my laptop does not recognize two of the three partitions. They show as NTFS only

then, when I open the tab of the computer to look at my hard drives. He initially present with three hard drives with bars informing me of the ive of space used and the space that is open. now, it comes with the hard drive of 1 have the information bar and 2 and 3 have only NTFS letters with no bar. However earlier when I start my computer all hard drives would have the info. bar below them up to what I would like to access. shortly after, they would disappear off the screen (everything that would be in the area a hard drive, an and an another device. HDD 2 and 3 would be same there to click on). I restarted my computer a couple of times now.i have been researching running a diagnosis with little result. If tried looking for more on that NTFS is with little result. I tried analyzing and defraging the hard drives, but disappears shortly after the start to the top. Ive tried vibrions a search and correction program that is located in the Properties menu of hard disks. I ckecked the connection of hard disks of the computer, making sure that they are connected correctly (they are).

and because of this problem I bought an external hard drive and I'm trying to save what I left on my computer. However it is said that the backup has expired after so long. What is also gives me grey hair.

    Hello

    Most wireless with ability to scan printers also offer a scan wireless.

    The features of the printer and Scanner are designed by the manufacturer of the OEM printer so
    You must check with their support, their drivers and documentation online and ask for their

  • My laptop does not recognize the HDMI cable

    I don't know if I posted this properly, but I would really like for you to tell me a little more about HP pavilion 1 TB of hard drives.

    I bought a HP Pavilion processor with ADM 1 to less than a year ago. There was whisky spilled on it a couple of months before the summer, but I managed to get back to work and it was very good and stil in good shape.

    A few weeks ago, I dropped the laptop from the desktop and it fell on a carpet. Isn't difficult, but not smoothly either. And it is always on when I got it up and working.

    When I stopped it the laptop refused to start. I did a quick diagnosis to check the hard disk and it says already something with red letters.

    I took the laptop PCs store and human a glance told me, the hard drive is dead and I need a new one fitted. "Everything is in good condition", he assumed, and I agree with him to change the hard drive.

    I told him specifically to replace the hard drive with another 1 TB, but he subsequently advised me with good confidence that I was better with a 320 and buy an external hard drive. The laptop will work very well in terms of speed. He mounted in a 320 HARD drive and gave me back my laptop with Windows 7 ultimate.

    Now, the laptop does not connect to HDMI and AMD catalyst is recognized not no matter how many times I install it. And honestly I don't know if the man really had something out of my laptop. The HARD disk he gave in return tells me his Samsung S/N: S34LJ9BG601601648

    PS: I checked the amount of space to the new HARD drive that had been installed in and it said 297 GB not 320 GB. Am I missing something? Why can I not see all of the HARD disk if it is 320?
