• Windows hard disk error message

  I just got a strange error message that popped up while I was surfing around Facebook.  Before you do anything, I want to be sure that it is legitimate and not somebody trying to make me install a virus or something like that.  And if it is legitimate, I want to know what I would do to this topic.

  The error message says:

  "Windows has detected a hard disk problem.

  Back up your files immediately to prevent loss of information, and then ask the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or replace the disk. »

  Then it gives me two options:

  "Start the backup process."

  "Ask me later".

  If the drive fails before the following caveat, you may lose all the programs and documents on the disk. »

  So, if I click on the button "Show invisible characters", he says:

  "For immediate action."

  Because a disk failure will make you lose all programs, files and documents on the disk, you should back up your important information immediately.  Try not to use your computer until you have repaired or replaced the hard drive.

  Which drive is a failure?

  The following hard disks are fault condition:

  Name of the disk: Seagate FreeAgent XTreme

  Volume: I:\ »

  I am running Windows Vista 64-bit and the hard drive in question is a disk Seagate external, as indicated by the error message.  Also I screenshotted the message box if this description was not good enough.

  Hello

  Disk problems can take seriously very quickly so I carefully check the disc now and do not forget
  to keep redundant backups of your important data (use several methods).

  Inside the Windows - Regular or Safe Mode (repeatedly press F8 as you start).

  Run checkdisk - schedule it to run at the next startup, then apply OK then restart your way.

• Serious teething problems (problems of ubuntu-windows, hard disk problems boot loader)

  I have a laptop ASUS K50IN with recovery partition windows preinstalled on the hard disk (Windows 7, Home Premium edition, 64 - bit).

  I formatted the entire hard drive with Lubuntu installation dvd, I used Lubuntu, for a few weeks with success.
  (I used a removable drive for installation.)
  After that, I wanted to do a dual-boot system (windows-ubuntu).
  I deleted the windows install Summary Lubuntu with recovery partition, so I downloaded a version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit and burned to dvd (I have my product key from the back of the machine). Downloaded from: msft.digitalrivercontent.net.
  I deleted the partitions lubuntu until windows install with windows dvd, made a partition for windows (with the 100 MB system reserved required),
  and began the installation process which took place successfully, but it failed to restart after the installation. As much as I remember came problems.
  I had a few bad boots, but I managed to run the new windows 7, made some configurations, programs installed on it. I always have problems with reboots. (It was stable when I have manged to get into windows itself.)
  I searched the net and found that ubuntu uses grab as boot loader, and it isn't getting deleted with the simple formatting even with a windows installation.
  I tried to repair the boot loader of windows to the Master Boot Record by running the command from the windows installation disk prompt (many tries to start).
  I tried these commands unsuccessfully:
  /fixmbr Bootrec.exe,
  /FixBoot Bootrec.exe,
  /RebuildBcd Bootrec.exe,

  (by the way these commands responded succession of repair)

  Bootsect/nt60 SYS/MBR,
  list not found no operating system compatible hits.

  (Auto repair could not fix problem.)

  Then I used DBAN to completely wipe my drive.
  I used the values in interactive mode (PRNG:mersenne twister, method: DoD short, collar to check: last).
  Ran for 9 hours, crushed 3 times, has completed successfully without errors.
  I read that it removes the MBR sector too.
  I tried to start the windows installation disc, and it shut my computer when it arrives at the end of the second bar with "WINDOWS IS LOADING of FILES.
  Same problem with the installation of ubuntu dvd.

  Same problem with the DBAN disk.

  Same problem when booting from the hard drive.

  Keeps turning itself off in unpredictable ways. Sometimes, I managed to get in installation disc menus, then comes the turn off.

  Above all it stops early in the boot process.

• Windows hard disk recommended Dimensions?

  Hello

  Long story short, a couple of our Windows virtual machines run lack of space on the C:\ drive.  To avoid this problem in the future, is there a recommended size for hard data Windows?  FYI the VMs in trouble have a 40 GB hard drive, perhaps something close to 60 GB would be a better fit?  I am considering getting new virtual machines have a C:\ strictly for Windows drive and a separate hard drive for the 'data '.  That's probably what I should have done from the first day.

  This raises another question, is it possible to increase the size of a disk Windows C:\ with VMware?  Or are you a bit stuck with this size?

  Accoring to extpart documentation , it is supposed to be used on basic disks. I have not tried it on a dynamic disk and wouldn't recommend it.  Attach the drive to a different approach of diskpart VM and use would be probably preferred with a dynamic disk - that or use gparted to do.

