly across the SSD.

  Once you get the SSD mounted, turning and imaged, then you are ready for a test. You can hit the ESC key on the blue HP screen during startup and select your boot device or go into bios and change the boot order and put the SSD at the top of the list of boot devices.

  If you have only one HD, then you have room inside for mount the new SSD, but you'll need a sata data cable and adapter support.  You must have a spare hard drive power cable but get one before you start.

  If you prefer to go with an external SSD (not mounted on the inside), will need you the following:

  1. an external hard drive (probably 2.5 ") box. You will need a power of cube or buy a box that has a round plug to USB port. ($20 35)

  2. a support extension sata to extend an open port sata (cheap) motherboard

  3. a data cable of stata (cheap)

• Upgrading HP HPE H8-1070uk to SSD using the mirror or new installation?

  I bought my H8-1070uk this time last year (Oct 2011) and decided to upgrade with an SSD.

  SSD of choice is Samsung 803, 2.5 inches Sata III 6 GB/s, 128 Gb. including the kit of accessories and Norton Ghost.

  Can we see problems with this choice for my office?

  Important information to take into account for the following questions, it's that I did a restore of complete system only 1 months ago. Recovery system was conducted using disks system recovery DVD created via HP Support Assistant at the time of purchase. I also upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB of RAM only 1 week ago.

  I want the SSD as a boot drive for my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS, as well to run my applications of 3D animation; Autodesk Softimage, Autodesk Mudbox and master of Adobe Creative Suite 6 thus than some other apps from day to day. Then use my HARD drive existing as a second car for the media and personal files, etc.

  Copy all my personal files (videos, photos, documents, etc.) on a drive external hard, my HARD C: drive partition is currently at 92 GB used space (I imagine that I might be able to find that a bit smaller) and Partition D: 10 GB 11 GB used.

  My basic question is what would be the best for my system and for the future, to create a mirror using the Norton Ghost software or do a clean install?

  Own Samsung promo videos of the 830 Norton Ghost seems very honest and will create a complete copy of my HDD to the SSD, fair enough.

  However do a few minor readings, there seems to be a fair few who suggest that in order to get the best of the SSD is to do a clean install. I don't really know how I would go to this topic but, would it not as simple as the insertion of the SSD, remove the HARD drive temporarily and then start using the system recovery DVD discs to create the clean install?

  What would be the recommendation of HP?

  Tips, tricks or general recommendations on this process would be greatly appreciated.

  Oh, also is there a slot specific SATA, that I should connect the SSD or are they the same?

  Thanks for your time,

  Steve

  Many before you have tried mirror/clone the OS for the SSD and ran into problems. A search on this forum or the internet should indicate what has been tried and failed. There seems to be no direct way to do what you want. The method below doesn't require activation and reactivation if you change most of your hardware as would be normally will not happen if you are using Windows with a standard COA key.

  It is a completely clean install and will require the installation of the drivers and software HP, if you chose for her, she.

  (1) download and unzip ABR beta for Windows 7. This is the homepage of ABR for Windows Vista. Please follow the section "How to use" for information and instructions on how to use it. These steps also apply to Windows 7. The 'activation' on your original with factory HP OEM Windows installation hard disk backup, backup the backup files in several locations (USB stick, SD card, external hard drive, etc.).

  (2) download your version (the version that has been preinstalled on your HP computer) Windows 7 from Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River. Using the built-in Windows 7 CD/DVD burning software, burn the ISO image of Windows 7 downloaded onto a DVD.

  (3) install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7 disk" to your SSD, following all prompts as needed. Do not enter a product key Windows and do not allow Windows try to scoped. After the windows installation is complete, run ABR 'restoration of activation' to 'install' the previously saved until the product key and the certificate. Verify that Windows is activated, if not activated... repeat "restoration of activation" until Windows 7 is activated.

  Good luck.

• Upgrade virtual Center 2.02 VC 2.5 on the new server. Upgrade ESX 3.02 ESX Server 3.5. and add the new ESX Server.

  Hello

  We are due to upgrade our VMWare environment. ESX 3.02 x servers virtual Center 2.02 and 3.  We have new material on which to install Virtual Center and we are also adding a new ESX Server.

