  Help!

  Hi YouMaCry,

  You have any records? or a USB recovery?

  If you cannot install an OS on your SSHD your SSHD can be defective, because it is reading it is cluster/bad sectors. A defective HDD/SSD/SSHD can still be detected (sometimes even when it is defective).

  To be sure contact Lenovo Support Center and ask them to send you your SSHD/unit in a get fully tested Lenovo the SSHD repair depot - and have defective parts repaired within a reasonable time!

  See you soon

• Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

  I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
  If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

  How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

  In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

  The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

  NTLDR
  Boot.ini
  NTDETECT.COM
  Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

  Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

  When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

  Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

• I would like to replace small 'C' drive with the new more

  Hello
  My name is Erik and have the following question.
  I'm out of space on my hard drive of 40 g.  He is the master, and where I have windows XP installed among other things.  I have a disc of hd 650G I want to make the main drive (master), then use the 40g as a slave or secondary disk.  How can I transfer the bootfiles and the operating system, and additional programs from the current 'C' drive to the new drive.  It is possible for me to install the new drive as a slave if that helps...
  Thanks, Erik

  Download install Acronis TI of trial and clone the drive, make sure that you follow the instructions to stop immediately the clone is complete, then make the drive over the master, unplug the old C drive, restart, and then if necessary reconnect old C as a slave.

  Or use the tool available on most car manufacturers sites, read the instructions

• Hard drive Question on new Y50

  Hi, I ordered a Y50 last week and I'm waiting to be shipped. I've gone through these forums a lot try to seek answers to my question.

  I intend later my SSHD to a 512 GB or 1 TB SSD 1 TB upgrade when prices are met. What I'm confused about is a recovery key and how that will work with the new HD? I read that it will not work if the partitions are changed or if you use a new HD, or if you format the old drive?

  I don't know if I want to run Windows 8.1, maybe linux, I want to expirament. I can just use Windows 8.1 anyway.

  If I ever want to sell the laptop, I want to while working where I do not change the hard drive. Is there a concise guide on how to get all backed up and is working on a new hard drive, including a recovery key?

  The first thing I want to do when I get the laptop is my backup system image, but what good is it if I plan on the HDD out of switching or the modification of partitions? I looked on these forums, and the more I read I became more confused.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  
  

• HP Touchsmart, model 520-1070: can I replace a defective hard drive with a new SSD in a HP Touchsmart, model 520-1070

  The HD in my Touchsmart 520-1070 broke down.  I wonder if I can replace the defective HD with a SSD in the 520-1070?

  Any recommendations on the type of SSD, where I could acquire an and have the existing data migrated from defective HD would be appreciated.

  If you purchase the SSD as a migration kit, it will come with instructions.

• Satellite C660-28 d - problem "Load driver" with the new HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-28 t.

  The hard drive has failed. I called Toshiba Support who send me a replacement.

  However in the meantime I was going to put in my spare hard drive and do a fresh install of another operating system that I have a spare for (Win 7) key.

  However, I can't past the screen "Loading Drivers" as the laptop came with driver disks.
  I can't find the drivers on the Toshiba site (I tried some drivers intel which I thought were good, but he says they were not signed and all comes down to the loading screen drivers).

  I have made the recovery discs, but obviously can not use them on the new hard drive as it doesn't have the recovery partition.

  Any ideas on where I can get the proper drivers from?

  Thank you

  > I made the recovery discs, but obviously can not use them on the new hard drive as it doesn't have the recovery partition.

  If you have a recovery disk using Toshiba preinstalled recovery media creator tool, you just have to boot from that disk to begin the installation.