  I do all the Windows boot volumes basic disks and have not ran across a reason yet to justify / require the use of a dynamic disk of OS.  I would avoid dynamic disks for the OS volume, simply to be able to use extpart on them.  It is quick and easy and requires no downtime for expansion.

  Unless you're something like replication or very precise specifications of performance, I find that it is usually best to leave the volumes to the OS and data (vmdk) in a single folder.  If performance or other reasons come into play, you can always separate them later, with other options or Storage vMotion.

  The idea here is to keep things simple, so I use Basic for the volumes to the OS disks and keep them in the same folder/data store.

• Motherboard fried; replaced, but the OEM disks don't reload Windows Vista

  How can I do or what number to call to get reloaded Vista.  I have two computers even.  HP Pavilion a6300f.  Both are about 2 years old and all original.  In November 2009, the motherboard on one of two computers went wrong.  In December, the other motherboard has gone bad.  I bought a new motherboard for the first and reloaded all the original hard disk, fan, CPU etc. etc.  Tried to use the OEM recovery disk, but he would not allow it.  I would like to be able to challenge the two machines, re - install windows vista and then move to W7 to correspond with my new computer... but I can't get Vista to recharge.

  Any ideas on who to call at Microsoft?  It seems to me that I should be able to reinstall Vista and then do what I want to do.

  It's nothing to do with Microsoft.

  You use HP recovery media.

  You will need to contact them about problems with their recovery media.

  You have changed the motherboard and their OEM recovery disks include drivers for the motherboard of origin for your model computers.

• Very slow - Window 7, 266 mHz i7, Geforce 9800 GTx graphics card - computer was reformat hard drive, reloaded windows 7 and without other installed programs/games.

  My computer is running very slowly - i7 (quad) 266 Mhz and Geforce 9800 GTX graphics card.  I had this computer for about a year.  The problems seemed to start about 3 months when I started to play a game - Empire Total war with Steam.  The computer ran more slow and more slowly, gradually.  I tried all the clean disk, speed up programs, he worked once for a few days and then become very slow.  Finally, I backed up my files and reformat the hard drive and reloaded windows 7.  My computer has nothing loaded except windows 7 and is always very slow! Hardware issues? Help, please.

  Watch the clock speed of the CPU under various conditions of loading

  #1 Note:
  CPU - ID has two tabs (memory and SPD) that indicates the actual speed of the memory and 'SPD' tab displays the nominal speeds
  for each memory location is full.
  #2 Note:

  If your PC can pass this test, your memory and CPU
  are very good (close the housing cover in order to maintain adequate ventilation)

  Core Temp:
  The temperature of each core of the processor.
  Note: For the overclockers using stock radiator and cooling fan Intel/AMD, you can expect a temperature range of
  35 to 40 ° C at idle and 60-65 c max when running Prime95.

  Also: Try running Memtest86 +: it runs from a floppy disk or CD, you must remove or
  confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• Reloading Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  I recently installed Windows 7 Pro, my hard drive should now be replaced, what is the procedure once I replaced the hard drive, can I just reload windows 7?

  Is this a full version or upgrade to Windows 7?

  In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.

  If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

  In summary:

  1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
  2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
  3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.
  4. when the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

  You should be able to repair the installation, if your installation one fall. I suggest create you a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to spare you the trouble if your computer one fall in the future.

  You can work around this two ways, I would suggest that you create a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to save you the trouble if your computer loses the system failure or instability. Since you are in possession of a valid license of Windows Vista for this computer, you can use the following method to do a clean install with upgrade support:
  http://www.winsupersite.com/Win7/clean_install_upgrade_media.asp

  You can then re-enable by phone:

  Activate Windows 7 manually:
  1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

• Location of the bookmarks on an old hardrive that is not Windows, running but the old hard disk files are accessed through another hard drive.

  The old hard disk does not run Windows, so access to the usual file through Windows Explorer or Firefox has not worked for me. The old hard drive is now a slave drive and all files are intact and accessible via the new Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  You have Windows configured to display the hidden files and folders? If not, do it as soon as the first. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=Windows-7

  Then, what version of Windows do you have on the old drive? Your profile folder must be on the way there:

  Windows XP and earlier versions:

  \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Windows Vista and later:

  \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  If you find multiple profile folders, see the recent order. You find a subfolder named bookmarkbackups. This article describes how to restore the .json files, you will find: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer.

  A little luck?

  2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

  Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

  Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

  I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Maybe you can explain a little better.

  I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

  It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

  For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

  Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

  I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

  Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.