  I read various guides for virtual center upgrade and watched questions on the forum, but can not see everything that relates to the way I thought to do. I want to install Virtual Center 2.5 on the new server and I would refer her to the current virtual cenre database.  Is this supported?

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  Would this work.

  What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  Yes, it is an upgrade that is supported.  Don't forget there will be an upgrade for your DB schema and it may take some time.  Just make sure that you have a good backup of your DB before you start.

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  I agree entirely, I drive rebuild is the way to go.

  Upgrade to the current version using the .iso image file.  Don't forget the license server, which is a standalone update and are located in the folder /vpx of the vCenter .iso

  Upgrade path:

  1 vCenter

  2 ESX

  I want to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro but when I tested my PC with the Microsoft compatibility tool, he said that your PC is not compatible with Secure Boot.

  Can I download new BIOS files? If so, then in the folder that should I put them?
  Other solutions, you can give?
  My PC specs are:
  -Version of BIOS American Megatrends Inc. 0203
  -Microsoft High Definition Audio sound
  Graphics chipset - Chipset Intel 82945 g Express
  Motherboard - Asus P5GC-MX
  RAM - 1 GB
  Any help would be very very much appreciated :D
  ( Hope to soon move to 2 GB of RAM and get a graphics card AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5450 )
  
  
  
  

  So can I run Windows 8 without it? Will it be safe?

  Yep, perfectly fine without it, Windows 8 is compatible with Legacy BIOS without any problem.

• Problem with dual boot

  Recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my desk and its poster option for 'Windows 7 (loader)' bootloader, but by selecting, the screen turns white and back to the same screen...

  I guess, I made changes to settings where in fact the Windows 7 operating system.
  Even tried to fix the beginning of the problems using Windows 7 installation DVD, but it shows that it has no problem starting

  And even the charger Linux said that there is no problem

  Help, please.
  Thank you :-)

  I would try using the bootsec tool
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392#

  using the /scanOS switch that he must analyze the master boot record disks and fix all the invalid entries, you said can kill ubuntu when windows re-written the boot record.
  to work around these sorts of errors with Dual Boot ubuntu in the past I have installed ubuntu to a sick card 32 GB SD or USB then to start, I just hit my boot option and choose the SD/USB instead of my hard drive. (I think that this can be with the Universal USB Linux installer..)
  This way Ubuntu and Windows never have to fight for space MBR as it is completely controlled by the BIOS to start select. Or if you are using a desktop computer, get a 2nd drive internal, disconnect your windows drive, install ubuntu on the other drive, then connect your windows you save. This way you can make the same boot select tip and 2 OS are on completely separate disks and will not conflict. (Also makes it much easier if you need to re - install one of the 2 operating systems)
  I hope this helps and good luck

• Satellite A200 - 1 CG PSAE3E: BIOS corrupted - solved with the crisis recovery disk

  Hi all

  I would like to report on the success of the recovery of corrupted bios on my Satellite A200 - 1 CG (PSAE3E).
  Like many others I downloaded a latest bios update for my laptop and it started under Windows 7 64-bit.

  In fact I only needs of some practical information from the bios update tool, but the update started automatically
  without a question. :( After several blocks has been updated the progress bar stuck a heterocycle.
  In 2 minutes, I got only the system completely frozen. I turned off the system manually, it works again, and...
  my laptop was completely dead: screen etc black and of course, I wasn't able to boot in Windows 7.

  So for those who only plans to update the bios: DO NOT update the BIOS ON the SATELLITE UNDER WINDOWS! THE UPDATE MAY BE STUCK!

  I searched on the web has found a solution. With a specially created disk and external usb floppy drive, the problem can be solved then

  I tried the recovery procedure described here, but it did not help. Earlier versions of tool phlash16.exe
  where it is not able to restore the bios. I heard that the disk was read constantly for about 2 minutes. After the recommended 5 min break, I changed the power of and then turned back on it and... I had the same darkness of the screen as before :(

  The strange thing is that the latest version of the tool phlash16.exe also did not work, but it was different from the earlier version. If I used the older version of the tool, the disk has been read for about 2 min, if used the latest version of the disk was read for about 10 seconds. It was for me, as the bios was not simply read by the tool.