  More info: all the recovery disk for Toshiba Europe, models of laptops can be ordered here:

• GE force 314.22 video driver with the new office issue

  I bought my desire Phoenix h9-1340 t nine at HP in January.  A month and a half ago, I've updated the video driver from Nvidia Web site and the video card no longer works correctly.  I contacted the technical support.  They had me turn off all my Windows drivers and had run me the computer in selective startup.  The video card, then worked, and they said that the problem has been resolved.  I told them that this doesn't seem to be a solution for me, so they sent me a new video card.  That has not fixed the problem.  I was told to return the pc to HP for a repair.  I just returned it today and I saw that the only thing they did was to replace the video card again.  I contacted HP and they said that the problem was with Nvidia driver and told me to only update the video driver through HP.  I recorded with Nvidia and posted my problem.  The reaction was unanimous and the issue lied with the configuration with my computer not driver Nvidia.  Could someone please help me with this problem?

  Hello new pinktoe.

  If using Selective startup allowed pilots to work properly then there must be something in this list cause you problems.  You need to determine what exactly is causing the problem.  I would suggest trying the following.

  1. Press Windows + X key combination.
  2. Select 'run '.
  3. Type "msconfig" and press ENTER.
  4. Start without services or startup items using Selective startup.  However, only select one.
  5. Save the changes and reboot the laptop.
  6. If the problem persists, return to msconfig and reactivate the disabled item.  Disable the other element, save your changes and restart again to verify that the question doesn't disappear indeed with this option.

  If the problem disappears when disable services that you will want to try the following.

  1. Select the Services tab.
  2. Check the box "hide all Microsoft services" at the bottom left.
  3. Disable all services.
  4. Re-enable the first services of 5-10, save the changes and restart the computer.
  5. If the problem returns then you know that this is one of these services and you can always disable the services activated until you find the culprit.
  6. Repeat if necessary until the offender is found.
  7. Display the result.

  If the problem disappears to disable startup items, you will need to repeat the same process.

  Once you determine what item (s) is causing the issue make sure to display the result.

  Nice day!

• Installation of Win XP on a new hard drive with the new motherboard

  I have currently baught a new motherboard and hard drive.  I tried to load XP on a new 250 GB Western Digital SATA 2.0.  When you run the Windows Setup program formats the hard disk to NTFS and then said the system will restart and launch the installation.  Upon reboot, new XP starts the Setup program and wants to format the drive again.  It shows her format partition and when I go to format again once it is said that in doing so, I would be deleting files from windows that have already been installed on the system.  Why does this happen?

  Set the BIOS for SATA "Native IDE" then I deleted the partition.  RELOADED windows and the problem has been resolved.  Thanks for the help.

• floppy drive with a new drive

  my floppy drive is not entirely read th way disc may be usef

  How old is your floppy drive?

  Floppy disk drives installed on desktop computers were a main entrance for dust, and over the years, there would be enough accumulation of dust on the heads such as the reader has become useless. They can be taken apart and cleaned, or you can buy a new maybe only one, a type of USB that can be disabled if not used.

  It is also important to always format a disk before each use and throw 'old'.

• Suggested Drive setup for new h8 - 1360t with SSD and Raid-1 array

  All,

  I need some advice on how to configure the drives in my new system (waiting for construction and delivery, sigh).

  I bought a plan to replace the 1 TB drive with a new drive SSD that I start from and H8 - 1360T (Win 7 Pro).

  I also have a Raid-1 array in an old HP 4999 T system (Vista) disks Western Digital Caviar Black 2x2TB

  By looking at the motherboard plug appear to be only SATA0/1 6 GB/s, the others are 3GBPS.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03132942

  I was a little surprised by that and need some advice.

  1. If I put the SSD on SATA0 or SATA1, the quickest way?

  2 or do I put the drives Raid-1 array and move the SSD to path of 3 Gbps?

  I think this last (option 2), but wanted to get your entry in case missed me something.

  Thank you

  Joel

  Ruette,

  Thanks for your comments. Looks like I should start with Option 1 as a better starting point.

  I just need to make the boot inherited from the bios, like that he started directly from the hard drive and does not need of any software pre installed HP to start.

  Thanks for your help anyway
