MY LOCAL DRIVE E AND F HAVE DISAPPEARED

I saw that you already had a question like that, but it has not solved my problem completely. When I go to my computer, the drive only I see is "Floppy Drive", while the rest is gone. I did what "Diana" said it but look at what it shows me:
http://i53.Tinypic.com/358opb6.jpg

Uninstallation of software associated with drives such as the CD/DVD, software to record leaves behind a UpperFilters and LowerFilters value that works and keeps the drive working is more sometimes.

Remove values UpperFilters and LowerFilters, that do not exist by default on XP, allows the reader to work again.

However, you will need to reinstall any software associated with readers that is not working properly after making the registry change.

  • If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer?

    Packed HARD drive

    If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?

    Yes.

    Not at all.

    N °

    If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish.  A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.

    Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer...  Then you have a problem.

    Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

    I have a problem with my screen whose colors and the graphics disappeared. This is particularly evident in my email (gmail) and Facebook.

    Performing a recovery of HARD drive won't solve the problem? Will I lose my files and other programs if I perform HARD drive recovery?

    Hello

    > which the colors and graphics are gone
    How to understand this? Sorry, but I don't know what you mean it, especially if it happens on Gmail and Facebook.

    Can you post a photo or a screenshot of that?

    > Executing a HARD drive recovery will solve the problem? Will I lose my files and other programs if I perform HARD drive recovery?
    If it s just associated software problem HARD drive recovery will solve your problem, Yes. HARD drive recovery will remove the first partition, so if you have important data on the first partition you must make a backup before you start with the installation of HARD drive recovery.

  • I have a serial number valid for windows Vista Home Basic, but my hard drive crashed and I have no way to re - install vista on my computer. I am looking for a download so I can do it.

    Basically, I installed windows 2000 on my machine and I can't find a download for windows vista home basic that doesn't have some kind of crack or keygen. I want a legal copy not a hack. I have the serial number supplied with my computer. where can I find this download or get a drive.

    Here are all LEGAL for Vista:

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Renewal of my membership CC, payments made, but all applications and programs have disappeared.

    Hi all

    I renewed my membership full CC on 6 January of this year.  Payment of 45UKP taken by Adobe.  All access to all CC programs disappeared.  When I connect it tells me I have one year subscription, but when I tried to download any program it tells me that I left the 0 days of my free trial and I wonder if I want to buy the product. I contacted Adobe customer support chat, they have no idea what is the problem and so just lie - telling someone will contact me by email and the problem will be solved within 24 hours.  No one ever contacted me.

    Last conversation:

    Sidibé: I will increase the cases to the relevant team and our team will contact you by email within 2-3 days and resolve the issue.

    Colin Munro: Which is really not good enough. This happened for two weeks now. Told me almost a week she was refitted and someone would contact me. I did not. I paid for the product and I need to use it now. I need someone to contact me today.

    Sidibé: Let me check.

    Colin Munro: thank you

    Sidibé: I see that your case is still in process and however I put a reminder that our team will contact you within 24 hours.

    Sidibé: Number of cases: 0217575866

    Colin Munro: Through process person never has looked at him yet?

    Sidibé: No, means process, our team works closely with the question and we will contact you back as soon as the problem is solved.

    Colin Munro: If that was the case, then the bare minimum, I would have expected is someone sent me and informed me about this. It is really really poor service. 

    Sidibé: I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Sidibé: Since our relevant is always present in the case which is why you don't have any email.

    Colin Munro: I would like a team dealing with this email me now and confirm this please

    Sidibé: However our competent team will contact you by e-mail within 24 hours.

    Sidibé: I assure you that our team will contact you by e-mail within 24 hours.


    Of course, nothing has been heard of Adobe, and I still have no access to the products that I am paying.  Any help much appreciated.
