• Vista does not recognize the printer network driver.

  Recently, I built a new desktop computer and install Vista Home Premium (64) bits.  I have a HP Deskject 5650 connected to another computer on desktop running Windows XP.  When I try to add the shared printer on the 64 bit Vista computer it will not find the drive.
  I was able to share this printer on 3 laptops 2 running HP Vista (32 bit), one XP and shared with friends running a variety of OS including Ubuntu and OS10.
  I managed to install the printer directly on the new office.  It works very well with a direct connection.
  I have found the correct driver in the prnhp001.inf of the Windows/inf directory, it contains this listed
  "hp deskjet 5600 series (HPA).

  I have attached the printer either by browsing or via its TCP/IP address.  Windows says that the xp machine doesn't have the right driver.  It askes for the directory with the correct driver.  I have it to point to the directory, but he comes back and says window cannot find an appropriate driver.  Contact your administrator for help to find and install an appropriate driver.
  Is there a way to force Vista to load the correct driver, as he did for the version 32 bit on my laptop?
  Any other suggestions would be helpful.  I would like to use Office XP as a print server for the entire network, but this problem is to thwart this attempt.

  Hi bobxnc,

  Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

  You will have to visit the HP website and download and then manually install the driver for Vista 64-bit on the Vista machine.  After installing the driver, it should connect and locate the driver on your computer to the printer.  Driver for 64-bit system are usually different 32-bit system, this could be the cause of the problem.

• My new computer came with a partitioned hard drive. I have not create the partition. What is it?

  original title: Partition of mystery

  I just got a new computer. It has a 2 TB hard drive that apparently has already been partitioned, creating a drive E. I have not create the partition. The files on the partition are old EULA, the .cabs, and .dll files, but this that baffles me, is that the two disks are the same size, 2 TB. It is the size of the disk itself. Whence comes this extra drive, and how these two readers may overlap?

  Should I remove this extra drive and if so, how can I do?

  Thank you

  Tim

  Wait, I'm CONFUSED! YOU can not HAVE a PC THAT IS 4TB SIZE!

  
  
  EDIT: Sorry, but Acer installed 2 HDD. (Wow!)
  
  
  Be sure not to remove the 2nd partition, because it IS a recovery or backup disk.

• Reinstall Vista 32-bit on the partition C erase data on other partitions?

  Hello.

  I have a computer with vista 32 bit pre-installed.

  I made the recovery discs and I know how to use them.

  Reinstall Vista 32-bit on the partition C erase data on other partitions?  Y / N
  Chris.

  Hello Chris,

  Installation from recovery or a recovery partition disks ' "won't replace (wipe) the partitions that you created. The idea is to "valuing your system back to factory conditions", which means exactly that.

  I suggest that you save all the information about the partitions that you created on a removable USB drive. As soon as you reinstalled windows, you can then recreate the partitions and copy the information from your removable USB hard drive hard disk internal.

• Reinstall Vista 64-bit on the partition C erase data on other partitions?

  Hello!

  My computer crashed recently pretty poorly, and the repair did not work, so I'll reinstall Vista.
  What I wanted to know before I looked at however, was reinstalling Vista on a partition would be to delete data on other partitions. I mean, I know it would erase all the files on the C partition, but what about others?

  I have a 500 GB HARD drive divided into four even of the partitions, and have a lot of files and media on the other three partitions, but nothing of any consequence on the C partition where Vista is installed.

  I'd rather be able to just re - install without transfer 100 s of GB data on mobile devices, as this would not only take ages, but be very annoying.

  Any help/advice would be appreciated.

  11 click Format to format the hard drive. (See screenshot below)
  NOTE: If you have more than one partition on the hard drive and you want to get rid of him make a big drive, then click on Remove for each partition. Now, click on new , and adjust the size of the partition that you want, and then click format. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

• My program and other files on my C drive & external drives seem to be "deleted", but the virus scans show that the real files are still there...

  I use Windows Vista and the antivirus software Kerpersky internet on my Dell laptop. A virus 'seems have wiped my desktop and programs files and the directory of my document files, and index on my C drive and my external drive which was attached when you save.' .. that is the index of the two drives is empty shows that no file already exist...

