Is there a limit to the amount of the size of the hard drive that it can manage Windows Vista Ultimate?

. I am trying to install a disk hard external sata 3 TB

It would be only format 2.3 TB. Is there a limit to the amount of the size of the hard drive that it can manage Windows Vista Ultimate? If so, is there a way to enlarge it.

Vista only supports drives of 3 TB for storage of the data and do not install the Vista operating system on this drive.

  • Is there a limit on the number of times you can use the recovery CD

    I have a desktop a6242n and the failed hard drive, I installed a new and inserted the recovery CD and it comes up with the message that this is not the correct CD for this computer. I made them when I first got the computer and used without problem. Is there a limit on the number of times I can use the recovery CD? If I buy a new game that will work?

    Hello

    There is no limit to how many times you can perform a recovery from the discs. The issue is likely because the hard drive does not have DMI information loaded on it. You will perhaps call HP and order a set of recovery disks and ask them to guide you through access to tools on the recovery disk to reload this information on the disc, assuming they are available.

    Good luck!

    What is a RAID?  You could have 6 300 GB drives, RAID requires treatment, and basically, 1 disc is overload, so it seems you are using RAID 5 (if you have 6 disks).  In this case, that is right you have 1.4 flying over, which is what ESX sees.

  • This hard drive is compatible with my laptop? Apple 80 GB HDD 3.5 SATA for my Compaq CQ62, the hard drive that I have for that one is a "WD 500 GB 2.5 SATA II.

    I plan to buy an Apple 80 GB hard disk 3.5 SATA for my Compaq CQ62, the hard drive that I have for you is a "WD 500 GB 2.5 SATA II.

    Ports appear as it will keep and everything, but I'm curious to know, if I get this drive, I'll be able to install my Macintosh on that hard drive and use it on my laptop Compaq CQ62 or not?
    If this isn't the case, then I'll be able to install Windows 7 or uBuntu on this hard drive? The hard drive will fit even on my laptop? Thank you!

    Why you want to replace a 500 GB with a 80 GB drive it?

    Macintosh is not an operating system

  • just formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded

    I formatted my hard drive and xp wouldn't charge b/c he didn't see the hard drive. I then installed Windows 7 starter and cannot be upgraded. .

    Probably, you need to boot in the BIOS of the computer and changed on the hard drive in IDE mode, SATA, so it can be recognized by Windows XP.

    Before that you plan to replace Windows 7 with Windows XP. Have you tried to familiarize yourself with the operating system first?

    http://techingiteasy.WordPress.com/2009/08/19/for-the-former-Windows-XP-user-welcome-to-Windows-7/

    If you want to run Windows XP, you can consider to dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP. You first need to know if your computer is compatible with Windows XP. Much more modern computers are gradually support for Windows XP.

  • is there a slide in the hard drive for hp pavilion m8013w

    I want to load windows 8.1 on my current hp pavilion m8013w but, don't want to erase Vista with all my data on the current hard drive.

    So I think to install a hard drive "slide in" front loading slot and on the hard disk and then move all my data of visited.

    Anyone know what I should do when shopping for a slide in the hard drive.  is there a model number?

    Peace!

    Isely, welcome to the forum.

    Have you run the Wizard upgrade of Windows 8 to ensure that the components of the computer are compatible with Win 8.1?  It is available in the link I have provided.

    I am not sure what you mean by a hard drive "slide in".  You hear a "Personal Media Drive"?  If so, I can't find one any where.

    If the computer is compatible with Win 8.1, it would be easier to buy a SATA hard drive.  You can use the FREE copy of Aomei Partion Wizard to transfer your BONES and your data.  I downloaded it to see what it will do.  It seems to be a great program.  You should read all the 'tutorials' which are provided.

    Acer eRecovery made

     

    1. on the Acer splash screen, you can press Alt and F10 (at the same time press F2 to enter the BIOS) to make it appear a version BACK style eRecovery.

    ·        The unit is able to reload Windows from this mode faster then CD.

    ·        The default password is 000000 (6 zeros) and it is shown when you are prompted for the password.

    ·        Users are able to change the password in this mode for eRecovery only.

    ·        The system can retrieve the hidden on the hard disk (partition PQService) image or a CD/DVD media.

    ·        It is possible to reload the factory CD/DVD style or snapshots that creates the eRecovery Windows version.

    2. in Windows, there are 3 ways to access eRecovery functionality.

    ·        Press Alt and F10

    ·        Open Acer eManager and then double-click eRecovery.

    ·        When a system is new it should automatically open this application and invite you to do the recovery media.

