  • Changing to a new computer from vista to windows 7. My file transfer and deletion of personal information, including files from my old computer for security reasons

    I'm about to change my old computer (windows vista) to a new all-in - one computer that has windows 7. Am I right in thinking that I can transfer my files incl. photos to an external hard drive and then plug that to my new download or is it more than that. Also, I have macafee protection on my old computer and don't know how to transfer to my new one cos I don't think that's it (we bought it second hand on ebay), and this should be done first.

    Finally how to make sure that none of my personal information is nowhere on my old for security reasons?

    I would appreciate any advice, thanks

    Several options;

    (1) simple, connect you external hard drive copy data

    Or use the backup software which may be preinstalled on the outside

    (2) for easy transfer Windows http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/Products/features/Windows-Easy-Transfer

    Old PC;

    The windows recovery discs to retrieve destructively to factory settings

    McAfee

    Uninstall on the old PC to the new PC, uninstall any trial version pre-installed anti-virus, reboot, reinstall McAfee from original installation media using your key

    New PC

    Make sure that it has been reset to the State of the plant, before you do something with it, because you don't know what the previous user used during or installed on it.

  • Managing disks in Windows 7 does not recognize external hard drive

    It is a recent event. I backed up my computer only 45 days ago and it worked Ok. The same external drive has no problems with your Windows XP desktop.

    No other USB devices is facing this problem.

    Device Manager identifies the mass storage device (WD1140), as well as the USB controller.

    This utility cannot sort.
    It is not possible to change/assignment of a new letter to the reader as disk management does not identify her. I also tried to use the command-line (list disk)... the only disc that displayed is internal.

    I tried to change the USB port, without result.
    The operating system is Windows 7 Starter.

    Hello Cristian,

    I appreciate the efforts to solve the problem. We would like to know the following information form you for help to come.

    (1) what store did you run to fix the problem?

    (2) you have any software from third-party security installed on your computer?

    (3) what is the brand and model of your computer?

    You could address this issue due to a hardware conflict or if the external hard drive that you are trying to connect has virus. Prior to the resolution problems make sure that you have installed all Windows updates. Follow the steps below to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Run hardware and troubleshooting utility device.

     

    Connect the external hard drive to your computer, and then run the troubleshooter below.

    Open the hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Method 2: Reinstall the USB controllers.

    You mentioned that another that this device, all other devices are detected, follow the steps to make sure that you have the latest USB drivers. This method addresses the steps where the USB driver currently loaded became unstable or corrupted.

    (a) click Start, type device in the area Manager Search , then click on the peripheral Manager.

    (b) expand Bus USB controllers. Right click on a device, and then click Uninstall. Repeat for each device.

    (c) when completed, restart your computer. Your USB controllers will automatically install.

    Method 3: Run Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    * original title - when I connect my hard drive (which has more than 70 films) my show windows Explorer does not and it closes all active applications. I can't open my disc... help me hard... *.

    Hi Adnot

     

    Method 1:

    I suggest to connect the hard drive, then try to run the security analysis. You may need to disable all autorun feature, if you use the drive. Then, try to perform security analysis and check if you have any viruses or malware present.
    See the link below for the analysis and verification.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Method 2:

    You can also perform a clean boot and check if you can open the hard disk properly. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If the problem is resolved check which service non-Microsoft is the source of the problem; referring to article and following the other steps.
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satego X 200 - 21 d: drive DVD TS-L632D is not read and burn DVD-R DL

    Hallo,

    I have problems with my DVD SATEGO X 200 - 21 d
    TS-L632D read a burn only DVD-R DL discs.
    I contacted Toshiba support via e-mail and asked
    for a new disk firmware, but the answer did not solve my problem.

    There are only updates in the download area of toshiba,
    but not for my car model. I can send my laptop
    for the money to a service partner, to check this problem.

    I do not understand this! I bought a laptop upscale
    for 1,700 EUROS and there is no support for the update of the firmware
    available to solve problems with newer drives?

    If I get this problem in the WEB, there is an a large number of
    questions and problems with playback and engraving
    Discs DVD-R DL with this drive model!
    How is it possible?

    I hope for some advice to get an update of the firmware player
    to solve the problems of reading and writing DVD - R DL discs.

    Janni J. Gettings of Germany

    Hello

    I found the update of the firmware on the European driver Toshiba page!

    Satego X 200 - 21 d seems to belong to the PSPBEE and the Toshiba page provides the update of the firmware to TO02.
    It s for the TS-L632 reader.

    But generally not all CD or DVD of all manufacturers is fully supported.

    My knowledge of the user manual should provide a details and info on compatible and tested media.
    Using recommended media, you can be sure they will be compatible and will work 100%.

    The sys. tells me that the D: drive is not found, and the disc has been removed without preparation and cannot be found, error code 10.

    What this means, as I tried to update the BIOS and it didn't need, and I can't find a driver for the A40 Satellite from Toshiba.
    In addition, drivers seem to be ok and the boxes are checked in the device management, even if the optical drive has sometimes a yellow exclamation?
    Tried the recovery disc and no luck.
    Also the drive does not work now, because it does not read discs!