  So I searched and searched again. Then I found it: it takes phlash.ini to the phlash16.exe!
  I downloaded an old bios (something from 2007) for an unknown Toshiba laptop to the Toshiba site. I renamed both the archive and found a phlash.ini inside. I changed only the second line in the ini file of... = 0 to... = 1 (I guess).

  Then I formatted the diskette under dos, copied the minidos.sys he phlash16.exe (latest version), a new bios for my laptop in BIOS. WPH (I guess) and after a phlash.ini has been fixed. After that, I started the crisis recovery makeboot.exe utility (found on the site, which I mentioned earlier). After that, I have the phone in recovery mode (Fn + B) bootet and... It worked like a charm. So, the important thing was the phlash.ini!

  So for those who has the same problem with corrupt bios, I've had: it's phlash.ini and the latest version of the tool phlash16.exe.
  All other information can be retrieved on the web site, which I mentioned earlier. The described method works with the phoenix bios!

  So good Look

  Kind regards
  Igor

  Thanks for the friend information
  But to be honest, the procedure of BIOS is always a sensitive issue and I would be always careful in using such things.

  When even good to know that your device is running again!

• Help, please! I need help installing own window 8 with LEGACY BOOT OFF

  Hello world!

  I am running in a difficult situation. During the installation of windows 8 UEFI with Legacy Boot Support off the POWER, then the WINDOWS SETUP doesn't detect any HARD or SSD drive. Then I had to install windows 8 UEFI Legacy BOOT SUPPORT market. When all install them, I turn OFF LEGACY SUPPORT, my computer running INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE error.

  Experts please help.

  With Legacy BOOT SUPPORT works, my computer so slow startup and there are too many startup steps taken in place.

  Thank you!

  SUMMARIZE:

  1: install Windows own 8 UEFI

  2: SECURE BOOT: WE

  3: THE LEGACY SUPPORTED STARTING: OFF

  Dear KNRK!

  I'm so happy. Everything seems to be in trouble, so I have to use the legacy on support. I installed the windows 8 install any update, and then upgrade to windows 8.1. The first initialization of the windows 8.1 installation, I go into the BIOS, then choose restore default.

  Like a charm, everything's fine. Now he worked on Legacy support OFF and Secure Boot on.

  BTW, I'm sharing my EXPERIENCE on installing windows 8 with UEFI.

  1. create UEFI USB BOOTABLE WITH RUFUS

  2. IF can detect the drive HARD or SSD IN WINDOWS SETUP is FINE

  If 2 is not available

  Go to 3

  3. TURN ON LEGACY SUPPORT

  3A - CREATE UEFI-BOOTABLE USB WITH RUFUS USNG MBR SYSTEM FOR BIOS

  4-USE TROUBLESHOOT - COMMAND PROMT

  5. CLEAN THE OS INSTALLED HDD

  6 - CONVERT TO GPT

  7-ACTIVE

  8 - RESTART

  9-HDD DETECTED

  10 INSTALL

  IF ENCOUNTER 03200024 ERROR 0 x

  SOLUTION - REMOVE ALL HARD DRIVE - JUST LEAVE THE OS INSTALLED HARD DRIVE

  AFTER FINISH INSTALLATION - REINSERT THE OTHER HARD DRIVE.

  TO OBTAIN AGAIN A MISTAKE.

  SOLUTION - CLEAN HDD VIA USB BOTABLE WITH MBR SCHEME FOR UEFI

  CONVERT HDD OS INSTALLED TPG, ACTIVE

  THEN AGAIN CREATE USB BOOTABLE WITH TPG TO UEFI SYSTEM

  EVERYTHING'S OK. BUT LEGACY SUPPORT MUST BE ON.

  INSTALL ALL OF THE UPDATE, INSTEAD OF UPGRADING TO WINDOWS 8.1

  IN THE FIRST REBOOT, GO TO BIOS THEN RESTORE THE DEFAULT SETTINGS.

  EVERYTHING'S FINE.

  GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY

• Can I run dual boot Vista 32 and Windows 7 64? Can I use a upgrade disk to install the full version?

  original title: I have a simple question...