    3. the Windows version of the eRecovery program is stronger then the Dos Version. Below you will find the various features of the Windows version:

    Recovery settings: create backup files and change password

    ·        Picture of the backup snapshot (create a disk image of your system configuration)

    1. the system is able to make a CD/DVD image of the current state of mobile software including customer programs installed.

    2. This CD/DVD is usable in Windows and DOS of the program version.

    3. the drive should start, but isn't always.

    4 when a snapshot is in fact the image is on the D: partition and then can be burned to disc if eRecovery is said to.

    ·        Burn the Image to disc (create a backup disk)

    1. you can create 3-7 CD or DVD 1-2 such as those that were sent with the units before eRecovery.

    2. the serious CD are equal in usage to the system recovery CD and CD

    ·        Remove data from backup image of capture instant user (if available)

    1. This is how delete you the snapshot on the D: partition images

    ·        Password: (change the eRecovery password)

    1. measures: restore your system using an existing backup file or restore the default configuration in your system factory.

    2 backup copy using one of the snapshots has been filed or the original image on the D: partition.

    4. made eRecovery

    ·        When the hard drive is replaced the system loses its characteristics eRecovery. These features are on the hard drive and cannot be reinstalled.

    ·        When reinstalling from the CD/DVD's you will lose the eRecovery program but the DOS version can still function, as if uninstalled, you can not reinstall.

    ·        eRecovery uses Ghost (as well as the use of our recovery CD) to create snapshot images.

    ·        If the PQService partition is removed using fdisk or a utility under Windows, you may need to reinstall Windows.

    ·        If the system is recharged using the DOS version you retain the eRecovery feature

  • Have a computer dell laptop. replaced the hard drive; tried to install my Windows XP and my product key is not accepted. I was wondering why and how do to accomplish this task.

    My dell laptop had the hard drive replaced.  My son, who knows computers, installed the new hard drive.  Then he tried to install my Windows XP Professional software - when it came time to put the product key #, it was not accepted.  It's authentic.  The product key is: * removed *.

    There no mention of this issue in section outages or other information provided in the booklet provided.  Can you help me with this problem?

    The license key and product type must match (XP Home vs XP Pro;)  (and OEM license vs the retail license).  If it's a Dell computer and you get the product key from a sticker on the case, then there is likely a version of Windows XP OEM this product key.  If you install Windows XP from a retail installation disk, then the types of licenses will not match.  You will need to use the license that accompanies the retail installation disc or you will need to contact Dell for an OEM installation disc to go with the license on your sticker case.

  • Reformat the hard drive and a clean reinstall of Vista

    Hello
    I was wondering if you could advise me if this is possible.
    I have Vista on a partition, a home machine built dual boot (with XP), who begins to fill. I decided to stop using XP, which

    is sitting on the second partition of the hard drive, and I want to reformat the disk and a partition with Vista on it. Taking into

    mind, I'm not bothered about losing all the data and save nothing, in my opinion, I don't want to lose, can I just reformat the hard disk into a single

    Partition and reinstall Vista? I'm sure that the answer is Yes, but my main concern is to ensure my "serial key" is accepted and that the activation

    process will go smoothly. Read other messages I prefer not to use Vista to reduce the size of the XP partition and prefer to make one

    clean install.
    Your help and feedback will be greatly appreciated.

    Yes. Do a clean install of Vista and leave this formatting occur

    You mean the product key, not series.

    You can reinstall and reactivate as many times as you need or want.
    No problem. Worst case, if it's some time since the last

  • Copy of the hard drive. Where can I get an "edge" 44 HARD drive to a connector 44 flat plug adapter round pins?

    Hello. Anyone know how to copy the contents of a hard drive of 80 GB MK8026GAX Toshiba HDD2191 d ZK01 T to a computer? This record came from a laptop Dell Insipiron PP12L defective 6000. The HARD drive has a 44 pins connector flat male edge. I can't find any adapter that will connect this edge connector 44 flat pins at all normally used 2.5 "or 3.5" round connector pins. I have a new technology USB 3.0 Universal Drive Adapter kit, but it requires 44 pin round connector.

    If you know an adapter that can connect edge connector 44 pine flat female to connector 44-pin round, please let me know.

    My approach to copy HDD content is incorrect. Maybe you have a suggestion for a way to copy the contents of the HARD drive above?

    Thank you in advance,

    AdamWie

    Hi Osprey4,

    Thank you for your response. I found an adapter that transforms the connector 44 flat pins female connector 44 round pins. The only thing to do now is to get 44 male connector 44 round pins round pin connector cable or adapter, but this should be easy. Thank you for helping me to solve my problem of HARD drive.

    Kind regards