  Kerpesky worked at the time, but he could not stop the attack. However, Karpersky himself was apparently not affected, and when I run that s Karpersky it scanning readings missing files on the C drive and the external drive as being there but appears to any threat of threats...

  I managed to get my office back in a configuration much earlier using a Windows roll back feature that resets the list of programs and some very old directories and older files, but I can't see the previous desktop, nor my current "desktop", or a 'my document' content etc.

  When I jump into Excel and pick up the last file used, that has been saved on my desktop, it chose upward and able to be re-registered, but if I try to view a list of files via Excel or MS Word, none are found.  Another problem is that my backup disk has got so touched.  I am concerned to recover all my files and also not to overwrite anything on my C drive in the meantime. What are the best tools to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Peter

  Problem has been fixed.  I had a breakthrough last night when I did a bit of research to specific directories and found that files and directories 'lost' were just 'hidden '. I used the Windows tools to display all the files and directories hidden in the C drive and HARD drive and were able to view each of them to solve my problem.

  Thank you very much

• Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

  I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

  I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
  Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

  Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

  THX

  Hello

  Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
  On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

  I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
  The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

  Good luck

• External drive HARD Toshiba 1 TB does not work on my laptop but works on another PC

  Hello
  I used my drive external HARD for almost a year with no problems until now. When I hook it up to my laptop and try to open it, the computer laptop everything freezes and I can't do anything.
  It is recognized in the Device Manager where it says "this device cannot start. Code 10 "and"the process of hosting the driver for this device has finished".

  Should I try to uninstall and reinstall even if it works without problem on another computer?
  USB ports on my laptop seem to be OK that other devices work well.

  Thanks for help.

  It looks like a USB driver problem.
  I think you should first disconnect the HARD drive.
  Then go to Device Manager, look for USB hubs and controllers and uninstall/delete all the USB controllers.
  After that, restart the system. Wait for USB devices deleted would be recognized and then connect the USB HDD to one of the USB ports.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows 7 64 bit does not recognize the USB external drive HARD Stor E art 3.5 "

  I buy the art external disk HARD Stor E 3.5 "and spend a few days in windows does not recognize the HARD drive. Try to connect the drive to other USB 2 ports and nothing happens. Use a USB to see if has been a problem with the USB ports, but all 3 are OK. Try it on the laptop Asus and windows 7 recognizes the HARD disk. I formatted the drive in NTFS FS. In managing records do not show the external HARD disk. What can I do to fix this?

  My laptop is a Qosmio F60

  This is a really silly situation. It can be recognized by other laptops but not your Qosmio.
  According to the description of your HARD drive when connected simply doesn t exist for your Qosmio laptop.

  Some other HDD is recognized correctly?
  What you can try is to reinstall the chipset driver, restart the laptop and test it again.

  Since when you have this problem? Some installed updates of the last days?

• Satellite L - Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

  OK, I have spent the last 5 days or more trying and do not install vista on the laptop miserable with no chance and ive finally succumb to ask for help here.

  Does anyone know what driver I need to use to allow Vista to recognize the SATA drive? I got some drivers download Toshiba chipsets article section and put it on a USB key, but they do not work. I get the message "Windows cannot locate the disk media to install windows" or a similar message. If I load all the drivers, then its just total failure - Windows installation procedure says that it cannot find the target medium or such a message. He develops files, loads the files and then stops and gives this message. There are all sorts of other stupid messages that would normally make me want to take the / offending laptop and throw it out the window. Needless to say, has not yet happened.

  Also does computer some odd scratching / clicking noises during installation - it seems to come under the laptop - looks like it's either a problem with the hard drive or DVD drive, or both. I get up then a blue "Material error" message screen of death

  I know it's not nice to go and my error messages are a bit vague (I must have spent countless hours installation and got so many error messages to send me brain dead mode) but thought id just ask to get some ideas - thank you.

  > "Windows cannot locate the disk media to install windows" or a similar message.
  You can install windows without use drivers SATA.
  Access the BIOS and set the SATA from AHCI compatible mode mode.
  This should allow to install the OS

  See you soon