  I have Vista 32 bit.  I have two hard drives.  Vista 32 is on disk 0.  (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot.  Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do?  I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?

  Hello

  You can't do what you want to do

  32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista

  It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate

  and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive

  You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

• Back to 'Vanilla' after messing around with Triple Boot

  First of all, you should know, I wonder a "software-handyman' - I LOVE messing around with my MacBook startup files, and sometimes I'll even an exaggeration with which. At the moment I'm running on a bootloader custom (refined) installed on am modified EFI, who manages my boot of trial between macOS 10,12 GM, 10 Windows and Linux of Kali. All in all my disk is divided into about 6 different Partitions (HFS + Journaled, NTFS, Linux Swap and a little more) which are listed on a hybrid MBR made by BootCamp and modified by me GUID Partition Table. (Phew)

  Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty good in this kind of things, everything is (still) works very well. My problem is, I kinda lost the overview of this 'universe', and - oddly enough - I'm also at the point where I lost the motivation to administer it. And that leads to my question:

  What is the best and cleanest way to get from one set to update EFI, a custom Table Partition, 6 different Partitions (and probably a few others) towards a functional, simple, system, like that of a Mac new, just bought.

  As said, I'm on a MacBook Pro mid-2014, GM Sierra (Build 16A313a)

  I appreciate all forms of assistance.

  Hi I'm trying to boot from usb on a desktop HP ENVY 700. I don't know the serial number now.

  I followed the instructions and have produced a bootable USB and I checked this on a work dell computer where there is an option for me to boot from my USB if I so wish, but on my HP ENVY any options choose it does not appear with my USB in question and when I try to change the boot sequence making sure the usb/floppy and drive hard usb is above the rest of the sequencers starting it always starts just to the top as usual to my windows boot 10. I've disabled secure boot and used the boot of the legacy and it still does not work.

  I went through all the options I can that seem to be logic and it just does not work. I don't understand and I have to start using a usb key that I use the operating system can be very dangerous in a real environment, so it can not be downloaded to the hard drive.

  I need immediate help, this becomes quite frustrating now that it should be simple to do, but HP is not the way to simplisitic to do.

  Please if someone could point me in the right direction I would be so appreciative ideally if I could have a ride on the way to do

• Libretto U100: Creating an SD ram with the Boot Toshiba utility bootable

  I am trying to create an SD card bootable ram using "TOSHIBA SD Memory Boot Utility".

  I don't have a floppy drive, so I use image img/vfd files created on another computer.
  In both cases, I get a window that says "TSDBOOT it comes to format not supported ', so that is not supported, my file img/vfd or my SD card RAM?

  I tried with card SD 8 MB and 256 MB, formatted both using "TOSHIBA SD Memory Card Format".

  NB: Before you start to use Partition Magic on the disk and install Linux, I would like to have a rescue disk (using the SD card instead of the WinXp boot rescue disk).

  Hello

  I force are a large part of the experience, but I presume this vfd/img file is not supported. As you know the latest are shipped without a floppy drive, and you can use the SD card to update the BIOS or even to save the password.

• Intend to upgrade HARD + SSD Macbook Pro drive end 2011

  Hope you guys can help me with this simple question (if any):

  I plan go my Macbook Pro 13 inch end of 2011 this system of 'double disc' using the current HARD drive and a new SSD. I use OS X El Capitan.
  My plan is to take all my important files on the current 500 GB external HARD Drive USB drive and delete EVERYTHING ELSE. There is no problem.

  Then I open the computer, remove the HARD drive and the optical drive. I'll replace it with my new MAIN hard drive SSD HARD drive and put the HARD drive in courses where the optical drive was (with an adapter to fit) to be a 'secondary drive' where I store my photos, movies, videos, etc.

  When everything is back in place, my question is: if I turn on my MBP with cmd + R pushed down, the normal OS X Utilities screen will appear and I would like to reinstall OS X for this new SSD?

  Why not let the operating system installed on the HARD disk, since that will give you a backup of boot problems disk? As long as you clear the Macintosh HD partition and not the HARD whole, the volume of recovery disk should remain intact and usable.
